How To Fix Subscribe To Comments Plugin In Wordpress 2.1 RC1

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?
