Hi Doug,

I am trying to install PostPost plugin and it works great. I am putting a promotion after each post but I am having an issue. The promotion is being displayed in the categories / homepage where I have kept the more tag. The promotion appears after the READ MORE link. Is there a way we can fix that? Not show after READ MORE link??

Thanks for your help.

Chandra

Doug: thanks for the fast reply! So, I guess I did a poor job of asking my question. I seem to be having some issues with how PostPost works with my blog specifically with the single post display option.

Not that it really matters, but my blog is located at:
http://www.theaccidentalnegotiator.com/

It looked like you and a commenter (is that a word?) were discussing this very problem back at the beginning of 2008.

Was it a problem back then? Does the “After Single Post on Page” work on your blog today?

I’m more than willing to admit that I’ve screwed something up, but first I’m just checking to see if everyone else is having the same problem.

I’ve looked at your code and it’s nice & clean, so for right now I’m blaming “is_single”.

Let me know what you think.

Welcome, Dr. Jim! I've not seen the is_single problem rectified by WordPress at this point. I am going to take a double-take at the code, but I'm pretty sure the plugin is okay. Doug

Doug: nice plug-in – short & simple. I’m using the default Wordpress theme (v 1.6) and the “After Single Post on Page” option does not seem to display anything.

Did you ever solve the is_single problem?

It doesn’t (I’m using the Big Blue theme). Any chance to solve this?

Released PostPost 1.2.0 today! It utilizes the is_single function of WordPress so you should be able to post something before or after a single post page.

I can’t seem to get it working on my blog, though. I’m reading at WordPress support that some other folks are having problems with their template and the is_single function. It doesn’t break anything, it just doesn’t display anything.

Let me know if it works for your blog, though!

np, glad you’ve seen the comments. Did you get the e-mail describing how on category pages, the adverts were sometimes rendered without being interpreted? Not sure if that is how you should technically phrase it, but instead of an advert, I basically saw the html for it instead…
No hurry requested on my part – I’m fiddling with other things myself right now…

Ooops! Sorry, Chris! I missed this comment for some reason. I do have a number of improvements that I would like to make on the project, I just need to get around to them!

I’m guessing this post isn’t checked very often?
I tried checking the project page, but couldn’t see a comment section, so mailed you a while back.
I’m now not using ads in the same way, but wonder if other users might still find the features I mentioned above useful.

I had to take down the per-post ads, as a number of readers had commented on the appearance of short posts when viewed via the category links.
If you happen to find 5/10 minutes spare, could you contact me, and I’ll happily re-insert the code, if you fancy tracing the issue.
Thanks.
