Yet another Category link doesn’t work post–but with info!

  • Hi,

    I’ve just installed wordpress. Took me about 15 minutes. Smooth as butter. Nice job!

    I’ve got an issue similar to that of others here, but have found no response that resolves my problem. I’ve searched the codex and the site to no avail, I’m hoping that some quality data might help someone help me.

    When I click on a category link, I get no content results. The header, footer and side bar appear, but no listings of my posts. The link looks like this: “https://test.wordpress.com/?cat=5”. All that appears in the side bar is the search box with the following message:

    “You are currently browsing the archives for the CSS category.”

    The archive and front page links work just fine. When I type in a search in the box, I get correct listings.

    I am editing my user default them (in this case: “/wp-content/themes/frank-marion/”). I have all the files that are included in the default user setup, and they appear to match the set up in “/wp-content/themes/default/”.

    I have edited the header and footer extensively while being careful not to mess with any native code. I have made the minor adjustment in the rest of the files by moving the include for the side bar directly below the include for the header as such

    <?php get_header(); ?>
    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

    I have no plug-ins activated.

    I don’t think the issue has anything to do with Apache 2.x, MySQL 4.x, PHP 5.x or the browsers. I’m not a PHP expert, but I’m experienced with server side scripting.

    Can anyone suggest a solution to the issue, or offer a pointer in the right direction?

    Please see my url for clarification. Note: please remove the space from the url. It’s there to avoid getting the attention of crawlers and search engines.

    Thanks!

    But wait! There’s more. For only $2.99 and a view of the source, you can see that it still cuts off, it just cuts off after the article listing has been served. Bizzar. I’m installing etherial and checkin out what’s going on with useneybinaries.com (IP: 64.20.39.27)

    It looks like your sidebar is doing something weird, do you mind copying your sidebar.php to a file named sidebar.phps to allow me to look at the source to save cluttering the post here with the source? Do you have any stats services that you use or anything like that?

    As such? https://zeph.dnsalias.com/wordpress/sidebar.phps

    Can you do the same with your archive.php? Your sidebar looks fine so I’m thinking there is an extra curly bracket somewhere either in your archive.php or your header.php.

    I have done so with each theme based PHP file. Use the address given above and append the filename.phps

    I’m getting close to stumped on this one… It gets to just before<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>Pages</h2>' ); ?> in sidebar.php and then dies when viewing categories, what happens if you remove that line temporarily from sidebar.php? Does it get further?

    All right now! That causes the whole page to render. That appears to be where the blockage is.

    Evidently the list of articles, doesn’t show up, but the bugger is being traced down.

    What pages (Manage / Pages) do you have? Just the Acknowledgements one that I saw earlier?

    I don’t know what within that function would cause the page to stop rendering.

    OK. Strange. Updating the article with the word “test” caused the template to break again. Deleting the article causes things to render correctly. Adding a new article causes it to break again.

    The same occurs regardless of the template that I assign on the admin side. And occurse with one or more articles.

    Time for a info.php in that directory with:

    <?php phpinfo(); ?>

    To look at the server settings.

    If I delete the contents of page.php, the same issue occurs. So I’m going to guess that is not the page itself.

    Done. (Cool!)

    what is the link to the info.php?

    Thread Starter frankmarion

    (@frankmarion)

    Any page. It’s at the bottom of footer.php
