   Hi,

   I'm using a static home page with a separate blog page in the responsive theme.

   Language switching (french-english) with Polylang is working great. But, posts are not displayed properly. If I disable Polylang, they show up as expected.

   permalinks setting = default
   polylang version 1.01
   Responsive theme v. 1.8.9.3

   Checking the post page with validator shows some html tags errors are being generated.

   http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fcaf.rsmrecords.com%2F%3Fp%3D308&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

   The site under development is at http://www.caf.rsmrecords.com, blog page is linked from the seminars menu in the english version.

   Any help would be appreciated.

   I used the blog template.

   Also tried the blog(excepts) one but same result.

   I tried several combinations of settings and did not reproduce same thing. Could you describe What your settings are (polylang + 'front page displays' in reading settings)?

   Are you sure there is not a conflict with another plugin?

   The only other active plugin is Sidebar Login.

   Disabling it doesn't change the behaviour of the posts page.

   I do have some other plugins that are installed but disabled. Membership, and s2member@Framework are the only ones I've added. Others were part of WordPress install on my host's site.

   Akismet, Hello Dolly, Jetpack, SiteWit, UppSite-GoMobile.

   Reading Settings are:

   Front page displays Static page (check box)-set to "Welcome to the home page..."
   Posts page -set to "Select", choosing the assigned blog page throws a 404 error.

   I'm not sure which Polylang settings you are asking about. There is only English & French on the site.

   On the setting tab Plugins/Polylang/Settings:

   Detect Browser language: yes
   URL Modifications: set from content
   Static front page redirect language page: yes
   Media activate languages: yes
   Synchronization: all checked

   I can try actually deleting the disabled plugins, if that might help.

   thanks,

   rob

   I don't understand... I chose exactly the same settings as you, used the same versions of WP, Polylang and Responsive, even downloaded Sidebar login and I do not succeed to reproduce the same issue as on your site :(

   It seems that the execution is brutally stopped as the page is not displayed correctly (html tags are not closed).

   Maybe you should try to set WP_DEBUG to true in your wp-config.php and look if errors are outputed.

   Hi,

   I finally had time try the debug setting.

   This error shows repeatedly in the debug.log file:

   [07-Mar-2013 19:53:13] PHP Notice: Undefined index: QUERY_STRING in /hermes/bosoraweb052/b2875/dot.robcarroll/testCAF/wp-content/plugins/polylang/include/core.php on line 419

   What should I do to fix it?

   thanks,

   rob

   To remove the notice, try replacing the line 419 by:
   

   wp_redirect(empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) ? $redirect : $redirect . ($wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() ? '?' : '&') . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);

   According to search results, this notice should appear on IIS, not on Apache.

   OK. I made that edit.

   Now I get a server error if i try to go back to the site at all.

   Internal Server Error

   The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

   Please contact the server administrator, cgiadmin@yourhostingaccount.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

   More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

    OK. it was the text encoding. Server error is gone. The line at 419 has been replaced.

    I deleted the debug.log file because I couldn't see a way to clear the past entries. Hopefully a new log will be generated. The blog posts are still only showing titles as before.

    I wasn't expecting this would solve the main issue.
    Have you other errors logged?

    Just in case, since we started on this 4 weeks ago, could you update to the latest version of Polylang?

    Then edit the file single.php in your theme directory. Replace the line 38:
    

    <?php responsive_post_meta_data(); ?>

    by
    

    <?php
    echo get_permalink();
    echo get_the_time();
    echo get_the_date();
    echo get_the_author_meta( 'ID' );
    echo get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) );
    echo get_the_author();
    ?>

    And tell me when you have done this so that I check the result on your site. This will not solve the issue but maybe help debugging...

    OK. I have made that edit.

    After I deleted the other debug.log file, I don't see any new one. The WP-config.php file is still set to log errors to the debug file.

    Can you replace the same line by:
    

    <?php
    echo 1;
    echo home_url();
    echo 2;
    echo home_url('?p=332');
    echo 3;
    echo get_permalink();
    ?>

14. robcarroll

    OK. I've done that.

    There is something wrong... It seems that you have badly commented the original line in:
    

    //<?php responsive_post_meta_data(); ?>

    The right way to comment is:
    

    <?php //responsive_post_meta_data(); ?>

    If I am right, then we must restart the first test... but let's forget the first way and do it like this:
    

    <?php
    echo 1;
    echo home_url();
    echo 2;
    echo home_url('?p=332');
    echo 3;
    echo get_permalink();
    echo 4;
    echo get_the_time();
    echo 5;
    echo get_the_date();
    echo 6;
    echo get_the_author_meta( 'ID' );
    echo 7;
    echo get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) );
    echo 8;
    echo get_the_author();
    ?>

    If I am wrong, then it means that there is some code between
    

    <div class="post-meta">

    and the line we are replacing, which should not be there.

    Hi,

    Yes, you are right. I have replaced the commented out code with this:
    `<?php
    //responsive_post_meta_data();
    ?>
    <?php
    // echo get_permalink();
    // echo get_the_time();
    // echo get_the_date();
    // echo get_the_author_meta( 'ID' );
    // echo get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) );
    // echo get_the_author();
    ?>
    I have replaced the previous code with your latest suggestion and updated the file on the server.

    thanks,

    rob

    So this edit made a difference to the post page itself. Now the content is displayed, as well as the info.

    What would be necessary to get this to work on the blog page (seminars)?

    You can reset your file single.php.
    The problem is coming from the function 'responsive_post_meta_data' but what is very strange is that all the fonctions called by 'responsive_post_meta_data' are working as expected (this what we just tested).

    Could you open the responsive/includes/functions.php, go to line 350 and post the content of the function 'responsive_post_meta_data' between
    

    if (!function_exists('responsive_post_meta_data')) :

    and
    

    endif;

    if (!function_exists('responsive_post_meta_data')) :

    function responsive_post_meta_data() {
    printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted on </span>%2$s<span class="%3$s"> by </span>%4$s', 'responsive' ),
    'meta-prep meta-prep-author posted',
    sprintf( '<span class="timestamp">%3$s</span>',
    get_permalink(),
    esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
    get_the_date()
    ),
    'byline',
    sprintf( '<span class="author vcard">%3$s</span>',
    get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ),
    sprintf( esc_attr__( 'View all posts by %s', 'responsive' ), get_the_author() ),
    get_the_author()
    )
    );
    }
    endif;

    How do you create the code blocks in these posts? The code button doesn't appear to do anything.

    You have to select all your code and then click on the code button. It will add one inverted quote at the beginning and another one at the end. You obtain a better display if the first quote is left alone on its line.

    Well, even if your code is not correctly displayed, it seems to be the same as I have and I still do not understand what happens. You should update to the latest version 1.8.9.3 but that will probably not change that...

    Have you a child theme or a custom plugin which could define the function first?
    To quickly check that, you can just put
    

    echo 'here';

    just after
    

    function responsive_post_meta_data() {

    and check that 'here' is displayed on your site.

21. robcarroll

    OK. So I went back to the original version of the single.php file. And inserted the echo 'here' line into functions.php.

    The blog page and blog posts once again just show the post tile only with the text 'here' displayed. Another odd behaviour is that the upper menu bar (with the login info etc) does not get displayed on either of these pages.

    I'm not using any child theme or custom plugins.

    That's normal because WordPress brutally stops in the function 'responsive_post_meta_data' for a reason I ignore

    Could you update the theme to the latest version?

    After that, if you still have the problem, you can comment the whole function like this:

    function responsive_post_meta_data() {
    /*
    	printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted on </span>%2$s<span class="%3$s"> by </span>%4$s', 'responsive' ),
    	'meta-prep meta-prep-author posted',
    	sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><span class="timestamp">%3$s</span></a>',
    		get_permalink(),
    		esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
    		get_the_date()
    	),
    	'byline',
    	sprintf( '<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s" title="%2$s">%3$s</a></span>',
    		get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ),
    		sprintf( esc_attr__( 'View all posts by %s', 'responsive' ), get_the_author() ),
    		get_the_author()
    	    )
    	);
    */
    }

    This should prevent the wrong code to be executed. But not finding what happens is driving me crazy!

    I have the most up to date version of Responsive and WordPress itself already. I may try to do a clean install of both.

    Anyway, fully commenting out the function above seems to fix this issue.

    thanks,

    rob
