Thanks. Yes. It’s a plug-in doing the damage. I’ve got 21 installed, so finding the right one could be difficult.

In case it helps others later, I’ll report back when I’ve tracked the cuplrit.

OK, it’s definitely not a Firefox problem. I just fixed a number of links using Internet Explorer and they changed back to relative address as before.

Any new lines of investigation?

Yes, that’s possibly the problem. I’m definitely entering absolute addresses and they are changing to relative addresses.

I’ll try editing a few in Internet Explorer to see if the problem is down to Firefox.

Did you resolve this? I’m having a similar problem see https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/311927

The links are written as absolute links. This happens somewhere after they are put on the page.

The site loads OK from outside. The links on the front page are fine. The sidebar links are fine. But if you look at this page:

https://billbennett.co.nz/2008/11/15/starting-a-business-folly-or-fortune/

The link at the bottom of the text: Bad economy good time for business start-up?

has the wrong format:

https://billbennett.co.nz/2008/11/15/2008/10/18/a-bad-economy-can-be-a-good-time-for-a-start-up-business/

It works, but it’s worrying. I think this is why I’ve been given a Google Page Rank of Zero. Previously my page rank hovered between 4 and 5.

Thanks. This hasn’t fixed the problem. I’m frightened to change the Permalink structure because there’s a redirect in place from my old WordPress.com site. But do you think this would fix things?

Yes, it’s definitely been working for me for a couple of days now. Does this constitute a resolution?

Nope, just tried that and it doesn’t work. However, I did notice an automatic update to Flash earlier today. Perhaps that’s source of my problem?

(OK, I know this goes back a couple of days but I’m in New Zealand where updates can happen much later than in the US).

My site was working absolutely fine until earlier today, when we tried uploading photos and hit the ‘Missing a temporary folder.’ message for the first time.

The site is hosted, so I can’t work the fix offered by dwj.

There is another new problem that’s possibly related.

Trying to automatically install a plug-in I get the following message:

Warning: ftp_rawlist() [function.ftp-rawlist]: Unable to create temporary file. Check permissions in temporary files directory.

Both these problems are for performing tasks that worked perfectly well until a few days ago.
