[wp-testers] 2.5: Custom Fields and Listing Stuff

[Jennifer Hodgdon]

That is very strange. I have a 2.5 installation working with the 
following wp_list_pages and wp_list_categories calls (working 
correctly) in the theme:

	<?php 
wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1&include=6,5&sort_column=menu_order'); ?>
	<?php wp_list_categories('hide_empty=0&depth=1&exclude=1&title_li'); ?>

Possibly adding the hide_empty or depth parameters to your calls would 
help?
	
My 2.5 installation also is using custom field key/value pairs in both 
posts and pages, without any trouble, and using them for custom 
displays from a plugin without any trouble.

Anyway, I don't think it's the wp_list_pages and wp_list_categories 
functions in 2.5 that are the problem, or the key/value pairs in 2.5 
that are the problem. Have you tried using the default theme, just 
adding your wp_list_pages or wp_list_categories calls to the sidebar, 
to for sure eliminate any strange programming your theme might be 
doing? And do you really have *all* plugins disabled?

The only other difference is that it was a 2.5 bleeding installation 
originally, not a database upgrade from 2.1... you may have a bug 
there, but I cannot imagine how it would screw up the include/exclude 
of wp_list_pages or wp_list_categories.
