I’m just trying to upgrade to Wordpress 2.3.1
Not everything’s working too well, but I’m trying to get through the new database structure.

Key point - I’ve disabled CategoryOverload.
I’ve hopefully made the code above a bit more compliant (using the $wpdb-> prefix).
Some of the underlying tables have changed, so here’s a replacement for the SQL in the 13th May post (which seems to work for me).

SELECT term_id, name
FROM $wpdb->terms
WHERE term_id IN
(
SELECT term_id
FROM $wpdb->term_taxonomy
WHERE parent=6
)
ORDER BY term_id

As the ‘get_links’ tag - used above - is deprecated in WordPress 2.3, I suppose it’s probably best if you switch to the wp_list_bookmarks tag instead.

The above code segments still seem to work with WP 2.2

I’ve also used the Get Comments Count plugin from Mark Jaquith’s Tempus Fugit site.
It should make posts summaries cleaner, by only highlighting posts where there is a comment.
Here’s how I use it in my Category pages :

if (get_comments_count() > 0) : ?>
This post has comments_number(); ?>
endif; ?>

I had a few problems getting the code to appear properly. My apologies to anyone affected.
So I’ve installed the codesnippet plugin - which “colourises” the code as well. Thanks to those involved.
I’ve also - hopefully - got the Comments function working as I’d like (if you can see this, then I have).
This is mostly so I can give updates on topics.
I’m afraid I’m not still opening them up in general, however, as I don’t have time to moderate all the spam entries.
