The issue was resolved and a fixed version has already been released. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [5.5 Update breaks custom page parameters](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/5-5-update-breaks-custom-page-parameters/) * Thread Starter [GeraldS](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geralds/) * (@geralds) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/5-5-update-breaks-custom-page-parameters/#post-13288018) * Thanks Olga, that was exactly what I needed. I managed to fix it using this in my functions.php: * ``` function custom_rewrite_basic() { add_rewrite_tag('%course_id%', '([0-9]+)'); add_rewrite_rule('^course/([0-9]+)/?', 'index.php?page_id=5&course_id=$matches[1]', 'top'); } add_action('init', 'custom_rewrite_basic'); ``` * And then I could use the variable where needed with this: * `$wp_query->query_vars['course_id']` * Much cleaner than what I had before, and probably more future proof. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [5.5 Update breaks custom page parameters](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/5-5-update-breaks-custom-page-parameters/) * Thread Starter [GeraldS](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geralds/) * (@geralds) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/5-5-update-breaks-custom-page-parameters/#post-13279634) * I reproduced the problem in a testing environment: * [https://demo.schneidr.de/](https://demo.schneidr.de/) * Those two WordPress installations are identical. Extracted WordPress, ran the installation, created the page `Course`, copied a page template in the template folder, added the RewriteRule to the .htaccess file. * Both files are available here: [https://gist.github.com/schneidr/3b02f094c38ec614a0279dffde5927df](https://gist.github.com/schneidr/3b02f094c38ec614a0279dffde5927df) ( of course the RewriteBase differs, but that’s the only difference) * If you follow the links you’ll see that the 5.4 installation stays at `/course/ 123456/` and the course data is displayed correctly, while on the 5.5 installation a redirect to `/course/` occurs. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [5.5 Update breaks custom page parameters](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/5-5-update-breaks-custom-page-parameters/) * Thread Starter [GeraldS](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geralds/) * (@geralds) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/5-5-update-breaks-custom-page-parameters/#post-13279056) * A redirect is exactly what I don’t want. The URL is supposed to stay `/course/ 12345`. And that worked for years until I upgraded WordPress to 5.5. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Liveblog] Social Embeds No Longer Working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/social-embeds-no-longer-working/) * [GeraldS](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geralds/) * (@geralds) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/social-embeds-no-longer-working/#post-9607513) * The embed works after reloading the page. When posting a link as an update, or when the new update is shown for a visitor only the link is shown. After reloading the page the embed works. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Sitemap by BestWebSoft - WordPress XML Site Map Page Generator Plugin] Problem in WordPress 4.6.1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-in-wordpress-4-6-1/) * [GeraldS](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geralds/) * (@geralds) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-in-wordpress-4-6-1/#post-8266439) * I have the same problem with the same configuration.

I also would prefer that the link goes to the spam folder instead of the settings page … once the plugin is set up I don’t need to go to the settings page every day, plus that would be the behaviour someone who switches from Akismet would expect. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Twenty Ten] Featured image not working in multisite installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-image-not-working-in-multisite-installation/) * Thread Starter [GeraldS](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geralds/) * (@geralds) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-image-not-working-in-multisite-installation/#post-4059737) * My guess would be that, when an image is set as featured image, the created thumbnail is too small to be used as a header image. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Twenty Ten] Featured image not working in multisite installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-image-not-working-in-multisite-installation/) * Thread Starter [GeraldS](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geralds/) * (@geralds) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-image-not-working-in-multisite-installation/#post-4059735) * I did some further testing: * Line #92 in header.php looks like this: * `$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'post- thumbnail' )` * In the main blog it returns this array: `array(4) { [0]=> string(96) "http:// playground.********.de/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/P1140625-1280x957- 940x198.jpg" [1]=> int(940) [2]=> int(198) [3]=> bool(true) }` * In the second blog it returns: `array(4) { [0]=> string(109) "http://playground.********. de/wordpress/test/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2013/08/P1140625-1280x957-604x270. jpg" [1]=> int(442) [2]=> int(198) [3]=> bool(true) } bool(false)` * This image is too small to be used as a header image, hence the default header is used. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Custom Field Won't Add](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-field-wont-add/) * [GeraldS](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geralds/) * (@geralds) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-field-wont-add/#post-3074618) * I (guess) I have the same problem, maybe this helps you: * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-problem-with-custom-fields](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-problem-with-custom-fields) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Flattr] [Plugin: Flattr] Fatal error when editing post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-flattr-fatal-error-when-editing-post/) * Thread Starter [GeraldS](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geralds/) * (@geralds) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-flattr-fatal-error-when-editing-post/#post-3003310) * The problem only exists when the plugin is active.

I have to assume it happened after a plugin update since we rather look directly at Piwik for the stats and it was counting fine. * For now we got it working again by pointing the url of the piwik installation to bbb.de/piwik/ instead of aaa.de/piwik/, which happens to be the same installation. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[wp-Typography] [Plugin: wp-Typography] This plugin can cause errors in the head when wp_head writes link elements](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-typography-this-plugin-can-cause-errors-in-the-head-when-wp_head-writes-link-elements/) * [GeraldS](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geralds/) * (@geralds) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-typography-this-plugin-can-cause-errors-in-the-head-when-wp_head-writes-link-elements/#post-2336660) * No, it doesn’t.
