I thought so. ??

Oh, and if you try to re-install the 3.0 upgrade, remember to remove/rename the install.php again since it is generated/copied there again.

At least for me the reverting to 2.9.2 did not help at all, it caused more problems..

And if you meant removing the install.php, it helps avoiding the hijacking, but still keeps the WP not working. But I suugest to remove or at least rename the install.php.

I have re-upgraded through the admin panel and also changed the permalinks to default and later back to my preferred one. Still having the problems.

I have had the same problem with my main blog. And had it with the testbed installs as well. After changing the MySQL usernames for every WP install and their databases, everything else has been working just fine except the main blog.

The problem is so severe that there is less uptime than downtime at the moment and the percentage is same as it was in vice versa situation.. ?? The problems started after I updated to WP 3.0. The upgrade to 3.0 went smoothly, no problems. All plugins are upgraded as is the theme and all support 3.0 according to the developers.

I also have 100% identical testbed install of the WP running flawlessly on localhost and on different hosting, so it should not be caused by the plugins.. I have ticket in for almost third week now with my host and they have been able to solve everything else but the main blog issues. I have removed the install.php for now just in case, since it gets shown to whole world when the problem is on.. I don’t want to risk someone hijacking the WP install..

The biggest issue making it hard to resolve is that the problem comes out of the sky when ever and not in particular situations. At first we thought it comes when something is changed/added in the database: new post, new page, new comment, new user, etc. but it does also occur when someone is just browsing the posts and pages..

I managed to get the Dynamic content gallery to work decently, but ended up going different way.

I am using the Post Thumbnail images instead, it is WP core stuff, so I like it better than plugins even though it takes a bit effort to get things done. Later with the posts it is quicker and easier to set photos as thumbnails than to use the custom fields.

Mark Jaquith has a good post in his blog about the Post Thumbnails Images: https://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2009/12/23/new-in-wordpress-2-9-post-thumbnail-images/

Thing is you can enable the thumbnails for posts and pages or just one. I have edited the theme to show the featured content header on everywhere. Then replaced the Featured Content Gallery code with the <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?> code. The images have been set to 610px X 265px according to the theme featured photo size. Then I edited the Post Thumbnail Image related CSS to match the look of the Featured Content Gallery thing.

What I have not been able to sort out yet is the carousel on the blog frontpage for the featured content, but I blame just my lack of PHP skills for that. You can of course use existing plugin and hack that to use the Post Thumbnail Images from the posts/pages.

I just added “else if” for the blog frontpage to exclude the static post thumb and will put there the carousel when I get it sorted out. ??
