   Okay, I think I have a solution for you. To display all feed links for single page views for both feed links and autodiscovery links, follow these steps:

   1) In the main plugin file, locate the following code around line #274:

   if(is_single()) {
     create_category_feeds(get_the_category());
}

   Replace that block of code with this:

   if(is_single()) {
     // create_category_feeds(get_the_category());
     create_category_feeds();
}

   2) Then, locate this block of code, which is similar, but located around line #382:

   if(is_single()) {
     create_category_links(get_the_category());
}

   Replace that block of code with this:

   if(is_single()) {
     // create_category_links(get_the_category());
     create_category_links();
}

   And that should do it. Save, upload, and test accordingly. Let me know how it works! ;)

   Regards,
   Jeff

   Just wanted to say thanx for the plugin, works great for me! I am curious, would it be possible to have a single feed icon appear for an individual category when at that category main page, apart from the category list of feeds which I’ve put in my footer. Thanx again!

   Hi twincascos,

   Thanks for the feedback! As for displaying single feed links/icons for category views, you can set the following variable to FALSE:

   $catarchive = FALSE;

   Although it may not work as expected with WordPress 2.3 because of changes made to the database. I plan on resolving this issue with the next upgrade of the plugin.

   Hi.
   Database error…
   I want to use this plugin to give rss for my category podcasting.
   I am running latest 2.3 version of wp and the plugin podpress.
   Whenever I activate Category LiveBookmarks I get this message:

   WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'JOIN ON ( .term_id = .term_id ) WHERE .taxonomy = 'category' AND .term_' at line 2]
SELECT * FROM JOIN ON ( .term_id = .term_id ) WHERE .taxonomy = 'category' AND .term_id > 0 AND count > 0 AND parent = 0 ORDER BY .term_id ASC

   Any ideas?

   Thank you.
   Thor

   Hi thor, please double-check the version of WordPress that you are using. The site linked to via your name shows that it is running on WP 2.2. If this is the case, I recommend upgrading to the latest version! ;)

   Hi,
   Of course, you are right.
   I have just installed it at this site: http://bkk.soundpainters.org and I do not get the error.
   Thank you for pointing this out.

   However, I still do not get those nice rss feed icons to show up beside my category list in the sidebar.
   I have added code to the end of my themes style.css, but no luck so far.
   What I want is a nice icon beside each category to be able to subscribe directly to single categories.

   Here is the code I added:
   /* Category LiveBookmarks
/*
ul.clb_plus li {
background: url(http://soundpainters.org/feed-icon_orange-12px+.png) no-repeat left center;
padding-left: 13px;
}

   Thank you

   So close!! Try changing the second line in the code from “/*” to “*/” (without the quotes) ..reversing those two characters is a subtle difference that determines whether or not the opening CSS comment is closed. As is, the entire block of rules is “commented out” and thus invisible to the browser. Also, make sure that you have uploaded the actual feed icon to your server.

   Hi Perishable – awesome plugin. I noticed in the release notes that the latest version does not support subcategories? What is the procedure to enable this in the latest version? Thanks!

   Yes, that is correct, subcategories are excluded by default (as are empty categories). To enable subcategory inclusion, follow these steps (for CLB+ version 2.3):

   1. open CLB+ plugin file
   2. find and delete both (2) instances of “AND parent = 0” (without quotes)
   3. save changes, upload, and enjoy!

   Cheers,
   Jeff

    Hi Jeff,
    The plugin is presenting my categories, however each item (the rss icon, cat title and qty) are each presented on a separate line.

    The only mods I have made are to say true for qty and point to my choice of icon.

    I’d also like to order them alphabetically.

    Many thanks in advance!
    Sue

    Hi Sue,
    It is difficult to diagnose such an issue without an example to investigate. Do you happen to have a feed list showing anywhere on your site?
