Unfortunately yes, if I had it my way – we would be on Apache. I miss having an .htacess file.

Figured it out. Basically, one of our editors pasted in copy from Microsoft Word – our server freaked and thought it was a virus. We removed the .myd file and all was good.

The reference I used to figure this out.

We deleted the file and have now excluded this folder from our McCaffe scan.

All entries are now categorized and all category issues have been righted instantly after deleting that file.

Thanks. Hope this helps someone some day ??

No, that didn’t work.

I’m running these on an IIS server if this helps.

It is happening to all installations, even the older ones. Anything that references a category. I did find an error generated on one such older installation:

WordPress database error: [Can't create/write to file 'C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\#sql_724_0.MYD' (Errcode: 17)]

Looked inside that folder and it’s garbled wordpress code – no specific page. Just looked like a dump of one site’s code.

I’m not sure when it happened, but the first thing I did this morning (without opening up the site first) was try to pull in a category ID on a single template.

I had:

$cat = get_the_category(); $cat = $cat[0];

then added: global $cat = $cat[0];

because the scope wasn’t working. The article page did go white due to a php error. But this category problem could have been happening before and I wouldn’t have noticed it.

Please, please help!

I’m having the same issue. Is there anything I can do?

@ArakonKaizen- what option_name are you referring to? I can’t access my admin screen at all so I wouldn’t be able to activate the plugin. I’m also on IIS and never had the fancy permalinks enabled (if that makes a difference).

Anyone? I’m thinking this is a security issue if I leave commented out.

It’s weird… because I have other WP installations on the same server that doesn’t have this problem.

This didn’t work for me – I think because I updated the wp-config file prior to upgrading… I don’t remember what version of WP it was but it didn’t have any secret keys. I thought adding them before the install would be better… apparently not. I’ve done everything stated above, but no luck.

Ah, but it wasn’t published – my bad.

Thanks so much Otto42!

I do have a Page created… when I went to select it from Settings – that option isn’t there.

I am curious about this as well. Any ideas?

I have been looking for something like this forever – thank you so much!

No, your query string should override that. Something must be up with your query.

I’d use query posts – https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/query_posts

See for a fix.

installing the advanced tinymce plugin will fix this.
