Press This 404 issue

  • I’m having trouble getting “Press This” working on the new WordPress 2.6. I get a 404 error every time. I’m thinking this is a relative path issue, but I could be wrong. Every time I click my created “Press This” bookmark, it gives me the 404 message for whatever site I’m trying to blog about. If I go to a Fox News article and click it, I get a 404 message FROM Fox News.

    I really want to get this feature working! Gah… this is frustrating

    I attempted a search (“404 press this”), and I didn’t find anything. Would you be so kind as to supply the link? I appreciate the help.

    Please, can’t somebody help address this issue?

    Perhaps if I add more details…

    When I try to use “Press This!” when at the page https://www.sample.com/articleIWantToBlog, I’m redirected to https://www.sample.com/articleIWantToBlog/MYWORDPRESSSITE/wp-admin/press-this.php etc.

    It’s a problem with relative/full path directors. I just need to figure out why the booklet tries to access the press-this.php file at the site I’m visiting.

    Please help!

    Try this.

    It has to do with the URI Encoding getting mixed up with the mod_rewrite…

    the part where it says u='+e(l.href)+' change it to u='+e(l.href.replace(/\//g,'\\/'))+'

    so my ‘Press This’ code would be
    javascript:var d=document,w=window,e=w.getSelection,k=d.getSelection,x=d.selection,s=(e?e():(k)?k():(x?x.createRange().text:0)),f='https://wealthhack.com/wp-admin/press-this.php',l=d.location,e=encodeURIComponent,g=f+'?u='+e(l.href.replace(/\//g,'\\/'))+'&t='+e(d.title)+'&s='+e(s)+'&v=2';function a(){if(!w.open(g,'t','toolbar=0,resizable=0,scrollbars=1,status=1,width=720,height=570')){l.href=g;}}a();void(0);

    For my blog WealthHack.com your blog wil have your domain in the Press This link.

    I don’t know about anyone else, but qvprof’s solution worked for me. Thanks qvprof!

    *Thank You* qvprof! That little snippet made it work ?? The “page not found” has been driving me nuts. This will work, but it still doesn’t pick up the page url. I’m still going to checkout the QuickPost plugin.

    Thanks again for sharing a workable solution!!

    Ya. This looks promising. So, is someone going to create a patch of some sort for this problem? I have no idea where to go to fix the code mentioned above.

    If you could point me in the right direction, that would be cool.

    Thanks in advance.

    This worked perfectly for me. Thanks for your help.

    Is this in the press-this.php? I don’t see this code anywhere in that file. Where do I go to change this? Thanks again.

    I’ve been trying to fix this bug for a while. Qvprof’s fix worked for me. The key is also to make sure that the script has your domain name after the “f=”. Previously, it just had the wp-admin bit, which was trying to call up the admin page from the site I was wanting to blog about. Thanks for helping, qvprof!
