    RobRush – Your theme has reset itself again.

    It sounds like there’s something wrong with your web host. The theme should not be resetting itself regularly like this.

    haha, no i just changed it back…

    i’ve put the suckerfish dropdowns in the standard theme and still gotten the error, i left that up there so there is no confusion about theme errors.

    so bizzare that this happens… i’ve tried a bunch of different stuff at this point.. and i see plenty of other people using the permalinks….  let me know anything i can do to get this working or help trouble shoot.  i’m hosting through godaddy, which has never given me problems before.  what a conundrum.

    RobRush – There is a quick solution to this of course. In the beta plugin, choose the option in the "Advanced" section to not use the built in CSS file. Then add your CSS to your existing themes style sheet (or create a new one use that). That would get your dropdowns working at least – albeit not using the method I had intended.

    i tried adding the suckerfish css to my style.css file and disabled it in the plug in, went from working with the default permalinks to not working and giving me the same list… straaaaaange. 

    THEN

    i switched to the perma links %date/%post… and it WORKED… stranger even still is that my old links like http://www.routinefly.com/?page_id=391 still got me to the right page, even though i changed the format. that sounds like wordpress though.  i then went back into suckerfish, and enabled the css option again and removed the css from my style.css… error again.  so i put the code back in my style.css and it seems to be fine.

    i’m sure i’m missing something, but the quick fix of putting my css in my style.css seemed to work…. and i’m impressed that wordpress still translates the old page data page_id=xxx to the new format.  boing!

    different bug..

    squash one, up rises another.  DOH.

    the recent post option, which i installed as a test to see if your plugin would load the links right, seemed to list recent comments instead of recent posts.

    #2701

    Yep, that is a known bug. The latest version of the plugin replaces the text "Recent Posts" with "Recents Comments".

    I’m now working on getting the recent posts to work.

    I put that recent posts feature in quite a while back and no one ever noticed it until I noticed it while doing an overhaul on the code the other day (twaz getting a tad messy). People have been using the feature and I’ve had it on the development blog and no one ever noticed it (or at least didn’t mention)!

    It seems that no one at Sitepoint is able to figure out a solution to this either. If anyone else suffers this problem, please let me know so I can try to track down a cause.

    If you want to report a similar problem, I need to see a live example of it in action before I can do anything about it. I’ve heard reports of this problem occurring for some people before but no one had given me an example so I assumed that those reporting it were just confused and had done something wrong (happens a lot).

    It seems like it may be a hosting issue, but I’m darned if I know what that could be. I can’t replicate the problem which makes it tricky for me to fix whatever the problem may be.

    Ryan – had this same problem with Permalinks.  Had to enable them (Numeric) to get Podpress’s STATS working (talk about a lack of support over there).  Any rate, once I got that working, my BELOVED Suckerfish broke!  Followed this thread though and downloaded the 2.2 beta – disabled the built-in CSS (weird eh) and added the generated CSS to my theme’s regular style.css – and wallah.

    Then found however that the support for suckerfish2() and beyond was missing – which broke the way we setup the menus with the Pages being the top-levels – and the ‘children’ of those pages being the drop-downs underneath.  Luckily I’ve got good at hacking code for my needs – so I went in and added your code back from 1.6.4 for the previous support (the section right before ‘// adds options menu’):

    [code:3n4mhgsz]
    // OLD FUNCTIONS FOR PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF THE PLUGIN – RE-ADDED BY KR – 050908
    function suckerfish1() {echo ‘<ul id="suckerfishnav">’ , wp_list_pages(‘title_li=’) , ‘</ul>’;}
    function suckerfish2() {echo ‘<ul id="suckerfishnav"><li><a href="’ , bloginfo(‘url’) , ‘/">Home</a></li>’ , wp_list_pages(‘title_li=’) , ‘</ul>’;}
    function suckerfish3() {echo ‘<ul id="suckerfishnav"><li><a href="#">Pages</a><ul>’ , wp_list_pages(‘title_li=’) , ‘</ul></li><li><a href="#">Archives</a><ul>’ , wp_get_archives() , ‘</ul></li><li><a href="#">Categories</a><ul>’ , wp_list_categories(‘title_li=’) , ‘</ul></li><li><a href="#">Blogroll</a> <ul>’ , wp_list_bookmarks(‘title_li=&categorize=0’) , ‘</ul></li></ul>’;}
    function suckerfish4() {echo ‘<ul id="suckerfishnav">’ , wp_list_pages(‘title_li=’) , ‘<li><a href="#">Archives</a><ul>’ , wp_get_archives() , ‘</ul></li><li><a href="#">Categories</a><ul>’ , wp_list_categories(‘title_li=’) , ‘</ul></li></ul>’;}
    function suckerfish5() {echo ‘<ul id="suckerfishnav"><li><a href="’ , bloginfo(‘url’) , ‘/">Home</a></li>’ , wp_list_pages(‘title_li=’) , ‘<li><a href="#">Archives</a><ul>’ , wp_get_archives() , ‘</ul></li><li><a href="#">Categories</a><ul>’ , wp_list_categories(‘title_li=’) , ‘</ul></li></ul>’;}

    // adds options menu
    add_action(‘admin_menu’, ‘show_suckerfish_options’);
    [/code:3n4mhgsz]

    Works like a champ now! Could you please make sure to include this on the future beta releases?  (otherwise I’ll have to keep re-adding it).  Also, looking forward to trying superfish out too.  Thanks for all your hard work!  I plan on donating soon!

    Ah, sorry, I removed that recently as I didn’t think anyone would be using it anymore.

    I can if you need me to, although it serves no purpose anymore as all of the features which that function had can be achieved via the admin panel.

    Hey Ryan – thanks for the quick reply.  You must be a late nighter like me.  <img decoding=” title=”Smiley” />

    Ah – if you can tell/show me how to do what I’m doing with the suckerfish2() function in the NEW beta, that would be great.  Then as you said it wouldn’t need to be included.  From what I saw (granted I glanced at it), it looked like ‘option 1’ was page drop-downs etc. on only ONE top-level drop-down.  However I may not understand it – maybe you can look and tell me.  I’m sending you the website via the contact page (spammers).

    Our webhost is 1&1 hosting  (1and1.com).  Major global webhost – and they advertise in PC Magazine all the time.  I don’t have many complaints.  I’ve yet to find the ‘bang for the buck’ for all you get bandwidth and storage-wise.  It’s amazing.

    Check our site and let me know.  Thanks Ryan.

    Late nighter? Nope, definitely not.

    You want to choose the "Home" button as your first option and then "Pages" as the next one. "Pages dropdown" would display the pages in a single dropdown which is not what the suckerfish2() function did, so don’t use that option. Hopefully that makes sense, if not let me know and I’ll try to explain in more depth.

    The other option you could use is to insert the PHP code directly into your template instead of using the regular suckerfish() function …
    [code:3vdi6awr]<ul id="suckerfishnav">
      <li><a href="<?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?>/">Home</a></li>
      <?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=’); ?>
    </ul>[/code:3vdi6awr]

    I doubt 1&1 is a problem as they’re a well respected web host. I was just wary when I noticed two people with the same issue used Goddady as they seem to have a poor reputation.

    Thanks, link received via email.

    You definitely have the same problem as the others. The style.php file is viewable, but when I tried to get it to display CSS in a browser it wouldn’t work. All of my own test sites work fine; even when I use a local HTML file linked to the style.php files on my test sites, it works fine. However when I try to do the same thing with your style.php file it won’t work at all … grrr … annoying problem.

    I’ll ask around a few more experts and see if they can figure out the cause of this issue.
