In your <form> tag for the search form, make sure that the action attribute ends in a ‘/’ e.g.

<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/">

Notice that final ‘/’ after the end of the PHP tag. Also it should be an absolute URL (which bloginfo(‘home’) provides). If you specify the url manually it should also start in a ‘/’ or http ://yourdomain/wordpress ??

Hi all, I’ve had some major problems with the dashboard loading RSS feeds (90 seconds and it loaded nothing) … Now it transpires that my web host has firewall rules that prevent PHP from fopening external feeds… Maybe this is a common problem with cheap web hosting packages?

I definately think there should be an option to switch these feeds off, or maybe to load them with an XMLHTTPRequest (via a locally hosted php script)

1. Page Loads
2. HTMLHTTPRequest:
   /getRSS.php?url=https://rss.feed.address/feed.xml

That way WordPress developers could keep the feeds on by default without causing these agonisingly slow page loads…

In the mean time I’ve hacked the index.php to remove these feeds, but I’m getting on to my host to open the firewall for them…
