All links lead to gallery2

Using WP 2.3.1 and WPG2 3.0.2. Since I've upgraded to 2.3.1, many of the links on my site, which previously pointed to pages (they're still there), now point to gallery2:

Example:

http://david.kabal.org/wpg -> Gallery2
http://david.kabal.org/webcams -> Gallery2 (????)
http://david.kabal.org/wish-list -> Gallery2 (????)
http://david.kabal.org/about -> about me page....

It's like WPG2 or G2 have gone crazy redirecting everything to my gallery, but still some pages are OK. I've tried updating permalinks and revalidating, as well as turning url redirects on and off, to no avail.

Any advice or help is appreciated!

Tag Suggest Thing 1
Time Zone 2.3
WordPress Database Backup 2.1.4
WordPress Mobile Edition 2.0

Thanks,

Not yet. Gallery2 rewrites WERE off, and I turned them on and then off again. Then I turned permalinks on and off again. All failed to resolve the problem.

Thanks for pointing me at the w* problem though. It hadn't even occurred to me that only pages starting with letter w failed. One of my other plugins, filemanager, fails too, because the page it links to is: http://david.kabal.org/wp-admin/fm.php....

Any other ways to fix it? It seems to be an interaction between 3.2.1 and WPG 3.0.2, because I think 3.2 worked fine.

Cheers,
Dave

Yer right. If I change from my permalink structure:

/%postname%.html

to the default permalink structure, w pages work properly. Unfortunately, this means that tens if not hundreds of internal links will stop working (links between posts use the format above)

Any other ideas?

(Silly question, why is this rewriting happening to gallery2 even when the rewrites are off?)

Thanks,
Dave

OK, I deleted .htaccess, and then updated permalinks in WordPress, following by turning on WPG2 Gallery2 rewrites. It created a new .htaccess. Still,

http://david.kabal.org/webcams

Goes to my Gallery page. Interestingly enough, it takes a REALLY long time to do so.

I do not know how to "get a dump" of my internal WP rewrite array, but would be happy to do so.

Thanks for your time helping me on this! For the record, the WPG2 rewrites are awesome!

Cheers,
Dave

Dave,

In addition to the internal WP rewrite array that Ozgreg is having you dump, could you also cut and paste the latest .htaccess from your WP root.

Hiya Nocabt,

The issue is your webdev rule ([w(/[^?]*)?] > index.php?page_id=37&g2_controller=webdav.WebDav&g2_path=%1) is grabbing all w/ pages and redirecting them to Gallery2. Unfortunately this is simply the limitation of combining two sets of rewrite rules..

In my case I have renamed my WPG2 Page to Photos, and appended Photos to my Download Item and Slideshow Rules which should also work in your case..

Note: After changing the Gallery2 rewrite rules please also re-run the Gallery2 Rewrite Checking via the WPG2 -> Gallery2 rewrites tab.

hi ozgreg and capt_kirk,

it worked to turn off webdav rewrites.

what's the donation link for wpg2? i'd like to make a (modest) contribution to such a supportive community.

thanks again,
thomas

Just wanted to send in a "me too" message. All of my wordpress posts that have post slugs that start with the letter "w" are showing up to users as my Gallery front page, not the post page.

This seems like a bug -- is it? Is a fix coming from the developers or are we mere mortals expected to work around this? Is this a WPG2 "problem" or a Gallery "problem" in the rewrite rules? Sorry, I'm a designer, not a programmer or a sysadmin, so I'd appreciate some bonehead-friendly guidance here.

Thanks very, very much.

I'm using Wordpress 2.3.1, WPG2 3.0.2, and here are my Gallery systems details:

Gallery version = 2.2.2 core 1.2.0.4

Thanks so much for the prompt and thorough response, ozgreg.

I believe what you suggested doing (ie, "turn off WebDAV") entails:

1. going to Gallery's Site Admin -> Plugins, and then scrolling down to WebDAV and deactivating it.
2. afterwards, go into the Wordpress administrative area, deactivate the WPG2 plugin and then re-activate it and check all the settings panels. (it may be that you can just go to the WPG2 -> Gallery2 Rewrites panel, and not have to deactivate and reactivate the plugin, I'm not sure).

I did these two steps, and it seems to have fixed my problem. To be completely thorough in my answer: A post with the slug "w" would still rewrite to "wpg2," but a post slugged, for instance, "whichever", would come up properly in the browser.

Thank you for the advice, and best regards.

thanks for all the support on this. now, however, everytime i log in/out of WP it turns WPG2 rewrites "off" automatically. ideas?

thanks,
thomas

Two years and change later. The WebDAV seems to cause this problem of redirecting all requests to Gallery2. Disabling seems to have fixed these problems.

Running Gallery 2.3.1 and WordPress 2.9.1 with WPG2 3.0.7

Thanks for solving this problem and posting this workaround.
