May 2	comment	Why is $wpdb->get_results failing on certain tables but not others (which have data)? You can't use sprintf replacement for table names - `$wpdb->prepare( "%s", 'foo' )` will put single quotes around 'foo', which is not valid MySQL syntax for referring to tables.
Apr 20	comment	Sharing Dynamic Sidebars across Multisite Blogs I think it's going to be more trouble than it's worth to stick with WP's actual widget infrastructure. Instead, abstract the widget markup/PHP into a separate function, which you will then call directly in a template file (or hook to an appropriate action).
Apr 17	comment	How to you redirect to Member Profile in BuddyPress Yes, I rule :) You're welcome.
Apr 17	comment	How to speed-up BuddyPress - Plug-in Error Probably not. It's possible that the error message is coded incorrectly, so that it's telling you one path (the one listed above) but internally is actually looking for a different one. For instance, it might be missing `/plugins/`. Try creating a `cache` directory (with 755 permissions) inside of the db-cache-reloaded-fix plugin dir.
Apr 17	comment	How to override Member's Avatars in BuddyPress Yes, it is possible. When you first said "I have tried everything to override the BP Avatar" I figured you wanted to override all avatars. I have edited my answer with a proper method. As you note, it's a bad idea to change the core files, and in this case there are several filters there that make it unnecessary to do so.
Apr 16	comment	Registering custom TinyMCE buttons, for admin area, to work with custom instances of wp_editor Cool! So glad it's figured out.
Apr 16	comment	Custom Post Type Meta Box Text Input Field Won't Save When Blank Glad to help! I assume that the code was originally there in order to prevent you from accidentally deleting an option.
Apr 15	comment	Multiple loops on index page with sticky post and pagination Yes, but you didn't name the variable correctly. Change `if ( $page != 1 )` to `if ( $current_page != 1 )`, so that you'll be working with a variable that is defined.
Apr 13	comment	How to show all posts by author on buddypress profile with navigation It's not really possible for me to say, without knowing more about how you're implementing infinite scroll.
Apr 13	comment	Edit Custom Database Tables in Wordpress I don't recommend that you sink a lot of time into extending `WP_List_Table` - it's marked private, and I've been told by core devs that in the future, extending classes may just break. I have some fancy classes that help with manually displaying content in a WPish way: wordpress.org/extend/plugins/boones-sortable-columns wordpress.org/extend/plugins/boones-pagination Other than that minor point, +1 to what kaiser says.
Apr 6	comment	How much faster is a tax query than a meta query? Yes. If you already have it set up, leave it. I can't think of any arguments for switching it to postmeta.
Apr 6	comment	Sharing Dynamic Sidebars across Multisite Blogs I would need to test it, but I'm guessing that menus might work in a `switch_to_blog()` context, because they don't need to be registered by the theme before being called (the registration data is stored in the database).
Apr 6	comment	Sharing Dynamic Sidebars across Multisite Blogs The `$switched` global is called from within `switch_to_blog()`. You don't need to declare it in the global namespace.
Apr 5	comment	add_action reference a class Yeah, I was wrong. That only works if you're calling a static `init` method. See wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/48093/14052
Mar 29	comment	Multiple WP_Query loops with Pagination `add_args` lets you add an array of arguments to the URL. It's clearer in the inline docs and in the function itself: core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.3.1/wp-includes/… core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.3.1/wp-includes/…
Mar 29	comment	Multiple WP_Query loops with Pagination OK, I changed the answer again.
Mar 29	comment	Multiple WP_Query loops with Pagination Not sure what you mean by "gets stuck". As for the other point - yes, that's what I meant by the last sentence in my answer. You'll have to concatenate the `'base'` or `'format'` params so that they are aware of the other pagination argument.
Mar 29	comment	Multiple WP_Query loops with Pagination Cool. Good luck!
Mar 29	comment	Multisite Plugin - Access options (wp_options) on child sites `update_blog_option()`. I don't think there's a WP function for getting all site ids. Try: `global $wpdb; $blog_ids = $wpdb->get_col( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT blog_id FROM $wpdb->blogs" ) );`
Mar 29	comment	Multiple WP_Query loops with Pagination Two things: 1) You are doing some odd things with the `$wp_query` global. (2) There are some implementation oddities in `WP_Query` itself that make it impossible to use `get_query_var()` and some other functions with it, so I generally reference the `$_GET` superglobal directly, making sure to sanitize by casting to `int`. I've updated my answer with a full working example.
