I got into a similar situation when I installed an RSS to blog script (WPMI). However I do not use it, just tried. But an empty name syndrom occured.

I like wordpress alot,as it provides many features and it is simple.
But, the permalinks problem is something I wonder why the developers can not solve.

So simple and yet I couldn’t figure it out by myself :/ Anyway, thanks for sharing the solution!

Comments working again

Almost went crazy when I realised that comments couldn’t seem to be posted properly on this blog shortly after upgrading to WordPress 1.5.3. After a little swearing and 2 almost-clean installs of WordPress (everything fresh except the MySQL data…

I’ve just added data for user 2. Could you try to leave me another comment & see what happens.

Also, does it matter what user level user 2 has? Now it’s 1.

Thanks.

Richard,

It would be possible using sql to associate those posts with user 1 but it might be easier to simply name user 2 as Typepad or something similar so you know in the future that those posts were made before you migrated to WP

It wouldn’t be a good idea to try to give the user the same name and password as your user 1

Cheers,

Tom

After posting this comment I discovered the nature of my problem. I do have a user 2 listed to which 250 posts are associated. Those posts now have no author. This must’ve happened by accident when Carthik was importing my typepad posts into my new wp blog. Is there an easy way to get those 250 posts associated with user 1 (me) instead of user 2? If I merely give user 2 a name & password will that solve the problem? Could I give user 2 the exact same name & password as user 1?

Richard,

you can’t see the Logged in as . because you are already logged in as Administrator. If you go to the Admin Panel and Logout or use a browser you haven’t logged in with you will see the Logged in as . problem (I just did it on your blog.

You need to Edit line two in your list of users to add a name and password - this should sort your problem,

Hope this helps - let me know how you get on,

Tom

Tom: I’m having a simlar problem to yours but it doesn’t follow all the symptoms you laid out. I just converted a Tyepapd blog to WP. I got my first comment today on the wp blog and all the ID boxes were empty except IP.

So I posted to the Support forum & someone pointed me to your post. But my problem is that I don’t see the logged in Logout button as you do. Here’s what I wrote in reply in the forum:

Before I start I should say that I’ve left a comment today on my blog & all of my data appears in the proper ID boxes. But as you said all of the external commenter’s ID boxes are empty.

I used IE (instead of my normal Firefox) to access both the blog & admin panel. I don’t see anything like “logged in as . Logout.” I see “Logout Administrator” (if we’re both talking about the admin panel). I see the same thing when using FF.

When I view the user list as Tom Rafferty suggests I don’t see two users (which he says is the cause of the problem). I only see myself in line 1. THere is a line 2 with nothing filled in except a few numbers like so:

2 - 1 + 278 Edit

A note: when I click on Comments in order to leave a comment, I see the following error:
“WordPress database error: [Table 'richard2_wp.wp152_exhibit' doesn't exist]
SELECT ID FROM wp152_exhibit WHERE post_ID = 770 and preview = 1 ORDER BY picorder;”

I don’t know whether this has anything to do with my problem or not. The error is prob. due to the fact that Carthik has been helping me to convert my blog from typepad to WP and there are prob. some db conversion issues still to be ironed out.
