Categories don’t work AGAIN… and much more!
-
WOW, this time wordpress really did a great job!
I was “screaming” about the “Categories don’t work” problem a week ago – https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=28947&replies=21 and i get a message from support@wordpress.com:
It should be working alright now.
Thank you for using WordPress.com…and it was working just fine… but today – SURPRISE, SURPRISE… Part of my categories don’t work again, and in other i see only 1 post, but i have 28 for example!
http://strangera.com/category/%d0%9f%d1%80%d0%b5%d0%b2%d1%8e/ \not working\
http://strangera.com/tag/%d0%a4%d0%b8%d0%bb%d0%bc%d0%b8/ \here i have 28, and i see only one\And now the “nice problem” – the names of my publications HAD CHANGED! Witch is just great, because huge part of the links to my blog don’t work now.
For example, the link for this post – “Mirror’s Edge превю” was http://strangera.com/2008/05/06/mirrors-edge-preview/
but now, all by itself the link has changed to – http://strangera.com/2008/05/06/mirrors-edge-%d0%bf%d1%80%d0%b5%d0%b2%d1%8e/I really hope that u have a really nice explanation this time around.
End yes, this time this “small” problem made me really mad :D

Last time people told you to report it to staff.
This time, we are also going to tell you to report it to staff.

Last time I report it to staff, now the first thing that i did BEFORE starting the topic, was to report it TO STAFF.
But 10x for the advise! ;)
-
And last time it got fixed.
So this time we say “report it to staff” and it might get fixed.
One thing we do know is, if you do NOT report it to staff before the weekend it will not get fixed before Monday. If you want it fixed before then, report it to staff before then.
-
Zzzz, i miss your point.. as i sad, it was reported already.
Sorry if i sound angry, but no links towards my blog are working, because the links “had changed” all by them selfs… feel me? ;)
-
Report again. And Again. And Again.
If that is what it takes to get it fixed. Once you’ve identified the route to get something fixed, hit it as often as it takes. And that route is the Contact Staff route.
http://wordpress.com/contact-support/Reporting it to the forum only makes volunteers more aware of issues they cannot fix.
-
My reason for starting a topic, is not to get the problem fixed by volunteers.
I start the topic, so other people that have the same problem, will know that they are not alone and the problem is not in there TV ;) -

I get a email for support that my problem is resolved. But if you check my blog, you will see that it is still a total mess!
Example category – Интернет (23) – http://strangera.com/tag/%d0%98%d0%bd%d1%82%d0%b5%d1%80%d0%bd%d0%b5%d1%82/
There are 23 publications, i see only 3Ревю (29) – http://strangera.com/tag/%d0%a0%d0%b5%d0%b2%d1%8e/ – 29 i see 2;
Филми (28) – http://strangera.com/tag/%d0%a4%d0%b8%d0%bb%d0%bc%d0%b8/ 28 i see 1;
+ the links are still different, from the links that i have created long time ago! a.k.a the url’s of all my publications that contain Cyrillic in the titles, had changed to total mess, and now NO LINKS toward my blog are working!
So i contacted support again.. Happy raincoaster? :)

Dude, sorry but i really have no idea what are you talking about?
Maybe i am just to dumb, or you are to intelligent, but i have no idea what you want to say with: “Doesn’t work. Don’t do that.” 0_o -

On the other hand, I had the same problem and strangera’s opening the previous topic on it did help me: it helped me realize that the problem wasn’t mine alone, that it wasn’t due to my computer or my browser, and that it had to do with the characters we use.
strangera: My categories work perfectly – BUT, before Support fixed whatever they fixed, I had followed the advice of another blogger (‘greekluthiers’) and changed the editable part of all my permalinks into exclusively latin character text.
-
This is the main problem… I aways changed the editable part of all my url’s into exclusively latin character text. But when i enter my blog yesterday ALL MY url’s had changed all by them self… So all the url’s in my blog (except the ones i renamed on my own again) are mest up.
-
Yes, I agree with strangera and panaghiotisadam that the forum post helped me realize the problem as well. So, raincoaster, it is indeed a good thing, also for obvious reasons that I will not mention here ;) I understand your frustration but you have to understand ours too.
By the way, I also changed all my permalinks to latin, but the problem is STILL THERE. And, yes, I have reported to staff.
How can it still be there if, by changing the permalinks, it was solved for other bloggers? Is it maybe the category names as well? They use Greek characters. Is it something else? Maybe the title of posts?
I really don;t feel like changing the category names of post titles in latin characters. If WP does not support or does not want to support Greek, we should know it and we will migrate. What a waste!
