The link was originally posted by a user to a bbPress-powered forum that I run, and it broke the site in the way described. Because the origin of the breakage was not immediately obvious, I spent around 4+ hours disabling/enabling plugins, checking the database, WordPress configuration etc, until I found the specific post that seemed to cause the problem and deleted it (after which the site ran normally again). Then, I set up a new, fresh WordPress install to figure out what exactly it was in the post that broke the site (I had made a backup of the post contents).
You can find an edited version of the post here (the user re-posted it, I edited the post so it doesn’t break the site again):
https://hub.displaycal.net/forums/topic/madvr-lut3d-issues-made-with-displaycal/#post-2016Note that the problem doesn’t seem site-specific as it happens on a fresh WordPress install with no plugins.
so they are not trying to access anything to download.
Surely WordPress itself doesn’t parse and follow URLs pasted into posts or pages? That would seem very odd!
Just another question: did you revert to an older version 0.9.x after a first upgrade to 1.0.x and then come back to 1.0 ?
No, I would have considered as last resort, but now I don’t need to.
That solved the issue. Thanks!
It must have been 0.9.x. Sync was unchecked if I recall correctly.
Thanks for the reply! Yes, I upgraded the plugin from a previous version. The synchronization checkboxes are not checked.
Actually, you can now just update to 2.9.0.1 which already has the fix.
Don’t worry, this change will not interfere with your permalink structure. It’s just used internally (the cache files are stored as md5 of the permalink). But, unfortunately there is a bug if you use “Cache invalidation mode: only modified posts”, it won’t invalidate modified posts if the permalink has a trailing slash (my bad, as I was the one who submitted that change – apologies). If you’re comfortable in PHP, it’s easy to fix though: Open plugin.php, go to line 185, it should read
$link = substr($link, 7);
and change it to
$link = rtrim(substr($link, 7), '/');
