This is usually due to a bad plugin and/or heavy site load.

Feel like naming names re: bad plugins? Call it community service.

It’s easy enough to turn off CSS support in your browser if you really want to. Even IE has this functionality.

4. Most users are clued enough to know how to return to a home page (assuming they care enough). Tell the person in charge that.

If your host is configured for PHP, then index.php should be there in the http.conf’s DirectoryIndex directive already. You shouldn’t need a .htaccess for it at all.

Create a hello world PHP file and call it index.php and see what happens.

<?php

echo (‘Hello World’);

?>

@chipbennett. It’s neither a WP nor a PHP thing, it’s a mod_rewrite thing. Yor URL’s are being written into human friendly URL’s by a series of rules.

The science behind it all. Good luck.

Yep, completely un-crufts it and sorts it out cleanly. Superb tool. Tidy is open source software, so you can download it and run it locally. The W3C has it there if you want ot grab it.

FrontPage makes me laugh. You know you’re in trouble when Microsoft don’t use it themselves to build pages, not even the pages on FrontPage itself. Speaks volumes ??

Ah, OK then, I like helping out because I have some grounding in PHP/MySQL based things like WP. I spent several years goofing off with PostNuke and phpBB, etc, so I’m fairly proficient in getting it all to work, one way or the other.

I still frown at some of the advice that goes on here, like setting .htaccess to world writable, but that’s me.

such as a thread topic “IE problems” and someone coming in saying “It looks fine in FF.”

LOL, that wouldn’t be a pursed-lip slight at a certain post I replied to would it? ??

OK, I must be stupid. I’m not seeing any difference between your screenshot and the site. FF 1.5.0.1

Like I wrote earlier, the main time I’ve seen a 410 used is when someone on a shared host, like a Uni or work account has deleted their stuff and the webmaster doesn’t know where they’ve gone.

They’re rare, but not unheard of. Google for “410 Gone” and you’ll find a bunch.

You have an !important CSS rule, part of your Flickr stuff, that sets the page colour and text colour the same, or inherits it from somewhere previously. The javascript it’s setting underneath that lookjs suspect as well.

Your page is all there in IE, just it’s all white.

I’m not seeing anything like that at https://goflyasite.com/blog/ in FF 1.5.0.1, Opera 8.53 or IE 6.0.

As they say in the classics, it’s just you.

However, your CSS won’t load in IE 6.0 for reasons I haven’t looked at.

In hindsight, my little AddType theory probably wouldn’t work as I’m sure not all WP pages end in .php when they’re output ot the browser, if any are at all. The directive requires a file extension to work.

Your blog is outputting UTF-8 and that’s what’s being sent to the browser, BTW, so you’ve fixed it. Your site itself is still ISO 8859-1 but that’s easily fixed as well.

I’m not seeing how this is done. There’s nothing in the permalink rewrite rules that’d change page URL’s like that. I guess it’s done from somewhere else.

It’d be fair to say most end users wouldn’t know what a 410 Gone code was, if you paid them.
