Count me in, also. Several different computers with different OSes and browsers, and no cached pages are being served. The caching system is working, but browsing yields only dynamic pages.

Anyone got any ideas?

Okay, so the problem rectified itself.

How? By upgrading to 2.3.2.

I wish I understood why that would be. Hope this helps someone else.

This is a good question. I have the same issue. The idea of going into my database and hand-editing each tag is a pain I really wish to avoid. I’ve looked at a couple plugins (Simple Tagging & Advanced Tage Entry), but they’re just as bad in dealing with this issue.

Anyone?

Thanks in advance.

Otto42,

Your plugin did not work. It stopped all comments from coming into my blog. Whenever someone attempted to post a comment, it would create a null comment that effectively blocked all other readers from commenting.

??

Thanks, Otto42! It’s activated. Let’s see if it works.

@rok

That plugin is three years old and either does not work with v2.X of WordPress or does not work with Akismet or SK2. No matter the situation, it simply does not work. I know–I have it installed.

Thanks for all the feedback.

@ Rok: according to the “Simple Trackback Validation” page, it checks to see if a trackback actually contains a link to the page trackedback. In the case of all these splogs lifting content, it will contain a link. Not sure how that plugin helps in this case.

I’ve got “Antileech” installed, all the SK2 plugins, “Moderate Pingback” and “Moderate Trackback,” and yet nothing seems to be able to do the simple job of sending all pingbacks to moderation.

How hard can that be?

And the main problem is with pingbacks, not even trackbacks. I never get spam through trackbacks, only pingbacks.

I’m no genius when it comes to PHP, but I’ve got to believe SOMEONE out there would know how to send all pingbacks to moderation. I sure wish the “Moderate Pingbacks” plugin still worked, but it hasn’t been updated in years and I think newer version of WP break it.

Oh well. I can’t believe this is not a problem for everyone! I posted just a few minutes ago on my blog and in ten minutes had four splog pingbacks!

I’m having the same problem as the original poster.

The “Moderate Pingbacks” plugin by mtdewvirus does not seem to work at all in WordPress 2.X (or simply will not work with Spam Karma 2 or Akismet).

The Spam Karma 2 Moderation plugin seems wrongheaded for a couple reasons:

1. It moderates ALL comments, pingbacks, and trackbacks. Why not just do that through the normal WordPress controls? Also seems to defeat the entire purpose of having Spam Karma installed in the first place! If you’re going to moderate everything, why use Spam Karma?

2. It penalizes normal commenters, especially first-timers. I don’t have a problem with commenters. Spam Karma does a fine job discriminating bogus comments. It’s the trackbacks and pingbacks (especially) that are a problem.

WordPress doesn’t allow a function to moderate trackbacks and pingbacks separate from regular user comments. That seems to me to be a glaring oversight, especially in this age of splogging.

Are there any better workarounds?

I assumed that this problem would be fixed in 2.2.1, but I just upgraded and it’s still there. I’m running with caching disabled in order to keep from getting the offset error in cache.php.

There seems to be a variety of conflicting answers on this one. For those of us still struggling with it, what is the final word on the issue?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks so much, MXV. My entire sidebar ran out of eight King Text Widgets, so I was hurtin’.

One observation: In WP 2.2.1 the King Text Widget does not display its widget options correctly. Instead of collapsing, the whole thing sprawls out and exceeds the widget’s box size.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Anyone got a fix?

Having the same problem since upgrading to 2.2…

Also getting the error in lines 125 and 131. Tried all the classic fixes to no avail. Sometimes flushing the cache works, sometimes not.

I found the problem.

If you’re using a plugin or widget that must be installed in the folder of the old widget plugin, that plugin will break everything.

Now that WP 2.2 has widgets built-in there’s no need for the old widgets plugin. However, a few plugins/widgets are built to be installed in the same directory as the “widgets.php” file. Now that that file has been moved out of the plugins folder, problems arise.

Your problem plugins may differ, but I broke my blog with the King Text and King Links plugins/widgets. They must reside in the old widgets folder in the plugins folder. Now that widgets are incorporated in WP 2.2 and no longer a plugin, those two break and will take your blog down with them.

Fix: Copy your old widgets folder to your local hard drive as backup. Delete the widgets folder from your blog’s server. (If you haven’y upgraded your database, do so.) Reload your dashboard. Now you should be fine.

Sadly, the King widgets series (which powers my entire sidebar) needs an update to work with 2.2 from what I can see. No updates exist at the time of this writing. Check the site here:

Moshu,

The theme is a fairly popular one, Regulus 2.1.

Didn’t matter which “the_content()” I put it in after. I got a blank screen when I tried to reload the site.

I tried this technique and all it did was hang my site. I don’t know PHP. My example:

<p class="centeredImage"><img src="https://zzz.com/images/badge.png" border="0" height="15" width="80"></p>

That call works elsewhere in the site, but I suspect there’s some PHP code that has to go around this. What?

From the index.php from the theme I’m using:


// single page
// -----------
if( !is_single() ) {

if ( $usePassword ) { echo "<div class=\"passwordPost\">"; }

if ( $pageDisplay == 0 ) {
the_content();
} else {
the_excerpt();
}

if ( $usePassword ) { echo "</div>"; }

} else {

if ( $usePassword ) { echo "<div class=\"passwordPost\">"; }

the_content();

if ( $usePassword ) { echo "</div>"; }
}

wp_link_pages();

echo "<!--";
trackback_rdf();
echo "-->";

if( is_single() ) {

comments_template();

}

endwhile; else: ?>

Clueless…

Thanks in advance!
