Awesome! Glad it works now. Of course, this post comes up as the #1 recommendation for me with these others including:

- Web Programming: Data Portability – Gnip & OpenSocial
- Amazon.com unbox – watch now: Instant video streaming is coming to PC and Mac
- Mashup Editors Everywhere – Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, Intel

Very relevant!

Ian, Thanks for all your help and for the help from your engineers!
Here is what I did: I had the read access not correctly set for your ../includes/ dir. After enabling read access it works perfectly now.
I have your plug-in in the “normal” plug-in dir, no change to my htaccess was necessary.

Glad it works now, thanks again!

Hi Marco,

One of our engineers noticed a couple of things.

WPMU has its own directory for plug-ins (/wp-content/mu-plugins). Just for You doesn’t work unless it’s intalled in the standard WP plug-in directory (/wp-content/plugins).

The default wordpress installation has a rewrite rule which disallows rewriting anything inside plugins folder, this rewrite condition may not be present in your install:

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.* RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks for checking out my blog and your advice, Ian. Will check it out tonight, really want to get it working! Love the idea behind it.
All I did is unzipping the archive into the plugins folder, though.

Hi,

I noticed that the plug-in wasn’t showing anything. I looks like you might have re-named the plug-in file so the plug-in script can’t find it.
