This is the perfect plugin for my website! However, less than 24h after I installed it the external website I would link to is not showing up below the bar. All I see is the bar with all functions intact and then it is just blank. I tried to reinstall it but the problem is still there? Would you mind have a look?
Thanks

I’m not sure which site you’re having this issue, but some websites do not allow to be iframed, which can cause the page not to load with the bar. Hope this provides some clarity.

Hello,
I seem to be having an issue – and I’d love your help. I serously love this plug in, and want to use it – I even spent 3 hours already in the css configuring it so it looked like our site branding.
Big problem though – its taking ALL of my internal links (links to my own pages and posts) and adding the bar. I’ve tried whitelisting my domain – doesn’t seem to be doing anything. Am I missing something? I have it off now, b/c i can’t have my site visitors seeing this thing at the top of every page when they use internal links.
Any thoughts (other than going through every link in the individual settings part and turning the bar off? WHy isn’t the white list working? I’m on WP 3.0 if that helps.
Help would be UBER appreciated!

I’m currently working on a completely new and revised version of the bar and I’m really excited to release it! Its WP 3.0 friendly and is addressing many issues such as yours. Hope to release the new plugin soon!

For some reason the wordpress bar is not changing all external links on my site. I have an RSS feed that is displaying content on my homepage and those links are not being converted, but the posts I have with external links are being converted. So it works on the posted external links but not the dynamically generated ones. Any solution?
Thanks,
Mike

It only applies it to posts on your site. If the RSS feed that is displaying content on your site is not actually turning each RSS feed item into a post it will not apply the functionality. Unfortunately to do this would be beyond the scope of this project since it would be related to a special use case. If you were using a plugin such as FeedWordPress, the posts created by this plugin would have the WordPress Bar. Hope this helps!

I have the same issue as Mike, where as I would like to pick up the links that a feed through my RSS feeds and have the bar applied.
You mention that this is outside the scope of the project, what would it take to have it included in your next revision?
Thanks
Simon

You need to at a “?” in the PHP before the link is called. For example in the PHP for the RSS instead of calling “http://www.google.ca”, set it to call “?http://www.google.ca”.
This is how we have it set up now – Example: http://toronto.backyard.it

I would love to know how you got the WordPress Bar and FeedWordPress to work together to place the bar at the top of RSS feed links. I was using the Bar and just installed FeedWordPress but can’t seem to get it to place the bar.

I’ve looked at this one. I still prefer the look and feel of Sexy Bookmarks though.

It would be nice to be able to search the URL’s. Also, what table contains the current URL’s. I want to delete a bunch of them at one time and I’ve got hundreds and hundreds of these things.
Great Tool. I’ll be sure to donate next time I get paid!
