  • It is a problem with the cache. I had the same issue and finally figured it out.

    Go to:
    wp-content/cache/

    and search the folder that looks like an md5 string for the url it is pointing to, once you find the files edit them to point to the url you are trying to reach.

    At UTD we just got PHP only because a co-worker and I asked. (I work for Information Resources.) But we only have Microsoft SQL (yuck), and we can’t use it for stuff other than staff related. And we are a school that focuses on technology… hah. ??

    I think my school would use WordPress more if they actually knew about it. I was insturmental in that class using WordPress, the first semester we used MoveableType (before new liscening scheme), and I had to manually add everyone, plus we got shut down at the end of the semester for using to much processing power. 3 semesters running WP, most times 3 sepearate installs, and no shut downs. WordPress is a much cleaner and easier system to use.

    I’ve been hosting blogs for a Lit class at The University of Texas at Dallas and Richland Community College for the last four semeseters. It’s used to post assignments and hold class discussions, the professors are very happy with it. Here is the link to this semesters blogs. They are not hosted on the school’s server because we don’t have MySQL, so I am hosting them myself. It is also a slightly modified version of WordPress.

    i’m not on windows so i cant say how it looks on there (but obviously you have that covered).
    run down on mac. safari & firefox – looks fine, the sidebar and the content are different lengths. is that what your talking about? the dreaded mac internet explorer – entirely messed up, top has no background image – in your css declare background-image: url( with either no quotes or double quote (“). also the side bar is right below the masthead and has no color and extends past the page to the right.
    i think it all has to do with the css, which can be difficult to tackle. on my site (which isn’t up b/c of cross platform issues like you’re having) i used php to dynamically create the css based on the browser which fixed some inconstancies and personal preferences (mainly win ie not using dotted borders!)

    I wrote a plugin for sidebar stats that are updated through an admin function (menu addon), then you add <?php mystats('*classname*'); ?> to the index.php template. It pulls the info off of a sql database, but its for the general sidebar, not for each generic post. And the music is pulled dynamically off of a kung-tunes log that is added to the sql database as well (for mac only, sorry…)
    You can see what I’m talking about @ https://blog.atchb.com. (of course thats not the layout/site, I’m still working on setting up templates, and an article add-on, so it will be a few days).
    *btw – I know nothing about php, I did this reverse engineering another plugin, the code isn’t that pretty, but it works and is small as possible
