No, did not work. Disabling all plugins by renaming the plugin folder to plugins.hold and then creating a blank plugins folder and then running Press This did not stop the permissions error. What has got me intrigued now is why a very small percentage of sites work. For example, any news story page displayed by the BBC invariably produces a successful result when using Press This.

Oh wait, I think I see the pattern! It’s the domain name!!! Sites ending in .com, .net, .org are all failing. Sites ending in .uk, .eu, .it are all passing. Its like the code can’t handle 3 character domain suffixes.

Can you explain this?

I am not sure I am following your most recent suggestion. If I am, in essence, creating a dummy (blank) plugins folder, at what point would it be feasible to test why the Press This or Press This Reloaded plugin is not working? I just took a quick glance. There appears to be many working files in that directory. If I reloaded the Press This plugin into that dummy folder to test, how could it possibly work? Unless…, unless Press This is not a true plugin and is functioning more as an administrative feature built into the program.

Looking at the plugin directory structure, that appears to be distinct possibility.

Won’t hurt anything to try, I guess.

No conflict. All Plugins disabled – still getting the same error using either Press This, or Press This Reloaded.

Thanks!

Just deactivated all my plugins. Press this still produces the same error for the vast majority of pages. On another thread there was made mention the possibility that this could be host provider related. Some sort of anti hijack protection software they may be running on their Apache servers. A little bit too obscure and over my head upon first reading, and at the time, did not pay too much attention as I could not see how that could be related to the plugin. As I posted on another thread, I can add new posts, and am having no other outstanding issues doing the normal things in WordPress, so this has to be some other weird problem.

Thanks!

Okay, good news – bad news, I guess. The regular Press This does not work either. Even tested this out on another browser just in case one of my Firefox add-ons was causing this difficulty.

Nope, fails just as miserably under IE with no add-ons.

Now I’m going to follow up on Esmi’s advice to see if there is a conflict or compatibility issue with one of my other plugins.

Thanks!

I am discovering that the regular Press This (built in) Plugin also produces the same error. For some sites (both plugins) work, but for most, I get the exact same error message. I actually don’t have that many plugins, so it is a simple matter of deactivating the two and see what happens.

Thanks!

Okay, as a follow up, also tried reloading or resetting the plugin by going to Tools in the Admin page and then redoing the bookmark. This made no difference either. I am no going to do a test to see if the regular Press This plugin works.

Thanks!

Okay, looks like I can. Just added a test post to my site – got no errors. Now the next step, following your suggestion, would appear to be to uninstall the plugin and then reinstall.

– Okay, uninstalled.

(OMG – You’re the author of the Plugin!)

– Okay, Successfully installed the plugin Press This Reloaded 1.0.2.

Tried it. Still the same problem. One site I went to it works, everything else tested fails with the exact same permissions error.

Thanks!

Turned out to be a training and education issue on my end. My apologies for wasting your valuable time. Hopefully my future post’s solutions will actually have something to do with WordPress.

No records found when I do a file search for index.htm. I have an index-extra.php.

Slight update to my last post. The visit site link in the CP now goes to a page that says under construction. Which I believe to be perfectly okay, since I have not uploaded any content. Still can’t get in to the admin site though.
