It’s working now. After renaming index.php to something that wordpress couldn’t find, trying to access a permalink (which of course failed), putting [blog_root]index.php back, AND reloading the [blog_root], it displayed just fine. Had to be caching of some kind.

@taxpolicy – it’s working now. After renaming index.php to something that wordpress couldn’t find, trying to access a permalink (which of course failed), putting [blog_root]index.php back, AND reloading the [blog_root], it displayed just fine. Had to be caching of some kind.

The update ran successfully. This morning, I renamed [blog_root}index.php so wordpress couldn’t find it and uploaded an index.html that contained a redirect to one of the page permalinks. Everything broke, but after I put it back, I was able to get the default page from it’s permalink (though it took a really long to come up for the first time). Maybe caching something? Anyway, the [blog_root] is still blank – that’s the only thing not working. Everything else is fine, permalinks are all fine.

After the 2.7 upgrade everything works great, except that the <blog_root> page is blank. When other URLs are loaded, everything is fine, except whichever page is configured as the default (the content displayed for the <blog_root> appears blank. I can switch the default pages around. Once a page is not the default, it loads fine and whatever the new default is goes blank. I tried without the plug-ins, with the default wordpress theme, verified that the permissions are okay, reinstalled the 2.7 update, injected code in <blog_root>/index.php …

ini_set(‘display_errors’,’1′);
ini_set(‘display_startup_errors’,’1′);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

… to print any warnings, but I’m not getting any errors either. Nothing is broken except the [blog_root] and whatever page is defined to be the default content. I can switch the default content around – whatever was the default content displays fine from its permalink. The new default content shows a blank page from it’s permalink. The [blog_root] always shows blank, even if it’s configured to be the last ten posts. There’s no content missing. Any ideas?

I did the 2.7 upgrade and everything works EXCEPT the blog’s home page – it’s a complete blank, whether you get there by entering the URL directly or via a link to it from any other page or post (which all work fine). What happened??? Any ideas how I can fix it?

Revje,

I think I know why WordPress wants (needs) <p> around the content… When you have multiple paragraphs in the post content, you need them delimited from each other. I posted code from index.php and style.css below… Probably need to get control of the spacing before and/or after the content in some other way – the question is how?

<div class=”post-author”>
<?php _e(‘By ‘); the_author(); ?>
</div>

<div class=”post-content”>
<?php the_content(__(‘Read the rest of this entry »’)); ?>
</div>

<div class=”post-metadata”>
<?php _e(‘Posted in ‘); the_category(‘, ‘); ?> |
<?php edit_post_link(__(‘Edit’),”,’ |‘); ?>
<?php comments_popup_link(__(‘No Comments’), __(‘1 Comment’), __(‘% Comments’)); ?>
</div>
……………………………………………………………..
the CSS looks like:
.post-author {
font-size:8pt;
color:#003366;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
/* margin-bottom:3em; orig – removal has no effect */
margin-bottom:1em;
}
.post-content, .comment-content {
font-size:10pt;
color:#333333;
}
.post-metadata {
text-align:center; /* my addition – no effect */
font-size:8pt;
color:#003366;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
/* padding-left:3em; orig – removal has no effect*/
}
……………………………………………………………..
The resulting code looks like:

<div class=”post-author”>By {username}</div>
<div class=”post-content”>
<p>post content paragraph1…</p>
<p>post content paragraph2…</p>
</div>
<div class=”post-metadata”>
Posted in …
</div>

I want to accomplish exactly the same thing. Have read through the_content() and the functions it calls, and anything they call, … and I can’t find the place where the <p>, </p> get injected. Looking forward to seeing a solution posted…
