…should say “He deleted the settings –> site address as well”

So any files both those settings affect need to be changed back.

Thanks.

Figured it out!

I freshly installed yet another brand new blog just to test things out, and things worked fine at each step till I changed the permalinks settings. This led me to look at the htaccess file.

There are references to your blog’s url in a couple of places in the htaccess file. If the file is not there in your new blog or you’re using a copy of the htaccess file from your previous blog, then you’ll have forwarding problems like I did.

Case closed. Thanks for the suggestions!

Just as an update, if I post a new blog post in blog #2 (https://internetmarketingforbusinessowners.com/more_tips), it forwards to blog #1 to a 404 page error.

That’s what the “New post to test auto-forwarding problem” post is–just wanted to see if it wouldn’t forward if I created a new post, but it does.

Thanks Esmi.

I did a search and replace for

? Search /website_traffic/tips … and replace with /more_tips

and it said that quite a few entries were found (and replaced, I assume). A subsequent search and replace:

? Search website_traffic/tips … and replace with more_tips

yielded no entries found, so I assume that means they were all changed with the first search and replace. Yes all the blog posts on blog #2 https://internetmarketingforbusinessowners.com/more_tips still forward to blog #1

I even tried switching templates thinking perhaps it was some old code that was causing the problem, but you’ll see that blog #2 is now using the “Twenty Ten” template and it still forwards to the other blog.

Still trying to figure it out. I appreciate the help! Any other thoughts?

And thank you for your suggestion Webjunk. I appreciate it!

I double-checked everything. Both option_name=’siteurl’ and option_name=’home’ were correct for both databases. This has now stumped the IT people where I host my site.

Everything that I’ve looked at that holds database or url information (like wp_config.php, wordpress address and site url under general settings) is correct.

It might help to note that when you visit the two blog’s index pages everything works as it should, but it’s when you click on any post title that the switch happens.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Hmmm… Is there something different about wp 2.6 regarding this issue?

I’m using absolute urls pointing to pages in the same domain name that are not wp posts and wp is automatically converting my absolute urls to relative urls. Example:

in my post at https://www.realestateinvestingforbeginners.com/advice-and-mentoring/investing/an-inexpensive-way-to-find-deals/

the “investing strategies” link was:
https://www.realestateinvestingforbeginners.com/investment_strategies.php

wp turned it into:
../../investment_strategies.php

which effectively points to: https://www.realestateinvestingforbeginners.com/advice-and-mentoring/investment_strategies.php

which doesn’t exist.

In tiny_mce_config.php the settings have always been
‘relative_urls’ => false,
‘convert_urls’ => false,

Any thoughts would be great, and I appreciate the help. I agree with skeezicks though–creating pages in wp is like having to code for a whole new browser. It’s reminiscent of when you had a site looking great in IE and then you’d have to fiddle endlessly with it to make it look right in Netscape too.

I’m using FF on a PC, and had the same problem till I added “margin-bottom:24px;” to the paragraph attributes in my stylesheet.
Example:
p
{
color: #111111;
font-size: 9pt;
font-family: arial;
margin: 0;
margin-bottom:24px;
}

I appreciate your help whooami–I made completely new stylesheets for this site so .cat-item was not the style governing the list.

Your comment was very helpful too iridiax. That helped things make sense.

In the end it was an arcane little bit of css code that took the discs off and I can’t begin to explain why. The only thing that irks me is that it seems wordpress displays things differently based on it’s own css requirements (i.e. you have to have a # in front of your hexadecimal color numbers or wp doesn’t acknowledge that color). How far my ul text is indented not only changes from IE to FF, but from wordpress in IE to wordpress in FF.

I’m sure it’s just wordpress requiring very strict and cleanly written css code, but I’ve got years worth of style sheet code all jumbled together, and having to go back and separate out all the sloppy short-hand code I use has doubled this project time.

Thanks for letting me rant and thanks for the help.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I’ve been through the stylesheet that is connected to the file (and a couple that aren’t just in case) to find the style that governs it. I haven’t been able to find anything with all my tweaking and testing.

I’d really just like to find out how to tell it not to be an unordered list. Maybe that’s not possible. Maybe all categories are unordered lists by WP default and can’t be changed. Anyone know?

Thank you.

I would guess you’ve got the flash header in your index.php file but not in your archive.php or single.php files.

If you put the flash code in the header.php file it should would show up on all your pages.

You might also want to make sure you’ve got a static link to where your flash file is located (e.g. https://www.yoursite.com/flashfile.swf in between your object tags instead of just the relative link flashfile.swf)

I’d like to do this, but in the main content section (i.e. someone clicks on a category and the posts appear with the oldest post on top).

The code currently looks like this:

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
		<div class="post"><h3 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
		</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>

Thanks!
