StripShow availability for WordPress 2.3?

The stripshow plugin seems to run into a database error with the new 2.3 version. :( 

WordPress database error: [Table '**database**.wp_post2cat' doesn't exist]
SELECT wp_posts.id,wp_posts.post_date FROM wp_posts INNER JOIN wp_post2cat ON wp_posts.id = wp_post2cat.post_id WHERE (wp_post2cat.category_id = 1) ORDER BY post_date ASC

While it still displays comics, this error message is seen at the top and sidebar of stripshow, and only if I activate the stripshow.php plugin.  This only happened after I upgraded wordpress, though…

Any suggestions?

Uh-oh. Looks like it's time to upgrade WordPress and test. I'll let you know what I find.

StripShow 1.5 is just about to be released, as soon as I finish the documentation. Once I find the cause of this error, I'll roll a fix into it.

Thanks for the quick response!

I look forward to seeing 1.5 soon! :)  I haven't had the time to test WordPress 2.3 yet, but the new Tags addition looks like it may be an interesting mix for comic posts. 

I wish you the best of luck!

It does indeed. Unfortunately, to get the Tags functionality in, it looks like they've removed the wp_post2cat table, which breaks any plugins which access that table directly.

In order for stripShow to get 2.3 compatible, I'm going to have to rethink a lot of code. So for right now, it appears 1.5 will be limited to 2.2 and lower. Sorry.

Just  a quick update — I've decided to go ahead and roll WP 2.3 support into version 1.5, and to  get that update out the door ASAP. So expect a release candidate soon — it might not have all the things I wanted to include (like a simplified theme revision and some example strips) but it should be enough to solve Ipaduu's problem.

    While I don't maintain stripShow for a living, I wouldn't say no to a little donation, if you think the plugin is worth it...
