I just ran into the same thing, and my workaround was to add this to includes/notice.php around line #82 (just inside the get_total_interval function, before the switch starts):

if (!$interval) { return false; }

The author posted this last October:

Dear friends,
I am currently going through a difficult period. My health is fine. However this is not the case for many people around me, and among people who are my dearest. This forces me to work on Events-Calendar in a dotted way and with much less concentration. I also realize that I neglect requests for assistance.
Thank you for your understanding.

It seems to be the most recent update to his blog.

“No one is forcing you to upgrade to the latest version. Would you rather use software with security holes than one that is updated frequently?”

Actually, it would be nice if “security patches” (only containing the altered files) were released when holes were fixed. As it stands, the minor update process is pretty clunky—unless, as jonlandrum mentioned, you’re using SVN. But not everyone has sufficient server access to run SVN. Sure, they could switch to more expensive hosting plans which would allow them to take advantage of subversion’s benefits, but if they had such money available, why would they be so gung-ho about using free software? ??

Also, SVN doesn’t address the plugin incompatibility issues. If anything, it would only serve to exacerbate that issue.

Try editing a Page (not a Post) and saving the changes. Then see if the link works.

Could be the permalink bug my wife has been dealing with (and others deny exists). The “hello-world” bit in the permalink is the tip-off — it looks like the slug for one post or page is getting tacked onto another’s permalink.

It’s a back-and-forth thing. You save edits to a Page once, and it breaks all permalinks. Save edits again, and the error’s gone.

It looks like a missing strong terminator (” or ‘) somewhere in the saving script.

When I edit a Page and save the changes, the 404 error appears. When I edit again (the same Page or another one) and save, the error goes away and I can view the page again.

So I just jumped into PHPMyAdmin… man, this is weird.

First off, rewrite_rules changes its option_id on me–it alternates between 215 and 217. (Correction: the option_id advances by two each time–it’s now 219.) Second, here’s the cause of the 404: instead of the permalink pointing to the proper permalink URL (in this case ending with /help-spread-the-word) it has /love-you appended to it (ie., help-spread-the-word/love-you.

This actually seems malicious.

rica125: I found where this is covered in the Codex: wp_list_pages | Exclude Pages from List.

So moshu… you just replied to mock rica125? And you’re a moderator? Whatever happened to “with great power…”? =/

I was hoping there’d be an answer here–I’m in the middle of trying to figure out the same thing.

That’s funny (weird) because I just got the same error message–fir the first time, I might add–and I also use IX Web Hosting. I wonder if this particular problem is more or less unique to them. Hmm…

dhbenson is referring to the image upload panel on the post page. What you do is:

1) Click on “Browse All”
2) Select the image whose information you’d like to update
3) Beside its title, there should be an “Edit” link. If you click on that, the URL/Title/Description form will appear.

The Autosave “feature” actually crashes my host’s SQL server! It’s happened about half a dozen times since I upgraded to 2.1.2… Otto42’s tip seems to do the trick for me, and I just realized the best part about it: future upgrades won’t overwrite it (yay!).

I think you meant line 255, not line 155. ??

Besides that, it works great! Thanks for the tip.

It seems kind of ironic that WordPress has import tools for everyone but themselves. ??

Oh, duh! ::slaps forehead::

Definitely sounds like something to add to the Blogger import tool — it’s not like broken links are a minor issue. ??

I forgot I had this happen to me when I switched. I only had three or four broken posts because of it, so it wasn’t a big problem for me.

It might be considered sloppy, but could mod_rewrite do the trick by removing the “a-” “an-” or “the-” articles from all page requests? (I guess if it’s used, it should probably just be considered a stop-gap measure.)

Not that I could write the code, mind you…
