Hi bcbccouk,

Kind of the same here. The bcbc.co.uk link leads to a page with an error message “The page you were looking for was not found.”

The search function on the home page returns an empty search result on “fotobook”. It looks like the page has been removed.

So, I would have the same request as Joel’s and see whether it would be possible for you to share the hack either on this thread, or privately.

Many thanks,

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Ahmed,

Thanks for your feedback. But your suggestions does not answer my question (sorry). I am trying to ‘break’ the long lists into several columns of a table.

Meaning that for instance when column A, cell 1 reached (say) 50 records, it will create a second column B (to the right of column A). When columnB, cell 1 reaches 50 records, it’ll create another third column C to the right of column B. When column C reaches its 50 records, it’ll create a second row column A cell 2… ans so on and so forth.

I can only see a PHP query being able to handle this, similar to the one shown in the thread I referred to in my original post above.

Many thanks,

Cheers,

Thanks whooami – any idea as to where I can read about their function? I can see they are related to the site RSS activities but beyond that I’d like to find out a bit more…

Cheers,

Hi Kesseret,

Thanks for the time to reply to this post. I did all you explained but in the end, nothing I did worked. It took a complete re-install of 2.8.6 to kick-start the whole thing again. It all seems stable at the moment… Fingers crossed ??

Cheers,

This should do the trick:

<?php print string_limit_words(get_the_excerpt(),35); ?>

where 35 is the number of words you want to display

To those who will be viewing this thread, the answer was… obviously:

<?php print strip_tags(string_limit_words(get_the_excerpt(),35)); ?>

Hi all,

Unfortunately after deleting all the ‘rss_’ files via phpMyAdmin, the status of the site was kindda identical: When FeedWorldPress is activated, the site times out and/or returns a 500. When FeedWorldPress is deactivated, the page loading and rendering go as far as the first <?php if (is_syndicated()) : ?> call is made and stops right there, leaving a partially rendered page. When rechecking wp_options, several ‘rss_’ files were already created, so FeedWorldPress was still pulling the feeds, but that didn’t translate into a displayed feed content.

Of course the cache was cleared. I also deleted the plugin and reinstalled it, but to no avail. The site behaviour remains the same (as described above).

Any advice as to what my next step(s) should be? I am a tad desperate now since my site is built around FeedWorldPress to work properly. If I cannot fix this, it would imply either replacing FeedWorldPress with another plugin to perform the same functions (although I haven’t seen one around that performs all those functions), or redesign the site almost in its totality, which of course I would rather avoid…

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Cheers,

Olivier

OK – I’ll try that Esmi – Thanks for the explanation. have PhpMyadmin plugin installed… Let’s see where that leads to…

Yes I did. That Twitter app was not a WP one, so I simply deleted the code. I have also removed all plugins to see if one of them created the problem. After doing that, only the header of my blog would show, and nothing below it. Went through the painful process to reactivate each of the plugins to see if a particular one is the culprit.

It’s my FeedWorldPress RSS aggregator, as when reactivated, I get the 500 again. I think it’s in relation to way it’s handling Magpie and the caching process. But I am really out of my depth here… So disappointing…

I found the following quote from some one who loks like had the same issue: “The fix for this is relatively simple: delete every option_name in wp_options that begins with ‘rss_'”. But I do not know how to do that. maybe some one can explain, so that I try to implement that fix and see if it solves the issue.

Many thanks,

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Esmi,

Thanks for this, but no joy…

Last thing I was working on was adding a Twitter app https://twitter.com/goodies/widget_search. It was working, until suddenly the site stopped with that error.

It wasn’t a WP plugin and I do not use Supercache (I was told it’s know for generating that error). I have contacted the host provider, Network Solutions but they take time to reply. I don’t think they’ll find anything because the root URL works https://www.dombey.com. It’s the blog URL that doesn’t work anymore https://www.dombey.com/blog/ and all other sub-directories below that.
I did not touch the .htaccess file. And cannot attach it to this thread as it is not a valid file; but when I open it using Dreamweaver, here is what I read:

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

# END WordPress

That’s it. It’s chmod 664

??

Thanks for your feedback guys – most appreciated.

Cheers,

Follow-up:

I also tried to add the following code to the function.php file, but it crashed it…

<?php if ( is_syndicated() ) {
	function new_excerpt_length($length) {
	return 35;
}
	add_filter('excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length');
}
endif ?>

Any ideas on how to resolve the issue described in my initial post?

Many thanks,

Cheers,

Olivier
