Wordpress Errors and how to fix it?
July 9th, 2008 by postmaster
1) RSS link for Feed and Comments not working.
Possible fixes:
a) Remove the extra lines at the bottom of the wp-config.php file.
b) The theme that you are using might have a feed: - check that where it is located in the theme file and remove it.
2) Blog got injected with spam content. The spam will be invisible to visitors (because of the way they inject it) - but to search engines your website is containing lots of spam and will end up losing rank as well site getting banned.
Possible fixes:
a) If its a older version of Wordpress, please upgrade it to the latest one 2.5.1
b) Follow the upgrade process provided in the wordpress.org site, it is pretty simple actually. Before upgrading make sure you take backup of database, better yet make a note to take backup of database in a periodical manner.
c) Sign up for google webmaster tools and you can request under tools section for a reinclusion reconsideration where you can write to google team of what had happened.
d) Make sure that the theme you are using is from a reliable source and look out for any upgraded version from the theme authors.
3) Perma links problem, you have to use index.php if you are using IIS.
a) This is not an error as such - but if yours is a new site, try to see whether you have permission to mod rewrite or look in google for redirect 404 for wordpress permalink - you will find an alternate solution.
