[videoblogging] Re: wordpress theme/code help?
I guess the slow glinding way to find the problem is to keep adding functionality to your test site until it exhibits the same problem. Ive had a brief go at sniffing for relevent bugs that may be due to fancy permalinks/clean url's, but I only found old bugs that shouldnt be relevent anymore: http://www.thunderguy.com/semicolon/2005/07/26/wordpress-pingback-and- trackback/ A lot of people like pretty permalinks, Id be surprised if it were a bug that affects everyone, maybe its a certain combination of stuff? Are you using pretty permalinks in the standard wordpress way?

Have you checked in with your web host's support service or forums? I use Dreamhost, and every once in awhile something happens that seems to be unique to their hosting service. I can't remember any exact example, but I think I recall something with pretty permalinks and the way my server handled mod_rewrite (it was on but not working as expected). I ended up making a custom mod to my .htaccess file to fix it. Another time I found the solution to a host/plugin incompatibility in the forums. Once I had to edit my xmlrpc file to get my site to accept crossposts from Flickr Blip - they stopped working for *no apparant reason* - I had not done an upgrade or anything. Here's my reference post about that, in case it leads you to something useful: http://www.hummingcrow.com/2007/06/19/fixed/ Cheryl --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, David Meade [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a gut feeling that the problem relates to using pretty permalinks.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: wordpress theme/code help?
Cheryl - If there was any doubt that I adored you, let me remind everyone: YOU ROCK! It was indeed a problem with my .htaccess file. I didn't even think of that! I was obsessing over php code and web logs but hadn't tried messing with the .htaccess. I went in and reordered a few of the rewrite rules and I actually got a pingback through! THANKS! Steve and Marcus thank you as well for your thought and suggestions. There may be more tweaking ahead for me but at least I've now seen it work and know where the road block was.
