In reply to: All “pages” have become “posts” – Can’t Add New Pagesi am running 2.1.1
several months ago this happened to me when i installed a plug-in, simple-forum. rather than trying to figure out a code fix i wound up copying all content and remaking pages and deleting the posts then updated htaccess. worked fine until 4/17 when it happened again. this time when the site hiccuped and all my plugins deactivated. when i activated plugins my pages were in posts again.
are you getting the error message “page can’t be found” and any other error message. are you having issues with “tags” too?
i asked my isp to go back one day and restore the database to see if that would fix it. this created a bigger problem at the moment. awaiting forum and isp answers.

In reply to: Image up-loader asks me to log-in again.i get this issue only when i am working on another computer which made it seem like a cookie thing. eventually i went and logged in again via the upload window and the problem went away.
this is the case for a site that is v2.3.3 and one that is v2.5
i came away thinking that wp wanted to make sure i was who i said i was while on a strange computer.
i am on a mac using FF.

In reply to: Cannot ‘Save’ or ‘Publish’ anymorewow. i am running 2.1.1 on a year-old site. on 2/17/08 i got the same blank page on publish. 2/16/08 was ok.
i went back to my isp ( not dreamboat note: not a problem on two other sites on this server ) and asked them to restore my database to 2/16. i have bigger problems as a result at the moment.
but it is interesting everyone getting this for the first time…

In reply to: Blogroll and Technorati links and Incoming linksok otto, thanks.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Blogroll and Technorati links and Incoming linksotto, when did wordpress switch to google for incoming links? i have 19 links shown on technorati since my last link shown on my wordpress dashboard. that was five days ago. is this topic still on the forum?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Blogroll and Technorati links and Incoming linksupon further research my impression (please correct if my conclusion is wrong) is that technorati and google are at odds. to be able to have a decent PR and have technorati authority at the same time is impressive.
it seems technorati loves any kind of non-duplicate links on a main post and blogroll. miniposts get no link credit.
google on the other hand measures external links vs outgoing. so if you have a large number of blogroll links (external) on a page you are required to have much more incoming links to compensate. if not, your ‘google juice” leaks away = PR goes down.
it’s suggested that you remove the blogroll links from the sidebar (blogrolls here always are competing with your incoming links.) you can it seems put your blogroll/reciprocal links on their own “links” page eliminating the competition with incoming links. note: any discussion on the “nofollow” topic can be later. right now, i am ignoring nofollow.
if this is true is there an easy way to manage moving existing blogroll links? is there an elegant solution? at present i am manually copy/pasting from blogroll to new links page. note: i see some sites using link manager services but i am wary that these link services can be spammers in disquise.
much of the above info came from andy beard at http://andybeard.eu/2006/11/how-a-blogroll-can-kill-your-pagerank.html
also, the above blogroll on a page is a bareboned list. it would be nice to have a links page have special features. like organize by category. or tags. or views (most popular links) similar to how an archive can be set up.

In reply to: Blogroll and Technorati links and Incoming linksotto. well technorati sees the links much faster than google 😉
are we saying that google blogsearch does not yet know of this new site = two weeks old. it comes up quickly on a google search.
so even though there are links to my site it will take awhile before they start registering on the incoming links indicator in my dashboard home page. or is something broken in wordpress.

In reply to: Validation and target[equal]_blankbpartch, this sounds interesting. will try it, thanks. btw – i am on transitional.
alex, thanks for sharing. this method admittedly is a controversial one. about 50-50 for and against. i hate leaving the site i am on then have to work my way back. and with firefox a new tab opening from an external link makes it seamless.

In reply to: Upgrade/ Re installment..hope you are up by now…
i had a similar problem. i tried on cpanel and ftp client and could not change permissions. the isp fixed everything at their end. it was a server thing.
at my isp however, depending on who is helping you, some feel it is a connectivity issue and they help you. if they feel it is a wp problem you are back here to the forum.
your isp sounds like they support wp issues.

In reply to: Upgrade/ Re installment..what kind of platform are you on? if you are on a mac i can recommend a very easy but fully equipped ftp client.
btw – i had no problem with DW (but listen to moshu) this client is so much easier, and faster than DW i never use DW anymore.
