Wordpress

If you have a PHP configured with some open_basedir restriction (which is recommended), the WP-Codebox plugin will prevent you from exporting the posts of your blog.

So in the wp-codebox.php file, you have to put this : add_action('wp_print_scripts', 'Codebox_ScriptsAction'); function Codebox_ScriptsAction () { $cb_path = get_bloginfo('wpurl') ....
