I have recently installed wordpress on my Windows 7 machine for use with IIS7.5 and SQL Server 2008. The install went in with no issues and everything fired up correctly but I have some really major issues.
1.) In my dashboard when clicking on Posts>All Posts, my list of posts is empty and yet the links at the top (All, Published, Drafts) all show as having counts against them. I can browse to these post by entering the URL in directly to the browser but can't see them through the dashboard. The posts don't show up through the search either. This is also the same behavior for media libs too. It says the files are there but can be seen in the list.
2.) When trying to upload images I have two issues. The first is that when I try to upload an image with default settings from install I was getting a message like "Missing a temporary folder". I know there are a load of posts on this but none of the fixes have worked. I used the PHP Info file to get the default directory which was "C:\windows\temp". So I tried to override it in the PHPconfig using the upload_tmp_dir directory but it didn't change. So I changed the permission on the folder to allow "IUSR" and IIS users read and wright access but now I get the message "An error occurred in the upload". The weird thing is when I look in the wp-content/uploads folder, some of my images are there but can't be seen through the dashboard.
Can anyone help. I have search for hours trying to find resolutions but nothing works.
Thanks
I have resolved both of the issues above. I cannot write the resolutions here as they are quite long winded but for anyone who comes across the same issues please review my blog post here: http://blog.building-blocks.com/installing-wordpress-on-windows-using-sql-server-2008-r2-part-1

I'm using Laravel 8 on Heroku and keep getting 404 errors for some fonts. This just started happening earlier today but I haven't changed any of my code in several days.
This is a sample of what I'm seeing from laravel's error handler:
404 - https://www.example.com/%7B%7BEXTENSION_BASE_URL%7D%7D/b06871f281fee6b241d60582ae9369b9.ttf
404 - https://www.example.com/%7B%7BEXTENSION_BASE_URL%7D%7D/fee66e712a8a08eef5805a46892932ad.woff
404 - https://www.example.com/%7B%7BEXTENSION_BASE_URL%7D%7D/af7ae505a9eed503f8b8e6982036873e.woff2
I searched my entire directory for EXTENSION_BASE_URL and it doesn't exist anywhere in my code.
The user id's associated with these errors are not unique and it seems to be happening to multiple people. It's the same three font files as above each time.
My best guess is there's some kind of plugin people have installed that's trying to use a custom font that doesn't exist. I can't find any reference to EXTENSION_BASE_URL when I do searches online, so I can't figure out where it's actually coming from.
The only custom fonts I use are an import for Raleway from the Google Fonts API. I have jQuery 2.2.4, Bootstrap 3.3.7 and FontAwesome 5.4.1 which might also be including fonts with their CSS. Aside from the Raleway include, the versions for the other CSS files haven't changed in a while.
Since it doesn't seem to be affecting everyone and I can't track down what these font files are, my plan is to simply exclude these font files from showing up in my logs. I'd love to know what caused this though so I can take any other action if necessary
We had this same problem with some of our users and we tracked it down to a browser extension called ProWriting Aid Grammar Checker which is for the website https://prowritingaid.com/.
In our case, not only was it creating the errors you mention with fonts, it also caused some JavaScript to execute improperly.
This extension is available on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge. We had users across all these browsers have the same problem. It is clear that the problem code is shared across all these browser extensions' code base.
Having users uninstall that extension solved our issues.
I have this odd situation. When creating (or updating) a product in the images section whenever I select a file (or multiple files) the list the selected files doesn't appear therefore I can't upload any images to a product. I don't have ANY errors in the console or in the log and the most odd is that when running the code on a localhost it works. All the required folders on the server exists and they are writable. Any ideas on what could be the reason?
Please check Flash browser plugin working. It's should be installed and enabled.
ok, guys, I found the problem. It easy at it seems took me a lot of time to realize that it's only working when accessing the website with www
I have successfully deployed a running website on the app engine - here is the URL:
https://black-backup-96302.appspot.com/
This website was on a PHP hosting, and we migrated it to Google Apps, and deployed it using the App Engine. I understand that to put up any media, I will have to change my local version, and then re-deploy it. Same goes for plugins. However, when I browse into my local version using the App Engine launcher, login wordpress, and try to add an image in the media section, I get an error, as shown in the image below:
I googled this, and understand it is a permission error from the file system. My folder has a "Read only" checkbox which is marked blue, and no matter how many times I uncheck it, it is checked again.
I also assigned all the users full control, i.e. the following privileges (to folders, and subfolders)
Any help or ideas will be appreciated!
Adding google_app_engine.disable_readonly_filesystem = 1 to your php.ini file should fix the issue.
apologies if this has been covered but I have searched for an answer on the internet.
I need to create a spry menu in dreamweaver. First I used sprymenu 1, but found that it didn't work on an ipad. So then I was directed to the SpryMenu2 widget.
My problem is that when I try to upload this onto my server I keep getting the error message 'SpryMenu.js requires SpryWidget.js!' I have checked, and these files are all uploaded.
Question: how do I fix this error, OR is there an alternative to create a spry-type menu that will work on an ipad?
many thanks for any help
I've recently encountered this. Make sure the file size of SpryWidget.js is the same size as the on in dreamweaver.
I first uploaded with Filezilla and got this error. Then I tried DW upload and still got the error. Lastly, I went directly to GoDaddy's FTP file manager and uploaded and it fixed the problem. For some reason it was being changed when uploading on DW or FZ. Now if I can only find out why mine won't work on mobile...
Best of luck
I'm encountering a really frustrating problem with WordPress and I hope someone can help. Images are uploading to WordPress correctly (they are in the library) but once a file is uploaded there is simply a blank screen. Closing and reopening the "Add an Image" window, I still cannot add them to posts unless I enter the full URL because the "Media Library" tab simply doesn't show anything (see below - interface shows there are 33 images and 4 tabbed pages, but none of them are displayed.
I've about reached the end of my rope trying to fix this problem. Searched and searched and can find no answer. Some people had similar problems, and I tried all of their posted solutions, including:
Uninstalled all plugins
Nuked and reinstalled all wordpress files
Checked browser versions (occurring in Chrome 7.0.5 and FireFox 3.2)
No JavaScript errors found (used Firebug and Chrome's JS panel)
Checked domain name in Settings for improper capitalization
Checked image URL to make sure there was no gibberish, and there isn't
Does anyone have any suggestions (I'm running version 3.0.2 on Apache)? I'd be forever in your debt. Thank you!
Oops, it won't let me post an image because of 'spam protection.' Drats!
