I ran into this problem on a client’s blog (and she’s using Windows while I use Mac, so that ruled out a few things right there). Tried tracing this in various ways and searching, and eventually found something useful in the Codex.

My problem was exactly as described there: the database options for siteurl and home were wrong. Not sure whether this was the result of something my client did, a bug, solar flares, etc. but fixing those options (through phpMyAdmin) did the trick. Go figure.

I used the method described here. You could also use the plugin mentioned on that post, too.

Just wanted to reiterate Glowing Face Man’s observation. I started getting this error when I put require_once('PATH-TO-/wp-blog-header.php'); inside one of my class’s functions, and everything worked again when I moved it out.

I’m not working with CakePHP, but it seems that the issue is the same.

cosmictap posted a link that solved the “HTTP error.” problem for me (after all other solutions I tried failed).

Just for the record, I am using WP 2.9 on HostGator.

I got the same error after upgrading WordPress from 2.6 to 2.8.4.

Deactivating and reactivating All in One SEO fixed the problem (it then asked to update the database, did so, and all is well again).

For me, this error was a result of an old version of the Redirection plugin. I deleted it via FTP and all was well (and then I installed the latest version of the plugin, and all was still well ?? ).

I am also curious about this question. Any conclusions?

See this thread. It worked for me.

Thanks! Works for me on 2.7.

I was having this problem and tried all sorts of things, including moving all of the plugin files to a temporary folder, which let me log in (and gave me the clue that a plugin was the problem).

I eventually narrowed it down to an old version of the WordPress Database Backup plugin. When I deleted it and installed the new version, it all worked again.

Here’s the code I’m using for a basic dropdown list of tags.

<?php
	if ($tags = get_tags( array('orderby' => 'name') ))
	{
		echo '<form action="'.get_bloginfo('url').'" method="get">';
		echo '<select name="tag" id="tag" class="postform">';
		foreach ($tags as $tag)
		{
			echo '<option value="'.$tag->slug.'">'.$tag->name.'</option>';
		}
		echo '</select> ';
		echo '<input type="submit" name="submit" value="view" />';
		echo '</form>';
	}

?>
