Additional info from the DB:

table posts:
has an entry 81, all entries look normal, post_status is “publish”.

The only thing that is unusual is that table ID entry 81 occurs in between table entry 11 and 15. The rest of the table IDs are in normal ascending order. There are entries 80 and 82 further down where they belong.

I tried changing the post iD but it doesn’t make a difference, so I put it back to the way it was.

I looked at .htaccess (Apache mod_rewrite) and couldn’t find anything wrong either. I used the AskApache RewriteRules Viewer, couldn’t see anything wrong either.

I couldn’t actually find where the permalink specifics are stored in the DB. Are they stored in a flat file?

I reposted it, and it’s fine when reposted.

However, I really like WordPress and would like to contribute to having it be stable. So I’ve left the corrupted post there, but changed the publish date so it’s not directly visible in the current feed.

If someone is willing to look at the old post, here’s the link to the post, it will stay up for 2 days max because I want to upgrade to 3.04.

Short link: https://www.cloudforest.com/blog/?p=81

Content for this post is all there in the admin interface, it even shows up in a manual PhP query, just both the short link and the permalink doesn’t work. What’s even stranger is that any changes to the permalink end up dissapearing. I can change the 81 to a word, it saves, but when I close the admin page and reload it, it’s back to 81.

Esmi, I sent you an E-mail. My site is not live yet and I’d like to upgrade to 3.04 before I even attempt to publish the URL anywhere, especially given the now publicity known security vulnerability of 3.03.

Hey, already did! My wife is a big KCRW fan, your blog is totally her kind of tunes as well. You have very good taste in music. ??

Now if you get Facebook shares back up, it’ll make it easier for me to share the tunes I really like with all my friends without cut and paste. ??

I switched to “Share and Follow” plugin, seems to work really well. No offense to Vivek, I am always grateful for the work put into plugins.

Vivek, I am now using another plugin. But I have a sandbox blog where I try new plugins, I will set it up there and let you know when it’s ready.

GabeJaobs, your blog is awesome! I absolutely love the music. Wow! You’ve got yourself a new fan.

Thanks. I didn’t notice that at all. I ended up switching to Grunion since it seems to be the officially supported forms.

For anyone else who runs into this problem, I commented out the following code in grunion-contact-form.php:

// $akismet_values = contact_form_prepare_for_akismet( $contact_form_values );
	// $is_spam = contact_form_is_spam_akismet( $akismet_values );
	// if ( is_wp_error( $is_spam ) )
	//	return; // abort
	// else if ( $is_spam )
	//	$spam = '***SPAM*** ';

This prevents the plugin from calling Akismet. Seems to do the trick. A more elegant solution would be if the plugin had a settings page where you could enable or disable this function.
