Thanks opajaap. I’ll keep an eye out for an update from you. ??

Thank you for your response, opajapp!

I have disabled the rating system although I’m not actually using the Thesis theme. Regardless, I’m not interested in using the rating system anyway so it’s no problem.

Thanks for looking over the site again.

I think the best way to delete the auto drafts is to log into phpMyAdmin and pull up the WordPress database you’re using.

Then go to the posts table, sort on post_status, and all the auto-drafts will come to the top for ease of deletion.

Adding a trailing slash “/” at the end of the custom menu URL worked for me too.

My server people located the problem. There was a recursion bug in which functions were being called continuously with no way out, causing an endless loop:

UPDATE wp_posts SET post_parent = 0 WHERE post_parent = 67 AND post_type = ‘attachment’ made by get_default_post_to_edit, wp_delete_post, do_action, call_user_func_array, _wp_delete_post_menu_item, wp_delete_post, do_action, call_user_func_array, _wp_delete_post_menu_item, wp_delete_post, do_action, call_user_func_array, _wp_delete_post_menu_item, wp_delete_post, do_action, call_user_func_array, _wp_delete_post_menu_item, wp_delete_post, do_action, call_user_func_array, _wp_delete_post_menu_item, wp_delete_post, do_action, call_user_func_array, _wp_delete_post_menu_item, wp_delete_post, do_action, call_user_func_array, _wp_delete_post_menu_item, wp_delete_post, do_action, call_user_func_array, _wp_delete_post_menu_item, wp_delete_post (repeated hundreds of times)

This appears to be a bug in WordPress, related to deleting old auto-save drafts (which happens automatically when creating a new post).

By manually removing old auto-save drafts, the problem has gone away. My guess is that it was only because I transferred posts using the WordPress XML export/import function.

I’ve been going back and forth with the hosting company and they are telling me that the problem is:

Line 50 of post-new.php

$post = get_default_post_to_edit( $post_type, true );

They commented out this line to make the “add new post” work again but this hardly seems like a solution. It’s just going to be overwritten on the next WP update.

Please can someone give me a better idea what’s going on??

I have the same issue:

PHP v5.3.2

server: Apache/2.0.63 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.63 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-?rhel5 mod_auth_passthrough?/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635

I’m getting a 404 error message when trying to add a new post or page.

Using WordPress version 3.0.1

Deactivated all plugins.

Using TwentyTen theme.

The problem wasn’t with my PHP code. There was a bug in the slider’s jquery.

So I’ve tried an install on my localhost and on a live server (thinking that maybe it was the WP install that might be causing issues) but it’s the same output for both.

WP seems to be displaying the theme information over and over again in a loop and I have no idea why.

Any help?

You need to provide a link so we can check the code.

If a crazy long string of text “suddenly” appeared in your theme (especially the index.php), then I would suggest you do 3 things:

1. Change your passwords pronto! Change your WordPress password and also your server password (your designer should know how to do this).

2. Log into your server files and sort your files by date. Check for any malicious or strange looking things that might float to the top of the list. Again, your designer should know how to do this.

3. Re-upload the index.php file via FTP to your server directly.

I’m really glad your site is working in the interim though!

My other thought is that when you name that custom landing page “home” and are designating that page in front page display, it’s not playing nice with WP for some reason. Perhaps naming it something less general like “Featured” and then choosing that in the drop-down list of Front Page choices.

Quick question: Do you have any actual blog posts on this website or is it just a landing page?

If you have blog posts somewhere in there, can you see what happens when you change the Reading Settings to this:

Settings > Reading > “Your Latest Post”

I think changing the packaged theme is well overdue but I don’t think too much time should be spent on the debate about what the new theme will be.

Honestly, 99% of WordPress users will immediately upload a custom theme of their liking and won’t ever activate Kubrick. The same will happen with whichever new theme is packaged with WP simply because people want to choose the theme themselves.

Cracking our heads over what to include in the new package theme is a waste because it’ll be replaced by the user anyway.
