Wordpress Toolbar Plugin and Wordpress Prefixes: A Fix

Posted by Chris

BandaidFirst of all, that’s an awesome plugin that will allow your visitors to have a look at external links while retaining the ability to comment locally on your blog. Get it!

Unfortunately, if you have modified your Wordpress database prefix, for instance because you are using Wordpress MU or the Virtual Module, the toolbar will fail to display.

Here is my very modest fix that will make it work.

1. Open wordpress-toolbar/toolbar.php

2. Find, near the top of the file:

?View Code PHP
$resultset = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM wp_options where option_name in ('wordpress_toolbar_social','wordpress_toolbar_excludedomains','wordpress_toolbar_skin','wordpress_toolbar_custom')");

Replace with:

?View Code PHP
$resultset = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM {$wpdb->options} where option_name in ('wordpress_toolbar_social','wordpress_toolbar_excludedomains','wordpress_toolbar_skin','wordpress_toolbar_custom')");

3. That’s it!

The reason is very technical: that’s because I’m stupid. I plan on doing things and then I forget. Of course I meant to post a comment, sorry about that.

@Eve Isk – Might be a one off thing, I was out on vacation and didn’t had any net access. :(
