How are you hosting it?

Try disabling all plugins, and going to the default theme. Upgrade to 2.0.2 following the upgrade process, and post again to report any progress.

Also, provide details on whether you can access other links in the admin interface and in the blog.

Provide details on how you are hosting WordPress.

Why not just set the domain to have a real IP and point it at the IP of your server?

> Dynamic IP

Are the permalinks the exact same on both blogs?

> Both are set to %Postname% but with different content on each blog, there are different posts..

Oh and by the way I’ve tried disabling all plugins, and using the default wordpress theme as well…

I don’t think you get it – there is no “old” site.

And cloaking does work – https://browncatbrowndog.com comes up in search engines just fine, and it’s my personal blog not even a business, so I don’t even WANT it to come up in a search engine! ??

There is only one site – old/new it’s the same thing, hosting it at the same place, my computer, but I would like to know why it will work for one installation but not another.

Please don’t bother posting here unless you are genuinely trying to help solve this – it’s kind of demeaning having posts like this.

So currently I have my WordPress address set to https://tombammann.homedns.org and blog address to https://tombammann.org.

I can use everything fine, except the URL in the URL bar gets stuck on https://tombammann.org

The URL does not ‘get stuck’ on my friends blog, but this friends blog uses the WordPress address to the equivalent of the Blog address.

Please help, I’ve searched everywhere and spent at least 10 hours troubleshooting this one… ??

Thanks in advance,
Tom

Try deleting the contents of the folder wp-content/cache/*.*, and deleting the cache and cookies from your browser.

For when I ask someone to volunteer to help me with something blog related, I go by what I call the “two sleep rule”.

That is, work on it a lot, read tutorials, etc, and have at least two sleeps before asking people to volunteer their time to help.

Sorry,

I use my ISP’s smtp server to send, with the from address a gmail address, and the to address the same (gmail) address.

Sorry I meant to give you this link:

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Links_Manager

That explains how to change the ‘before’ and ‘after’ details between links. i.e. how to change the

• before each link, or delete it totally.

Does that help?

BillyG,

I have used XAMPP and WP running from my computer for six months, regularly updating both. I used the automatic installer for XAMPP, using all the default directories. It’s worked successfully all the time, and I’ve never had any troubles (apart from right now I’m offline for a week whilst I change ISP’s). I use dyndns.org for a domain name with my dynamic IP address, and to cloak transfer other domains for other web sites I run also. I’m not sure how I can be of any help to you, and how the thread you recently posted in is relevant, but I can tell you it all works well!

I use SyndBack (free synchronisation software) to automatically backup my website(s) at regular intervals, which automatically stops the xampp/apache/mysql services whilst copying files, and reboots the computer when finished, so I’ve always got a backup copy at hand. Every couple weeks I transfer this backup to a portable hard drive in case of a power surge / theft, etc. Ideally I should store this drive off-site.

All in all, I do recommend you run your blog off your computer like myself (providing you don’t mind running it 24/7), but as for the lack of security with XAMPP that’s something I’d like to find out more about. All I can tell you is it’s so much more convenient as a novice web programmer to be able to work on your site from your computer, without having to use FTP, and the hassle’s associated with using a web host provider.

Cheers,
Tom

If you have problems with your IE, maybe scan your computer for spyware infections, etc? I’d suggest Lavasoft’s Ad-Aware Personal, and Spybot Search & Destroy.

It works fine with my IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519

Sweet that just made my day!!

I think you could be more descriptive when referring to ‘every page’ – i.e. the “WP Pages” or literally, every page that WP loads?
