I’m not really a programmer (front-end guy), but I was just thinking of logic like:
If the file has a statement about WP database setting, add this line, else skip.

However, your approach with the single wp-config file with switch statements might be a more robust approach all-round, so I’ll explore that instead ??

Thanks for the suggestion!

Fair enough, but would it be possible to make the addition to the wp-config file more robust?

E.g. check that the file contains one of the standard settings before adding something to it.

This works for me, and apart from thinking that some of the tags should be disabled by default (e.g. table and form tags), I think this is how the_excerpt() should work by default!

Ach, I think I’ve worked it out. It wasn’t a database thing, it’s a browser thing.

I’d had the post open in Firefox at work, closed the browser and went home and finished it there. When I came into work and open the browser, it opened the cached version.

I”m certain I didn’t press save or publish, but I must have somehow saved the old version (pre-publish).

Something to watch out for I think!

Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for the reply, but it a virtual machine (I have root access), and my host they hasn’t touched it. Nothing else seems to be affected, it didn’t crash or go down, which is what I would expect if the host had been involved.

Apparently using an absolute path without the domain (e.g. “/folder/file.html”) prevents it.

What would be great would be something that removed the domain from any that matched my own, for links and assets (i.e. images).

I use a development environment that closely matched the live server, and it runs with a slightly different domain. Transfering sites from one place to another would be much easier if you could automatically use absolute URLs without the domain.

Yes, sorry, I’ll try and get that back up. If you want to email me in the meantime I can send you the raw php. (ac at alastc.com).

Adding this to the top of the 404 template seems to work:
<?php header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found"); ?>

Are there any problems with this approach?

This still seems to affect WordPress 2, and it makes it more difficult to regerster with Google.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks Schestowitz, although I don’t have adblock, I will try using a plain FF profile. Just strange that I can use the one on the TinyMCE site.

The BE? I’m not familiar with that…

Sorry for the delay, I’ve been away a few days. The script is here:

https://alastc.com/wordpress/navigation.txt

It produces the navigation for the site here:
https://www.ukwindsurfing.org

It’s pretty raw, and worth noting that with the Worpress install I have, you don’t need the .php extension, so I didn’t implement adding that when needed.

I added this script to the the sidebar with:
<?php include(‘/root/to/script/navigation.php’); navigation($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’]); ?>

Let me know what you think…

I followed the simple 3 step instruction to install the plugin but nothing happens at all. Not even errors.

I got that to start with because it wasn’t targetting the cache folder properly. My ‘home’ is different from the wp home, so I hard coded $cache_path.

Unfotunately, I’m on debian stable, which is pre php 4.3, so several functions dont’ work. However, I’m going to update the OS for this, it realy makes a difference!

That looks like a good way of doing it within wordpress’ artitechture, but I wanted something a bit more dynamic. I put something together that was an included file in the sidebar, described here:

Firstly, how did you find that out, that sounds very useful!

Secondly, I remember reading that Google is specifically not reading feeds, as it doesn’t fit with it’s business model.

However, if it isn’t recognising your pages, that’s bad. Do you use the nice permalinks, or does the URL query show?
