Number of problems with WordPress 3.0
With WP 3.0 release just around the corner, when can be updated HeadScape2 will be released? There are many problems I have noticed, but most important include: post edit page JavaScript fully broken preventing any jQuery code to run, integration in the meta boxes also broken, no support for custom post types and taxonomies.
Right now plugin is not usable with new WP, and even with WP 2.9.2 there were problems. If this plugin is no longer developed, it would be good to see an announcement so we can move to another SEO plugin, because once WP 3.0 is released, Headspace can't be used safely with it.
Regards,
Milan

I'm having the same issue. The actual error causing the problem is:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'toLowerCase' of undefined /wp-content/plugins/headspace2/js/headspace-tags.js?ver=3.6.32:76
The line in question is
var words = $(get_tag_element ()).val ().toLowerCase ().split (',');
And the problem seems to be that the ID of the tags textarea has changed. You can fix this by replacing the get_tag_element() function with this one:
function get_tag_element () { if ($('#tax-input-post_tag').length == 1) return '#tax-input-post_tag'; else if ($('#tags-input').length == 1) return '#tags-input'; else if ($('#tax-input\[post_tag\]').length == 1) return '#tax-input\[post_tag\]'; }Posted 2 months ago by Member
Wow thanx!
Saved me some digging in the code. For me the solution worked perfectly.

I put the solution on a ticket too: http://urbangiraffe.com/tracker/issues/850
Hopefully he'll get it in soon (before 3.0 comes out).

Well, WP 3.0 is released, but Headspace2 is still not updated, and to make things worse, more problems surfaced with JavaScript with latest pre-final builds of WP. Major JS changes are required here.

Milan: What are the new problems you found?
Posted 2 months ago by Member
I'm having issues w/ AJAX in the post/page editor. Most (not all) of the JS functionality is just missing - you can't edit or add tags, change the post slug, add or delete meta info, and so on. Some of the sidebar menus still work, but intermittently.
The code change above didn't seem to make any difference at all. I was using the RC until earlier, when I updated to the full release. This is happening on two different WP installs, and disabling Headspace is the only way to reliably create or edit posts.

On the officially release WP 3.0 the fix above still works fine for me. You will need to make sure that you clear your cache so that your browser grabs the latest copy of this JS file.

Cool, now it's working. It's the little things I always forget.

Thanks to the code of Aaaron that problem was solved. Another thing I noticed is that the boxes for adding a custom meta description, title etc. are not showing up on the category pages anymore. I just see the regular name, slug, parent and description fields but all other input fields have disappeared.
Are there more people with this problem and does anyone has a solution for this?

Thank you so much for the code Aaron that worked perfect. I am also having the same issue that Rik just mentioned.

Headspace is a great plug-in and the above code helped fix a number of issues in Wordpress 3. However, I can't seem to use any caching plug-in with Headspace activated. I've tried W3 Total Cache and WP Super Cache and as soon as the plug-in is activated, I get a blank screen on the admin page.
I used WP Super Cache with Headspace for the last year with no issues, but as soon as I upgraded to WP 3 it stopped working. If I disable Headspace, everything works fine again. I went through the plug-ins one-by-one and there are no other conflicts.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks
Jim

I also have this problem http://urbangiraffe.com/tracker/issues/856 with Headspace 2 and Wordpress 3.0 do you have any tips to solve it ?
Posted 2 months ago by Member
Right now main problem is that post edit page is broken if the Headspace2 is active: none of the jQuery code is working on this page, until I deactivate Headspace2. I tried to disable tags integration in Headspcae2, but that's not enough, only full plugin deactivation solves the problem. Also, there are several problems with custom post types and generated meta tags, where from time to time Headspace2 throws errors.

Verry annoying, i have same problem as Milan described. The code Aaron posted earlier works fine, thanks!

Milan: Did you try the code that I posted above? For me it's fixed this issue in every 3.0 install I have.

@Aaron
I applied your recommendation but still not fixed..
but I've read another solution on wordpres.org support forums.. http://wordpress.org/support/topic/411432?replies=10
applied it and now ajax works fine in post-page editor..

Thank you for providing the code to fix the issue with headspace and wp 3.0
Unfortunately I do not understand what to replace
Please excuse my ignorance
Can you be more specific about where I should go ( ok you can tell me where to go if you want to ) and exactly what I am replacing?

@Aaron: The only good solution is to prevent Headspace to load anything on the edit page. I manually changed few things in the plugin to make that work. I will wait for new version before starting using that again.
Also, even when in Headspace I disable some tags related options and Yahoo Suggestions is gone from meta box, Headspace still loads JS files. This should be improved in next release and option to disable meta box integration more obvious to find and disable/enable. Right now I think that this is not intuitive enough.

Aaron Campbell's fix worked for me too - running Wordpress 3.0 on Windows IIS. Any word on when a plugin update with this patch will be released?
Posted 2 months ago by Member
Scratch that - the issue resurfaced. I disabled the Tags according to LOG1C's instructions on this page: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/411432?replies=14 and that seems to have fixed it for now.

I want to report more problems with HS2 and WP3: On the site http://ChangeAustin.org, it interfered with the plugin by Alex Tingle called Event Calendar AND, in the Edit Post pages, Screen Options and Help boxes in the upper right no longer work, AND none of the sections would toggle closed. When I deactivated all the plugins, activated the Event Calendar and THEN all the other plugins, the Event Calendar once again did work--but the problems returned with the Edit Post pages: the Screen Options and Help boxes in the upper right no longer work, AND none of the sections would toggle closed.
These problems returned after I had reactivated all the plugins, so I again deactivated
them all to figure out which was causing the problem. It turned out to be
Headspace2 (which I've been using on many sites). It is clearly HS2 plugin that
causes the toggle/Screen Options/Help problem on this site--but on another site on the same host, it isn't causing such problems. I really want to keep using HS2 on this site and hope someone can offer a suggestion.

I've just had a new issue pop up.
Aaron's code-fix sorted me initially. However I noticed that on one of my sites, the meta description wasn't showing up properly. I edited a few of the settings on the page modules for Global, Home, Post, and Page. As soon as I did this, the post/page editor decided to stop wrapping text in paragraph tags. This happens on all posts, with or without editing, and with both the visual and HTML-only editor.
After this glitch, the only way any post will display correctly is to deactivate Headspace.

Disregard that last post. That's not a glitch, that was me doing something stupid.

I've released version 3.6.33 which should take care of most of these problems.

Thanks, this fixed the problems I had with the plugin and WP 3.0.

Hi John, thanks for your update. I've installed the latest version and everything is working fine again on my WP 3.0 install.
Very glad things are working again because HeadSpace2 is my favorit SEO-plugin!
Thanks a lot and keep going on with your great work :)

Hi John, I was too early with my previous message. In the 'edit category' area I do have the HeadSpace2 boxes now where I can add title, description and keywords.
When I enter these fields and hit the save changes button all information I have entered is gone. It seems HS2 doesn't save the information in the categories section. For posts it works though.
Hope you can fix this because optimizing the categories is the most useful part of the HS2 plugin for me. Thamks in advance!

Thank you John for the best seo plugin for Wordpress.
Hope you can make a fully WP3 compatible version. Thank you again for your effort.

Hello John,
I have problem with saving the Headspace 3.6.33 in "Edit Category" page (wordpress 3). It just doesn't want to save the settings. I only enable Page Title, Keywords and Description.
