Hi,

just nearly finished creation of a new site, and finaly choosen a template. Now as almost everything else runs well, i’ve stumbled into problems with WP Gallery. Probably template related… im using this one:

http://hechtmediaarts.com/themes/silencio-wordpress-theme/

Unfortunately it seems that WP Gallery is not working with it (site itself is running fine). Every time i try to access an WP Glossary entry it results in an endless loop…

I’ve tried to disable Javascript, to see if its an JS Error from the Template, but it does not seem so. Looks like it is something PHP related…

I’ve switched the template to a more basic, and the problem disappered.

May i kindly ask for help?

Listing (working): http://horrowitz.de/W%C3%B6rterverzeichnis/
Entry (not working): http://horrowitz.de/W%C3%B6rterverzeichnis/aberglaube/

Thanks!

Martin

Additional information: I tried using the Widget, to display random term in sidebar. This works without any problems, even in full mode…

Hi wolfmartin

Your glossary term details are responding with a 301 redirect. I’m not away of anything in the plugin code that will do that. There are no redirects, and certainly not any 301s.

Hi TCBarret,

i have no idea what causes this redirect. It happens only on WP Glossary details…

Any hint for me, how to debug this by myself? I’ve looked through the classes but i dont know which code produces the page output. Could you point me in the right direction?

Regards

M

There is nothing in the plugin code that returns a 301 redirect.

They are difficult to undo:

After setting up a dev system at home, importing site and database backup, i found it.

Problem was a called function “canonical_request()” taken from http://toscho.de/2010/wordpress-plugin-canonical-permalink/ in theme file admin-functions.php. In Line 1133 there was a comparison:

$canonical_path == $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’])

Problem was a compare missmatch because $canonical_path could contain special chars like ä ö ü. Same chars in $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] were escaped like using urlencode():

Example: Wörterbuchverzeichnis == W%C3%B6rterverzeichnis

Because of that a check afterwards every time failed causing an endless 301…

Well, fixed for the moment… but probably i should consider choosing another theme 🙁
