Fixed. Sort of…

Monday, March 5th, 2007

Problem was something in the coding inside the ambatch rss feed for the sponsor links.

Solution (temporary solution) was to pull the feed. It was killing the site. Would not let WordPress render the rest of the page.

Pulling the feed means the site is commercially crippled temporarily. Will remedy that soon. But am at work on another, more pressing, income project at the moment.

I’ve had repeated problems with the html within the ambatch feed failing to validate. So this may just convince me it is time to replace the feed altogether.

Broken again

Monday, March 5th, 2007

How frustrating.

The sidebars are missing from Mind Body Spirit Journal. They were there yesterday. I didn’t touch the site yesterday. Gone today. Something with WordPress. How it broke, beats me.

I went into themes and got the message that the theme is broken. It says “template missing.”

But I don’t see any missing template. And have no idea how a template could go missing. Index.php is right there. Style.css is right there. I see no changes to either. No idea what is up.

So… site is down again.

Much as I love WordPress, I don’t love it sort of spontaneously combusting on me over and over. Wish there was a “one-button checkup” built into it. Or a “one-button restore” that would quickly troubleshoot it, and then repair any problems it finds by restoring from the last daily backup.

But alas…

And I can’t make time right now to spend hours troubleshooting. So it will sit as is, broken for awhile while I move a more pressing project forward.

P.S. If you happen to be a WordPress whiz and recognize the problem, please hit the “comment” button and tell me.

Site fixed! I think…. You can comment now

Thursday, February 8th, 2007

By swapping one file at a time and testing, I discovered that my ‘single.php’ file was corrupted.

It no longer is.

Other problems may exist that you can tell me about or that I will discover, but for now it seems like the site is working again, just like it is supposed to. And that is good.

I am going to go over the “corrupted” and the “new” versions of the single.php file, line by line, and see if I can figure out what went wrong where and why and when. If I am able to discover that, then I am less likely to create the same problem again. And if I do, I will know how to fix it right away.
