“www” breaking posts?

  • This is a frustrating little problem I figured out on accident.
    I set up the program at https://www.scruffyco.com/wordpress/
    If you go to that address, you will see that rather than the usual “Hello World” post, you will see, “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.” But if you go to https://scruffyco.com/wordpress/ you will see the “Hello World” entry.
    I’d really like for it to work whether the www is there or not (and don’t really understand why it won’t). This is the about the third time I’ve reinstalled (and yes… I completely cleared the database before reinstalling (by deleting all of the tables)). I’ve tried putting the URI in with and without the www during setup, to no avail. addition of the www to the location gets nodda each and every time.
    Any clues?

    Just an update on this odd behavior. This current installation used the “www” when I set it up. So when I log in, it logs in to https://www.scruffyco.com/wordpress/wp-admin/post.php and, of course, everything that takes place on the admin pages uses the “www.”
    Now… If I write and publish a post (you can see the test post if you go to the site without the www), it seems to ‘disappear’ from all of the admin pages. If Ilook at the “edit” tab, it says there are no posts at all. If I try to remove the www manually in my browser’s location box, it simply puts it back in.
    Even after I make a post with the www there, though… it will appear on the page just as long as I don’t put ‘www.’
    This is really bizarre to me.

    Just another update….
    I realized this is only happening in Firefox. I can’t simulate it in Safari or Camino… But it’s still doing it in Firefox. I’ve cleared the cash… I don’t know what else to do. This is getting stranger all the time. I’ve also tried going to other WP sites that have their blog on sub directories, and don’t see any problem there….
    Argh. I’m going to be bald by the time I figure this out.

    Um. Apparently it was some kind of cookie. I went in to the preferences of Firefox, and ‘cleared all’ which clear cache, history, cookies, and forms info.
    It’s working now.
    Feeling kind of silly now…
