What wp header code do I use in non-wp pages?

I forgot to say, I use this at present in the non-wp pages so I can get the wp-sidebar working with them:

<?php

/* Use WP Templating System */
require(‘../news/wp-blog-header.php’);
?>

By the way, could someone confirm I get a 404 on this page: https://www.elyonline.co.uk/events/

Many thanks

The page you linked displayes perfectly in my browser.

okie, this is exactly the same problem I am having on wp-stats.php, wp-poll.php and wp-useronline.php

In FF1.5, IE7 Beta it works fine, but when viewed in IE6, it will get a 404.

Yup, IE6 ain’t showing me anything and when google sitemap trawls my site It says for the events page and my contact page: https://www.elyonline.co.uk/contact/

Thanks

Never heard of a 404 producing client-side differences. elyonline, note the difference between your two links: one is with trailing slash, the other without. This can be a major problem.

However check out this:
https://www.schroepl.net/cgi-bin/http_trace.pl?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.elyonline.co.uk%2Fevents%2F&method=GET&version=HTTP%2F1.0

Your server sends a 404 and yet delivers content. :-/

C**p, what could be causing that? Anyone?

Thanks for the head’s up, Mastermind.

Have you possibly manually modified your .htaccess file? If so, could you please post it?

Hmmmmm, not really, just the standard 2.02 version of htaccess:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Well, I’m clueless now.

Do you have any strange plugins installed?

I also could imagine a bug in Apache or a module, or possibly you have misconfigured your Apache server (httpd.conf), or you have a weird combination of Apache modules. Which Apache version do you use, and did you do something daring on the config?

btw, it seems you’re using PHP 4.4.0 — in this version lots of bugs (some of them security related) were detected. If you can, you should maybe consider upgrading PHP anyway.

so is this a php bug?

I wouldn’t dare to say this is a PHP bug, after nothing more than a remote diagnosis. ??

I just said that it might be a bug, and that I — in general — would advise to upgrade from PHP 4.4.0 to a current version.

GamerZ: Would you maybe also like to test your erroneous page(s) with https://www.schroepl.net/cgi-bin/http_trace.pl and/or post your URLs here — maybe we can find some similarity.

sure thing mastermind, but I am using the plugin on my page and it works just fine, php 4.4.2. I will get my user to report their php version.

Actual page:
https://www.krankenversicherung.lt/wp-stats.php
My user site tracing:
https://www.schroepl.net/cgi-bin/http_trace.pl?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.krankenversicherung.lt%2Fwp-stats.php&method=HEAD&version=HTTP%2F1.0

it got a 404 on the trace. weird

Hmmmm very strange.

All I know is that since I upgraded the non-wp pages no longer feature in google search, prior to upgrade one phrase was no 1 in the search.

I guess thats because Google is reading it as a 404.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

I suppose the error to be in the Apache config (section error handling).

If it’s your server: Have you changed the Apache config?
If it’s a shared server and you’re not admin: Do others have the similar problems? Could you possibly notify your host master?

The best would possibly be to update your Apache and PHP, or change your host.

I checked with my host and he says everything is fine with Apache, he said the problem lies with the page.

Could anyone check my page (if they have time): https://pastebin.com/642663 and tell me if they see anything un-to-ward?

Many thanks
