Website development and design troubleshooting/ question

[Sport]

I'll start:
I have a WP website and recently, when I try to visit one of the pages I get the following message: This webpage has a redirect loop.
 Anybody have advice on how to fix this. I'm pretty much a novice when it comes to website development, so any help in layman's terms will be appreciated.
TIA

you can try this
1. Sign into a WordPress admin account for your website.



2. In the WordPress dashboard under the Settings tab on the left sidebar, select Permalinks.



3. In the Common Settings briefly select a different setting for your permalink structure and then select your original permalink setting and click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page.

Seems simple enough, I'll try this and report back. Thanks

Thanks but this didnt work. Any other suggestions ?

I figured it out. Played around with some of the settings on the page.
This was after changing some of the coding in the c-Panel file manager,( as suggested by some website) didnt work.

I have a HTML form that has an onsubmit event that should trigger a Javascript function. the function does some cleanup on the form values before submitting it
 the function triggers fine in Chrome and FF but not in ie.

the syntax is

<form id="myform" class="inline-form" name="myform" action="url" method="post" onSubmit="before_submit()" autocomplete="off">

In chrome and FF the function "before_submit()" fires while in IE it posts the form without running the function??

TIA

what is the js code?

[smurf]

what is the js code?

can't post the function right now. But that definitely isn't the problem.
The solution I have so far is that I have "return verify()" that I use in the onclick of the submit button that makes sure all the fields are filled. When I put the before_submit() caller in the verify() function it works.
Seems like ie handles form.onsubmit functions differently.

You're right IE is the problem.

do you have a return false?

If the event handler is called by the onsubmit attribute of the form object, the code must explicitly request the return value using the return function, and the event handler must provide an explicit return value for each possible code path in the event handler function.

Are you sure that the function isn't firing? Maybe it's going through it and isn't finding any errors for whatever reason? Adding a

Code: [Select]

console.log('test'); anywhere in the function should be able to confirm that.

I put an alert() as the first line of the function and nothing. It's like YIM said

It looks like the onsubmit in IE can only handle Return True/false. Whereas I simply wanted to execute the function

I you copy paste your JS than people could try to help you do it right, other wise go figure it out. just saying

Will it also find images that are used on custom pages, or even hardcoded into PHP (I know, I know...)?

I would assume not, since my guess is that it checks the DB for references (I may be wrong though!). Just curious, why do you want to delete all of the unused images? They don't change load time on your website, and I doubt that you have so many images that your server is full, if that's the case, then you need to rethink the way you do images.

Server is not full (AFAIK). But every time I download/backup wp-content to refresh my dev site, it goes through tons of images, and I doubt they are all used.

Is there a better way to run a dev site?

You can download everything besides your images folder

True. It's a little more effort but probably worth it.

I wonder if there's a better way to run a dev site than copying over the files and DB.

Definitely, your website should start locally be fully subversioned and only then uploaded (either directly from the subversion or not), not the other way around.
