In reply to: [Plugin: WordPress.com Stats] Stats showing post ID and not titleI’m also seeing this with v1.5. Seems to be random posts are ok and the others just show an unlinked post ID#. I will see if I can figure out a reason why some may work and others don’t.

In reply to: 404 Errors after upgrading to 2.7Andyfarmerboy, what custom permalink did you use to make it work? I have not been successful so far.
I use the “Day and name” format selectable from the permalinks menu. All I did is change it from that to the “default” setting and then change it back.
As for the rest of you still having problems I really don’t have any great suggestions. If you haven’t done so already I would make sure to disable all plugins, change the theme to the default, make sure all the wordpress files uploaded correctly and then see if you can get the permalinks to work. Once you have that fixed then switch back to your main theme, activate the plugins etc. This can be a big help if there is an issue with a theme or plugin.

In reply to: 404 Errors after upgrading to 2.7I also got 404 errors on everything except the main and admin pages after moving from 2.7 to 2.7.1. However all I did to fix the problem is navigate to the permalinks settings page in the admin panel and change my custom permalink to the default –save changes, and then set it back to my custom permalink and again –save changes. This fixed it for me. Hope this helps.

In reply to: Strange character inserted messing up IEUPDATE: Re-saved all php files using notepad++ as UTF-8 “without BOM” and all is well.
I think I understand now… I just needed to get rid of the BOM from my php files.
Thanks all.

In reply to: Strange character inserted messing up IEHay it looks like that worked… now… can someone tell me what I just did.
This is what I did to fix the problem:
I opened the php files that I had saved in Expression in notepad and simply did a “save as” changing the encoding from UTF-8 to ANSI. That seemed to do the trick.Now I don’t really know much about page encoding but I take that to mean the server needs the ANSI encoded php files to create the HTML in UTF-8 (please correct me if I’m wrong).
The real problem I have is I cannot seem to get Expression to save the file in any other encoding. I did the “fix” noted above and tried changing the “site settings” default page encoding to ANSII but it is still saving the php in UTF-8. Thus I guess I will have to do my editing in notepad or find another text editor (what do you guys use?)
Thanks Kafkaesqui for your tip on the encoding. I probably would have figured it out eventually but you saved me a lot of time. If someone could point me to some good reading on page encoding… -it looks like could use a little info in that area.
For Anyone else using Expression you may want to watch for this.

In reply to: Strange character inserted messing up IEThanks for your help. I applied the Expression fix and then re-saved the files but that didn’t change anything. I tried creating a new header.php file and copied the code to it but that didn’t change anything either.
Again, I don’t see the character in the php code; it only shows up in the generated html.
I will look more at it tonight and see what I can find.
DianeV,
The dot is REALLY hard to see in Expression – it appears to take up no space and the code will go right over it. If you enter a “space” on either side of it you see it much better.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Strange character inserted messing up IENOTE: you must go to the blog to see the character; it did not paste in the code above.
