WordPress K2 theme and problem with comments (solution)

Since I have upgraded a WordPress to version 2.8 I have seen new comments counted by Akismet plugin but nothing in spam queue nor any comments to approve. It looked very strange for me!

I have logged out from my blog admin and tried to post a comment. After submitting it I saw a blank page!

The worst thing was that I have not found any solutions in google (and people say that google always knows the answer :)) - so I decided to upgrade K2 Theme... But there is now new release on their main page!

But wait! There is a solution! (or I would not write this post :)) After some googling (ok... please forget what I wrote about google before... :D) I have found K2 nightly build subpage... All you need to do to fix this issue is to upgrade K2 with nightly build. It can be downloaded from: http://getk2.com/nightly/.

I have decided to download last RC8 version (k2-1.0-RC8-revision-807-2009-07-13.zip). And now you can test if comments are working again :)

PayPal shopping cart

Very simple to use PayPal shopping cart. It may be customized by CSS sheet to your needs. You can use any currency supported by PayPal and define any type of products or services to sell. There are two types of groups for selling items - with radio button (client can choose only one option from group) or with checkboxes (client can choose many options from the group). Number of groups in cart is unlimited! All orders details are available thru admin. Additionaly descriptions over and under shopping cart may be customized with simple templates. Script is written in pure PHP and data is stored in MySQL database.

Demo shows example of using this cart for ordering “Wedding photographer”. If it doesn’t, probably someone have already been testing it… Anyway database resets every 24h so I am not going to change this description… :D If you want you may test it by clicking links below.
