I thought I fixed that. I <em>remember</em> hitting that, and fixing it. But still, it is quite clearly released and a bug. I have a fix ready to go; I'll do another release to take care of things. @Anmol

Gah! I thought I fixed that. I remember hitting that, and fixing it. But still, it is quite clearly released and a bug. I have a fix ready to go; I’ll do another release to take care of things.

Now I can't get it to change back to "Bottom" (even though I select Bottom) and then Update. It always reverts back to Top. Clearing the cache, etc has not helped either. Any suggestions.

IT WORKS! My database went bad somehow. I rebuilt it, and everything works now. Thanks for the effort, and your continuing efforts in maintaining this extension.!

I wouldn't be surprised if it is an issue with the new WordPress, but maybe not. Just a thought, perhaps it is the way I have it called: ID, 'series_name', TRUE); if ('' != $series) { echo "<b>Article Series - $series</b>\n"; series_table_of_contents($series); } ?> <!-- end inseries --> I will wait with great anticipation your results.

If things miraculously correct themselves after this, I'll let you know....

Got back two "rows" which noted the only two series. Initially the query did not work, as it tried to access the wrong database (I had 3 on that server). I deleted the database (no loss, I just hadn't done it anyways), then the query worked. In the Management section of the Dashboard, the series name shows up, but it doesn't show up on in the edit section, nor does it show up on the single post series. I believe the In Series plugin worked normally at 2.1.0, and as near as I can tell (which, truly, is very little), neither MySQL nor PHP were updated between 2.1.0 and 2.1.2 (never did install 2.1.1). I know that WordPress made some structural changes to the code due to security and bugs. Is it possible that the way In Series is calling MySQL through WordPress is the issue? In other words, is it possible that the structural changes in WordPress changed how the In Series calls work? What versions of WordPress and In Series is everybody using, in addition to MySQL and PHP? PHP version 5.1.4
MySQL version 4.1.21-standard
WordPress version 2.1.2
In Series version: 2.2.0

Unfortunately, this means that In Series cannot presently operate properly on versions of MySQL before 4.1. This <em>may</em> be fixed in 3.0, because I'm going to be restructuring tables. However, I don't think I'm going to remove the subqueries from 2.x, because it would be a performance hit for everyone else, and because 4.0.x MySQL is <acronym title="End of Life">EOL</acronym> anyway. I will, however, take a look and see if there's <em>something</em> I can do. All right, from the looks of it, subquery support was added in 4.1.0.

All that I have to do is get that version of MySQL installed locally, now, so I can test it out.
