1..5 creating “pages”

Did you run upgrade.php when you upgraded?

Yes, I did. Everything else seems to be working fine…just this feature.

I have exactly the same problem. I have followed all of the above, even create a new template for the Pages and in the manage ->Pages section it still says that I have no pages. Odd. Any thoughts on any of this?

Did you write a page and forget to save it? Pages work fine here, but I’ve noticed that when either writing a post or a page, if you go to another tabbed section of the admin interface your work is lost.

When you upgraded, did you delete all of the WP files from your server before uploading the new ones?

Yes – saved them – as a matter of fact I can see them in the “Pages” list.

And I deleted everything before the upgrade.

It looks like the pages themselves are functioning without a problem. Looks like it might be a bug in the admin interface.

Ok – I found the problem with getting them to show.

It seems that the Pages are inputed into the DB with the Author set to the ‘admin’ user, even though I created the pages as a different user (also with the same ’10’ level). What is interesting is that the DB call to get the list of pages , in the WHERE clause, is restricted so that the user has to be either a greater user level (impossible at level’10’) or the author, which is not imputed correctly into the DB.

I never use the ‘admin’ login – the author has 0 posts listed. I guess it is a problem in some form with the get_currentuserinfo() function not getting the corret info, etc.

I have done the basic “attempts” such as clearing cookies, etc. and if I modify the above DB call and change it so that the user_level is > OR = , I get the list of pages.

Ok – I found the real problem – and like MANY problems, in my case, it was USER PROBLEMS

(Places DUNCE hat on)

When creating the Page, I was NOT changing the Page Owner under the Page Options. I left it ‘defaulted’, and thus the ‘wrong author’.

Maybe this is the case with others.

As Homer would say “DOH!”

Thanks to the great help from others that I have read many a times and never posted before.

I have a very similar problem with Page creation. I have a shiny new (not upgrade) WP 1.5 install, which works pretty much flawlessly (so far) except for this. Here’s what happens: I use the Write>Write Page form to create a page. Fill in the pertinent info, click “Create Page”, and I get the message “Page Saved.” Then I click on the Manage Pages link next to that notification, and the page(s) I just created show(s) up on the page management screen. Clicking Edit allows me to edit them, but clicking “View” nets me a 404 message. Here’s an example:
The requested URL /wp/photogallery/pictures/ was not found on this server.
where photogallery was the original page I created, and pictures was a subpage that I created under that. Using ftp to browse the server, indeed, there is nothing called photogallery or pictures on my site. I have a standard setup on my host–i.e. my root directory is https://www.mydomainname.com, and wp is installed in the mydomainname.com/wp directory. I haven’t hacked anything, other than to put a Random Photo Block in the index page of my theme. Can someone please help me out here?
Thanks in advance.

There isn’t supposed to be a folder photogallery or pictures, that’s what the permalinks are for. They “fake” a directory structure.

Have you updated your .htaccess file with the new rewrite rules that WP creates or do you have your .htaccess writable by the server so that WP can update it automatically? Each time you create a new page, there will be new rules.

I tried changing the permissions on the .htaccess file, but that didn’t seem to help. Out of desparation, I tried deactivating some of my plugins, to see if that would make any difference. I deactivated my “faked folders” and “dustan’s time of day” plugins. I then tried making a page again…and it worked! I’m not sure which plugin (if any) was creating a problem, but deactivating them seemed to do the trick.

If those with the same problem as I had have these plugins installed, you might try deactivating them, and see if it makes any difference.

I’d be willing to bet it’s the faked folders plugin.

MtDewVirus, I wasn’t expecting an actual folder by those names. That’s just what the error message read. What .htaccess file are you talking about? Should there have been one in the wp directory? B/c there wasn’t one in my default install of WP 1.5, and I do remember seeing a message during configuration (not sure which item I was configuring) that said “you should update your .htaccess file now.” Anyways, I created an .htaccess file, gave it writable permissions (0664), deleted the pages that were showing in Page Manager, recreated a page, and….no dice. Same thing. I’ll go back and play with my permalinks settings, and see what happens. Any more ideas? Oh, and FWIW, I don’t have _any_ 3rd parth plugins installed yet–that means no faked folders plugin. Thanks!
