In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] W3 Total Cache Minify URL rewriting error@vorsta I experienced the same problems when I upgraded. I read that switching to Manual mode for Minify fixes things but I always had it on Manual mode (Enter URLs in manually) so this wasn’t a solution for me.
I just downgraded the plugin and everything (mostly) went back to normal. Downgrading took me a while though and caused a series of problems, including 500 errors, missing URL settings for minify, etc… To bypass the issues, you should either disable Minify completely or attempt to downgrade.
I’m going to hold off on upgrading until I notice a newer version available and can confirm that these errors are fixed. I don’t want to waste tons of time reverting an upgrade again.
It should be fixed in the next version according to the Twitter account: https://twitter.com/#!/w3edge/status/71126092286660608

In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] W3 Total Cache Minify URL rewriting errorSame here. I have always had Manual Minify selected, so switching it from Auto isn’t going to work since its not on Auto.
I tried reverting to the previous version except the first time I get a 500 Error everywhere. I removed the random ‘core’ the downgrade adds to .htaccess and then my site works again. Except all my Minify files got removed and even uploading my settings backup didn’t work at all. The minify URLs are clearly in the settings backup except uploading them doesn’t work.
I’m going to try it again. My theme is a bit messed up without minify since I included a lot of files that wasn’t in my theme files
Update: Just tried again with the old version 0.9.1.3 and my settings for minify still refuse to restore. Guess I’ll go through adding them again by manually reading the settings backup.
Hope this gets fixed soon.
I have to agree with futtta. There is nothing on the WordPress.com Stats download page even mentioning third party tracking in addition to the fact that Quantcast is being added to a lot of anti-tracking lists and would be unreliable.
I installed WordPress.com Stats from the beginning because I liked the simplicity of it. Now, its the only script on my site that needs to load synchronously because of the use of document.write. I have ran many tests and the WordPress.com Stats (combined with Quantcast) take longer than the rest of my page to load.
In addition, I also installed WordPress.com stats because it did not set any cookies whatsoever. Now with Quantcast, it sets a cookie under my domain name as well as their own quantserve.com which is detected by most anti-malware products as a 3rd party tracking cookie.
I want to continue using WordPress.com Stats but lately some unnecessary features have been added including the wp.me shortlink which I don’t need as I have my own shortlinks.
I would love to see a “lite” version as well with just the basic Stats like it used to be without any of the other stuff. I don’t need a unique visitors feature with WordPress.com Stats. I have Google Analytics and CloudFlare to do that (both of which don’t use unnecessary third party services).
The main problem I have with the Quantcast code is that I’m working on page speed right now and it makes 1 request each to 3 different hosts, meaning 3 extra DNS lookups and 3 requests in addition to setting cookies.
edge.quantserve.com (JS file)
pixel.quantserve.com (302 Redirect to the next one)
segment-pixel.invitemedia.com OR cms.quantserve.comThanks for the quick reply Matt!
I don’t really want a script that sets a third party tracking cookie in users’ browsers like Quantcast loading on my site although I’m looking forward to the upcoming features around uniques and people counting.

In reply to: Informing Google about move from .com to .orgIt sounds like you’re using Google Webmaster Tools.
Yes, if you are switching to the self-hosted version, your URL changed, therefore, you must reverify your site with Google. Note that Google will probably count both your old blog and your new blog as separate sites.
Do not add the same tag to your new blog, but add a new site to Google Webmaster Tools, which will have a different tag to use.

In reply to: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 10485760 bytes exhaustedThe maximum memory allowed for PHP scripts appears to be 10 MB. This is usually set by your server administrator.
You can increase the limit if your web host allows it (Warning: This may be in violation of your web host’s TOS. Please refer to it for PHP script memory limit).
The best amount of WordPress is 64 MB.
If you have access to your php.ini file, open it and search for the line: memory_limit. If it doesn’t exist, create it and if it exists, modify the line to:
memory_limit = 64M.
If you don’t have php.ini access, you can add the following line to your wp-config.php file right after the beginning <?php:
ini_set(”memory_limit”,”64M”);
As I mentioned, some hosts may suspend your account for doing this as you are using more resources than you are allowed to, so I recommend you contact your host about this.
From the fatal error you mentioned, it looks like your limit is 10 MB currently.

In reply to: Title name of my blog not showing up on front pageGo to Appearance –> Editor. Then click on the header.php file. Make sure its writable first, or there won’t be a Save button.
Add the following line to your <head> section:
<title><?php wp_title(‘ ‘); ?><?php if(wp_title(‘ ‘, false)) { echo ‘ -‘; } ?> <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></title>
Paste it right before </head> or somewhere between <head> and </head>. This will add the page titles in dynamically.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
