I went into MySQL and manually set the field to unique, which exposed the duplicate entries when it threw an error. I deleted each dupe, and then was able to set it to unique.

After that, it works fine.

Answers to above questions:

#4 - You did not activate the plugin. Go into your admin panel, choose plugins, and click on the activate link to the right.

#6. I recommend against running Wordpress 2.0. The differences between it and Wordpress 1.5.3 are all klugey, bandwidth hogging nonsense that no one really needs.

#7. You don’t have to enter any values in the MySQL database. I’m sorry to be so blunt, but when you find yourself asking such basic questions, it means you are not technical enough to install and manage this plugin.

Everyone wants their blog to have cool gizmos on it. But most people really are not qualified to install them, fix them, or operate them. And installing something like this, if you cannot read the code, could create a huge security gap in your blog that you cannot close which allows a hacker to run wild. So, if you cannot read basic PHP code, just stay away from plugins like this one if you find yourself getting confused or stuck.

If you could email, I could send you a screen shot of what I’m messing with.

Thanks!
