Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Page Links Not Workingi just setup a virtual machine with a new LAMP & WP install. this install works. not sure if the problem lies with WP or Apache. I compared setting & conf values and everything seems to be the same. Obviously it isn’t but I’m not sure what the cause is.

i followed the install direction below. i’ve done many, many times in the past and never seen issues like this. is this something new with WP?

In reply to: [Twenty Nineteen] Theme Errorsinteresting because my site does not look like the demo at all.
Here is a screen capture of what I’m seeing: http://wittfamily.com/images/site-err.jpg
Notice that the graphics are missing. I’ve tried this on various browsers and from various PC and I see the same result everywhere.

In reply to: [Twenty Nineteen] Theme ErrorsClean install of WP 5.0 on Ubuntu 18.04. Site works but when the Twenty Nineteen theme is activated the site display is totally broken. Looks like the images are not displayed among other issues. I enabled debug but got nothing. Switching to Twenty Seventeen allows the site to display correctly. I would expect that on a clean install the new theme work just work.

Forum: Developing with WordPress
In reply to: Post tags (get_the_tags & has_tag)I actually debugged this and found the problem. It is directly related to creating a post via the REST API.
I have found that when a post is created via the REST API that the hook callbacks happen in a different order from a post created with the admin UI. Specifically when the REST API calls wp_insert_post the data does not include any tags passed in via the JSON data. This means that if a plugin has a publish_post action set and needs to query the tags for the new post it will always fail. Setting a set_object_terms action and querying for the tags gives the right result. The problem is that the set_object_terms action happens AFTER the publish_post action. It is expected that when the publish_post is called that the tags are available for the new post.
SOLVED.
The problem turned out to be URL rewrite failing due to a permissions configuration problem. On a Windows server the default PHP.INI settings and directory permissions are wrong after installation and MUST be corrected. One I fixed this and corrected the bad ACLs on the currently uploaded photos everything works fine.

In reply to: Install Step 2 FailsYes. I have tried both root and another user with full privs.
Regardless of whether the user has the right privs or not the software should NOT fail like this. If the user is not configured right then an error message to that effect should be given.
In my case it just flat fails. From the Apache error logs it looks like some child process is crashing, maybe Apache, but the log messages are less than clear.
