The plugin seems to work pretty well on plain vanilla installations but I found something that MIGHT be a bug related to custom querys… I say might because maybe that’s how you expected it to work.

Some details:
- WP 2.7.1
- ACE 1.3.2
- PHP & MYSQL (tried in two different installations)

Explanation:

If I select a category to be excluded from the HOME, it works just as “advertised”. The problem actually appears on the sidebar on a custom query.

ACE is also affecting other querys in the same page, not only the main QUERY.

I have a very simple “alternate” loop:

$my_query = new WP_Query(‘caller_get_posts=1&cat=1&showposts=10′);
while…

Should it modify that query also?

i had also this problems –
did a try to solve it: it ‘helps’ to add more exclusion targets

like:

$ace_targets = array(‘is_archive’=>__(‘Archive’,'ace’),’is_home’=>__(‘Home’,'ace’),’is_feed’=>__(‘RSS Posts’,'ace’),’is_comment_feed’=>__(‘RSS Comments’,'ace’),’is_search’=>__(‘Search’,'ace’), ‘is_page’=>__(‘Pages’, ace), ‘is_single’=>__(‘Single Posts’, ace),’norobots’=>__(‘Disable robots’,'ace’));

@DjZoNe : I would like to contribute this

I should probably restate my earlier comment.
The test should read: “view the archives page which lists all months.”
The result should read: “the month with the test posts (e.g. January 2009) should not be listed”

This also applies to other tools such as the calendars etc…

Love your tool but have to submit a bug report:

Use case:
- Start: For a given month (e.g. January 2009) only have posts in category “x”
- Action taken: Exclude category “x” from the Archives using ACE.
- Test: View the archives page for the given month
- Result:
– The archives page will list an entry for the given month. (This is an error)
– Attempting to view the posts of that month will result in a 404 error. (This is expected)

Additional info:
- ACE version: 1.3.2
- WP version: 2.7.1
- No other plugins are active, themes have no incidence.

Thanks for looking into this.

Could you please make a new post discussing the changes?
