And also, thanks for creating the best damn WordPress theme around!!!

Thanks much, that took care of it!

Yes, I just did that. No, it didn’t help. Good thought, though, Thanks.

How is it possible for you to get so upset about one review, when all the others give it 5 stars? Especially when I said that I deleted a bad review after figuring out I had made an error. My wife was in the hospital at the time, so that’s how its possible. I just changed it to 5 stars, but seriously, you need to calm down and get a little perspective.

its been a couple years or more since I did any work with a localhost under Windows – all my current development is with Apache2 under Linux, and while the initial setup is not quite as plug-and-play as it is with Windows (I always used the XAMPP package) in the long run I find it better and easier to tweak, in addition to running faster. Anyway, assuming the option is available, I’d suggest making sure the rewrite module is enabled and turned on as I mentioned in my previous reply. Other than that I don’t really have any suggestions other than that you might look into Linux as your development OS, since that is what a large number of commercial web hosts use anyway.

Found the solution. Re-worded my google search and came up with several forum posts about enabling the rewrite module. It had been enabled, but not turned on in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default. Thanks for prodding me in the right direction.

Yes, permalinks are ok, Duplicator takes care of rewriting those, and I did it manually the first time with no better results. Just set permissions on .htaccess to 777, still no luck. I suspect that there is some setting in the way Apache or PHP is set up in my local server that’s different from the commercial web hosts. Since the site worked ok when I first built it here locally, I am probably going to just rebuild it from scratch and see if it breaks, then port it to my development site and back again to see what happens.

I also turned on WP Debugging with an error log, but deactivating the one plugin that was causing an issue did not help either.

I removed the .htaccess file altogether but that had no effect.

FWIW, here is my .htaccess file.

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

# END WordPress

The plugin that pulls the server info uses phpinfo() and literally shows hundreds of lines of info so it sure seems like something about the cause would be there. If I knew what to look for that is.

And yes, I usually prefer to do a site move by hand, but that didn’t help in this case so I tried Duplicator and that didn’t help either.

PS I have not experienced any other connection issues under Lubuntu, such as ftp, normal web browsing, etc.

I tried installing before the WP 4.1.2 update, and just tried again with a fresh download and the problem persists.

I have about 20 plugins installed with this WP site, and this javascript capability is not at the top of my “to do” list, so I may not get to it for a while, but when I do I will let you know the results.

In the meantime I am wondering if it is a difference in the version of PHP being used on my server vs yours that is causing the issue. My hosting company tends to lag behind in these updates. My PHP skills are rudimentary at best, but when I see an ‘unexpected end of file” error like this at install time, vs when the plugin is in use, I have to wonder if it is just an issue with how the code is being processed vs a conflict with another plugin. Thanks for your help

Update. This is a PHP version related error. Server was running 5.2.17, was able to go to control panel for the account and upgrade to PHP 5.3 and plugin activated just fine.

I have a similar situation, and I am using a plugin called Ultimate Category Excluder to keep certain posts off the home (Blog) page.

Thanks for the quick response. I was able to connect to the correct account by logging into it before attempting to Connect to Twitter.

However, when I attempted to reconnect before (when it reconnected to my personal Twitter) I did not have Twitter open in a tab in my browser. I had not logged out of my account last time I used it, just closed the browser tab. Is the app pulling the Twitter account info from a cookie in my browser? I am using Google Chrome running under Linux Royal (Ubuntu based).

Thanks for that tip. I have moved a number of WordPress sites in the past couple years, crashed not a few and always recovered. I am beginning to think this is one of those weird ones that is not worth the trouble, but I will review the link you sent and TY for that.
