Going through my site and reactivated the plugins one by one to find the “problem children”. Here is what I found:
The following plugins appear to work with the latest WP 2.7 trunk: they can be activated and managed.
Akismet
All in One Adsense and YPN
All in One SEO Pack
FeedBurner FeedSmith
Google Analytics for WordPress
Google XML Sitemaps
GoStats
Inline Google Maps
K2 Disable Widgets
Lightbox 2
MaxBlogPress DealDoCom Widget
NextGEN FlashViewer
NextGen Gallery
No Browse Happy
Post Thumb Revistied
Post Thumb Revistied template library
Post Thumb widget
Shutter Reloaded
Stumple Info Link
TimesToCome
WordPress.com Stats
wordtube
WP-DBManager
WP-Highslide
WP-Spamfree
WP Super Cache
The following plugin do not work properly with the latest WP 2.7 trunk: no error upon activation, however attempting to managed them you receive errors:
Events Calendar - “page not found” error
NextGEN Gallery - “page not found” error
Plugins that conflict with each other:
“K2 disable widget” conflicts with “AJAX Calendar” - error:”Fatal error: Call to undefined function register_sidebar_widget() in C:\Webroot\www.crazytrike.com\wp-content\plugins\ajax-calendar\plugin.php on line 489″
“K2 disable widget” conflicts with “WP125” - blank pages display if both plugins are activated
To resolve thses issues, I choose to deactivate AJAX Calendar and WP125 plugins as K2 Sidebar manager offers greater flexibility in setting up which widget show up where.
Since I am unable to manage my galleries in NextGEN gallery, I’ll revert back to WP 2.6.1
Working on my blog earlier today and I blew it up! Well - not really as I got it back 3 hours later. Be careful with plug-ins and added PHP code laying around.
WP Super Cache has never worked on my setup (Windows 2003, IIS, MySQL), has to do with IIS not having “mod rewrite”. There may be a means to do it, however, that’s how I brought my site down. I’ll have to play later.
I’ve been working with Wordpress since March, learning along the way and have found quite a few things to make the default Wordpress install work inside IIS 6.0 and thought I’d share my experiences…
When I installed WP, I choose to do so on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6.0 (that’s what I run my domain servers on). I didn’t want to invest additional time learning a new opperating system on top of configuring a new blog.
Wordpress.org is a great source of information for installing wordpress and required backend programs.
What I have running:
Windows Server 2003
IIS 6.0
PHP 5.2.6
MySQL 5.0
I made sure that all the backend programs were installed and functioning before I took on the challenge of getting Wordpress to work.
Once the backend programs are installed and working, the instal of Wordpress is really easy: follow the scripts, make sure you have the required permissions setup, and all goes really smoothly.
There is a “gotcha”. You need to ensure your php.ini has the correct parameters for MySQL, otherwise, wordpress stops and tells you that you don’t have MySQL setup.
Once I finished the install, looking for a template that I could modify became my next task. I’m using K2 as it is highly customizable.
Wordpress 2.5 has a nice gallery feature built in, but decided I needed additional features, I’m using NextGen Gallery for this purpose.
I have my own content (photos and such), needing a means to manage it all, NextGen Gallery does what it is supposed to do.
Other plugins I am using are mainly for search engine optimization, Google intergration, site management, etc.
While loking to cleanup my link structure (permalink), IIS doesn’t have the features that Apache does, however, going through wordpress.org’s permalink page, came across URL Rewriting for WordPress under IIS by Dean Lee.
This is an ISAPI .dll application that so far has worked as advertised in displaying “propper” links (I was having issues with using permalinks, getting page not found errors ).
So far so good, 4 months, 50 posts later, I think I’m getting the hang of it!
