I couldn’t go to the dashboard because the site wouldn’t load after running that search and replace script. I went in to mysql and see that it dropped the 2 off the end of the directory name. Above what I meant to say was that the url auto changes to dev.metrotechpc.com/proximus/25. But I fixed that by manually updating siteurl and home like I had done before. Only thanks to the script there are 540 places where it dropped the 2 off the directory name.

Now that I fixed that issue, permalinks still don’t work as ‘post’ type url and just like before, it’s writing the htacess file with no problem.

Here's the htaccess if you see anything wrong with it.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /proximus2/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /proximus2/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Thanks

Well actually I did search and replace all instances of the old url but I did it with notepad++ because I had done it before and it worked. Maybe there were no serialized strings in the one that worked before but there are a lot of them in this site so I’ll restore the database and then use the search and replace script from your link and see if that fixes it.
Thanks, I’ll be back in a few to post if it worked or not.

I haven’t been able to get a copy up to a live server to post a link yet (I’m working local at the moment) but something interesting is, I tried divs instead of a table and it does the same thing. It appears to be the social buttons (facebook, twitter, linkedin, etc. that are going all over the place when loaded through the wp loop and no matter what I do with divs or tables they force it to expand. It’s got to have something to do with the iframes and elements coming through with them because I can replace all the buttons with text and my tables or divs take the size and styling like they are supposed to.

Yeah actually that’s why I was wondering if there’s a known issue. I wasn’t seeing anything in firebug.

I do see a couple of random empty paragraphs wp is throwing in there so that’s definitely a problem since p tags have margins and padding applied to them in my style sheet for the ones that are supposed to be there.

So how do I stop wordpress from putting in p tags in random places that aren’t there in my code?

Thanks

Well I thought the problem was resolved but it’s not.

When saving meta data with a custom metabox add_post_meta() is stripping out double quotes and the closing ‘/’ for the closing tag.

I need to be able to save this:
<meta name="fb:whatever" content="somecontent"/>

How do I protect the string so add_post_meta() won’t strip it?
I tried addslashes() but that ends up causing an error somewhere and stoping it from writing anything to the database at all.

here is my save code excluding the admin check part.

$current_data = esc_textarea(get_post_meta($post_id, '_my_meta_facebook', TRUE)); 

    $new_data = $_POST['_my_meta_facebook'];

    //$new_data = addslashes($new_data);
    //my_meta_facebook_clean($new_data);

    if ($current_data)
    {
        if (is_null($new_data)) delete_post_meta($post_id,'_my_meta_facebook');
        else update_post_meta($post_id,'_my_meta_facebook',addslashes($new_data));
    }
    elseif (!is_null($new_data))
    {
        add_post_meta($post_id,'_my_meta_facebook', addslashes($new_data), TRUE);
    }

    return $post_id;

Thanks

Once again, I work on figuring something out for hours and then figure it out after posting the question.

get_post_meta was returning the array with the value intact. I just used esc_textarea on the single value before echoing it instead of trying to use it on the get_post_meta function.

function get_facebook_meta()
{
	global $post;
	$my_facebook_meta = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_my_meta_facebook', true);
	echo esc_textarea($my_facebook_meta['facebook']);
}

I’ll mark it resolved but any suggestions on doing this better are appreciated.

Thanks
