Thanks!

Can you also do this for the domain arvedgrass.com? It was hijacked several months ago, and I get Jetpack notices every time the hijacker’s site has a hickup.

Thank you.

Thanks. That gets rid of the HOME title. Any hints on what to change to get rid of the space and underline where the HOME used to be?

Here’s the test site:

https://test.I-Do-Photography.com

Sorry that I need the hand-holding. ??

Thanks for blowing me off. Turnabout is fair play. I’ll be planning to abandon Photocrati from my website ASAP.

Is there a plug-in (Retina 2x, Simple WP Retina, others?) that will work with NextGEN Gallery (or Pro) or the Photocrati theme to serve hi res images to HiDPI displays (i.e. Retina, Samsung Galaxy S III, ‘S IV, ‘Tab 4/Nook…).

HiDPI is here and growing fast. If there’s a plug-in that will work today and give us HiDPI support in NexGEN (with or without Pro) and/or Photocrati, we won’t have to wait on updates.

As photographers, we want our images to look their best. HiDPI support is critical to that goal. I dare say, more than anything else NexGEN can provide over it’s competition.

The code seems to be relatively simple, but I last coded (in Fortran) 30+ years ago. I understand it might not be a big priority for the developers (looking at all the other feature requests being looked at), so if a plug-in will work, that’s one less thing we all have to worry about.

I had created a page by that name first. When I realized my mistake in not creating a page, I deleted the page and created the post. The problem is that the deleted page hung around in the trash, evidently reserving the permalink. When I created the page by the same name, WP was confused and tried to use the permalink already in use (to the page in the trash). Only by permenantly deleting the page could I free up the permalink to be used by the post.

I get confused by the difference between page and post. There are a lot of resources on the internet to help explain the differences, and how you’d use one or the other. It’s tough sometimes for me to make the right choice when my mind is reeling with the stuff I want to write about. I get so fixated on the product I lose sight of the process.

I think I found the problem.

There WAS a page by the same name/same permalink. Once I permenently deleted it from the trash, everything works as expected.

Thanks again, Kurt, for all your help, and sticking through it to resolve the issue.

Thanks again, Kurt.

New post creates a good permalink. I’m positive now that the problem is using a permalink to a page (rather than a post) that’s been deleted.

Other than not using that permalink, I’m not sure what to do to rectify the situation. Note that when I resaved the article I got a new Shortlink, but even the new shortlink gets resolved to the FUBARed permalink, even when permalinks are in default mode – i.e. using the shortlink as the permalink.

That’s why I think there must be a table or file involved for the redirection. Does this mean it’s related to .htaccess? That’s the only other reference I’ve been able to find on permalink/shortlink issues.

Thanks Kurt.

I tried that:

1. Disabled all plugins
2. Changed theme from VERYPLAINTXT to TWENTYTEN
3. Redid the set Permalink to Default.

So this should be a very basic installation of WP, right?

Open the home page in a seperate browser window. Click on title of latest blog post, and get a “not found” error page.

4. Opened up last post in editor, and update. In now gives me the permalink as https://arvedgrass.com/?p=599 (incremented by 1)

Clicking on the title, it still generates a not found error – the link is still to the permalink https://arvedgrass.com/three-barrels-of-steam/. So I manually put in the new permalink given in step 4. This gets resolved to https://arvedgrass.com/three-barrels-of-steam/, with the predicted “not found” error page.

I repeated all the above with two other themes: TWETNTYELEVEN and the Default theme.

Is there a file or a table WP uses to resolve permalinks? A file I could edit (I presume), but a table – I’d need a utility to edit the database.

Thanks Kurt.

I tried that, but it’s not working. I got the message “Permalink structure updated” each time I tried, but it still behaves the same.

If it helps, https://arvedgrass.com/?p=589 resolves to https://arvedgrass.com/three-barrels-of-steam/, but the landing spot is still a “Page Not Found.”

I thought this be a bug with WP 3.5.1? All my permalinks to posts made prior to the upgrade still work fine, but I made a test post, and it worked fine.

I may have had a page (as opposed to a post) by the same shortlink name some time ago, but that page is now gone, so I can’t be sure. Could that shortlink name be somehow floating around in my database’s ether? Is there a way to manage that database, and purge old entries?

Still not solved.
