SUCCESS! I think I even figured out a little bit about how to do some php coding.

Actually, I'm pretty sure I've found the problem: custom_functions.php has some poorly written code in the default version. There is a "?>" buried in the middle of an example that was screwing up everything after it. While I haven't had time to reinsert your code, I'm sure it's going to work fine when I get to it.

Thanks again for your patience!

Yep, WP-Cache is enabled; I checked that as soon as I saw your modified code, and it was already enabled.

The only thing I can figure is I have something going on elsewhere that is inhibiting some of the php code. Either that, or I wonder if my webhost is somehow interfering with some php execution: I occasionally get error messages from them when I install or modify plugins, for example.

I'll keep working at it. It just seems strange that things just completely shut down as it tries to execute the php call.

Unfortunately, same result. Copied your changed code exactly, pasted it into custom_functions.php. Here is what I put into OpenHook > Multimedia Box:

Join the fleet of Subscribers Join the fleet of followers

And here is a picture of the output: <img src="http://emberapp.com/ucla74/images/firefox/sizes/m.png" title="Firefox"/>

There should be a lot more below that (my sidebars) but it's completely blank.

The only thing I changed in your code was thotsunlimited to kestrelsaerie in 2 places. :) Will give the updated code a shot. Trouble is, it was failing even before it got to the Twitter call.

Tried again:
1. Code copied and pasted directly to custom_functions.php and saved.
2. Join the fleet of Subscribers copied and pasted as-is to the multimedia box.
3. Everything after "Join the fleet of" is gone: sidebars and footer.
4. Repeated (2) but pasted to the middle of my widgetized footer.
5. Again, everything after "Join the fleet of" is gone: the Thesis ad, as well as the third footer area.

Very, very puzzling. Obviously, other php code is working just fine. And now it's 1am; I'm off to sleep on this mystery.

Double checked and still have the Awareness API enabled. And I got the same page you did with that link, so I guess the FeedBurner side is still working.

For the time being, I have restored my original code to my Multimedia Box. I will also try to put your code there; it just seems to be a convenient place at the moment. However, as it's after midnight here, I probably won't have this done tonight, but I may give it one shot.

Thanks for following up, Ashwin--the concept is great, and I hope we can get it to work!

I think this is a brilliant idea, but I've been working at it for a couple hours now, and it's simply not working on my site. I'm trying to include the calls in my multimedia box, but I've also tried other locations. I can get my RSS icon to appear, as well as the words "Subscribe and join" but it seems as soon as the php tries to execute (and yes, I've checked the OpenHook box to execute php *grin*), everything else stops, and my sidebars don't even display.

I copied your custom.css code (tt_rss and tt_twitter styling), but that doesn't appear to do anything either. Any suggestions?

And I just noticed my choice of how to display comments doesn't "stick"...even though all I did was add another comment to the page! What's the point?

Re: Introducing the New DISQUS

Kestrel — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:02:16 -0000

I'd also like the ability to disable the comment rating system. What a great way to discourage people from commenting! *frown*

Apparently I've successfully exported my comments from WP 2.6 to Disqus. However, the only comment showing up on my blog is from another Disqus user. How, exactly, do I restore my earlier comments (including some made AFTER I installed Disqus)?

I'm getting dangerously close to hitting the Uninstall button. The lack of adequate (or easy to find) documentation to continue showing earlier comments is frustrating to say the least.

I'm also concerned that my commenters (and myself!) no longer have the ability to edit comments. I hope this is a feature that will be implemented in 2.0.1.

Arghh...and editing comments is gone, for me as well as my readers. Furthermore, non-Disqus comments aren't showing up. Getting close to hitting Uninstall.

First post. ;) I notice that we really don't have the option to not import comments to Disqus if we want earlier comments to be visible. Not sure I like that...and what if folks don't have a Disqus account?

I can't imagine NOT continuing my hunter, at least, and probably my holy priest. The DK really doesn't appeal to my playstyle, but who knows? I do tend to prefer DPS classes though.
