Anybody else experiencing/experienced this? I’ve also tried different URLs for the feed but none work…

Right… logging in/out and clicking around has somehow managed to fix it.

Thanks for looking at it with me.

it is repeatable though… i’ve repeated it in several machines, on IE6 and IE7, FF2 and FF1.5

The exact same URLs showing completely different content when the only variable that has changed is the user agent.

This topic just made me think it’s to do with being logged in. So I logged into WP on IE7 and now the home page shows the static page correctly but the blog page is blank.

Would you say it’s a theme issue? That’s my feeling now..
EDIT: not a theme issue, just remembered I already tested this with classic WP theme

So can I ;o)

Strange… I’m getting the issue on every PC in the office (all on separate IP addresses)

Have you heard of any WP bug like this? Or anything vaguely similar?

Are you certain that those categories do actually exist? Check the Manage > Categories screen to make sure they’re all there. If not, add them and make sure they get added.

Sure… Home page is at the root:
https://new.clickthrough-marketing.com

which should be showing the static page..

and the blog home is at
https://new.clickthrough-marketing.com/blog

Both these URLs incorrectly show the same page in IE7

I’ve been crawling the forums still on this and one thing that was mentioned (although I’m unsure as to how relevant it was) is that this could be a bug with WP.

Does anyone know if this might be the issue here, and if so, is there a fix available?

I have the exact same issue.. but with Internet Explorer 7! I have a custom theme so I tried it with the default WP theme and I get the same issue.

My static page (called ‘home’) appears as the home page correctly in Firefox. I then have a page called ‘blog’ which I have set to be the main blog page.

In IE, going to the root of the site shows the ‘blog’ page, not the ‘home’ page.

I’m using WP v2.2.1.

Anyone know what’s happening??

No they’re not… funnily enough it took me a while to think of checking that, but no – they’ve been approved and still no show…

EDIT: Thanks TG!

Okay I figured it out. For anyone else wanting to know this the solution is as follows…
You simply replace the_excerpt() with this conditional:

if (is_single()){
the_content();

} else {
the_excerpt();
}

is_single() returns TRUE when you are viewing a single post, so you can then show the full text but show the excerpt on all other pages.

Hang on, I seem to have fixed it… The rewrite rules that WP gives are wrong!

Basically, delete the RewriteBase rule at the top, e.g;
RewriteBase /blog/

Then, at the beginning of all the RewriteRules it will have something like
RewriteRule ^feed

You just need to add blog/ in front like so;
RewriteRule ^blog/feed

Do this for each and every RewriteRule and it’ll work!

Hi. Has anyone figured out this problem yet?
My blog is at www. clickthrough-marketing.com/blog/
Setup as follows:
WP Address: www. clickthrough-marketing.com/blog
Blog Address: www. clickthrough-marketing.com/blog
Physical location: /blog/
Permalinks Structure: /%post_id%/%postname%/
No category base.
I’ve updated my root .htaccess with the supplied rewrite rules.
My host definately has mod_rewrite – I’ve been using it for ages, and it still works…
I tried CHMODing it to 666 – no effect
I tried the step by step instructions above and when I reset everything (no permalinks structure etc) all the links worked perfectly.

….help?!
