Latest WP and Latest Gallery, not sure what is wrong

scottkct

What you are describing is a classic rewrite issue and has nothing to do with the new version of WPG2, unfortunately none of your links work as they all return 404 domain not found, so I cannot see this behaviour first hand. I would start with the basics

A) I would disable the Gallery2 rewrite plugin
B) Ensure the Gallery2 rewrite rules have been deleted from your .htaccess that will either be in your Wordpress or Root Directory depending on your configuration..

Then see what the links are doing.. Also I made it is pretty clear why the we cannot provide the setting to directly link to Gallery2 in a few other threads, this is not going to happen so I am not going to cover this ground again..

More oddness I just found.

When I view the embedded G2 none of the links are right.
http://www.karieandscott.com/blog/gallery

All links in the embedded gallery goes to /blog/... instead of /blog/gallery/...
Could it be an issues with my G2 URL Rewrite rules? They havn't change either and I even deleted my .htaccess in my /gallery/ dir and reactivated URL Rewrite to recreate it.

I tried to modify the baseUri in G2 config but that made things worse..

It seems the root of my problem is the embeded gallery isn't working at all. When viewing the embedded gallery I select my first album and it takes me out of /blog/gallery/... and into just /blog/... If I manually add "gallery" back into the URL so that it goes to what I expect the embedded G2 album url to be it stays at the G2 hompage. So even if the URLs were right, the gallery still wouldn't work.

Alright, I think I've narrowed down the problem. I can get WPG2 and G2 to work only when I have the WPG2 Rewrite Module off and URL Rewrite and Permalinks off in G2. As soon as I enable everything, I'm back at square 1.

I suspect there seems to be an issues with the .htaccess the WPG2 rewrite module is using. An additional problem I have is if I have my .htaccess there with my old WP rules for clean permalinks, activating the Rewrite Module doesn't change the blog .htaccess. The Rewrite Module options page then becomes blank. I have to reactivate the WPG2 plugin in order to get back to the Rewrite Module options. If before activating the rewrite module, I remove my .htaccess, the module creates the .htaccess with it rules. The problem with this is it doesn't have my one rule I need for clean blog permalinks which is

RewriteRule (.+) index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

Adding this doesn't solve anything, in fact it takes me back to my problem when I first posted this. To get it to work, I've had to reactivate WPG2, not touch WPG2 Rewrite Module (left off), and deactivate URL Rewrite and Permalinks in G2. This gives me the functionality I would expect from the new WPG2 embedded architecture.

The problem now is I don't have Permalinks in G2. This is better than my whole blog not working but I have my gallery sitemapped in Google with permalinks. In addition to having ugly URLs which I don't like.

Any idea what I can do to get permalinks back into my gallery?

Sorry I jumped the gun. I thought I was on to something. Attached is the event logs from my last WPG2 plugin activation and WPG2 Rewrite Module Activations.

The interesting thing is that I have now reactivated the plugin/module many times and I've experienced different results as far as my original .htaccess in my /blog dir. Sometimes nothing happens (the orig .htaccess is untouched), sometimes it adds a the WPG2 rewrite code but before my original code creating 2 separate IF statement one after the other, and then just now the my existing code was completely replaced with the WPG2 code.

One thing I noticed is that when I activate the Rewrite Module, my URL Rewrite and Permalink plugins in G2 get deactivated. Activating them does nothing to solve the problem, just fixes permalinks in the standalone gallery.

scottkct,

I think we can rule out any WPG2 bug, because from what I see in the WPG2 Debug Log the WPG2 plugin is correctly identifying the location of Wordpress and instructing Gallery2 Rewrite Module to write the file in what appears to be the correct location inside your blog directory..

From your posted behaviour, it is very possible that Gallery2 is tripping over your wordpress .htaccess for some reason or another.. What it should be constructing is Gallery2 Rewrite Rules First, followed by your Wordpress Rewrite Rules Second in your blog directory from your posts that is clearly not happening..

Your .htaccess in your wordpress directory should look like what I posted below.. It would be an interesting experiment to update your wordpress .htaccess file to look like below..

Please note your custom structure is not unique and the Wordpress Codex warns you against using this structure..
