Was supposed to be 5 stars. Odd to see that it showed 5 stars… until after I post and then it didn’t…

I use XO and I needed to solve the problem with a new plugin. Create a file called:

disable-canonical-redirects.php

With the contents such:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Disable Canonical URL Redirection
Description: Disables the "Canonical URL Redirect" features of WordPress 2.3 and above.
Version: 1.0
Author: Mark Jaquith
Author URI: https://markjaquith.com/
*/

remove_filter('template_redirect', 'redirect_canonical');

?>

Install 2.7 via ftp. Add this new file to the plugins directory and activate it.

(WooT! Thanks to MichaelH and the creator of this script, Mark Jaquith, and to mrmist for the post!)

CG — maybe this?

Good golly – that was it!

Thank you so much for your help.

WordPress requirements:
PHP 4.3 or greater
MySQL 4.0 or greater

I have:
PHP 4.4.7
MySQL 4.1.22

Thanks – It gave me something else to consider.

Downgrade to 2.5 and things are OK. Upgrade to 2.5.1 and things fail again.

And don’t forget about Job C, your impending pregnancy.

Geez I hope that goes better.

The plot thickens!

Apparently I can upgrade as far as 2.5 and I still have a visible blog page in https://www.circuitgizmos.com/wordpress. When I upgrade to 2.6 then this problem rears it’s ugly head. I get dumped unceremoniously to https://www.circuitgizmos.com when I try to view the blog.

Each upgrade 2.3 –> 2.4 –> 2.5 –> 2.6 told me that it needed to update the database.

I have no idea how to find it here – was this a known problem back when installing 2.6?

Thanks, MichaelH. I appreciate your input. I have some steps I will try to take to see if I can learn any more from my setup.

Job A is interfering with Job B at the moment – so it will be much later before I can experiment. I’ll let you know what I discover.

No thanks on that generous offer, regardless of the outcome of this thread!

You are most wise.

One thing I could come up with is either a theme or a plugin doing something. Change to the WordPress Default Theme and deactivate all plugins.

Zero plug-ins, zero themes (other than default). I don’t have posts in my database (other than the default Hello World).

Then there’s the ugly thought something weird happened in the 2.2 to 2.7 upgrade.

If I uninstall everything, clear directories, and just install 2.7 I have the same issue. If I just install 2.6.5 I have the same issue. If I install 2.2 and install 2.6.5 or 2.7 “over” 2.2 I have the same issue. My only hand-edited file is wp-config-sample.php with the site-specific info added to it and saved as wp-config.php. I used the 2.2 version of that file saved to my local hard drive as a source for the specific info (which also matched the info my web provider, uh, provided) and used a text editor to copy/paste.

I can only conclude that the screw up was out of my hands.

That process should work, but success has been had by others by upgrading from 2.2 to 2.3, to 2.5, to 2.7. Ugly ugly…

Yes, that is ugly, but it might be one of the few options that I have left to me.

What are the revisions? I start at 2.2. I know of 2.6.5. Should I do all of the minor/minor revisions as well?

*sigh*

Do you get any mouse-over highlighting? Like when you mouse-over “appearance” or “Plugins” on the left side tool bar. I would guess that the highlighting is done with Java and that might be necessary for things to work right for your date edit.

That is all I can guess – I’m pushing my knowledge envelope.

Even when you hover your mouse over them?

Are you blocking script execution in your browser with something like “NoScript” or some other Java blocker?

Right here is a pic of the quick edit:

When you wake up and visit this thread – Thanks for helping.

I’ll bear your first born (which apparently men can do now – ick) if you have a dream where the solution is presented to you in large burning letters.

Extra kid if you remember it when you wake up.

Tried. Twice. I didn’t see an error, but got a directory listing instead. Put index.php back and still got only my root page.

When I had 2.2 installed, the blog was in https://www.circuitgizmos.com/wordpress where I expected. Well it was visible visiting there both directly and through the “view” link in the admin tool.

Baffling.

It says:

ForceNoProxy On

“So visiting https://www.circuitgizmos.com/wordpress should show the blog?”
Yes.

“So your wordpress/index.php file should be something like:”
Yes. No change from the 2.7 zip file.

“And there should be NO index.html in the wordpress folder.”
There is not.

“If that doesn’t solve the problem, look for problem in .htaccess.”

My what what? (And where?)

ETA: I see it now.
