Really would like a good events calendar that just plain works. Been using ‘Events Calendar 3’ on my WP 2.5 install and it lists things in the sidebar, but clicking on the items doesn’t yield the necessary information about the event.

(see right sidebar labelled ‘skate calendar’.

Any recommendations of a sidebar calendar that actually works would be much appreciated. I think Events Calendar wants to do some kind of contextual popup. I’d prefer the user visit an actual calendar entry where they can copy-paste the info into emails, etc. Popups are pretty unusable for the visitor.

There is ‘Events Calendar 3.0’, but I haven’t gotten that to work very well.

I’d like to say that I encountered this problem and struggled with it for a few days. I was able to create a new post and save, but editing an existing post would result in a blank page.

To solve: I deleted everything in wp-admin and wp-includes and copied over fresh copies. I think the problem was that I had incompletely copied new files in an upgrade attempt. I had just copied the new wp-admin directory over the old one, but I think I might have forgotted to do this with the wp-includes.

Developers might consider adding more verbose error logging or some kind of error display. A blank page is a difficult thing to begin troubleshooting. I mean, don’t get me wrong. WordPress is an amazing piece of work that I’m hugely appreciative of. I’m really just posting here to help others get past this stumbling block.

Appreciatively,

My htaccess includes this–

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

# END WordPress

My directory root contains a subfolder called /images/ that has a gallery installation. When I enable the above .htaccess, it breaks all requests to the subfolder for *.jpg, *.css, *.php, etc. I need to somehow exclude that subfolder from rewriting. What should I do?

Appreciatively,

How do you get it to exclude ALL content in the subfolder? In this case, you just add another rewrite of the URL to the index.php file. In that subfolder, I have .jpg, .html, .css, and all kids of stuff. I need to fix my htaccess to not try to rewrite anything in a specific subfolder.

Any ideas?

The trenscanspammers plugin was very easy for me to install on my site. I highly recommend it. Haven’t had a single comment spam since instlling it.

I’ll come back in a couple weeks and let you know if this authentication scheme is working or not. If I get a single spam, I’ll look at that karma approach.

Thanks for this solution. I am using Mandrake 9.2 and also was missing the my.cnf file. I couldn’t get it to work by creating it from scratch. I found out that there are sample config files in /usr/share/mysql. I copied the my-medium.cnf file and made the edit you’ve recommended here. Restarted the DB and it works. Thanks a lot!
