However, these forum postings are reproduced on his own website – so, if he reads them, hopefully he’ll find the time to act. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contact Form 7] [Plugin: Contact Form 7] Attachment Issue](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contact-form-7-attachment-issue/) * [graybo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graybo/) * (@graybo) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contact-form-7-attachment-issue/#post-1910459) * Thanks Mike – I’ve also had this problem and this solution worked. It’s nearly a year since you posted this – it would be great if the code could be fixed as I only downloaded the plugin today. I will direct the plugin author to this post. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [RSS feeds giving 403 error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feeds-giving-403-error/) * Thread Starter [graybo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graybo/) * (@graybo) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feeds-giving-403-error/#post-1682783) * This is now resolved. If you delete the folder “/feed” (or simply rename it to“/ _feed” or something), then your feeds will become visible again. * I must confess that I’m not sure how or why this works, but I can say that it does. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [How make menu (wp_list_pages) “fold”](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-make-menu-wp_list_pages-fold/) * [graybo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graybo/) * (@graybo) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-make-menu-wp_list_pages-fold/page/2/#post-162814) * This plugin solves a problem that I had – thank you!! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Akismet problem](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/akismet-problem-1/) * Thread Starter [graybo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graybo/) * (@graybo) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/akismet-problem-1/#post-298402) * Upgrading to WP2.0 appears to have fixed this problem. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Akismet problem](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/akismet-problem-1/) * Thread Starter [graybo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graybo/) * (@graybo) * [20 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/akismet-problem-1/#post-298258) * I should add that Akismet is working and blocking gazillions of spam. In addition, the problem occured after upgrading to 1.12 from 1.0. Prior to that it had functioned normally. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [500 internal server error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-1/) * [graybo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graybo/) * (@graybo) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-1/#post-175292) * Thanks for the suggestion, but it is unchecked already. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [500 internal server error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-1/) * [graybo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graybo/) * (@graybo) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-1/#post-175290) * I should have added a further question: should I worry about the transmit_error? Is it causing the problem with htaccess not being compiled? Clearly the failure of htaccess is the real problem here. * Do I need more tea and toast? * OK, I can answer that last one myself. * I recently upgraded from 1.2.2 to 1.5 and consider myself a WP enthusiast. But I’ve been struggling with this for a few days now, and have intensively searched the Codex and forums. TIA. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [500 internal server error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-1/) * [graybo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graybo/) * (@graybo) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-1/#post-175289) * hmm. That second error goes outside the column width of the forum – here it is, broken over several lines for readability: `[Fri Apr 8 11:52:37 2005] [alert][ client 81.130.49.105] /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/ grayblog.co.uk/httpdocs/.htaccess: RewriteRule: cannot compile regular expression '^?p=category/(.+)/feed/(feed| rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$'\n * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [500 internal server error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-1/) * [graybo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graybo/) * (@graybo) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-1/#post-175288) * I’ve noticed that when WP generates .htaccess, my server error logs show the following error: `[Fri Apr 8 11:48:45 2005] [error] mod_gzip: TRANSMIT_ERROR: 32 ` * Then, if I try to access my blog or the admin pages, I get a server 500 error and the following error message in the error logs: `[Fri Apr 8 11:52:37 2005][ alert] [client 81.130.49.105] /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/grayblog.co.uk/httpdocs/. htaccess: RewriteRule: cannot compile regular expression '^?p=category/(.+)/feed/( feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$'\n ` * For now, I’ve reverted to blank .htaccess and CHMODed 664 to prevent WP from overwriting it and causing this error. However, I’d like to fix this and allow WP to write the .htaccess file so I can have pretty (and functioning) permalinks. So, the questions are: 1. why is the TRANSMIT_ERROR being generated? (and what does it mean? – I’m no newbie, but I’m out of my depth now) 2. how do I fix it? * [http://www.grayblog.co.uk](http://www.grayblog.co.uk) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [500 internal server error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-1/) * [graybo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graybo/) * (@graybo) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-1/#post-175287) * I’ve got the same problem, but have tried this solution without success – all that happens is that the same error is repeated.

I suspect a mod_rewrite issue. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Can’t get links to be valid with or without permalinks](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-get-links-to-be-valid-with-or-without-permalinks/) * [graybo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graybo/) * (@graybo) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-get-links-to-be-valid-with-or-without-permalinks/#post-181501) * Sorry, no joy yet. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Can’t get links to be valid with or without permalinks](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-get-links-to-be-valid-with-or-without-permalinks/) * [graybo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graybo/) * (@graybo) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-get-links-to-be-valid-with-or-without-permalinks/#post-181217) * I have exactly the same problem. grendelquinn – is your .htaccess file being regenerated by WP when you modify the permalink structure? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [mod_rewrite problem (my host is oneandone.co.uk)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mod_rewrite-problem-my-host-is-oneandonecouk/) * [graybo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graybo/) * (@graybo) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mod_rewrite-problem-my-host-is-oneandonecouk/page/2/#post-176537) * hi jimhobbs. * I can’t help but just wanted to say that you’re not alone. I’m on 34sp.com and seem to have similar problems. * Incidentally, which version of WP are you using. I have been using WP1.5 but found that another (unrelated) problem I had was solved by using elements of a more recent nightly. Have you tried using the latest nightly? I know from reading these forums and my own experience that 1.5 is not without problems and that there is talk of a revision to deal with some issues.
