I have managed to resolve this for myself.

I was tooling around, and fooled around with a few settings. Seems that when the newest WP version needs to be set to full text render to recognize the more tags as we are used to.

WP Dashboard > settings > reading > For each article in feed show > and switch the radio button to “full text”.

That fixed it for me.

Hope that helps someone else!
Cheers!

Just would like to add my hat to the ring.

Exact same problem. Not finding solutions.

It seems that when you add a

<!-- more-->

Tag to your entry, it gets crunched into

<span id="more-###"/>

Where ### is a unique ID for that particular entries tag.

Any thoughts out there? We seem to be dealing with a fairly widespread bug here.

Has anyone had any luck addressing this? I am currently wrestling with this myself.

UPDATE : It seems that if you use the pagemash plugin to hide pages, then the menu does not render them, but Safari does.

Hope that helps fellow wp geeks straight that out.

worked a charm! Thank you!

UPDATE:

I had a thought that this may be a problem with the particular theme I am using. I tried switching to one of the two default themes, but the same problem exists. The URL of the private page renders properly in FF, but not Safari.

Thoughts?

Well being prompted to download wp-login.php tells me that the page is being mishandleded by your browser.

Have you recently updated/installed the WP framework?

Has wordpress ever worked on this server?

Have you set read/write permissions on the server?

That is a an issue with the CSS (cascading style sheet).

In whatever theme you are working in, there is a file called (something).css [usually style.css, but could be different].

You have to edit that file to change most of the appearance aspects of the blog.

Hold on a sec, has WP been installed successfully?

What is the exact phrasing of the error you get when it asks you to

“download wp-login.php “?

I just ran into this problem.

It is not a wordpress issue. It is actually a site host issue.

What is basically happening is that the site server is looking for a default page to render. In the case of wordpress that file is

index.php

Often times that file is not listed as a default page to look for. So the server goes through its list of default pages, and can’t find index.php. So it throws an error.

The solution is simple. Go into your webhosts control panel, and find where to edit the IIS settings. A subsection of that should be something like “default pages”. Once in there, add the page “index.php” to the list, and you should be golden.

Cheers!

I have JUST finished wrestling this problem to the ground.

I had the exact same symptoms. All WP DB access actions were working just fine, but when it came to editing WP filed directly, nothing seemed to work!

I used Filezilla to change permissions to the very unwise, but shotgun solution of “777” for ALL WP files.

Nadda.

Turns out the solution was that filezilla is not very good at changing permissions correctly. I had to go in through the Control center for my web server to edit permissions in order to get it all sorted.

Hope that helps someone else in the same boat!

Well let me ask you all this….

Would you suspect this is a CSS issue? Or a php issue? Or maybe a gremlin issue? Shall i cleanse with fire? Or shall i cleanse with bleach?

Thanks.

Anyone?

I have done some diagnostics, and it seems that the original theme (before being edited) also suffers from the same problem.

I am fairly confident that the problem lies in the comments.php file, the code is attached

<?php // Do not delete these lines
	if ('comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))
		die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');

	if (!empty($post->post_password)) { // if there's a password
		if ($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) {  // and it doesn't match the cookie
			?>

<p class="nocomments">This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.
<p>
  <?php
			return;
		}
	}

	/* This variable is for alternating comment background */
	$oddcomment = 'alt';
?>
  <!-- You can start editing here. -->
  <?php if ($comments) : ?>
<h5>
  <?php comments_number('No Responses', 'One Response', '% Responses' );?>
  to “
  <?php the_title(); ?>
  ”</h5>
<ol class="commentlist">
  <?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
  <li class="<?php echo $oddcomment; ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>"> <cite>
    <?php comment_author_link() ?>
    Says: </cite>
    <?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
    <em>Your comment is awaiting moderation.</em>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <small><a href="#comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>" title="">

  <?php /* Changes every other comment to a different class */

</form>
<?php endif; // If registration required and not logged in ?>
<?php endif; // if you delete this the sky will fall on your head ?>

Any thoughts as to what may be breaking it?
