Previous Entries Link problems

  • Hello everyone,

    I have just begun to use WP and I am very happy so far. I should probably say up front that I don’t know anything about php and coding and all of that, so please talk as simply as possible ??

    Here’s my problem:

    At the bottom of my page there is a link that says “Previous Entries.” When you click on it, it sends you to a nonexistant URL. My blog is at https://blogs.servatus.com/jocose, but when you click on the “Previous Entries” link, it trys to take you to https://blogs.servatus.com/jocose/blogs/jocose/index.php?paged=2

    Now, I can see what the problem is, but I can’t figure out where to fix the link so it points to the right place. I found in the index.php where it tells the site to have the “Previous Entries” words, but there is no <A HREF> type of tag, and I can’t find anything in the Admin section to change that.

    Can someone please help me understand how to fix this?

    Thanks so much!

  • I was wondering if you ever figured out the problem?!? I have the same issue and can’t figure out for the life of me how to fix it!

    Thanks~

    In your options, what do you have as the Blog url, and the site url settings?

    GOT IT!

    It’s ugly but it works. To get rid of the redundant subdomain, just subtract that part of the $index and $qstr strings that is giving the problems.

    To see what they originally were getting, I ran a trace script on the $_SERVER calls in the get_pagenum_link function:


    <?php
    echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
    echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
    ?>

    This gave the orginating file as well as the subdomain. BINGO! This is consistent, so need to excise it.

    Thus to lines 377 to 398 of template_functions_links.php, I added a substr php command to excise this problematic duplication:


    $qstr = wp_specialchars($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
    $qstr = substr ($qstr, 8);
    ...
    $index = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
    $index = substr ($index, 6);

    The discrepancy in the substr calls are because I am getting %7E in $qstr, two characters more than the regular single ~ in $index. However, check what you exactly get by running the trace.php script

    Thus in general, for $qstr, the number should be the length of subdomain name + 4, and for $index it should be +2.

    This seems to have cleared up other 404 errors originating from the login as well as all instances of previous/next entries misdirection.
