it is NOT just “allow people to post comments…”

further down on the new 3.8 “NEW POST” screen are two blocks that are turned off by DEFAULT…:
“allow comments”
“allow pingbacks”

W H A T ???
nobody told me I had to add another step to make a post and then let people add comments…

Took me several hours of digging, disabling plugins, repairing DB, updating, BOY HOWDY

and all along it was a new “feature” at the bottom of the NEW POST page…

Oh well, FEDUDE above might be happy

Thanks TZDK for all your help…

Maybe the DEV will notice the code snippet above and realize that the get_post_meta is unnecessary on a blank page and fix this error

I tried to post over in the DEV DEBUG forum of this site, but I got bumped for having a double post…

Things are working for now… hope you find your GREMLIN / BUG

Trying to get property of non-object in …
/htdocs/blog/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plus/classes/actions.class.php on line 139

is the error I was getting on blank search or 404.php

it only appears if the search is empty and on the 404 page.

I commented OUT line:
137 // if ( $lightboxPlusOptions[‘fixed’] == ‘1’ ) { $lbpArrayPrimary[] = ‘fixed:’.$this->setBoolean( //$lightboxPlusOptions[‘fixed’] ); }
138 // if (!is_admin()) {
139 // $lbp_autoload = get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘_lbp_autoload’, true );
140 // if ( $lbp_autoload == ‘1’ ) { $lbpArrayPrimary[] = ‘open:true’; }
141 // }

and the error goes away…

I also tested it in the default twentytwelve theme and got the same error…

Doesn’t seem to affect the lightbox plus functions on other pages.

Any ideas??

funny
display_errors = Off is OFF in my php.ini

I used:

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wp-external-links/

works pretty well and on all the old rel=”external” links

SUPER thanks for all your help…

AGAIN …
web page works nicely and so does menu!

I called it jquery-fix-me.php uploaded to plugins, activated and ‘voila!!

I gave you credit for plugin author! addition of jquery 1.9 and migrate-jquery works just fine.

Now, if I could just fix the “lightbox-plus/classes/actions.class.php on line 139″ and convert all my old rel=”external” links and I will be set

OK…
did a google for “wordpress cannot login” and found several suggestions about blank spaces and blank lines in the PHP files. WP-CONFIG.PHP and FUNCTIONS.PHP

I found two blank spaces at the end of my functions.php and deleted them…don’t know how they got there????

!Viola!

and archives work again as well…

all this trouble for two little spaces in the php code!

oh boy…

I changed everything back to the old stuff…

Now I cannot log in to the admin!!!!

Now my menu “archives” doesn’t work…

D U D E !

I can’t believe that actually worked!

Still need a new theme , but now I have a little more time to find one.

Great advice and I will try it…

Need to get a new theme anyway…

Thankx!

thanks… almost over my head … will work through your suggestions…

tzdk:
Thanks! for all the input…

I am a cut and paste web page maker not a coder…

I think I understood all you wrote about but this:
add && !is_404() to the !is_admin() part. Will Lightbox ever load on a 404 page?

I set DEBUG OFF in the wp-config file, but the error still came up…

I don’t know why lightbox plus is looking for a IMAGE on a blank page for search.php/search anyway that causes this 139 error.

The targetblank.js file stopped working about the same time this Lightbox Plus plugin updated a couple of times.

I tried your suggestion of the snippet for the:
$(“a[rel=’external’]”).click(function(){
but it did not work on my rel=”external” links … with the targetblank.js on or off. I just went back to using “_blank” for all the links I needed for a new page. I have too many old posts with rel=external to go back and change all of them.

This maybe for a different forum post, but I load jquery/jbox/1.7 because I never got the menu in the upper right to work without it… I was never able to combine the functions inside the JQUERY
$(document).ready(function() {
$(‘#mask’).css({‘height’:$(‘#panel-1’).height()});
ETC…..

Lucky my blog works with the two JQUERY files without conflict.

Any more suggestions you could offer would be Most Appreciated!

https://www.edparton.com/blog/?s=rrrr is a link to a search that returns an error..

thanks!

Now I am getting a weird error message.
When you do a search and have several results to display the error does not appear.

It only appears when you do a SEARCH on my blog and returns a NO RESULT or blank search query…

here is the whole line from the page:

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in …/htdocs/blog/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plus/classes/actions.class.php on line 139
<!– Lightbox Plus ColorBox v2.6/1.3.32 – 2013.01.24 – Message: –>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
jQuery(document).ready(function($){

});
</script>
<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’https://www.edparton.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plus/js/jquery.colorbox.1.3.32.js?ver=1.3.32′></script&gt;

A small nuisance but I can’t find out why Lightbox Plus is giving an error on a Search and not anywhere else??

Thanks!
