Another version I tried after reading elsewhere. This one at least lets the main site work normally but gives a 404 when I try to access foo/wp-login.php

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URL} ^/foo/(.*)$
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [L]
</IfModule>

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Yeah, it’s category_orderby that’s the problem. If I have categories Bart (id 1), Lisa (id 2), and Homer (id 3), and I want Homer, then Bart, then Lisa, I can’t get it. My choices are:

B L H (id asc)
H L B (id desc)
B H L (name asc)
L H B (name desc)

Looks like my theme was stripping tags by default for the excerpt. I manually specified an excerpt instead of letting it do it, and things were better. ??

I don’t see any warnings on my feed at feedburner … so I can’t help you there with that content:encoded thing.

Edit line 50 of wordpress/wp-rss2.php to
<wfw:commentRss><?php echo comments_rss(); ?></wfw:commentRss>

It works fine, and the feeds validate again.

Actually, according to well-formed web, and a few discussions I found there, the feedvalidator.org one is correct to reject wfw:commentRSS because the correct capitilzation is wfw:commentRss.

So… consider that w3c’s validator is just based on feedvalidator anyway, and wfw is hosting the specification (that would be the wfw: part and the fact the URL points at https://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/)… I would say that this is a bug in WordPress.

Well, I copied all the files from wp-includes from a fresh install in another folder to my live site and it fixed it, although it must have been something in a subfolder, because diff on the wp-includes directory without recursion told me everything was the same…

Sadly, this broke my ability to use date and name permalinks… but numeric permalinks work OK, and I can try to fix date and name permalinks again tomorrow… seems like for everything I fix, something more breaks. ??

Heck, I can’t get mine to put *IN* the line breaks! I’ll trade you! ??

Yeah, I saw the source, my only thought was that it was being rewritten by javascript or something… I’ve been programming with AJAX for work (not on my blog) and keep going to check the source for code that’s not there due to javascript.

Anyway, the pastebin is at https://wordpress.pastebin.com/655590

Well, I ‘fixed’ the problem by editing the database. The GUID for that post was never changed. This might be a bug that change the post slug after post creation does not update the GUID. It might also be a bug that GUIDs are not being escaped properly. I’m feeling a little sick at the moment or I’d dig more, but at least this might give developers somewhere to look.

The post_levels plugin was rewriting the URLs so that (theoretically) a registered user could view protected/private posts over RSS if authenticated. I disabled its feature to rewrite feed links and it’s better now. That the feature doesn’t work is sad, but I can live without it. ??

Not if I’m logged in… if I’m logged in, it’s messed up. I tried with two different accounts, one admin and one not.

I created a test user wp_forum_test with password test123 … anybody testing can use it as needed…

I don’t know. I just switched to this hosting provider… I have no unusual plugins installed…

The only thing different about this provider than my last one is that PHP is run as a CGI under my user permissions instead of as an Apache module… and that shouldn’t make a difference.

Can you give me any idea of where to look?

I’m also using 2.02 and I can’t get the RSS to work. I get URLs like https://infocynic.opennet.us/feed/?http_auth=yes

And no authorization will work. If I remove http_auth, it works fine, but the URL is being formed by <a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>"><?php _e( 'Full' ); ?></a> … so it looks like the blog thinks that http auth should be on for rss … how can I change that short of hacking the theme file directly?

I tried 1.3.34, 2.0.55, and 2.2.0. Same problem under all of them, sadly.
