I recently experienced this myself with the latest version of WP.

It turns out that it is a bug. Attachment links do not work properly unless you give the uploaded image a title.

Here is the bug report: https://trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/5080

The bug was originally for PDF uploads not working when a title was skipped, but notes further down explain that it also prevents attachment images (linked to page) from working.

A patch was submitted, but it did not resolve the image issue.

Now that the bug is known, I am sure it will be fixed ??

Well, where were you when I first noticed this post? ??

j/k – Nice work! ??

Post history is a good idea as well. I suppose I could set up options so the user can decide what gets logged.

I am certainly going to continue with this – once I get a few other things finished up ?? Stay tuned!

When you say the page goes blank – if you view the source of the page, is there absolutely nothing there?

Do you have any plugins installed?

Did you configure the general options under WordPress for your site and blog url?

I have seen a lot of things with WordPress, but never a blank page unless there was some sort of plugin involved. Either that, or a problem with the settings.

I was going to suggest a few things before I noticed that last post. *sigh*

The plugin is just about complete, but there is still more to be done. Here is some sample data from the log file. It should be pretty self-explanatory:

LOGIN ATTEMPT [user: ] [pass: NO]
ERROR: The username field is empty. ERROR: The password field is empty.
LOGIN ATTEMPT [user: test] [pass: NO]
ERROR: The password field is empty.
LOGIN ATTEMPT [user: test] [pass: YES]
ERROR: Invalid username.
PASS RECOVERY ATTEMPT [login: test] [email: [email protected]]
ERROR: Invalid username / e-mail combination.
LOGIN ATTEMPT [user: admin] [pass: YES]
LOGIN SUCCESS [user: admin]

Each line is prefixed with the date, time, and ip of visitor of course.

Right now logging is just done to a data file, but a table in the database is certainly an option. I was also thinking about a nice log viewer in the admin panel.

So does anyone think they would find this useful? If so, I will continue with it ??

Things are looking good – I have the plugin currently logging all login attempts, as well as attempts to use the lost password form. Now I just need to get it to log a few more useful things ??

Nice idea – I will look into that one ?? At least something to keep track of logins and failed attempts.

Couldn’t you just manually edit the sidebar file for that then?

Strange – can I see a link?

What did you have in mind, as far as updating the meter?

Were you using any special plugins to handle comments on the site? Or recently make any changes to the theme?

I do not believe WordPress.com gives you FTP access, or the ability to install custom plugins.

WordPress.com is great if you just want to easily set up a basic blog, but if you need full customization, plugins, etc.. you would need to setup a hosting account with someone, and install the standard version of WordPress.

One option would be install a RSS aggregator script on your website, which would take the feed from your WordPress blog and display it. There are a lot of different ones out there. I have used one called Magpie in the past, which works very well:

https://magpierss.sourceforge.net/

It is fairly easy to set up and start using. Here is a very basic usage example:

<?php
require_once 'rss_fetch.inc';

$url = 'https://yoursite.com/rss';
$rss = fetch_rss($url);

foreach ($rss->items as $item ) {
	$title = $item[title];
	$url   = $item[link];
	echo "<a href=$url>$title</a>";
}
?>

It is also possible to do this with just a little custom code, as explained here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/110780

The cache is very likely.

As far as you header file, that is fine. I had noticed the link to the CSS file did not use the www, but it sounds like it was using a function to generate the url, instead of it being hard-coded, so as soon as you changed the option, this was updated as well ??
