Blank page after posting comments in Wordpress 2.6

Filed under: Wordpress plugins — Kyle M Brown @ 4:47 am

Blank page after posting comments in Wordpress 2.6 - Im creating this post because I had this issue and spent a few hours filter through the many post on this topic but none of the resolutions either worked or were exactly like mine to begin with. So experience is as follows:

Issue:

  • At some point after upgrading to 2.6 I noticed that users that submitted comments were getting a blank page ending with normalstuff/wp-comments-post.php.
  • However, I could comment on the same post without any issue while logged in as an admin.
  • The problem only happened on older post, post created a couple of versions prior the 2.6 upgrade. Post created following the 2.6 upgrade worked both as the admin and the user.

Resolution:

  • The wp-comments-post.php document contained a blank line after the closing php tags “?>” (around line #85). This causes issues in PHP at times. I removed the blank space, tested posting comments to at least 3 post that had failed prior and the issue appears to be resolved.

Flash crashes in Googles Chrome and other info

Filed under: Google — Kyle M Brown @ 1:34 pm

Literally minutes after reading about this Chrome Flash issue at Bg Theory, I expereinced the issue.

I installed Flash 10 player (beta) and the issue appears to be resolved. I had Firefox, Internet Explorer and Chrome open at the time.

I was only asked to close Firefox and, Chrome (via an installation failure message) to complete the Flash Player installation.

I also found the Chrome TOS (after really reading it) to be interesting.

The Google Web Browser releasing on 9.2.2008

Filed under: Google — Kyle M Brown @ 6:00 pm

So it appears that Google is releasing a web browser called “Chrome” on 9.2.2008. It will be interesting to see how it fairs against Mozilla’s Firefox and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer.

As of the end June 2008 Internet Explorer has 73% market share and Firefox had 14%. ¹

Apparently Google accidentally released a comic illustrating the new browser and later made an announcement to clean up the slip.

I found several reasons and features that I feel will make this browser useful. Ironically, several of the features are missing from Firefox and IE today.

And in our spare time, we shop, bank, read news and keep in touch with friends — all using a browser. Because we spend so much time online, we began seriously thinking about what kind of browser could exist if we started from scratch and built on the best elements out there.

Usability should be based on actual usage not not unclear requirements.

On the surface, we designed a browser window that is streamlined and simple. To most people, it isn’t the browser that matters.

Hopefully wont be overloaded with useless buttons and added functionality. Just clean fast browsing.

By keeping each tab in an isolated “sandbox”, we were able to prevent one tab from crashing another and provide improved protection from rogue sites

Often in IE and Firefox one tab crashes and all other open tabs are affected as the entire browser must be closed and reopened.
