It’s a bug insofar as it relates to bug 13; aside from that, though, it is expected behavior (”correct” is arguable ;). Glad you got things sorted! (You may want to double-check that bug 10 isn’t affecting you now, though).

The theme I’m using uses the_content on the archive page. Replacing this with the_excerpt produces the same snippet, but without the table of contents from the in-series plugin. I don’t know whether you consider this a bug or correct behavior. Either way I’m good for now!

Well, that shouldn’t happen :)

If you could could let me know the versions of WordPress and In Series that you’re using (and, if you know them, for PHP and MySql, too), along with an exact set of steps I can follow to reproduce the problem, that would be great. If you could put all that into the bug tracker for me, that would be even better. A link to a page exhibiting the problem would also be helpful.

I’m curious to know what’s going on, since I’ve never experienced the behavior you describe before, and I can’t immediately think of how it could happen.

I suppose that’s a fair observation. Renaming a series is more believable operation than deleting an entire series while retaining the individual posts, but that has the exact same “you have to edit every one” issue. That said, we’re getting into a different paradigm for interacting with a series — treating the series as a stand-alone entity that can be edited and manipulated independent of posts. I’ll have to meditate on a design that will allow for renaming and deleting of entire series, without evoking a “why can’t I add/remove individual posts to/from the series with this?” response, while still ensuring that users can find the series-editing UI.

I’ve entered this as bug 25.

Thanks for your continued work on a valuable plug-in.
Cheers,
Dan
