Thanks Handy,

Yes, the permalinks work when I try different settings – but that particular combination of /%category%/%post_id%/ was bad for the pagination.

Since the links to different site sections were hardcoded in the header template, I simply changed the link to News to point to cat=3 instead, and it works exactly how I need it to.

Thank you for your help!

Btw – if you go to shaydoron.net, do you see the site? Because unless I’m on crack, I think it’s online. The client just emailed me and said it wasn’t, but my computer’s cache (which I’ve emptied) or brain must be playing serious tricks on me if it’s not up.

thanks

Yes, when I switch to the default, the link works. I can see the news page here:

https://www.shaydoron.net/?cat=3&paged=2

(Note they’ve been changed back to the permalinks for troubleshooting)

I know it’s a permalink issue – I did the first thing listed under the “Paged Navigation Doesn’t Work” section of the Permalinks Codex entry, but that didn’t helpl (in other words, I deleted htaccess and re-entered the permalinks)

Somebody must be using multiple pages for categories with permalinks…

Thank you, much appreciated. Marking as resolved now.

Yes, sorry, I temporarily forgot about the fact that there are two fields there that contain the url. I’d have to change both of them.

I’m waiting to set up permalinks until the switchover is done… the only thing that scares me is the fact that I’ll just have to sit back and wait while the domain resolves, and if for some reason it doesn’t work, I won’t be able to log in at all.

Do you happen to know if, in an emergency situation, the two URI fields can be found in the database and changed by hand that way? (in case I need to revert back to the old domain)

thanks for all the quick replies… Moshu also got back to me about this in the WP-Pro mailing list. Once again, I’m amazed (and RELIEVED) to learn about yet another fantastic plug-in that does exactly what I need it to do.

Thank you so much…

Thanks for the feedback. Of course, what I meant was that my knowledge of WP at this point is rather limited and that MY project is not very high-end. I’m just trying to learn along the way so I can avoid troubles in the future. I appreciate everyone getting back to me so quickly!

No problem, thank you for getting back to me. Forgive me if my reaction to the html-converted characters in the source was unwarranted – I know nobody’s going to be looking at the source, but I wondered if this might pose a problem in RSS feeds down the road (I don’t know much about RSS feeds…).

Also, despite the fact that the text is displaying correctly in the browser, I’m a little afraid of one day loading an article and seeing all sorts of strange characters.

Finally, I want to double-check: is my method of copying/pasting news articles from online sources into Notepad and using the html editor in WP the best method for avoiding copy/paste related disasters? In some cases I’ve had to manually go through and take out curly quotes in Notepad (not sure why, I thought it removed all formatting), just because I’m trying to avoid character problems down the road…

The short version: I visited some higher-end sites and didn’t see #39; in the source, so I just wanted to know what I was doing wrong.

I was wondering something along the same lines – except I was getting strange numbers in the URL, not the actual page source.

I tried to access the test blog I’ve set up at:

https://www.seimone.com/wp

and for some reason it loaded:
https://www.seimone.com/wp/?47ac2658

NO IDEA where those numbers come from. The front page DID load, but the random numbers scared me a bit.

sorry, I’m trying to grasp exactly what you mean by non-standard admin-account. I’m very new to WP (only been using it for a matter of days) and I haven’t got a firm handle on users, setting privileges, etc. What I had to do to get the workaround to work was to add a new username (which is still mine, since I’m the only one editing the site right now and I used my email address) with admin privileges.

Eventually once it comes time to add a login for the client (who is not very tech savvy) I’d like to be able to grant her access to certain areas, so she can add/edit posts and photos, etc., but not be able to mess around with any of the themes, etc… is this what you’re getting at?

Again, I’m sorry to have to ask for clarification. But I would like to do whatever will make the site most secure. thanks!

scavenger, you are my hero for the day!

It worked. I wonder if a similar fix would work for the other plugins I’ve had trouble with. ??

The funny thing is, I tried the exact same workaround last night, but it only worked this second time. I have now made two extra users beyond the original “admin” I generated for WP. Will I always have to use this 3rd username from now on?

I’m just thinking ahead for when I use this for clients… maybe I’ll have to leave the making of users until the very end of the process, once I know that all the plugins are working, etc.

thank you so much!

seimoneaugwp database does exist – and the sections I listed were the ones that showed up when I opened phpmyadmin for this particular database.

I will revisit the workaround and see if I can get it to work.

Thanks for the reply! I’m so glad my problem isn’t getting ignored. I logged into phpmyadmin and this is what I see:

wp_categories
wp_comments
wp_events
wp_link2cat
wp_links
wp_options
wp_post2cat
wp_postmeta
wp_posts
wp_usermeta
wp_users

Nothing relating to wp_mygallery at all. I’m guessing I’d have to create the table from scratch (not that I would know how to go about doing this)? Could it be something with the username that’s preventing MySQL from generating the table? Odd, since the tables for these other sections were made just fine…

I’m willing to take whatever steps necessary to learn how to go about fixing this – please let me know the next thing I should do.

thanks!

Does anyone have any insight into this problem? I’ve searched the threads and this seems to plague a lot of people, but nobody seems to know how to fix it. This is not an upgrade issue in my case, as I never had WP or any sort of database running – it was a fresh install. I tried the workaround and wasn’t able to get it to work.

The error I’m getting is:

WordPress database error: [Table ‘seimoneaugwp.wp_mygallery’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT name FROM wp_mygallery WHERE name =”pix1″

This example is from my recent attempt to install Mygallery, but I’ve gotten the same error with fGallery and a few events plugins…

any ideas? Could this be related to php memory, or do I need to change something in wp-config?
