Could you provide a link of it not working?

Cheers

I don't see a ; after $cat=30 if that helps. Also if it was working and now it's not then something changed, so what changed? Did you upgrade or perhaps add a blog? Or ... ?something? that happened right before it stopped working?

Sorry this is such a late reply. Below is what I have in the a_stub.php file, and it's not working. I thought it was working before, but that was only because I had manually changed the date in the post itself.

<?php
$cat=2;
$blog=2;
require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/conf/_config.php';
require $inc_path.'_blog_main.inc.php';
?>
