I did some investigation (prior to finding this support topic) and found similar results with commenting out lines 11 to 13 of taxonomy.php. I took it a little further and added a var_dump($wp_taxonomies) after the assignment lines to see if the assignments were working or not.

With this additional line in the code, it magically started working properly (no 500 errors) with none of the lines commented out. I tried replacing this with an echo “Test” (also with a couple other strings) to see if just outputting some text resolved the issue but I was back to the 500 errors.

I also tried changing this to var_dump(“”) which also seems to resolve the problem… if you don’t mind the string(0) “” at the top of every page.

I have not yet tried moving the var_dump line elsewhere.

I am using PHP version 5.1.5 and MySQL 4.1.20 on Apache 2.0.52 with eHosting.ca.

After doing some google searches I stumbled onto the fact that output_buffering is set to 4096 on my host and wondering if this is related (I think var_dump may interact with this somehow and resolves the issue).

I am reasonably good at the programming side but don’t know much about configuration. I think I can override the php.ini setting for output_buffering in a .htaccess file but could use some direction as to how to do this so I can test if this resolves the issue.
