I ended up finding the answer inadvertently when working on something else. I used <?php bloginfo('home');?> followed by “/about” or whatever the slug was. Hope this helps someone else.

frizzled,

I got a chuckle when I read your solution. Was hoping for something with a bit more substance ’cause I am currently in the same predicament you were. Maybe I’ll give my host a call and hope for a little magic. ??

Icy, I don’t understand half of what you said but I have run into the same problem. I am on a dedicated hosting plan and have WP in the main directory (not in a folder like “/blog/”). I upgraded from 2.0.* to 2.1.3 and now I get 403’s on the Options panel and managing pages. I was able to edit three pages after upgrading before I got the 403. Can you explain to me what I can do like I’m a six year old? ??

I think you’re right. ??

Eureka! I figured it out. Here’s what I did:

I didn’t notice anything in the error log, though I wasn’t sure what I was looking for.

I realized the difference between the new WP site I was trying to import into and one I setup on my personal site for test purposes was that I hadn’t modified the permalinks preference (in the test WP). So in the new WP site, I deleted the .htaccess file and reset the permalinks preference back to its default. I also went into php MyAdmin and emptied the wp_posts.

I then tried importing the .xml file again and voila! It worked. The subpages are under the wrong Page Parent but that’s not a big deal as it will only take a few minutes to assign them correctly.

Hope that helps anyone who comes across the same problem.

Yes, I did. I’m not getting any errors. Here’s some more information: I’m exporting from a WP blog using WordPress 1.5 theme (default) into a WP blog using K2 theme. The only pages that aren’t showing up are subpages (of a “services” page I created in the first WP blog). I just created a WP 2.1.2 blog (with the K2 theme) on my own personal site and tried importing the same .xml file and it worked. The subpages had the incorrect Page Parent but that’s a 2 minute job changing it to the correct one.

I don’t see any errors other than the fact that the subpages aren’t showing up in the Manage > Page list and when I try importing the .xml file again, it says all the pages (including subpages) already exist. I don’t know how to check my web server error logs. Would I do that through the control panel?

HandySolo,

I’m exporting from 2.1.2 and importing into 2.1.2 at a different WP blog on a different web host. I’m using the Import and Export features under the Manage tab in the WP administration.

I’m having this same problem. Except I don’t see the pages that don’t show up under Manage > Pages even if I type what would be their address in my browser. But when I go to reimport the pages, it says they already exist. I’m using WordPress 2.1.2 and its built in import/export feature.

berchman,

I want the same thing. Unfortunately, I’m a bit of a WordPress newb. I’ve been pretty good at creating new Page Templates and such but this one has me for a bit of a loop. The thread you linked to is closed so I can’t ask there but could you please explain what you did? What code did you put into your sidebar.php? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
