I fixed it for 2.3 a while ago (at least i’ve had no complaints since the initial bugs were ironed out).

i used 2.4.1 – bleeding for my initial testing. i have not kept up with the snapshots due to holidays and office moves. i’ll probably update the code against the current bleeding edge snapshot at the same time as posting the various plugins towards the latter end of next week.

As the official 2.4 version will be skipped, what “snapshot” did you use?
All the best, bfh

1. Thanks for your work,
2. Info: You solved 2 problems I thought about for a long time.
=> I work in development aid, presently Sudan/Darfur, and committed to knowledge transfer I have first used a WP/XAMPP install on a USB stick to not only keep a project diary but to make certain portions of my posts accessible to others in the project office where I work.
“Like you I used categories to separate different “clientèle”: project staff, implementing partners – up to gov counterparts who could read only sanitized info but needed to be “informed”.
I later moved to Lighty2Go (a lighttp stack w. MySQL) but final target (in perceived “technical elegance and efficiency”) was always to use “SQLite”. Now it’s possible.
3. Where I would like to go.
For the last 4-5 years my target for “enabling “”knowledgeflows”” in development aid” was always to do “everything” inside the “Browser”.
=> acquiring knowledge => web site browsing
=> storing knowledge => texts in WP with tags
=> creating knowledge => WP with tags
=> sharing knowledge => writing email / publishing w WP
I worked with different compiled “temporary” solution in the last 5 yrs., all on USB sticks (DataProtection mainly) but now a great step is possible.
There is “PortableFireFox”, an extension called POW (Java webserver plus SQLite database), there is WP 2.3 / 2.4 with tags, there is your PDO “plugin” for SQLIte, now your “category controller” and there it is:
A potential “knowledge acquiring, creating / storing / publishing solution” to be distributed free on a USB Stick (plus some other OpenSource software for professional work: ganttproject, freemind, etc.)
By connecting the best blog system to SQLite you provided “my missing link”.
I will probably participate in starting / planning a school construction project in South Sudan. In touch with students / educators I will try testing the “validity” of my idea that increased “easy access to knowledge, participating in creating knowledge” will be “the” development issue to accelerate development.
Thanks again, keep you posted, bfh
