NOT QUITE RESOLVED — are there general theme(s) compatibility issues that might explain this?

Hello Web Era,

Thanks for suggesting this. I disabled all plugins and I discovered one that was preventing the tabbing from Text to Visual. (SocialGrid by Micheal Whalen).

I am now able to create NEW hypertext links as normal …. but … as soon as I save the post as a draft or publish it, the links become uneditable again. I can, though, still modify the links in Text mode.

This “solution” has worked on all 3 “Elegant Themes” branded themes I use: eGallery, Lumin and Basic.

So …. even with ALL plugins disabled I still have the issue of existing posts not allowing me to edit hypertext links.

In Perusing the WordPress support site, there is multiple mentions of themes not being compatible with WP3.5. I’m wondering if this might be the case here, as I’ve disabled all plugins on 3 sites and yet I still have some symptoms.

This said, I’ve not read anything on Elegant Themes support that would indicate this as a general cause, or at least address my symptoms.

Can you tell me if I am missing something here? I don’t know what to do at this point!

Thanks once again!

OK now — I have solved the issue.

My index.php in my subfolder was directing specifically to the subfolder (/blog/blog2). Specifying the very directory you are in I guess is not kosher in PHP.

I’m not a programming expert – but I think this redundancy was screwing things up. I realized that if admin.php could load properly for the second blog then something simple was wrong in index.php of the second blog. So .. I removed the path to “blog2” which removed the confusion where to look for wp-blogheader.php (at it is in the same directory) and it works.

So … case solved. Gotta love the simple fixes – whew.

Hello again,

I created a new forum topic for my query here.

I will leave this thread unresolved as that’s how I found it.

Sincerely,

Hello!

I have searched for a solution to my problem in the WP forums so I’d very much appreciate you input to my situation (and thank you in advance!):

I want to install a separate, second blog within my domain. My initial blog is installed within a subdomain and when I set itcup I I copied index.php and .htaccess to the root directory of my server to make it work (per WP’s instructions).

I created a new subdomain for my second blog and I decided to create a new SQL database and separate WP install.

I read the forums and the oft-quoted Installing Multiple Blogs codex, most attempts at multiple WP installations seek to use one database.

I have found that although my first blog continues to “work” when linked from the primary domain (blog.com) the second blog (blog.com/blog2) won’t work – I get a blank screen. This is despite the fact I ensured that blog2 has its’ own index.php and of course, custom wp-congfig file for the second database.

How can I get both blogs to work? I still want my primary blog to work from the primary URL, and the second blog to be invoked when the subdomain is entered.

I am quite confident the issue is the index.php file in the root (that’s necessary to get my primary blog to invoke); if I edit that file to direct to blog.com/blog2, then the second blog functions and the primary blog crashes. There must be a way to edit index.php to make both function. Or …it’s possible that .htaccess is to blame here but I don’t understand its functionality.

Index.php in the root seems to be what’s messing things up here, but you have to have it – can anyone suggest what to do here?

Thank you!

Hello Alex,

I’ve been patiently waiting for a fix here – I was hoping someone might have figured out the bug that keeps slideshows from showing after the upgrade to WP 2.9.1 I’ve downgraded to an older version of NextGen to keep it working but I’d like to stay current with your updates.

This seems like a fairly significant issue as the slideshows are such a popular component of this plugin.

Can we expect a fix to this anytime soon? Is it on anyone’s radar?

Thanks – I know you have time demands as this is not your full-time gig.

Greg
