Post text, but no image?? Duplicate blog

My possible solutions:

1. install entirely new WP blog into new directory. No muss, no fuss.
2. develop PHP/SQL admin CMS.
3. sacrifice woodland creature to appease gods of css

Hmm..unfortunately, I set the LOOP to include the content if the excerpt isn’t present:

<?php if ( is_category() || is_archive() ) {
													the_excerpt();
												} else {
													the_content();
												} ?>

So that can’t be the issue. It would seem that not even installing an entirely new blog in a different folder is going to work either…when I try opening the admin in the browser, all I get is:

The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

Ugh, should I look into another CMS, or just start building a simple back-end?? If this isn’t going to work, I might as well get to the drawing board…any other suggestions?

Sorry henkholland and thank you, didn’t mean to overlook your entry! Yes, I’ve made some changes since yesterday, let me explain.

I’ve had to uninstall WP blog (/cinemas8/movies/) off the site, and retried fixing the zachmcqueary.com/blog/ category reference + Category Excluder, which is what you see on the cinemas8/index.php page now. That first entry is actually the code for that attempt…the rest are written in DIRECTLY to the page so disregard those. SO JUST TO BE CLEAR, the ‘Up in the Air’ entry is referenced from the root /blog/ and is NOT an excerpt but the full post content (not sure how the [..] is getting pulled)…only it shows NO image, and NO table formatting. This is my dilemma.

Ok, for my #1 new install solution listed above with the redirecting issue…it turns out its a problem with my htaccess file. I have set it to fix my canonical issue…but if I take it out, I’m able to get to my new WP blog in right now, I’m taking out my htaccess file for anyone to see FOR JUST TODAY. So please, let me know what your thoughts are.

So, the question NOW is do I reference /blog/ and find some way to fix the no image, no formatting issue…OR fix my htaccess file to stop the www redirect while still redirecting root folders for canonical issues?

(*WHEW*)..what a pain..

BUM, BUM, BAH-BUUUUUM! Fixed!

Solution: Created new blog in /cinemas8/clients/wp/ and referenced that instead of root /blog/ + Category Excluder, AND the htaccess didn’t need to be changed at all. Just go into /wp-admin/ > Settings, and change the WordPress and Blog Address (URL) to match the canonical changes in your htaccess (from ‘http://zachmcque…’ to http://www.zachmcque…’.

Sometimes the simplest solution, is the best solution!
