Just updated today and now post headlines repeat and repeat.
 
I've tried changing the options on the dashboard to remove putting the name on multipost pages to no avail. How to fix this?

Also, there is no place to put comments on the front page. The user has to go to each post (with the repeating title) to find the comment box at the bottom.

Would love to go back to the version that I replaced today.

Please give me explicit directions. Remember how limited I am about code? Well, unfortunately nothing has changed.

Thanks.

Did you apply ALL the patches for 3.6.7?
  • PATCH 367-01: Odd effects when 'CSS: Compress' = 'Yes'
  • PATCH 367-02 is incorporated in PATCH 367-04
  • PATCH 367-03: PHP errors when adding widget areas in index.php
  • PATCH 367-04: Hovering over a Post/Page title only shows "Permanent Link to"
  • PATCH 367-05: Site Title appended after the 'WordPress SEO by Yoast' title

forgot to give you my site name: arthritis-alternatives.com.

Titles on the front page are OK. If you click on one you see multiple run together titles.

Also, spaces between some words in heading have been eliminated. How to fix ?

Need to add 'comment' option back to footer after each article.

The good news: this update didn't remove Google Analytics.

Many thanks.

Sorry. I didn't see your reply before I sent the last message.

No, I haven't installed patches. Can you tell me how to do it? Where do they go?

thomascpap Aug 12, 2011 05:03 PM

Hi, just joined for this reason as well since I'm having a similar issue. I also am interested in where the patches go, sorry for being a burden and thank you for the links to the patches!

lmilesw Aug 12, 2011 05:57 PM

Did you follow the links I sent. The instructions of how and where are there.

The patches are all just files that you upload to replace the current files that are there.

sjolyjuly Aug 13, 2011 09:24 AM

I applied the fixes 01 and 04. I now have different problems. The repeating title went away but the site refuses randomly to add the title to a post. Also, I had one - only one - of my private posts print as though it was designated to be published. I couldn't edit the problem away. I finally had to trash it, which worked.

my site it: arthritis-alternatives.com.

What do I need to do?

thanks.

thomascpap:

I'm not an expert, obviously, but the patches need to be put into your source code. In my case that is part of wordpress.org which I have hosted by hostmonster.com. I called hostmonster and they told me how to do it.

Just be sure to give them ALL the information, including file and line numbers, about the patches in the reply posted by juggledad and lmilesw.

sjolyjuly Aug 13, 2011 11:13 AM

all patches have been installed. no change in problems with posts mentioned above. titles randomly not showing and posts that are 'private' are also showing.

help.

juggledad Aug 13, 2011 11:43 AM

If you go to the actual post (dashboard->post->Edit post) is the title correct there?
Do you have any plugins? If so try temporallary deactivating them all
If you switch to the Twenty-ten theme, does the same thing happen?
can you point to a post/page where the issue happens?

I kept refreshing the page and don't see anything changing.

sjolyjuly Aug 13, 2011 02:35 PM

If you go to the actual post (dashboard->post->Edit post) is the title correct there? yes. it looks fine except on the public display.

Do you have any plugins? If so try temporallary deactivating them all I deactivated them before I installed the changes and reactivated after. The problem didn't change.

If you switch to the Twenty-ten theme, does the same thing happen? Is that safe to do? I'm afraid of more problems.

can you point to a post/page where the issue happens? It happens with the first post. Do you see a title on your screen that looks like the other post titles? on my screen, the title for the first post is missing. I stuck it in the body as the first line. This happens randomly with my other posts.

I kept refreshing the page and don't see anything changing.

Thanks.

sjolyjuly Aug 13, 2011 04:35 PM

Would it help if I copied and pasted the source code with changes here where you can see it?

juggledad Aug 13, 2011 05:02 PM

Actually, I'd need to get into the back end. Is there any special characters in the Title?

sjolyjuly Aug 14, 2011 07:50 AM

There is a colon but that is in many of my post titles that look ok.

Here is the code I transferred for patch 4. I've included the first lines, 1-14, which resemble the patch, and the actual patch, lines 2942-2954. In copies I've made for other things I've found that sometimes a little glitch occurs in a transfer. Do you see anything ?

Thanks.

?? patch 4 is to bfa_post_parts.php not css.php - I assume you mean patch 1.
if you want me to take a look, send me a pm with a admin ID/PW

sjolyjuly Aug 14, 2011 02:58 PM

You are right about my misstatement.

Can I download the update and try again before I put you to a lot of trouble? Any caveats before I do that?

juggledad Aug 14, 2011 03:37 PM

Make sure you apply all four (4) patches

This appears to have worked for me (double title in posts). Thank you

sjolyjuly Aug 15, 2011 09:59 AM

Many thanks.

Juggledad: I don't have to apply patch #2 because it is in #4, right?

And I don't have to apply patch #5 if I don't use Yoast?

Where can I find an update that is not a new theme download, which might wipe out my website? Since I updated once the automatic option has gone away.

correct

why not apply it anyway, who knows you might decide to use Yoast in the future and it will save you some grief

you mean an update of the theme with all these patches in it? There isn't one. Just down load the patches, unzip them and then upload them to your host. You are just changing the theme code and not touching the database where the info about the site is stored.
