post.php download dialogue?

Options -> Writing

How many items do you have in the “Update Services” list?

What happens if you remove some (like pingomatic, for example)?

Check with your host provider to make sure they haven’t done an upgrade of some sort and wonked something that would set a .php file as being read as an html file. I’ve had that happen once, and it took me way too long to figure out what was going on.

Sorry for the delay in responding but it seems that HandySolo was spot on. Thanks for the tip.

Out of curioustity – is there any way to address this?

Use only pingomatic (assuming it’s working again – BIG assumption!) or pingoat, get rid of everything else in the field. Either pingomatic or pingoat (use pingoat, it’s better) is all you need.

This is my problem as well.

My server people tell me it’s caused by pinging, but I have now removed ALL pining services and it’s still happening.

The site doesn’t load properly in IE either. The dashboard page will load, but only the header. The contaqct of the page is almost entirely blank.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Do you have a php.ini in your root? If so, check the memory defined in it. If it’s 8M or below increase it to 16M or 20M and try that.
If you don’t have a php.ini ask your host what php memory is.

Samboll: Thank you for the assistance. I’ll be happy to pass along the comment to my host. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to check the root for php.ini.

Anybody?

NO. seriously. I cannot access my blog and I need help with this.

Suppose you go to yourblog.com/blog/wp-admin/edit.php and just bypass the dashboard. Does that get you in?

While you wait for your host to answer the earlier question, have you had a look at your apache error logs?

The host has been looking at the error logs and they aren’t seeing anything at all out of the ordinary. I’m wondering if it might have something to do with all the spam attacks. When this is going on, I get NO spam, but after it stops (on it’s own, apparently) the spam starts coming in.

And I find that I can bypass temporarily, but when I try to post, it fails.

I am having the same problem? Every time I post It saves post.php to my hard drive. This started as my blog got bigger and busier

Also getting errors if I save a post without assigning a category to the post?

Hmm,

I turned emulation on in my php.ini and it seems to have solved the problem? course what will that do for the rest of my sites?

Sorry, actually that’s not correct because I had also taken pingomatic out of the options. So it seems to be pingomatic that caused it and it was the only ping service in there?

Can you get pingoat to work in there or do you have to do it manually?

Thanks

Even worse now. I can’t get plugins to load in admin, at least not after re-loading 20 times and waiting half and hour. And now no matter what I do it always downloads some php file depending on what I am doing?

I put php.ini back to normal and took all pings out of service

Help!
