I wonder if it’s related to the same jQuery issue as this thread?

“All Day Event” Bug in WP3.2 [with Solution]

Similar error here:

Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when safe_mode is enabled or an open_basedir is set in /nfs/c02/h12/mnt/17258/domains/designweekla.org/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/eventbrite-for-the-events-calendar/eventbrite-for-the-events-calendar.class.php on line 433

I finally tracked this down to either an old version of Askimet, or one of two files in my plugins folder I hadn’t seen before: “wp-db-backup.old” and “wp-db-backup.php.” Getting rid of those and updating Askimet (which I hadn’t updated in a long time thanks to never overwriting the wp-content folder) seemed to do the trick.

BTW, is there a way to mark this not resolved?

See this thread:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/189015

and this bug report:

https://trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/7322

I tried reopening the bug ticket, but it just got closed again and I was referred back to the forums. I guess a showstopping bug that hasn’t actually been resolved and completely prevents a user from using his WP installation isn’t actually a bug, just a support issue.

I’m experiencing this problem as well, and I’ve deleted cookies, updated the wp-config file (as described at https://trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/7322), tried the wp-login file from 2.5.1 and tried multiple browsers. Any body have any other ideas?

Your opinion of my host’s intellectual acuity is of no help. Regardless of what you think of them (and you have no idea who they are, or what I’ve discussed with them), they’ve disallowed access to files named xmlrpc.php so glib answers like “change the name back” are likewise unhelpful.

I couldn’t care less whether there’s a valid reason to rename the xmlrpc.php file unless that discussion is part of you giving constructive feedback about finding a solution or at least concretely isolating the problem. I am interested in the status of an ongoing ecto/WP issue that’s affecting plenty of other users most of which haven’t had to change a file name, which you’d know if you looked into it at all.

Thanks, Otto. Your comment is so self-satisfied and ridiculously unhelpful that it’s almost painful to read. If you decide you want to join in a productive discussion instead of using your keyboard to intellectually masturbate I’ll still be here trying to solve a problem.

One other thing…I forgot that I had to change the name of my xmlrpc.php file because of securty restrictions from my host. I changed it to “xml-rpc.com.” Is there something within the xml-rpc.php file that I need to change as well?
