I figured out my issue and it was a pure user error.

I was running multiple sites out of the one installation – it works pretty well but if the .htaccess file is updated from one blog, it has the opportunity to mess up your others.

I could have set all up the same and taken away the write access to .htaccess but i tried a different approach instead and am quite liking the results.

I’ve split my different sites up to use several different installations. Er – not rocket science! Sure the overhead is a little higher on maintenance but actually i am finding it better to be separated because when i upgrade i ont put all my sites at risk. I can upgrade the less important first, test the upgrade process and do each of my important sites in turn. Much more controlled. I can do this because I have SSH access to my ISP server and I’m getting more linux savvy as each week passes. Now I have written a couple of cgi scripts that I can use to deploy themes and plugins to all sites from one master copy and also to keep my master wp-config.php file in sync across the site. I just have an extra step each time i upload a plugin or theme – no big deal really.

I just upgraded 10 sites to WP 2.3.3 and really it was a breeze.

I am also getting this problem on my site – i have multiple contributors so it is a little hard for me to pinpoint the exact cause but this is a little frustrating. I am on the latest release – 2.3.2.

I got this to work without an issue. I am on WP 2.2. I wanted to have a menu with a submenu and when you are on the submenu page i wanted it to continue to show the submenu items … ie the current page and its peers … I also highlight the menu item and the submenu item that you are on.

It’s got a limitation in that every page has to be on the menu or submenu for it to work. I am sure though that there is an easy enough bit of logic that could be added to address this.

Here is what i have in my header.php

<div id="header">
  <ul id="nav">
    <?php
    $mainID = 3; /* set this to the parent of your menu items */
    wp_list_pages('child_of='.$mainID.'&sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li=');
    ?>
  </ul>

  <div class="hr"><hr /></div>

  <ul id="nav">
    <?php
    /* get the parent ID */
    if ($post->post_parent != 0)
    {
      $parentID = $post->post_parent;
    }

    if ($parentID != $mainID)
    {
      /* we are not on a main menu page grab this page's siblings */
      /* this does assume that all pages are menu or submenu items */
      $submenuparentID = $parentID;
    }
    else
    {
      /* we are on a main menu page so grab this page's children */
      $submenuparentID = $post->ID;
    }

    wp_list_pages('child_of='.$submenuparentID.'&sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li=');
    ?>
  </ul>
</div> <!-- #header -->

I have a similar issue to this … I have my print_r within a post using RunPHP.

In my case i can see the output of the print_r shows that query_string is null even though my URI that i called the page with includes a query string. lots of the other values are being returned.

My URI: http://localhost/wordpress/blog/category/sidebar/register/?var=value

result of the print_r:
