[Plugin: Gwolle-GB] 404 Error Message

Hello Voodoobanshee,

that “redirection problem”, as I call it, is (hopefully) fixed in the newest version, v0.9.4.3. Now you can easily set the URL to your guestbook manually using the Gwolle-GB setting page.

I hope that this does the job for you and liked to hear if I was able to help you.

Thanks in regards!
Wolfgang

I use 9.4.3 and I receive a “404 Error” message when I try to leave a comment.
Now my WordPress is not in the default directory, so when I use the new function “Link to guestbook”, I only need to set the “?pageID=…” instead of the full URL.

Then it seems to work fine ?

Hello Timomaas,

does that error message occur when you post the comment or when you click on “Write a new comment”?
0.9.4.3 gets the Guestbook link automatically from the address you typed in the access the guestbook, and checks it for its ending.

There are three cases it handles:
https://yoursite.com/somecategory/?p=5
=> In this case, it just appends an ‘&’ and the guestbook page, e. g. ‘gb_page=read’.
https://yoursite.com/somecategory/post-name/
=> Here it recognizes the ‘/’ at the end, and appends a ‘?’.
https://yoursite.com/somecategory
=> No ‘/’ and no ‘?’ at the end; append both.

When you set something like ‘?pageID=x’ as the guestbook, this is called a relative link. Hover the link with your mouse, and you’ll see that the browser links to something like https://yoursite.com/somecategory/?pageID=x, because you’re allready in that category ‘somecategory’. I’d like to solve that problem 100%, so I would be glad if you’d send or post the URL of your guestbook. Just ‘censor’ you domain name with ‘xx’ or so, I’m interested in the part after the domain. That would help me a lot, thanks in advance!

@gwolle
It works great now! Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the feedback!

Though some people are still getting error pages. I guess it’s because of the mod_rewrite aka “Permalink structure via .htaccess”. I read a few pages on this, and I’m going to fix this in the next release.
