enable sending referrers

    I recently updated to WordPress 2.0.2 via Dreamhost’s one-click install page, and ever since I’ve done that, all my users whenever they try to write a post, and they submit it, it yields a “Sorry, you need to enable sending referrers for this feature to work.” I’ve done everything that the link it provides recommends me to do, and it’s still not working.

    I just realized that it’s not just for posting, it’s for editing any settings at all. I just tried to update someone’s password manually, and it yields the same “Sorry, you need to enable sending referrers for this feature to work.” Any help is appreciated.

    Apparently this guy:

    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/26241?replies=6#post-360793

    has the same problem. I read on another post that the person had changed in their settings to automatically remove the “www” if that is typed into the URL, and that’s what caused it. I did this, last night, and that could be the source of the problem. I just went back to the old feature, and I’ll post back to see if that’s what caused it. Other than that, I’ve tried everything on codex.www.ads-software.com/Enable_Sending_Referrers link, that’s the one I was referring to in my original post.

    That was the problem, enabling the removal of the “www” from the URL screwed it up.

    Hi, I have the same problem. What do you mean by “enabling: the removal of the “www”..?
    My subdomain doesn’t have a “WWW”
    What exactly should I be putting in the URL fields?
    Thanks

    I have the same problem. I have script that redirects everything mydomain.com to www mydomain.com.
    If I remove it, AND temporarily delete my htaccess file, then I no longer receive this error….. still have not found a solution yet.

    Take that back. I finally figured out the problem.
    Before installing WordPress through cPanel on my web server, I created the subdomain “echo”.
    So then I had “echo.mydomain.com”.
    Next, I went into cPanel (Fantastico), went to WordPress, then went to “new installation”.
    It asks me which directory I want to install the blog, however it only gave me the option of creating the blog in a folder and not in a subfolder. Well, the way cPanel was setup, the subdomain “echo” was actually a folder in the root directory.
    So, that’s how I set it up: “mydomain.com/echo”.

    Somehow, this confused WordPress when it was trying to access files. So I told htaccess to redirect “echo.mydomain.com” to “mydomain.com/echo”. Now it works.

    If it helps, another problem I was having before fixing this was after logging in it tried to go to “/echo/2Fecho2Fwp-admin2F”. I have no idea where the “2F” came from, but it was obiously adding my blog name twice to the url.
