WordPress: Custom Plugin Widget Issue

[KKHAN]

Hi,

I followed a tutorial to create a custom plugin which when activated allows me to add a custom widget to my side bar.

The custom widget uses the wordpress DB to get some information and present it. It works fine locally, but.. now that i have put the wordpress site live, the functionality has stopped working.

The Widget displays fine alongside all the styling. From what i can gather just information taken from the DB isn’t being returned, this is why i think its a DB issue.

Here is the plugin: Plugin

There is really not much to it.

Any ideas come to mind immediately?

I’ve just tried to var_dump($months) and i get this array(0) { } so yea it seems like it cnt connect to the DB.

“and post_date <= now()”

This was returning 0 rows, once removed i was getting the information. I am not quite sure what implication it will have though, i guess i will have to wait and see.

post_date <= now()

What that is saying is if the post_date is older or equal to current date/time.

haha, ye i understand what the code is saying. I just don’t know why that was causing the issue. I didint have any posts which were dated wrongly. So it was a bit confusing
