In reply to: Trying to add a subscribe button to the sidebar@buddha trance,
Thank you so much for all your help. This forum needs more people like you.
The problem mysteriously fixed itself. I have to assume there was a problem at 1and1. Anyway, everything works normally now. I’m glad I didn’t start changing code. I wonder what caused it? Anyway, thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I’m sure they will help somebody else searching this forum with similar problems.Happy Thanksgiving!

@samboll, Thanks for the suggestion, but the problem mysteriously fixed itself. Both absolute and relative urls work now. I have been struggling to figure this out for 3 days. There must have been something going on with my host.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Trying to add a subscribe button to the sidebarMaybe I should start a new thread for this? It looks like the problem is isolated to the text widget, so the thread title really doesn’t fit.

Yes I checked out 1and1’s version of WP called 1and1 blog. I found it useless, so I downloaded and installed WP manually. I will keep a small orange in mind. I have heard good things about them.@buddha trance
I had started a different thread regarding the feed URL. Someone pointed out that I forgot to setup my permalinks.. I didn’t want to change anything after the fresh install, so I could isolate the problem. I setup the permalinks and the /feed/ link is working again. However the text widget problem is still a mystery. I would like to figure this out before I put a lot of work into this site.
I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate you effort to help. I really expected my people to give suggestions considering how large the WP community is. I tried to help a few other people, but my I am a newb, so my experience is limited.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Feed subscribe URL not working@whooami
Thanks! That worked. I forgot I did that on my last attempt to install WP. I am having another problem discussed in another thread. I had re-installed WP with version 2.6.5. I didn’t want to change anything after I re-installed so I could see if problem happened right out of the box. Anyway, problem solved. Thanks. If you get a chance look at my other thread. I’m having trouble using images and links in the text widget.

No the text widget was installed by default. All I did was add it to the sidebar using the admin stuff in WP.
Did you just do a fresh install of 2.6.5 on your site? Does the url /feed/ work on your site?
Rather than go through the trouble of turning my PC into a webserver, I will just get a hosting account at another hosting provider. I would like to avoid that. If I get an account at another provider and the problem doesn’t manifest, I will simply cancel my 1and1 account. But I don’t want to go through that much trouble.
Has anyone else done a fresh install of WP 2.6.5 on 1and1? If so, can you please test this?
1and1 says they will not support WP. I will try to call them, but they are within their rights to tell me to F*off.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Feed subscribe URL not workingThe link http://blog.gocanyoneering.com/?feed=rss2 does work.
Could somebody else with version 2.6.5 try /feed/ on their site and tell me if it works for you? Maybe is has been removed from this version.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Trying to add a subscribe button to the sidebar@erichamby
What, do you work for 1and1 or something? You sound a bit sensitive about my comment. If I didn’t think 1and1 would work for my site, I wouldn’t be using them. It’s just many people have strong feelings against 1and1 and I didn’t want to get flamed. If I offended you, I apologize. I didn’t blame 1and1 for this problem.
However I stand by my deduction that this is a problem with either version 2.6.5 of WP, or it’s a problem with my server environment (such as my php version of something). By saying server environment, I’m not saying my server is faulty or setup in a substandard way. I am saying perhaps something WP needs isn’t there, is the wrong version, whatever.
Assuming that I didn’t screw up the install (twice). This is a fresh unmodified install, on a brand new 1and1 account. There are really only two variables here. The version of WP and the Server environment.If there are any things I need to setup after a fresh install to make this work (other than the things I mention previously), I hope somebody can enlighten me.

In reply to: Feed subscribe URL not workingI put the .htaccess file that 2.6.3 created into the folder of my 2.6.5 site as an experiment.
Before I placed the .htaccess file. Going to
http://blog.gocanyoneeing.com/feed/ would produce a 404 error. After I dropped the 2.6.3 .htaccess into the folder going to
http://blog.gocanyoneeing.com/feed/ would take me to the front page of the blog. Weird..
I deleted the .htaccess file again. but thought I would mention the result of my experiment here. Something is definitely different in 2.6.5Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Trying to add a subscribe button to the sidebarI noticed that 2.6.5 did not create a .htaccess file. Should there be one? Could that be why /feed/ is not longer working?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Trying to add a subscribe button to the sidebarThis is driving me mad.
buddha trance, thanks for you help. Thanks for not giving up on me.
Im not using any plugins that were not installed and activated out of the box. This is an unmodified fresh install. I completely deleted the old database and all files. Then I installed fresh. I did not add nor modified anything. I did not activate anything.
The only thing I did was add a text widget.
I installed the Simple Image Link plugin you suggested. It seems to work, but doesn’t explain what is wrong with the text widget. I also noticed something else strange since I installed the new version.
http://blog.gocanyoneering.com/feed/ no longer works. It should allow you to subscribe to RSS. It is my understanding that is a standard feature of WP and it worked with 2.6.3.
What the heck is going on? I have installed A LOT of php scripts over the years, but I have never had this much trouble with a fresh install.
I could use the Simple Image Link plugin as a work around, but I can’t help but think there is something broken in my install. Until I know what is wrong, I won’t feel confident putting a lot of work into a blog using this platform. I really hope I can figure this out. Thousands of people are using WP with no trouble. Why can’t I?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Trying to add a subscribe button to the sidebarOk being that this is a fresh install, I have to conclude that there is an issue with this version of WP, or there is a problem with my server environment. Here what I know:
- WP 2.6.5 – fresh install
- Host- 1and1 (dont laugh)
- mysql5.0 database
- PHP Version 4.4.9
See anything wrong? Is there anything else about my environment I should check?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Trying to add a subscribe button to the sidebarIn answer to your previous question. I left the widget in place and added you code, so you would expect to see both, but you code wasn’t displayed at all, only the text widget with the missing image was displayed.
Thanks for the suggestion about swithing themes. I had previously tried that. All themes give the same result. I changed to that theme, because it was the only one that showed a dark splotch where the image should appear which allowed me to right click and view the image properties. With other themes the image location isn’t visible.
I didn’t enable or disable any other widgets. It was really a fresh install, other than adding a few themes. Maybe I would have to enable those other themes for them to appear. However, like I said. All themes I have tried have the exact same issue, including the default themes. The 2.6.5 install you see now, is fresh out of the box. I deleted everything and started over. I haven’t even adding any themes. The problem behaves exactly the same as before.
The code I added is exactly as you see it in my previous post. I have completely typed it in from scratch several times. There are no typos unless you can find one in my previous post (I copied and pasted directly from the text wideget).
Thanks for you help!
