    Hello all,

    I am having problems uploading photos from within EE so I decided to update to the current version. So I followed the instructions and seemed to successfully upgrade to 1.6.9 from 1.6.8.

    Now when visiting the blog I get an error message:
    Error
    The following tag has a syntax error:
    {exp:word_limit_plus}
    Please correct the syntax in your template.

    Here the link
    http://www.skirealestate.com/blog

    in my INDEX template I found the following code

    {exp:comment:entries sort="desc" orderby="date" limit="10" dynamic="off"}
    {exp:word_limit_plus if_exceeds="10" stop_after="9" the_link="<a >MORE…</a>“}
    {comment}
    {/exp:word_limit_plus}
    <p>By {name} on {comment_date format="%m/%d/%y"}
    
    From the entry '<a href="http://{comment_url_title_auto_path}">{title}</a>'.
    {/exp:comment:entries}

    How would I need to change that to make it work again?

    As I am not a power user of the system and the time when I configured it is years ago I need some help here. What has gone wrong or how did the syntax of the tag changed so I can correct the template.

    Thanks for your help
    Tobias


    UPDATE: Think I manage to wiggle myself out of this one: I looked at the plug ins installed via the Plug In Manager. Seems that there is a WordLimiter plug in but no longer the WordLimiterPlus. So I just changed the TAG to

    {exp:comment:entries sort="desc" orderby="date" limit="10" dynamic="off"}
    {exp:word_limit if_exceeds="10" stop_after="9" the_link="<a >MORE…</a>“}
    {comment}
    {/exp:word_limit}
    <p>By {name} on {comment_date format="%m/%d/%y"}
    
    From the entry '<a href="http://{comment_url_title_auto_path}">{title}</a>'.
    {/exp:comment:entries}

    All looks fine now.

    Hi Toby_Wan_Kenoby,

    You should be able to re-upload the WordLimiterPlus plugin to the system/plugins directory and change your template back if you wanted to do that. However, glad that you got this resolved. Please post back if you have further questions or problems.

    Cheers

    Greg
