It turns out that the server has a custom config that filters out HTML tags in PHP POST.

Hi,

I found out that wp can’t get access to ../[filename] because of the way the server is configured.

If I replace

require_once(‘../wp-config.php’);

…with…

require_once(‘[/my/path/to/wordpress]/wp-config.php’);

…I can use the Post, Edit and Manage pages as well as all of the options pages, and the posts display properly.

However, some things are still missing.

For example, I can’t use attachments to post. I don’t get any errors from the php module and I can use the upload function, but the directory for the content doesn’t get created and the file doesn’t get uploaded. Any links to files in my posts come out as plain text instead of a link.

I tried replacing __FILE__ in the ABSPATH in wp-congig.php but when I did I got an error that there was a ‘/’ where ‘ was expected, even when I escaped the slashes with \ (ie \/).

Does anyone have a better workaround for this?

Answering my own question:

As a workaround, I used:
perl -pi -e ‘s#cache_enabled \= true#cache_enabled \= false#’

…to disable caching.

It seems to work now, but if anyone has helpful suggestions on how to make the caching work, please feel free to add them. ??

Hi, Angel here.

This issue should be resolved for all customers now.

Thanks but that directly contradicts the part where I asked “Other than renaming the hundred or so files I have with pound signs in them, is there any way to fix this?”

Does anyone else have a more useful suggestion?

Common issues:

-Check to make sure you’re using [email protected] as your login name and not just ‘username.’
-Make sure your hostname is https://ftp.yourhostname.tld
-Make sure you have created a username for yourself in your Password Manager in the Hosting Control Panel under the Manage tab, and that you clicked the “enable FTP” link after you created your user

Check if the file has a hash (#) ie pound sign in it. I recently discovered you can upload a file attached to a post if it has a pound sign in it but the resulting link will be broken.
