Issue with the DiggClick Plugin.
I recently installed the DiggClick plugin. Although it is a great plugin I’ve noticed a small issue with it. When someone Diggs your post and they aren’t on the actual post page, the plugin gets befuddled.
Example, if the Digger is viewing the following URL (http://digg.com/view/technology/upcoming) when they Digg your post, the plugin will get befuddled and display an error message where the “DiggIt” button should be.
Note: If you are unfamiliar or uncomfortable working with a database you should not attempt this. Also make sure to backup the WordPress database in case anything really terrible happens.
In order to fix this issue you must first get the actual URL of your Digg post. It will look something like this: http://digg.com/mods/DiggClick. Next open your Wordpress database, using a tool such as PHPMyAdmin, then browse the “{blogname}_postmeta” table. Find the entry where the “meta-key” value is “DiggClick”. The “meta_value” column should contain an invalid URL. Change this value to be the actual value of your Digg post. Commit the changes then refresh your blog. The error should disappear.
The above needs to be done for every post with an error.
Another work around, that doesn’t require database hacking, is to navigate to your blog post from the digg post page. This will set the correct value in the “{blogname}_postmeta” table.
