Three problems with established WordPress install

  • I’ve been running WordPress at https://www.drewvogel.com since June 2005 on my FC5 box but since installing 2.0.4 I’ve been having trouble in the following areas:

    1. The ability to post comments seems to have disappeared. If a user visits a single-view page, the comments dialog … just isn’t there. Even for me as admin, it’s not there.

    2. I’ve got my Permalinks set to Custom and “/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/”. As long as I do not visit Options->Permalinks, my site functions as expected. However, if I visit Options->Permalinks, my site’s permalinks stop functioning unless I set them to the default (I don’t even have to click “Update Permalinks Settings”; just visiting the page breaks it), which breaks internal links in my site. This is 100% reproducable.

    I’ve replaced the classes.php and functions_post.php files with the latest copies in this thread (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/54340/page/2?replies=52) and done all the steps here: codex.www.ads-software.com/Permalinks#Fixing_Permalink_Problems . I’ve followed all the steps on https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Permalinks#Fixing_Permalink_Problems , but my .htaccess is still never updated.

    3. I’ve got WP-Cache (2.0.17) installed on my machine, but I’m not sure if it’s working or not. From Ricardo’s documentation and my own previous experience, I expect that WP-Cache adds two lines to the bottom of cached pages: “This first time WP-Cache will add a line with the total time needed to create the page, if the page is directly served from the cache, it adds a second line telling it was served from cache.”. However, on my site, only the first line is added (“<!– Dynamic Page Served (once) in 0.484 seconds –>”), but the second line is never added and the cached pages just pile up in /wp-content/cache.

    These are extremely frustrating issues! Can anyone help with any of them? Thanks in advance!

  • I’m at a loss: I’m wondering if mod_rewrite is configured/enabled correctly, but I have no idea of how you can check that. You manage your own server, right?

    As to wp-cache, I’ve run out of ideas. Perhaps try the author’s site at https://mnm.uib.es/gallir/wp-cache-2/ (pasteing again for convenience).

    If you’re not getting anywhere with that, perhaps come back with a more detailed description of server/OS/versions.

    Thank you for your time and assistance. I very much appreciate them.

    I manage my own server, and I believe mod_rewrite is configured correctly (because my “Almost Pretty” permalinks work), but, like you, am not certain how to check it. If I do a phpinfo(), I see “mod_rewrite” listed under ‘Loaded Modules’, so I assume it’s being loaded.

    I’ll try the author’s site for continued assistance with wp_cache. Hopefully, he can shed some light on it and we can get it working properly.

    Just to spark discussion, I’m running Fedora Core 5 with all the latest updates on an Athlon box, kernel 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5.
