Hi Adam, I'm short on time right at the moment and don't have time to look carefully through your situation, but I wanted to make a few quick comments.
1) BoltWire has gone through a good bit of development over the past year, and sometimes the plugins have not kept pace with changes in the code. Things have defiinitely slowed these last two months (which is good), and there's nothing major ahead on the roadmap, but it has been a big problem. You'll notice something similar with the docs, though we are working on it--and I'll be doing a major overhaul (hopefully) before the end of the year. 2) The blog plugin is one that is out of date--even with the changes suggested on the plugin page. The pagedata suggestions, for example are no longer needed as BoltWire has a built info function which can do even more-- right in the core. But I have not been able to update all the plugins. I'm still hoping (requesting) other admins might be willing to maintain one or another of the plugins... 3) What I think I'd like to do is rework the forum and blog plugins to be something more of a tutorial than a one-click installation. Like: here's how you make a new page generator. Here's how you set up a display of blog/forum pages. Here's how you allow comments. Here's how you use info vars to keep track of things. I think it would be easier to maintain, and it would give people more flexibility if they understood HOW to setup their own blogs/forums however they want. All the steps are pretty easy, it's just assembling them that can be a challenge. The current blog plugin, uses every imaginable trick to try and do some amazing things at a very high level of performance. Unfortunately, that makes it more difficult for new users to understand how it works and debug it when there are problems. If you can wait a few days, I'll try and generate a blog/forum tutorial for you (and perhaps a plugin update). It won't be hard--just will take some time. And I'll be gone most of the weekend. BoltWire is quite flexible. Once you get the hang of it, I think you'll like it. And my apologies that I haven't been able to keep up with all of the plugins.
