Error: Install Fails for Domain with 4×4 in URL

    I have come across a weird problem in that either through fantastico or the ‘5 minute install’ my domain name 4×4-Trucks.info when installed 4×4 is replaced by http://www.4×4-trucks.info/news/ which stops the theme from working correctly as the images and stylesheet are no longer found. The functionality of WordPress continues to work just without a theme 🙁

    Is there a workaround for this other than manually changing all urls?

    TIA

    mmm … domain should say this:

    ‘4×4-trucks.info/news/’

    Even the forum messes it up 🙁

    That’s caused by the wptexturize() function.

    See if this works for you.

    Unfortunately it did not work and all the url’s are still encoded in strange way. Other than manually hacking every instance is there any way to fix this … it seems like it should be reported as a bug as this cannot be right that writing 4×4 gets encoded.

    Maybe I should try this:

    Replaced $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] with $_SERVER[‘SERVER_NAME’] and $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] with $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’].

    If anyone knows where that line is though ???

    Thanks for your help Techwench!
