[okfn-help] help with wordpress simile timeline plugin

Tue Dec 13 22:46:11 UTC 2011

Hi Adam,

I guess I managed to fix it =)
Plugin didn't respect Domain Mapping and tried to request xml file from a subdomain which caused problems...

I have posted solution to plugin mailing list if they want to use it or make better one for next release.

Cheers!
