Ooops, 1and1 user here too… MySql 4 and PHP4

Will try MySql 5 and PHP 5 and post my results soon

Update: rather than throw away 2 weeks of work, I started fresh with WP 2.6.2 and TDO 11.1

Amazingly, I was done in less than an hour and all seems fine. No apparent plugin conflicts with ACE and Wassup… major crashing with Headspace (removed it)… also currently running Login redirects, Register plus, WP-Cumulus, and XML Sitemaps).

In this configuration, I did notice that 11.1 doesn’t does not allow you to order the categories for dropdowns and it seems to interfere with a random image javascript that was running okay on the same pages with with v12. These are minor things I can live with.

Another note- widget functionality ceased in WP 2.6.2/TDO 12 the instant you touched the form hacker. Certainly that was not intended? Widgets seem to work fine (be reconfigurable) in WP 2.6.2/TDO 11.1

So I am stuck with a somewhat limited/limiting version of 11.1 for now… but its stable with ACE and Wassup which are critical to my site and does what I need it to do. Not to be presumptive, but something tells me TDO 12 might have to be seriously rebuilt beginning with the major differences between v11 and v12. I for one would lose functionality to gain stabilty in every case.

Version 12 is such as tease. When it becomes stable, I’ll never have any reason to use the WP interface to publish my posts or pages.

Sorry, but I am giving up. I spent well over 100 hours trying different combinations of plugins and different configurations before coming to the conclusion that TDO is totally unsuitable for WordPress 2.6+

It was a never ending saga of 500 errors, blank manage pages, blank plugin pages, blank widget pages, and forms that work one day and don’t work the next.

The backend is too tedious to keep recreating forms that become corrupted by various plugin combinations. No plugin has ever caused me anywhere near the grief TDO has. I gambled two weeks worth of round the clock work hoping to build a forum out of WP 2.6 and this plugin and lost. Don’t let the same thing happen to you.

Don’t get me wrong, the plugin probably works fine in earler version of WP but don’t bother if you want to build a serious WP 2.6 site around this plugin.

Update: I moved WordPress to the root (it had been in a subdirectory) and Stealth apparently created its own .htaccess file… says it is updated… but never seems to work.

The .htaccess file just reads:

# BEGIN WordPress# END WordPress

I have changed the file permissions to allow read/write/execute access for everyone (777) on this file, and refreshed/retried several but the plugin still isn’t working.

Its says: Settings saved and .htaccess file updated.

But there is no .htaccess Output at the bottom

What is going on?
