404 Errors in Internet Explorer Only

    • Posted 4 years ago #

    There's little reason to run WP *inside* bbPress and it only makes for headaches. Running them integrated but standalone makes each of them faster and has a side benefit - one can work while the other is down for some reason.

    Virtually any of the data you might want from WP can be accessed with a few creative PHP/mysql calls from bbPress. If you let me know specifically what you are trying to do, I will try to help.

    I think i'm going to take your advice ck and not include the call to wp in bbpress.

    Hi, don't know whether this is solved or not... I am using wordpress 2.3.3 as a Blog section on one of my clients websites. I started getting the IE7 404 error on all my pages after I added almost pretty permalinks to my pages...It did seems to go when I removed the blog-header require statement, but obviously this didnt fix the problem! I set the permalinks back to default in wordpress and the 404 errors stopped! Might be worth trying if you are using pretty permas?...Let me know if it works!

    This is an old post, but I found a GREAT fix for this issue detailed in this article >> http://www.adrogen.com/blog/wordpress-wp-blog-headerphp-causes-404-in-ie/

    The code I finally replaced the "wp-blog-header.php" is here.

    /***********************************************************************
    * Blog Header Error Fix *
    ***********************************************************************/

    // Include WordPress functionality
    $currDir = dirname(getcwd());
    // Make sure this isn't install or admin (go up if it is)
    if(!file_exists("$currDir/wp-config.php"))
    $currDir = dirname($currDir);
    if(!file_exists("$currDir/wp-config.php"))
    die("Cannot find WordPress integration files.");
    // ***** OLD Blog Header Line *****
    //require_once("$currDir/wp-blog-header.php");

    // ***** New WP Integration stuff *****
    require("$currDir/wp-config.php");
    $wp->init();
    $wp->parse_request();
    $wp->query_posts();
    $wp->register_globals();

    /***********************************************************************/

    Made my life ALOT better....
