In reply to: Broken Feeds Since WP upgrade to 3.5.1OK. After a ton of hairpulling, I think I figured it out. I went through each and every plugin, deactivated, and tested the feed. When deactivating “Advanced Permalinks,” the feed came back to life.
Now my question is, I migrated from plain URLs to fancy permalinks over a year ago. I had used this plugin to assist in 301 redirection without losing the previous indexing.
Do you think I still need this plugin at this point?

In reply to: Broken Feeds Since WP upgrade to 3.5.1I had some problems with w3 total cache right after the upgrade. It took down my entire site and Dashboard. I had to SSH in and manually deactivate it to bring the site back up, which – obviously – fixed that specific issue.
I have two dozen or so plugins. You’re saying try deactivating them one by one?

In reply to: Permalinks – Redirects to Homepage – Can't ResolveSo here’s another thing. For the last 24 hours, I haven’t slept because I could not accept the fact that WordPress Permalinks was requiring an /index.php in front of my custom permalink to avoid redirects to the home page. It was really irking me that my urls all began with domain name/index.php/slug. Ugly!
What WordPress doesn’t tell you, or what fixe the issue in my case, was not only enabling mod_rewrite in Apache, but putting this line below specifically in my virtual server’s respective area in httpd.conf.
AllowOverride AllGeez.

In reply to: WordPress Blog Loading too slowOh boy. Are you hosted on a Windows box or Linux? Sounds like Windows/IIS based on your response. If you’re Administering the operating system and Web Server yourself, and don’t know what these terms mean, or how to “tune” whatever Web server you may be running, you may need to enlist the help of someone who does – at least initially.

In reply to: WordPress Blog Loading too slowWell, I’m going to assume it’s some flavor of *NIX and Apache/HTTPD you’re running. I struggled with the same problem for the first few months. I don’t know you’re exact setup, but I used an inexpensive Rackspace virtual/cloud server with only 512MB RAM. Now, it’s been fine for a long time using Apache Virtual Server on one IP with numerous fast loading Web sites – that is until I threw a WordPress site on it.
The other sites were fast as hell but my WordPress blog would take a horrifically long 10 – 20 seconds to load each page. Did endless searching. I ruled out the server and MySQL as culprits. I finally came across a post that went over tuning the entire LAMP stack. What did the trick finally for me was to tune my httpd.conf for WordPress – again, although the 6 other sites on the same instance were all super speedy. Here’s what I changed in my httpd.conf:
<IfModule prefork.c> StartServers 5 MinSpareServers 5 MaxSpareServers 10 ServerLimit 50 MaxClients 50 MaxRequestsPerChild 4000 </IfModule><IfModule worker.c> StartServers 5 MaxClients 300 MinSpareThreads 25 MaxSpareThreads 75 ThreadsPerChild 25 MaxRequestsPerChild 2000 </IfModule>KeepAlive OffEvery situation/server will be slightly different, but this worked for me and completely resolved my slow WordPress issues (after restarting Apache). I also signed up for CloudFare Content Delivery Network (CDN). That seems to have contributed to a slight speed increase as well.
Good luck.

In reply to: Permalinks – Redirects to Homepage – Can't ResolveJesus Christmas! I FIXED IT finally!!!!!!!!! w00t!
It’s all thanks to this post: http://strangelyperfect.tv/11622/wordpress-permalinks-generated-but-not-redirected/
After many attempts, it wasn’t my Apache, htaccess, plugins or anything else. All I did was insert “index.php” in front of the Custom URL Structure and voila!
All is working! I don’t understand why, but whatever.
