thanks for the reply Dion,

so the fopen only read “available”, it did not have “primary get..” beside it or anything like that. I’ve tried disabling it per your instructions. fsockopen() is marked available. Still no luck though.

The “get…” stuff is next to the PHP Streams where it read:
Primary GET
Primary POST
Primary GET(non-blocking)
Primary POST(non-blocking)

So weird. It was working beautifully up until this week. I am starting to think it’s my host though, I’m currently using a free host option. Here is my blog in case you might want the URL. https://mixmastermichael.byethost22.com

Thanks for reading and trying to help. Any thoughts?

Blah, tried these steps, but it’s not working.

These are what’s displayed next to the following:

PHP HTTP Extension Not Available
cURL Not Available

When I try “test transport” I get an error message:

An Error has occured: Could not open handle for fopen() to https://tools.dd32.id.au/wordpress/core-control.php

Which in lies the problem I’m having, I can’t seem to connect to ANYTHING on the wordpress server to download (themes, plugins, upgrading wordpress) I once downloaded and installed the “third party host fix” plugin which seemed to have worked to solve this issue of connecting, but it’s now acting up again.

Lil help??

Ah, just deleted the <!– #respond –> all together from the comment-template.php file which seemed to have done the trick.

Now onto the IE 7 issue I just noticed ??

Thanks for the help though, couldn’t have done this without you ??

UK people are so nice.

Hi there, thanks for checking, I’ve commented out where I could but still see the issue on the pages.

HOwever, I’m not seeing the “comments.php” file, do you mean the one associated with the theme “ws6”? I tried looking in that one too but still can’t see any “respond” div.

It’s weird, as it’s obviously pulling it in from somewhere outside of my theme, but I can’t tell where… Hmm.

Yeah, hmm not quite sure what the problem is…

That “respond” div is in the source code of the site, yet I’ve done a search through every file in that theme and can’t find ANYTHING that relates to it…

As for not being able to edit the theme, it was weird, I switched the site back to /wordpress just to check and sure enough the changes I made to the theme showed up there, switched back to the root directory and things showed up again.

Now if I can just figure out how to get the weird –> to disappear I should be back in business and almost done.

Thanks so much for the reply. I will take a look at some things tonight and see if I can find out what the story is. I think all is okay for the directories / theme directories, since I can switch to other themes and install them and edit them fine. hmm.

Have a good night and I will post here on what I’ve found out.

I very much appreciate the time to check it out.

Thanks for the reply!

Yes, what you described is exactly what is happening. I make changes to the theme, they are not reflected at ALL in the live site. I’ve cleared the cache, checked multiple browsers, etc.

For example, I thought that was the case for the <!–respond –>, and have made the change, but it’s still there after checking it out multiple times on multiple browsers etc.

My wp theme used to be in /wordpress on my domain, but I’ve recently switched over… Perhaps it’s still thinking the theme is located in the /wordpress directory? But it’s weird as CSS changes can be made with out issues.

Thanks again for looking into it.

ok fixed it, somehow in the “media” section under settings there was a weird path that got put in there. Feel so relieved, now I can really start getting the ball moving on this…

Seriously, what the hell.

I have no idea why I can’t just upload an image into a page / post as I’ve been able to do on other wordpress sites. Would it be possible to just re-install wordpress to see if that would work? I would need to keep my existing theme / plugins though which is why I am reluctant to do so.

The site in question is here: firstclasswoodworking.com

Thanks

See, I relize all you’ve mentioned about using the WP dashboard way to upload the image, and have uploaded multiple images using the WP dashboard in the past on other sites. The problem is that ANY image uploaded on this site using the dashboard is not actually showing up when added to the blog, or in the media section at all.

The file name I’ve uploaded appears in the media section, but when you try to view the image, or a thumbnail of it, the image appears to be broken.

Still not sure what is going on…

So I fixed this issue a while ago by downloading the “third party host fix” plugin. It’s been a while since I’ve resolved it, and can’t really remember what exactly I did, but just wanted to pass that issue along in case some sorry soul stumbles upon this thread one day.

So did you resolve this issue? I’m having the same problem.

I’m having this same problem for some reason.

I’ve uploaded the most recent version of wp 3.0.2 and modified the
‘timeout’ => apply_filters( ‘http_request_timeout’, 30), in the class-http.php file but I’m still getting that error message.

Could it have something to do with the server?? I’m using 000webhost right now which can be sort of wonky at times.

Awesome! Thanks, that link pushed me in the right direction to solve the issue.

Bump! Anyone know how I might be able to do this?

Maybe my first post didn’t clarify enough; all I want to do is have it so that the first page people see when they visit my site is:

Does anyone know how I can do this?
