How To Fix Subscribe To Comments Plugin In Wordpress 2.1 RC1

January 21st, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

I’ve been using WordPress 2.1 RC1 for 2 days now and I’ve only had one problem in that the Subscribe to Comments plugin doesn’t work with it, throwing up a nasty error. Pretty surprising given that Mark is one of the lead Wordpress coders, but I guess he’s working flat out on getting Subscribe to Comments 2.1 ready.

After searching for a solution I finally found this fix which Mark gives in passing in a comment.

If you’re getting the following nasty error whenever a user leaves a comment:

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\blog\wp-content\plugins\subscribe-to-comments.php on line 438

Then to fix it all you have to do is to add (array) before ‘get_post_meta(’ on line 438.

So far I can’t say that WordPress 2.1 has got me overly excited. The only new feature that is visible above the skin which I must say I like so far is the improved editing window. I used to hate the way I couldn’t control tags in the old WYSIWYG window. Now all I need to do is toggle between Visual mode and Code mode to make sure my posts are going to come out the way I intended.

The spellchecker would have been useful a year ago, but Firefox 2 does that for me. What is funny though is that the WordPress spellchecker doesn’t know how to spell WordPress!

Anybody else running Wordpress 2.1 RC1? Any thoughts so far?

    That’s true about the spell checker… It’s a nice feature, but we could have done without it I think… I also thought it was funny that it didn’t recognise WordPress, but having said that, when Firefox 2 was released its spellchecker didn’t recognise “Firefox” either!
