  hello,

  i have been happily configuring my wordpress installation (2.2.2) – until yesterday.

  i moved its location on the server and the apache information. But this never caused any problems. i.e. Everything went fine, until i deleted my first post.

  In the RSS-widget (showing the feed oft he WP-blog) in the sidebar the title oft he deleted post was still visible (i think it reported a broken link).

  After a while the RSS feed in the widget showed an error-statement (something like: come back later…) while the RSS feed from the adress line oft he browser ist still working .

  I had WP-cache on, so i deactivated and deisntalled it. No success. RSS-widget still not working anymore.

  Since then the sidebar has been causing nothing but trouble – or at least: sorrow

  – The photoalbums of my WPG2-embedded gallery that i installed afterwars have never appeared in the the sidebar.

  – Blogroll has vanished although it had been there in the default template (though it shows up in other themes – sometimes –i assume this depends on the templates)

  – Now i installed the simple-tagging-plugin but all links oft he tags just point to a 404 error. (onyl the category-links seem to work)

  I deactivated most of my plugins, (i even suspected a link in the stats from the deleted post to haunt the database)

  Now i am pretty positive there is something wrong between with my sidebar. Is that a database problem?

  What would be the best way to proceed now?

  there are far too many variables that could be responsible (i regret as hell not having set-up a new WP from the start instead of re-activating my friend´s under a ne url.)

  Sometims changes I did show up immediately on the sidebar – sometimes they used to, but now don´t. sometimes they refuse to show up at all.

  Despite the bandwith of possible mistakes, i tried googlng the all the errors – also in the forums. No luck

  Does anyone know what i should do now???

  I just want it to be working again, i would also be willing to install a new WP on my server.

  But how could i make sure i am not re-importing the errors in my system by exporting the data or re-installing the databse?

  Please, i´ve tried all i know (browser cache, database „repair“ via phpmyadmin), i would be very thankful for any general hints how to approach this problem.

  In case i have to setup a new WP.
  Would an „export“ of the databse be better?
  Or a copy of db and the files on the server better

  After days of configuring i just wouldn´t want to install my whole Wp-system again.

  As i am an enthusiastick WP-newbie i would like to ask you WP Professionals what yuo would do:

  What woulkd be the best procedure in my case to get rid of my problem…?

  i reactivated the rss-widget in case you want a look.

  thank you for any hint.

  You mention wordpress 2.2.2, which is the downloadable version of wordpress from wordpress.org. WordPress.com uses a multi-user version which is completely different.

  You need to direct your questions to the forum over at wordpress.org.
