Hi there,

I am running into the same problem with my site – session IDs are being added to the URLs on the site. For example:

/fr/blog/?PHPSESSID=6791e39fc103baf30274938da9dfdfac

I wanted to clarify. It suggests above that you add a line to the .htaccess:

php_flag session.use_trans_sid off

I put it at the end of the file after the wordpress section. It is giving me an Internal Server Error however when I do this.

Any idea how I can resolve this. Thanks in advance!

Thomas

That’s brilliant! Thanks for your help Moshu!

Hi Moshu,

Thanks for getting back to me!

At the moment I use the <!–more–> tag to mark out which part of the post should be displayed on the blog homepage. This is normally the first paragraph of the post. Often there are links in this first paragraph.

So I wanted to know if there was a way to display this excerpt on the homepage, with the links removed. Just the text without the links.

Maybe links being not active isn’t the right terminology.

I would like to display the extract without links.

Does that make more sense?

Thomas

Ok, will have a look at whats involved in updating to 2.0.1. Thanks a lot for your help Michael!

hi gegresh,

nice to hear i’m not the only one with this problem!

did you try putting the <?php header(‘Status: 404 Not Found’): ?> or <?php header(“HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found”); ?> in your 404.php?

if you did and that didn’t work. have you figured out that a different template is being used to generate the error page?

thomas

Ok, so when a non-existant webpage is requested, wp is returning with the archive.php and not the 404.php.

I’ve gone through I dunno how many pages on the codex and can’t find an explanation for this. According to the Template Hierarchy the hierarchy for an error is

(1) 404.php
(2) index.php

Now i’ve tried deleting the 404.php file and creating it again from scratch. Just in case there was something wrong with the file. That hasn’t changed anything though.

I’d appreciate suggestions as I’m pretty much out of ideas – thanks!

Thomas

wp2.0

yeah, had just about figured out the two archives were normal! still don’t know why wp is giving out the archive.php instead of the 404.php

Thanks for the suggestions niziol! That tool is pretty handy. I’ve figured out now that wp is not returning the 404.php template when there is a 404. Instead it is returning the archive.php template.

I also seem to have two archive files – archive.php and archives.php – not sure if this is normal.

So the problem now is to try and get wp to use the 404.php for 404s instead of the archive.php.

Back to the codex… If anyone has any ideas!

Thomas

Thanks Moshu!

I think they would take the responsibility for transferring the database. But i’d be the same as you, i wouldn’t trust them 100% either! I’ll make backups before anything happens.

Thanks again for the info,

Thomas

If you’re running wp2 you will also need to delete the wordpress cache – it stores the blog and website url as well. There are instructions on the ‘Moving WordPress’ page:

Just installed the latest update to firefox and this is now working! On 1.5.0.1 at the moment.

Tried the hack but it didn’t make any difference.

I just switched off the tiger plugin as well and it still didn’t work.

the problem as i see it now is that drop downs are not working in my wordpress in firefox.

anyone come across this before?

It’s funny how many times you can figure out semething when you talk something through with someone…

I use firefox most of the time and its not working in firefox. But just tried it in safari and the dropdown works ok.

So i’m guessing the carriage return is confusing firefox and that’s why its only giving me one option from the option list.

What do you think?

Hi Katie,

No still not resolved. Got distracted with other things to solve.

I just tried renaming the template to Page-Standard.php, Page_Standard.php and PageStanadard.php with the corresponding template name in the file. No luck though. The codex.www.ads-software.com/Pages seems to indicate its ok to have the name and filename different:

Save this to arc-cont.php:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Archives with Content
*/
?>

Now, I’ve just had a look at the source of the ‘Edit’ page in the admin on wordpress. Looking at the source:


<fieldset id="pageparent" class="dbx-box">
<h3 class="dbx-handle">Page Template:</h3>
<div class="dbx-content"><p><select name="page_template">
<option value='default'>Default Template</option>

<option value='archives.php' >Archives</option>
<option value='guestbook.php' >Guest Book</option>
<option value='links.php' >Links</option>

<option value='PageStandard.php' >PageStandard</option> </select></p>
</div>
</fieldset>

I am not getting any of these options either. In fact from the browser it looks like there is only one entry, the first one.

Could it be because of the carriage return?

Or could it be to do with the tiger admin plugin?

Thanks for getting back to me on this!

I just had a similar problem. There are instructions for moving your blog at:

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Moving_WordPress

WP2 seems to store some of the options in the cache. If you are changing the web address and blog address directly in the blog, then you also need to delete the cache.
