• Ulaan BSep 22, 2006

  Hi, Great plugin, no problem to install it on my website. I would like to knov how is it possible to change the order of the "post" : the older at the end of list, not at the beginning (not a list like : 1-2-3-4, but a list like : 4-3-2-1). Like this, you can read the last comment immediatly. Thanks a lot, kinds regards, Ulaan

• AndrewSep 22, 2006

  Hi Ulaan, I implemented your idea into the plugin. Please install the latest version, delete guestbook.php and guestcomments.php from your current theme folder and run the generator again. Don't delete your guestbook page.

• Ulaan BSep 24, 2006

  Hi Andrew, Great ! And thanks a lot for your reactivity. Everything goes fine. Best regards

• JörnSep 25, 2006

  SUPER, habe bislang noch ein extra Gästebuchplugin benutzt. Das ist jetzt überflüssig. Spitzen Plugin.

• SaritSep 26, 2006

  I wish there was a language file for this plugins! I would like to translate it to Hebrew and my only option currently is hard-coding the translations..

• AndrewSep 26, 2006

  Hi Sarit! Sorry for the inconvenience. I might be able to implement other languages soon, but I'm not familiar with Hebrew.

• SaritSep 26, 2006

  I would love it if you add language file in the future, it would be very helpful! :) Thanks!

• kristinSep 27, 2006

  Does this use the native wordpress comments system? If not, does it work with akismet?

• AndrewSep 28, 2006

  @Kristin: Yes it does use the usual comments system and will work with Akismet if you have it installed.

• FHERSep 28, 2006

  Hasta que por fin se le ocurrió a alguien hacer este plugin. Gracias por la iniciativa!!!!

• AndrewSep 28, 2006

  @FHER: de nada :)

• nimueSep 30, 2006

  greatest plugin!! only one thing: how can i put another order to the comments? the newest always on the top? kind regards nimue

• IvaOct 1, 2006

  Just what I was looking for, as my old guestbook script was vulnerable and I was always getting spammed. I am going to install it ASAP. I wish I could import those 400-something comments from the old GB, but guess I'll just make archive pages;) Thank you so much!

• EvanOct 4, 2006

  Hi, I'm getting the following error when I visit my guestbook page: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/klinehom/public_html/wp-content/themes/k2/guestcomments.php on line 26 Any suggestions? Thanks! Evan

• AndrewOct 4, 2006

  Hi Evan. Can you email me the file so I can take a look at it? -- andrew at alleba.com ... I tried it on the K2 template, but didn't encounter your error.

• EvanOct 4, 2006

  Great plugin, and Andrew got my problem straightened out within minutes after I posted. Thanks!

• PIPOct 4, 2006

  I`m using the Misty 101 Theme and got this message: "The required template files were not found in your current theme. Guestbook cannot be generated." What do i have to do?

• PIPOct 4, 2006

  oops! There is no single.php in the Misty 101 Theme!?

• AndrewOct 5, 2006

  You can try copying index.php and saving it as single.php. Run the generator and tell me how it goes.

• MichaelOct 7, 2006

  This is excellent- I have so been needing a guestbook- this is perfect. Thank you. I have one problem though. I am using WP2.0 with the 3c-blackletterhead-1.0 theme. The plugin installed with no problem but there is no where for a reader to click to leave their comment. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks

• MichaelOct 7, 2006

  Actually, I got it to work, I removed the whole thing and reinstalled. It did not create the guestcomments.php and guestbook.php files. I made those manually via your other guide. Thanks

• JimisolaOct 11, 2006

  Hi! Migrating my current webpage and guestbook to WordPress and your plugin helped me a lot. However, I was wondering if me migrating screwed something up or if it is not possible to show only a subset of guestbook comments, say 10, and then be able to walk back-and-forth (i.e. previous and next)? With 396 comments it takes a while... Jimisola

• joe bannerOct 14, 2006

  What a beautifully simple idea! Is the plugin supposed to change the line: to Without the help from "How to Create a Wordpress Guestbook Reloaded", I would not have been able to edit the guestbook.

• joe bannerOct 14, 2006

  the above should read: <code></code> to <code></code> From step number ten in "How to Create a Wordpress Guestbook Reloaded"

• jimmyOct 15, 2006

  hi Andrew, great work! thanks for this great plugin.. one thing though, how do I remove the "Posted by... on..." on top of the guestbook page? Also, like other post that has "filed under" a category, the guestbook page also has "filed under" a category. How can I remove those so it really looks like a page, not a post? Thanks!

• Bad LeoOct 17, 2006

  Thanks, I setup successfully! Thanks you plugin~!

• LiliOct 19, 2006

  Hi, I ran into the same problem as Evan said above: "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/conniesl/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/k2/guestcomments.php on line 26" It looks like you have solved Evan's problem, but how could I make it? Thanks! ^_^

• RomanOct 22, 2006

  Hi, I noticed the following error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/www/dae6f20f31415ca73b20394922f2ef9e/web/blog/wp-content/themes/gluedideas_subtle/guestcomments.php on line 25 What can I do ??

• tomOct 26, 2006

  very cool. Be sure to "chmod 777" your theme directory (ie: themes/water), or else it will claim to have succeeded but files won't be created. feel free to check out my custom version at wiredtom.com.

• 4ku.papaOct 28, 2006

  Cool plug-in - So easy to install and looks great.

• Dee Dee WarrenOct 30, 2006

  It tells me that the required files are not located in my theme. I am using the WordPress Classic theme.

• AndrewOct 30, 2006

  @Dee Dee: The plugin looks for the single.php file inside your theme folder. If it doesn't exist, the plugin won't work.

• Dee Dee WarrenOct 30, 2006

  Hi Andrew, I never deleted any files - how would you recommend me getting that .php file back? I only modified my CSS in the classic theme....

• AndrewOct 31, 2006

  @Dee Dee: You're probably using an old version. Go to this URL to download the latest one: http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/163/wordpress-default-15/

• Dee Dee WarrenOct 31, 2006

  Hi Andrew, I am sorry if this sounds ignorant, but if I upload the new one, will it overwrite my customizations?

• ChrisNov 1, 2006

  I get the follow error &amp; wondering if you have any suggestions: Warning: fopen(/home/joben/public_html/barnes/wp-content/themes/default/guestbook.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/joben/public_html/barnes/wp-content/plugins/guestbook-generator/guestbook_utility.php on line 27 along with a page of subsequent warnings...

• Dee Dee WarrenNov 1, 2006

  Andrew, I figured out how to preserve my code, but that link is for the default theme. I am using the classic theme, and it doesn't appear to have a new one. I tried another theme and it too doesn't have the "single.php" code. So I guess I can't use this unless I change my theme...

• Dee Dee WarrenNov 1, 2006

  Hehe, I copied the single.php file from the default theme and shoved it into my classic theme and now it works.

• AndrewNov 1, 2006

  @Chris: Sorry, but you would have to contact your webhost about enabling fopen. @Dee Dee: I apologize for the lateness, but yes, you did the right thing by copying the single.php file to your theme folder.

• MikaelNov 3, 2006

  Hi! Guestbook generator works great on k2. Now i just wonder how to get my rumwall guestbook greetings into this guestbook?

• ChrisNov 4, 2006

  regards Comment 49, the webhost said to set the dir permissions to 777. I did but still not work. What directories are the files written to?

• AndrewNov 4, 2006

  @Mikael, I'm not familiar with the way the Rumwall plugin works. :( Sorry. @Chris: Yes, you might have to chmod the theme folder to 777. The files are written to the active theme folder. So in your case, /barnes/wp-content/themes/default/. Tell me how it goes.

• adhisimonNov 8, 2006

  Great. Simple plugin that I will recommend to all of my friends as a replacement for friendster testimony \o/

• amituoNov 9, 2006

  Hi andrew, l have upload only the guestbook_generator.php &amp; guestbook_utility.php file to the plugins folder. But l can't see the plug-in in the Plugin Management? why? thanks

• zahidNov 14, 2006

  amituo: you have to upload the folder too or you can create a folder named "guestbook-generator" in your plugins directory and then upload the files you extracted to the folder. It is a great plugin, KUDOS!

• amituoNov 14, 2006

  Thanks for reply zahid, anyone can help me out, l have sucessful upload the plug-in. l have activate the plug-in, then when l go to Options ,it apear General, Writing, Reading, Discussion, Permalinks, Miscellaneous , then what? how to run, that's no guest book appear. (http://www.amtfweb.org/wordpress/) thanks

• amituoNov 14, 2006

  l mean when l go to Go to Options &gt; that's no such a word call Guestbook Generator to create my guestbook. thanks

• AndrewNov 15, 2006

  @amituo: What version of Wordpress are you using? The link should appear under Options. Hmmm. This puzzles me.

• amituoNov 16, 2006

  hi andrew, l am using WordPress (Version 2.0.5), l can see Guestbook Generator plug-in in Plugin Management, but l have activated it , and go to click on Options &gt; no such word Guestbook Generator appear. it only appear the word listed General, Writing, Reading, Discussion, Permalinks, Miscellaneous. thanks

• MichelleNov 20, 2006

  Is there anyway to make the guestbook work so that the comments do not require moderation?

• ronNov 21, 2006

  Hi Andrew, Am getting such error: Guestbook Generator Warning: chmod(): Operation not permitted in /home/seminary/public_html/hass/wpress/wp-content/plugins/guestbook-generator/guestbook_utility.php on line 26 Warning: fputs(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/seminary/public_html/hass/wpress/wp-content/plugins/guestbook-generator/guestbook_utility.php on line 44 Warning: fputs(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/seminary/public_html/hass/wpress/wp-content/plugins/guestbook-generator/guestbook_utility.php on line 48 Can you help?

• CNov 22, 2006

  'Theme folder was not chmoded to 777!' I am able to activate the plugins however this still occurs and i cant get it to run. The problem with the installer guide here is the CHMODing intructions. CHMODing instructions should be provided otherwise, the process can be very annoying.

• AndrewNov 22, 2006

  @ron & C: Sorry about the chmod problems. Please download the non-chmod version of this plugin.

• CNov 23, 2006

  Ok, the non-chmod version did produce the problems like @ron. It was unable to create the guestbook.php and guestcomments.php. I am using the default theme btw. By default when installing wordpress (2.0.5), folders was 755 and files are 644. In anycase, to solve the problem , i had to manually create by doing as follows (copy and rename, NOT RENAMING ONLY): single.php &gt; guestbook.php comments.php &gt; guestcomments.php Only after that i was able to add a few tips for configuration in your demonstration posts like adding the 'template' function, etc... inside the guestbook.php This solves the problem :) You tried your best explaining them. Thank you so much. This guestbook works fine. Thanks also for the super-quick reply.

• iaedyeneDec 3, 2006

  Hi I tried using your plugin to create a guest book for my wedding site. I'm using the Daisy Rae Gemni theme but when I went to generate the guestbook I got an error of "The required template files were not found in your current theme. Guestbook cannot be generated." Do you happen to have any what could be causing the confliction? I'm not savy on this kinda stuff. Thank you.

• AndrewDec 4, 2006

  @C: I'm glad that it worked out for you even though the plugin didn't work on your server. Some servers set restrictions with regards to file access and permissions, which may cause problems for my plugin since it requires both. @iaedyene: I checked your theme. It doesn't have the required single.php file. Try copying index.php and renaming it as single.php then upload it to the theme folder. Run the plugin and see if a guestbook is created.

• oviziiDec 13, 2006

  hello, I would like to use this plugin with wpmu instead of wp but here, it does not publish what it creates, leaves like drafts and does not create guestpage but guestpost :-) wpmu is based upon wordpress 2.1 could you have a look at this?

• AndrewDec 13, 2006

  @Ovizii: Please take a look at the Wordpress 2.1 version found above and tell me how it goes. I *hope* that will solve your problem.

• oviziiDec 15, 2006

  looks good now :-) thx. couldn't find any problems so far...

• MartinDec 18, 2006

  Hi! Tanks for this greate plug-in!! The RSS-feed for the guestbook page does not seem to work in my case. Any idea on how to fix this? My guestbook: http://hosolsen.com/oytun01/?page_id=3 My guestbook feed: http://hosolsen.com/oytun01/?feed=rss2&amp;p=3 The page is in norwegian...

• MemDec 22, 2006

  I added it to my site and activated etc but this is all I get http://www.mouthwateringmunchies.com/?page_id=1799

• MemDec 22, 2006

  Never mind I figured out what it was. Thanks for the plugin but I could have just made a post and named it guestbook to have the same thing. Will keep searching for something different. (Unless it was just the way my theme is set out).

• PeterJan 1, 2007

  Great instructions, but have you any advice for paging the guestbook / comments / entries ???? I have in excess of 200 entries, and it makes the page a bit large !!!

• ChrisJan 5, 2007

  I tried installing your plugin and i got a bunch of run errors when i went to generate the guest book. It ended up creating a guest book, but then there was no way to "Sign" it. Could you help?

• MikaelJan 7, 2007

  As Peter said, with a lot of entries, paging possibility would be highly appreciated.

• MichielJan 15, 2007

  It also said that I was missing the “single.php” file, but Y’s solution worked just fine (copying the index.php file.). I was just wondering if it’s possible to remove the numbering of the comments/entries. Or to turn them around, so that the latest entry get’s the highest entry-number.

• MikeJan 16, 2007

  I would like to use this plugin with wpmu instead of wp but here, it does not publish what it creates, leaves like drafts and does not create guestpage but guestpost

• AndrewJan 17, 2007

  @Mikael: I'll work on the paging feature soon. @Michiel: I'll see what I can do. @Mike: Hmm. I thought I solved this already. Btw... What's with your names? They're all so similar!

• KaiJan 19, 2007

  Can this plug-in split the comments into pages, like 10 or 20 entries per page. Thanks!

• KaiJan 20, 2007

  Hi Andrew, thanks for this plug-in, I got my Guestbook running now. But I have a question, which file should I edit to get the guestbook looks nicer such like yours? Thanks!

• StéphaneJan 24, 2007

  Merci pour ce plugin! Thank you for this nice plugin.

• MaryMcMichaelsJan 24, 2007

  Hello, Just wanted to say Hi and let you know that I really like your site. It's way way waycool!! Keep up the great work Mary M.

• LumpyJan 29, 2007

  Simply will not work. I'm running WP 2.1 and K2 0.9.5 RC1 no matter what this will not work. I've tried all the versions. Regular, 2.1 beta, and non-chmod. Simply fails and I get that error on line 26. Any thoughts?

• AndrewJan 29, 2007

  @All: The paging feature is surely on my to-do list. Guestbook Generator is now compatible with Wordpress 2.1. Check above for some details. If you plan on totally upgrading to 2.1, PLEASE check all your plugins for compatibility, or else you'll end up with a lot of frustration.

• LumpyJan 29, 2007

  Well, seems to work now, but I still get the following error when generating the guestbook: public_html/wp-content/plugins/guestbook-generator/guestbook_utility.php on line 26 Theme folder was not chmoded to 777!

• NormenJan 30, 2007

  Hi Andrew, My sidebar does not appear while using the automatically generated (v0.7) guestbook template. For an example take a look at http://www.wizza.nl/content/guestbook/ any ideas? thanks in advance for your time and keep up the good work!

• AndrewJan 30, 2007

  Hi Normen, thanks for using my plugin! Anyway, I checked your site and the plugin looks to have done its job. The reason why the sidebar doesn't appear is because the guestbook template is based on your single.php file. I'm guessing you wanted it to be like your About page, right? Well, here's the problem. The plugin used to be based on the page.php template, however, many theme creators remove the ability to leave comments on it, so many people complained since it is a guestbook and no one can sign it. So I switched it to the single.php file instead. You may want to edit guestbook.php and insert the sidebar from there. Sorry for the inconvenience.

• NormenJan 30, 2007

  Andrew, Cheers for your fast response. I've managed to hack the sidebar into my guestbook.php file. Thanks for helping me out :)

• zahidJan 31, 2007

  I would appreciate if you could help me figure how to stop the spam that i get daily with this guestbook. Is there some kind of a hack?

• MeyFeb 6, 2007

  Hi, I have installed your plugin but I can only get it to partially work. I had removed the from my template as I didn't want the website to work as a blog but more like a CMS. Obviously your plugin is based on the wordpress comments system so I decided to put that code back in. However not to disrupt the rest of the site i have put it directly into "guestbook.php". However the guestbook is only half working because 1. The comments appear straight away even though an email is sent to the admin to moderate the comment. 2. Until a comment has been moderated it is not included in the comments count at the top of the page. 3. When a comment is approved it sends out an email to the admin saying that their is a new comment on the guestbook. 4. The date for each comment is incomplete I am using Guestbook Generator 0.7 and Wordpress 2.0.4 I have been going round in circles for the last couple of days, so I was wondering if you could be so kind as to point me in the right direction. To test my guestbook click on my name above this post. Thanks :)

• MeyFeb 6, 2007

  the code I added (automatically removed on your blog so i have simply added it below with PHP rather than the php tags) was PHP comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template PHP

• MeyFeb 6, 2007

  I have upgraded to Wordpress 2.1 and the guestbook Generator V0.8 Their have been some improvements i.e. the order of appearance is correct, but the full dates are still not showing and the comments are appearing before being moderated.

• AndrewFeb 6, 2007

  Hi Mey, sorry about your troubles. I'll investigate your problem tomorrow (it's 230am -- zZzZz). And if possible, email me your active theme folder (andrew [@] alleba.com). I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

• TracyFeb 7, 2007

  This is a great plug in...it was so easy to install. I can't wait til you get the paging system in place though. Maybe 10 posts per page or something? As it is now, if someone wants to sign mine they have to scroll down past over 100 posts to get to the entry box. Maybe even put the entrie box above the posts? I don't know if that is even possible. Thanks for your great work!

• JesseFeb 9, 2007

  I look forward to using this. I'm just checking to see if its moderated?

• WayneFeb 20, 2007

  I want to know how to remove the plugin totally? I deactive it but the guestbook link(http://zecharyw.com/blog/guestbook/) still appear. how to remove the link

• AndrewFeb 20, 2007

  Go to Admin Panel > Manage > Pages and delete the page called Guestbook.

• fishMar 3, 2007

  sorry to bother. but after i have installed the GB, the whole comment system (including the GB comment system of course) doesn't work anymore. when i submit new post, the following message appears: The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@blog.fishonthehill.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache/1.3.36 Server at blog.fishonthehill.com Port 80 PLEASE SUGGEST WHAT I CAN DO TO MAKE IT WORK AGAIN, THANX!!!!!!

• Dee Dee WarrenMar 17, 2007

  Hi, it is necessary to change this from the older version - it is no problem for me to do so, I have no guest comments yet as I have been dormant for a while, but wanted to know if it was recommended to change it.

• Rasmus ThraneMar 19, 2007

  Hey I'm about to open my wordpress site. And i want to add your guestbook. But when i go to options/guestbook generator i cannot generate the guestbook. These lines appears: Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Operation not permitted in /www/rasmusthrane.com/wp-content/plugins/guestbook_utility.php on line 26 Warning: fputs(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /www/rasmusthrane.com/wp-content/plugins/guestbook_utility.php on line 44 Warning: fputs(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /www/rasmusthrane.com/wp-content/plugins/guestbook_utility.php on line 48 What am i doing wrong? Best regards Rasmus

• AndrewMar 19, 2007

  @Rasmus: You're not doing anything wrong. It's a problem with your webhost. Ask them about fopen() if they allow it.

• Rasmus ThraneMar 20, 2007

  Okay! Do do they check if they allow foben()?

• peterMar 20, 2007

  hello! i have problems with the http://getk2.com/ theme, to you have any infos how i could fix it? regards peter

• peterMar 20, 2007

  i fixed it, the problem, i was logged in as admin, after logging out, everything works well! thank you for your good work! regards peter

• PeterMar 20, 2007

  hi! how can i move the sign my guestbook just befor the guestbook starts, not on the end of the entrys? regards peter

• GMar 20, 2007

  Congratulations on your being a finalist in the web awards! I'll give this a try. Thanks.

• AndrewMar 21, 2007

  @Peter: edit guestbook.php and look for "sign my guestbook". Cut and paste it anywhere you prefer.

• SebasMar 23, 2007

  I installed the plug in. After I used the index.php to make the single.php it worked... that's what I thought. Well, the page is created. But if I submit a comment I get a blank page! It's linked as /wp-comments-post.php, but it doens't do anything. Can anybody tell me what the problem is?

• AndrewMar 23, 2007

  @Sebas: What version of Wordpress are you using? My guess is that it's your (Wordpress) installation that is causing the problem. Try writing a normal post and comment on it to check.

• JMar 28, 2007

  Paging? I saw above you planned to work on it, any hope for a future release with paging?

• FraMar 31, 2007

  Hi, I have a theme without single.php, I copied this single.php file from the default theme to let the guestbook generator work, but then all my site take the default theme. Could you kindly suggest me how to create a single.php that let me mantain my theme while making guestbook be generated succesfully? Many thanks!

• FraMar 31, 2007

  I also tried to copy index.php into single.php but it seems that the guestbook can't see the css of my theme

• MarcMar 31, 2007

  Hej thanks a lot, if you add the "paging" would be perfect. Thanks!

• Jehzeel LaurenteApr 3, 2007

  wow nice guestbook! weeeeeeeeeee!!

• adriaanApr 6, 2007

  Hi there, Everything goes fine... until i click on the link 'view my guestbook' and then i get: Not Found Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here. any idea what can be wrong?

• GreyApr 10, 2007

  I'm facing the same problems like #119 with your script. Wordpress is saying that the post cannot be found: http://www.couch-fiction.org/wordpress/?p=553 I cannot figure out why it isn't working, the Guestbook Post #553 exists in the "manage" list - you even can see the page title when browsing ?p=553 I hope there aren't that many grammar mistakes in here :) greetings

• JennieApr 18, 2007

  Love this script but dying for the "paging" feature... Any idea of when yet?

• FredApr 19, 2007

  Lovely. I think I'll start a 'three word story' thing on my blog. Works like a charm, thank you!

• TwolaneApr 27, 2007

  Very nice. Now, how do I delete it all?

• TwolaneApr 27, 2007

  Ah. Never mind. I figured out that I had to delete the actual guestbook page in the Dashboard / Manage / Pages.

• EricaMay 1, 2007

  I installed the plugin and it seems to work fine except that it is using the template from single.php (my blog entry template) instead of page.php (my pages template). Is there any way to change that? (http://haecceity.nu/blog/guestbook)

• EricaMay 1, 2007

  Nevermind, I figured it out.

• HelmutMay 20, 2007

  Great plugin, i like it! But please add paging, then the plugin will be perfect!

• RobinMay 22, 2007

  This plugin worked for a previous theme but when I switched it's now coming up with errors that look similar to this: Warning: fputs(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/roadless/public_html/everlong/wp-content/plugins/guestbook_utility.php

• SergioMay 28, 2007

  I have found this plugin that add the paging feature to all the pages in WordPress based blog. http://www.keyvan.net/code/paged-comments/ I have installed it on my WP blog (2.1.2), but it don't work only in your guestbook pages.

• HelmutJun 2, 2007

  I tried it, but it doesn't work with the guestbokk. please just add it this function to the guestbook generator.

• iroelJun 13, 2007

  how to make order post ? so, the older comment at the end of list. I try to read some comment here, and i try to do. but no action, no change. I don't have current guestbook, i just use your guestbook. can you help me ?

• chomisekJun 13, 2007

  great GB, cant wait for paiging, thx

• stevenlichenJun 18, 2007

  Looking forward to the paged comments functionality.^_^

• Lars Bech NygardJun 22, 2007

  Hi, I installed the guestbook, via the generator, but I do not see any possibility, for users to leave a comment... What am I doing wrong ? I added the complete link to my guestbook.

• AndrewJun 22, 2007

  @Chomisek, Steve: The newest version now supports paging. @Iroel: The plugin already does that. @Lars: What version of the plugin are you using? And what Wordpress version too.

• SteffJul 5, 2007

  I installed the Guestbook as per the instructions given and everything was ok until I tried to access the Guestbook page. When I click on the page, it loads for a couple of seconds, then nothing happens and I stay on my site's main page. I'm using WordPress 2.2.1

• AndrewJul 5, 2007

  @Steff: Hey! I'm having trouble viewing all your pages. Could that be the issue? I'll look into it though.

• BramJul 8, 2007

  I installed the guestbook and I looks all fine but at the guestbook page it says:"Please sign my guestbook". But there's no option to sign, I tried the standard theme but it won't work on that either. Anyone knows what this could be?

• nqduyJul 9, 2007

  i'm using wp 2.2.1 with theme. and the plugin said there's no required template file something. what should i do?

• CFDJul 10, 2007

  Hey.. used your previous version on WP 1.5. I upgraded to WP2.2.1. I removed the previous version of guestbook generator and downloaded version0.7. I still have the previous guestbook page which I don't want to lose. I activated 0.7 and went to options and followed the directions. It says I don't have the template necessary to create the guestbook page. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this? The guestbook is a favorite of the website owner. Thanks

• finnspapaJul 18, 2007

  When generating a guestbook I get the following error any ideas what I need to do?: Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Operation not permitted in /home/amazingf/public_html/wp-content/plugins/guestbook-generator/guestbook_utility.php on line 26 Theme folder was not chmoded to 777!

• MartinoJul 18, 2007

  Very useful plugin. Thanks for it.

• KamenJul 20, 2007

  I used your guestbook plugin to generate an RSVP "book" for our wedding site. Nice work! Long story short, I want to make another "guestbook", but for people to leave "a bit o' wisdom" if you will. My problem is that I can only seem to make one guestbook and I need two. Any ideas?

• ovidiuJul 24, 2007

  I got this error after activating, and I also activated the paged comments plugin, but when viewing my guestbook I get an error: Published: Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /var/www/web45/web/wp-content/plugins/paged-comments/paged-comments.php(87) : eval()'d code on line 23 any ideas? the page was created just fine, no errors at all. do I have to set certain settigns for paged comments plugin? I just installed and activated.

• ovidiuJul 29, 2007

  I temporarily fixed the problem by commentig this section from the paged comments plugin: //if (strpos($file_contents, 'paged_comments_template()') === false) { // set_include_path(TEMPLATEPATH); //$file_contents = str_replace('comments_template()', 'paged_comments_template()', $file_contents); //$file_contents = str_replace(''.trim($file_contents)); // restore_include_path(); //exit; //} but I have no clue what exactly I did there - could I leave it like that?

• ChrisAug 2, 2007

  Wonderful plugin. However, I wish to sort the entries newest first. Where to insert the DESC into the SQL query? Keep up the excellent work!

• IlliAug 11, 2007

  how i can do to automoderate the comments? i don't want moderate.. :S

• shekarAug 12, 2007

  why does my visitor have to be signed-in to my blog in order to sign the guestbook? Is there a setting I can change?

• Derek HugheyAug 18, 2007

  Using this plugin, I've created a page for readers to recommend places for my wife and I to visit on our around the world trip. See "Recommend Something" at www.oneyearonearth.com. I want to create another page using the plugin for guests to post comments/questions. How do I create another "guestbook" without messing up the first one? Thanks, Derek

• ebtaAug 20, 2007

  Nice plugins, thanks. But how to split the page into sub pages ? or just display 10-15 comment per pages ?

• Henrik BuchwaldAug 29, 2007

  Hi. I am running WP 2.05 and I try to install GG version 0.7 When I try to generate GG I get this error: Warning: gg_options_page(): Unable to access guestbook_utility.php in guestbook_generator.php on line 43 Warning: gg_options_page(guestbook_utility.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in guestbook_generator.php on line 43 Fatal error: Call to undefined function: generate_guestbook() in guestbook_generator.php on line 44 Can you help me???

• MillyAug 30, 2007

  This plugin completely messed up my theme (Mandigo) and therefor the whole site. Deactivating and deleting the plugin(-files) did not restore things to as they were. Which files are changed by the plugin setup?

• AndrewAug 30, 2007

  @Illi, Shekar: Go to Admin Panel > General Options and uncheck "Users must be registered and logged in to comment". @Henrik: Please be sure that the file guestbook_utility.php is in the same folder as guestbook_generator.php. @Milly: The plugin creates two new files, but doesn't change anything else. It appears that your css file went missing. Try to reupload that, and I'm sure your theme will go back to normal.

• MillyAug 30, 2007

  Thanks for your prompt reply. I don't know what happened. I only activated the plugin and whoops..! As far as I could see, all css files were present. I have now reloaded the entire theme.

• Alan BleiweissSep 5, 2007

  Just installed your Guestbook plugin after installing the comment page plugin like you require. I now have a guestbook bot there's no way for people to comment! There's no comment fields! HELP PLEASE - brand new blog and I need this working...

• Alan BleiweissSep 5, 2007

  RESOLVED! It turned out my theme didn't have the right PHP code in it to activate comments on pages. I found the solution at http://wordpress.org/support/topic/119538

• RobOct 12, 2007

  Hi... First, thanks for this plugin! I'm running FB 2.3 and GB 1.0 and just have a quick question. I'm trying to clean it up a bit; at the top of my screen where it says "Please sign my guestbook and the link to your page" under that it has: This entry was posted on Friday, October 12th, 2007 at 3:10 pm and is filed under Site News. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site. I can't seem to find where that comment is posted to remove it. Can you shed some light? Thanks! --rob

• RobOct 12, 2007

  NM, I located it in the guestbook.php file. Thanks! One more for you, anyone can leave a message, but it still comes up in my admin panel to be approved... any way to bypass this? Thanks! --rob

• JerryOct 18, 2007

  I am really looking forward to getting the GuestBook plugin functioning on this website. My WordPress is version 2.3. I have the PagedComments plugin installed and configured properly. I am using version 0.9 of GuestBook Generator. It appears to create the page properly (no error messages). But when I create a guestbook entry the page never refreshes. Going back with the browser and refreshing shows that no guestbook entry has been made. Suggestions?

• toddOct 31, 2007

  I have been using the guestbook generated by your plugin for a while now. I just noticed today that after the 11th guestbook comment was made by somebody on my blog, it stopped displaying the previous entries. They're still there in the comments, but stopped being displayed. I did recently upgrade to 2.3.1, but don't know if that is what broke it. Any suggestions? Thanks for the code, and any suggestions!

• toddOct 31, 2007

  sorry.. nevermind my question.. figured out it has to do with paged comments..

• MaartenNov 25, 2007

  Hi Thanks for your great plugin, but is there a way to let everybody post a message on the guestbook, while having the option that only members can comment? (I would like everybody be able to sign the guestbook, but not to comment on everything)

• HenningNov 26, 2007

  Hi, Great plugin! But does Guestbook Generator support any other languages than english? If not, do you have any suggestions where, or how, to begin changing the plugin to support other languages. Any ideas when, in the future, the plugin might support other languages? Thanks!

• Joakim WestinDec 12, 2007

  I'm using WordPress MU (based on WP 2.x) and when I try to use the guestbook Generator plugin it says: Warning: Guestbook Generator v0.8 is compatible with Wordpress 2.1 and above. Please visit this page to download v0.7 for older versions of Wordpress. Has anyone gotten this plugin to work with Wordpress MU? Cheers, Joakim

• AndrewDec 12, 2007

  @Rob: Hi Rob. Go to Options>Discussion and uncheck "An administrator must always approve the comment" @Jerry: Try to edit the guestbook by going to Manage>Pages. Under discussion, see if "Allow Comments" is checked. @Maarten: Not sure what you want, but try going to Options and check "Users must be registered and logged in to comment". @Henning: Sorry, no support for other languages at the moment. What you can do is generate the guestbook and customize it under Manage>Pages. @Joakim: Sorry, the plugin doesn't support Wordpress MU.

• JimDec 12, 2007

  I just noticed how you can break up guestbook comments into pages, so I installed the paged-comments plugin but all my guestbook comments are still being displayed on one page. Does this only work with the those themes in the "themes" folder of the plugin? Do I have to regenerate the guestbook? Will thise delete existing comments? So many questions ... My guestbook is here... <a href="http://www.tripawds.com/guestbook" rel="nofollow">www.tripawds.com/guestbook</a> Thanks!

• Jon GriffithMar 9, 2008

  I too am having a problem with the redirection page. When I post a comment on the guestbook page, it posts to the database and enters moderation, but the user sees a blank result page. This only happens if I am not logged in as a user or admin user. If I am logged in, I am redirected back to the guestbook page. Any ideas?

• MixaMar 10, 2008

  Hello! I had a small problem with Guestbook Generator Plugin. All was good at first, but when comments were divided into a few pages, chronology became wrong. It is possible to look at it all right here: http://urbik.com.ua/?page_id=11 . I will be beholden for a help in the removal of this problem. Thank you!

I have Peter's Custom Anti-spam for my regular blog and it works great, but I can't get the antispam word to work in the guestbook. Any suggestions?

• JustinApr 4, 2008

• JohnJul 17, 2008

  Great plugin! Is it possible to open the links of the people who write in your guestbook in a new window (target=_blank)? It seems that you cannot change that in the guestbook.php and guestcomments.php files.

Have you planned to publish an update of your plugin during the next weeks? Kind regards, Jakob

  Thanks for the plugin. I've been using it for awhile now, but recently encountered a problem. When I upgraded to the latest version of Wordpress my old Guestbook page and all of its comments (entries in the guestbook) were missing. Those were years if accummulated entries. Do I just have to start over, or is that page with the comments buried somewhere in my database and retrievable?

• TorFeb 15, 2009

  As said in your general guestbook, it works like a charm on WP 2.7.1... but one question: Is there some simple way (I guess you would have to edit the "core" files of WP) to turn the reply function off? As for now, it is possible for anyone to reply to others posts, I guess this is inherited from WP's general settings... but this isn't a usual functionality in a guestbook :-)

  Hi Andrew, I would like to use your Guestbook Generator plugin on my website, ajharbison.com. I would like to modify the fields of the guestbook, and I see where they are in the guestcomments.php file; but on the actual guestbook page, they don't appear--there's only one big text box marked "Guestbook Entries:". The text "submit guestbook entry" also runs far too big for the submit button beneath the guestbook. Can you tell me 1) how to get the fields (name, email, site, etc.) to show up on the guestbook page, and 2) how to expand the button to fit the "submit guestbook entry" text? Thank you! Sincerely, AJ Harbison

  I added the Guestbook but when someone signs the guestbook they get 404 - PAGE NOT FOUND error if you go back to the guestbook page the message was posted but still get error message which will probably cause people to double/triple post same messages...

  Hello there, I believe I installed your Guestbook on my website and accidentally deleted the plugin. The Guestbook was fantastic and did what I wanted, I have tried on numerous occassions to re-install the plugin and start again, but nothing is being displayed on the page and it keeps brining up statements saying things already exist. For example: Guestbook Template Already Exists! Guestbook Comments Template Already Exists! Guestbook Page Already Exists! I have deleted the Guestbook page, removed guetbook.php and guestcomments.php from the directory and deleted the plugin from the wp admin panel - then downloaded the plugin again and tried to generate another guestbook - but I keep getting stuck. I am relatively new at WP and would appreciate a minute of your time to help me on this matter. If you can, please converse with me via my email address at davidbowen1@yahoo.co.uk. Thank you for your time. Kind regards, Dave

  Hi, This Guestbook seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. I need to enter the details from a previous Guestbook, into this one. I'm happy doing this, but then the dates, etc. will be incorrect. Is there a way to amend this once it's been input? Thanks, Spencer

  How do I change the automatic category that the guestbook uses? I have changed all general settings to automatically use "guestbook" as the category, but it's still using "events". ThankS!

  Hi Friedrich, Open up guestcomments.php in your theme editor and look for this line: foreach ($comments as $comment) change it to: foreach (array_reverse($comments) as $comment)

• ScooterSchalkSep 3, 2010

  Hi, I installed this plugin on a previous blog, just fine, thanks!! I just installed it on another blog, but i'm missing something, can't get to add comments / entries? The page allows comments, and the all the files, single.php. comments.php guestbook.php and guestcomments.php are present. The plugin said that it generated the files successfully, and cmmoded it to 777? This is the site: http://www.scootdr.co.za/guestbook/ Many thanks

• MadVelvetSep 6, 2010

  Great plugin, I have a couple of issues though: 1) It is adding a small link that takes people back to one of the filmography pages, I have no idea why it's picking that up, since it is not hard coded into and phpfiles. 2) I also have turned off comments on pages but this one is generating that and I want it off. Can you help me? Please. Thanks

• SorenSep 10, 2010

  Hi Andrew Have a problem with your Guestbook plugin, is shows on the web page in the menu, but the page does not exist in the "pages list" ..... even if I uninstall the plugin the menu item "GUESTBOOK" is still there .... help please

• AndrewSep 10, 2010

  @Soren: You will have to delete the page manually. Go to Admin and click on Pages. @Madvelvet: I checked your site and saw no problem. Have you solved it?

• SorenSep 11, 2010

  @Soren: You will have to delete the page manually. Go to Admin and click on Pages. Thats exactly the problem, the page "guestbook" does not exist in the admin pages!! And even if I try creating a page named "guestbook" it aoutmatically gets named "guestbook-2"

• pixeltodOct 9, 2010

  hey there, GREAT PLUGIN! ..but how can I disable the comment moderation (approval of first time comments) for comments posted in the guestbook, while leaving it enabled for the usual wordpress comments? regards

• Ruth MaudeOct 31, 2010

  Thanks for this great plugin. I was just trying to figure out how to change the order of the comments and I found the answer. I thought I would post it here for everyone else who is asking the same question... In WP 3 go to Discussion Settings and change Comments should be displayed with the OLDER comments at the top of each page to be NEWER Done
