In reply to: Site inaccessible to some, comments don’t work for othersHmm, curioser and curioser. I just switched this back to unresolved … the near-universal problems that caused me to post the query in the first place seem to be gone, but I still have a few users who are encountering the same problems even after the fix. One tried posting a comment with Lynx and got an “error reading from socket” if that means anything to anybody.
More troubling, I can no longer access the plugins or presentation pages on my WP dashboard — I get “Safari can’t open the page “http://joshreads.com/wp-admin/plugins.php” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection” on Safari and blank pages on Firefox in OS X. Rebuilding the permalinks structure again seems to have no effect.
Oh, and to answer Dalton’s question, I have 176,636 (!) comments. Who knew I’d be pushing the limits of WordPress?

In reply to: Site inaccessible to some, comments don’t work for othersFollow-up to my own post — on the advice of a friend, updating the permalink structure on Options > Permalinks seems to have done the trick for no good reason I can think of. My friend that this can work the kinks out of a lot of WP problems, so that’s a word to similar sufferers…

In reply to: customizing spam karma’s error pageOK, I figured it out. The error text is in spam_karma_2_plugin.php, around line 999.

In reply to: customizing spam karma’s error pageuh, thanks for the suggestion, but how about the question that I, you know, actually ASKED? Not to sound grumpy, but it seems like it should be an easy thing to do to edit the error message (surely it just lives in an HTML or PHP file somewhere) but I can’t find out how to do it.

In reply to: wordpress-2.0.2 and wp-cache-2-0-17: Blank page problemI don’t have gzip compression turned on. Clearing the cache doesn’t seem to help, but I haven’t gone back to the default settings yet; I guess I’ll try that.
Also, I realize now that the above fix (ob_end_clean() to ob_end_flush()) is just for PHP 5, yes? My host only uses PHP 4.something.

In reply to: wordpress-2.0.2 and wp-cache-2-0-17: Blank page problemHi there-
I’ve seen the blank page problem intermittently with the WP and WP-Cache versions outlined above. Mostly it only happened when users attempted to post a comment, and then could be fixed if users changed the names entered in the comment field. However … today the problem seems to have spread to the main page of the site! I have tried de-installing WP-Cache and replacing it with Statiscize Reloaded, with identical results. I made the change outline above in this thread, and still get the blank pages … but the user can get the page by reloading, now. Still not acceptable, obviously. My ISP *requires* me to use caching because of the high traffic to my site and the burden it puts on PHP. HELP!

In reply to: wp-cache seems to be causing problems with commentingOOps, I’ve actually discovered that this is due to Spam Karma 2, not wp-cache. My mistake!

In reply to: PHP eating up server resources — WordPress to blame?Cypher, I was running neither of these — thanks so much! I’ve installed WP-Cache and we’ll see if that helps.

In reply to: Forcing commentors to preview a post once in 1.5Thanks, Fruitfly. I know you’ve linked to me before, so I think you’re right about me. I’m impressed by your powers of deduction. More people doing research for incompetent Webmasters, mule!
Unfortunately, Filosofo doesn’t seem to work with pop-up comment windows. Also, I tweak the plug-in control panel so that the post button is only supposed to show up after a preview, but this doesn’t seem to happen. Argh. I feel retarded.
Viper007, if you out of the goodness of your heart want to come up with some code, I will be forever grateful.

In reply to: Trackback spam in Comments, Trackbacks are offArgh, this started happening to me too today. I have trackbacks turned off. What the hell? I also have a plugin set up so that users have to preview their comment at least once before it can appear. How can I make sure that trackbacks are *really* off?

In reply to: “Warning: Unknown modifier”Ah, that was pretty much it. It wasn’t whitespace, though: a spammer had been using ampersands in his name, and I had added said name to my spamlist, which caused this problem. Those bastards are clever! Thanks for the nudge in the right direction, though.
