Perhaps I’ll file a bug. Doesn’t seem like expected behavior.

Alright, this is embarrassing but my build system reverted my Apache config, disabling mod_rewrite.

For you googlers out there, make sure you have this line un-commented:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Don’t forget, double check your <Directory> directives for allowing .htaccess.

Also, double check that your mod_rewrite is “sane” before doing anything. Try this method:

Good Luck!

I’ve setup a rewrite log and don’t really see anything going on. The server config hasn’t changed since upgrade nor has the .htaccess file that’s sitting in the root directory.

Not sure what to make of it. I really want it to work but it’s really slowing my development down. I’m going to give it another night and then probably try it on a production staging machine.

Really no one else has had this problem after upgrading to 2.9?

bump bump bump bump!

Haven’t looked yet.. but might get a chance tomorrow night.

I posted about this, with a less then ideal subject, recently as well:

Unfortunately, I can’t look into it too deeply where I am. I’ll watch your thread too and if there is a resolution, I’ll let you know.

That’s a great suggestion. However still doesn’t like my custom setting ??

Maybe I should turn on my mod_rewrite log and look further.

I’ve looked into this in great detail. I am currently developing my own since nothing like this really exists. WPMU looks like a big pain in the ass anyway and I couldn’t recommend it.

These support forums are pretty much the void. There are no incentives to help anyone.

Automatically = natively

For anyone that may find this in google and also find it useful.

Ok, so after RTFM’ing here is the solution:

<?php
register_sidebar(array(
'name' => 'the_void_that_is_wordpress_forums',
'before_widget' => '',
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => '<h3>',
'after_title' => '&lt/h3>'
));
?>

After you create a new “widget area” or sidebar, you should be able to drag-drop whatever widget you want into it. Not the soltion I was hoping for but it works nonetheless.

Thanks Me!

Anything work like:

get_sidebar('index-insert');

But can return an exact instance that is already defined and then either return it as a string or echo it out?

Pretty please?

There is no standard class for dealing with this?

Beou, since you are using $post as global, perhaps you can use $post->ID? Check it out, works for me when the other way doesn’t.

var_dump($post) says allot too.

DUH right!? Thanks Beou!

People actually reply to forum posts..

WordPress is a pain in the ass.. I am going to use PEAR MDB2 and save myself the headache of duct taping this solution. I created a page, applied a custom template to it, bound an action then executed it within the template. The performance was awful, maxing out at less then 20 concurrent requests when I tested under load.

I can write a simple class that connects to a database, selects WP data then have a few methods to display what to output and encode to JSON in less then 30 minutes of development. All while supporting a high number of requests (without caching).

Problem solved! Thanks me!
