Thread: two severe issues

two severe issues

1. for various reasons i install wordpress in a subfolder and use a slightly modified index.php in my root

so my "WordPress address (URL)" and "Blog address (URL)" are different.

this is not an uncommon way to install wordpress and is described in the official wordpress docs.

i have many many wordpress sites configured this way and they all work fine.

unfortunately the entire register, login and redirect after login process in classipress. please fix or tell me how to patch!

2. when i post an ad on the site, with or without an image, logged in or not, in chrome, firefox AND IE, i get a download dialog box that pops up.

the ad itself actually submits to draft behind the scenes, i get the email notification, but i am not taken to a confirmation page, just this download popup.

please help with these issues as soon as possible!

thanks,
sean

Re: two severe issues

Correct, it's not an uncommon setup to have (I use it this way myself).

Are you able to provide your URL so we can take a look please?

i disabled the requirement to register/login to post a classified so you can test the issue with posting. i've tried everything i could think of but it's still giving me a download popup whenever i try to post a classified.

Re: two severe issues

I can see it happening (the download prompt), and if the index.php is the only file you modified, it must be something to do with this I imagine. Can you restore back to the original index.php and see if you still have this same problems?

Re: two severe issues

well i even tried changing the wordpress address and blog address to the /wp folder. so now it is using the unmodified index.php.

then i rebuilt my .htaccess.

but still no go, its still trying to download something.

any other ideas or what this could be?

thanks,
sean

Re: two severe issues

Have you tested it with a another computer?

Re: two severe issues

have you tried it from your computer?

it's not my computer.

Re: two severe issues

any other ideas?

i've been banging on this for awhile now.

i've installed and heavily customized literally hundreds of wordpress websites and worked with countless themes and plugins so i'm pretty certain it's an issue with the theme.

would really like to get this fixed asap! i can give a mod wp login and ftp if need be.

thanks.

Re: two severe issues

Going back to what you have done with the installation so far, what other modifications have you made to any of the files? I notice your "verify" link comes up with an error relating to header.php and pluggable.php.

I might also suggest disabling any plugins (particularly those which didn't come suggested with CP).

If you can, ideally you could do a clean install of WP and CP without any modifications whatsoever and verify the post an ad button is working before making any changes.. The issue you are having is not one I have seen before, so is most likely to do with modifications made. If it was a CP problem then I'm sure we would have come across it before.

Re: two severe issues

I had a look but I didn't try submitting anything because the site looks live. You are getting some very messy headers like when I click on the profile page I get
....finder.com/wp/wp-login.php?redirect_to=%2Fwp%2Fprofile%2F
which is very messy.

This is only a long shot but,
this reminds me of a problem I had once. It turns out that I made the problem when I edited the wp-config file. It seems it is very fussy about having absolutely no characters before the first <?php not even empty lines and spaces and make sure you edit in utf-8 and not unicode. The latter can add invisible characters.

That redirect I see in the header is probably from your .htaccess file.

Sorry if that's useless to you.
