(EmptyReference!)

    Hi folks,

    I’ve been getting 404 errors when attempting to use the admin panel. For example, on the page wp-admin/edit.php I would get a 404 when I submitted certain comments for deletion.

    The 404 occurred because WordPress had sent me to a page with the string “(EmptyReference!)” in the middle of the URI.

    I searched my WordPress PHP files and found several instances of the string “(EmptyReference!)” within the wp-admin directory. They were all found within form tags, thus:

    action="(EmptyReference!)"

    I therefore deleted this text, leaqving just

    action=””

    and it seems to work fine now.

    I raise the issue because I see others have experienced the same phenomenon. Can anyone comment on what might cause these erroneous strings to appear. Clearly not everyone experiences the issue. I installed the new version of WordPress on a Mac with Adobe GoLive, dragging the files from a folder into the GoLive site window. Could that program have added the extra (EmptyReference!) text?

    yes… that’s golive messing with your code.

    Why not use an FTP client that doesn’t f&%K with the inside of your wordpress files?

    Thanks for the edit; it worked on my site. I don’t use GoLive, so I have no idea how the code got in there… I do use an FTP client, so it seems to be something else that’s screwing with my code.
