Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WordPress Site not loading for specific NZ based clientsI’m wondering if it’s being caused by the “Storm Worm”.
I speculated on this on my blog when I had a similar problem on Friday, and noticed that an unusual number of Internet routers were not doing well.
Of course, these issues may not have a direct correlation — but, then again, they very well may.
I’ve found that sometimes search engines request the robots.txt file and, if they don’t find it, don’t spider the pages.
spabizgal, you’re right: excluding the cgi-bin from being spidered would be a good use of robots.txt.

In reply to: Wont Install Local or Remote!!!!!It’s a good idea to try a few things in the config file if “the usual” is not working.

In reply to: Comments aren’t workingI would not change the table name.
I’m wondering what happened during the upgrade process, and whether you can repair the table (with phpmyadmin or something similar). It appears that WP is following the instruction to allow comments, but is not displaying comments.
Have you included, in your theme, the coding required to display comments? Part of it is this:
<?php comment_text() ?>Unfortunately, I’m out of suggestions; hopefully someone else will respond.

In reply to: 2.06 WP running very slow at snails pace and ADMIN area just as baddrmike is right — your home page plus all the images equal 828K (at least, that’s what I was able to download). That’s huge in itself.
But if any of these images are hosted on other servers (and many are), then you’re going to have problems regardless of what your host does. That is, if getting the images from those external servers is slow, then your page is going to be slow — and it has nothing to do with mysql or your host.
I’d suggest cutting down the number of images by at least 2/3. Try that, and see if it’s still the same.

In reply to: How do I point mydomain.com to mydomain.com/journal?Look in your WordPress Control panel, under Options. You can set the “home” page of your blog there.
Not sure if that would cause any problems with the domain, though. If there is nothing else on the site, you might just move the index.php page to the root directory (so it’s automatically reachable via martinjy.com). I think there’s some info in the Code (codex.wordpress.org) about how to do that.

In reply to: Unable to edit/manage in 2.0.7andyhoyland, I’m not sure why there’s a confusion about what files should be in the /wp-admin folder.
Before upgrading, did you delete the files in /wp-admin and then upload the new ones?

In reply to: any changes to theme stylesheet destroys layoutIt’s possible to make changes to the stylesheet without wrecking everything.
However, from your description, we can’t know what types of changes you made, nor what errors might have been introduced.
But, as a guess, I’d say that your padding added extra width to an element such that other elements were displaced.

In reply to: Header dissappears with friendly urlsHm. I think I’d try to call the header image the way the rest of the WP elements are called. If (and that’s a big if) I recall correctly, it’s something like this:
<a href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/yourheader.jpg" />Actually, I don’t know the answer, but that might do it.

In reply to: WP ignores class attribute in postsIs it possible that you’ve stuck the class=”whatever” in the wrong area in the template, such that it gets stripped out by PHP?
That would be the first place I’d look.

In reply to: fatal error re 2.07 wp-includes/functions.php on line 2365Mark Jaquith was pretty clear on the issue: IF you’re upgrading from 2.0.6, you can do the minimal file upgrade thing (I’d also run upgrade.php).
If it’s an earlier version of WordPress, then you need to do the full file replacement and run upgrade.php.

In reply to: Premature end of script headers: index.phpAre you able to FTP into the site — and verify that the index.php has the correct file date as the one you originally uploaded? You could also try uploading a new index.php.
The other thing that comes to mind is a blocking of the root directory (that is, site.com/) via either the .htaccess file or the server configuration file. It’s pretty easy to make a mistake with those.

In reply to: fatal error re 2.07 wp-includes/functions.php on line 2365Thanks, samboll. I didn’t know whether upgrade.php had to be run, and didn’t want to wait, so I ran it anyway. No harm, no foul, job done.

In reply to: After upgrade, Categories AND Comments read ZEROI’m going to take a wild guess, and ask whether the categories code in sidebar.php for your theme have this code:
<?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1&hierarchical=0'); ?>Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: fatal error re 2.07 wp-includes/functions.php on line 2365I had upgraded our/our clients’ blogs to WP2.0.6 last weekend — in which case, Mark Jaquith’s instructions worked perfectly for me because the “short” upgrade mentioned WP2.0.6. I also ran upgrade.php but didn’t disable plugins (grin) — though I’m not sure that will work for anyone else.
