Thanks for the find Dan! I’ve made the modification and uploaded v 2.0.5:
if(($wptr_hours == “4″)||($wptr_hours === null))

Appreciate it!

Thanks for your WP plugin, Douglas. I found a small bug in the admin interface that you probably should correct: the cache select box is not working properly. This is due to your line:
if(($wptr_hours == “4″)||($wptr_hours = “”))
to set the select in case of not having been preset. I’m sure you can see you need a ‘comparison’ on the second case, not an ‘assignment’–which zeroes out the value of $wptr_hours, so it doesn’t select any of the options and you end up with ‘1′ by default. Hope this helps!

Not silly at all chinam! The plugin works by writing a copy of the results to a directory so that it doesn’t have to contact Technorati each time. This is called ‘caching’. In this case, it appears that the plugin does not have the appropriate permissions to write to the plugin/cache directory. If you can set permissions on that directory, they will need to be modified to have full permission (CHMOD 777).
