Link Not Found?

[bwileyvp]

Hello,
I have recently added a new page to my list. A user requested a link on this page as part of a stacked trade. The site is a WordPress blog and everything looks fine to me. Same install as I have done on dozens of WB installs before. The linkspun bot is reporting that it is not finding the link on my page. I have tried re-installing WP changing themes including changing the theme to the exact same theme I have working just fine on another website I can not get the bot to recognize the link. The URL of my website where I am attempting to post the link is http://u-then.com I do not have an error number because it has not gone through yet. Please Help. Thank You

are you doing html text widget for the link? I do not see the link you post on the page, what link are you trying to post to get the bot to recognize, i have good WP experience maybe i can help you out, if you can give me a little bit more information.

Good luck.

I am using the links feature built in to wordpress. The link appears in the "blogroll" list in the right column on http://u-then.com. I can see the link. I can click on the link and it takes me right to the page that it should. I have checked for spacing issues I just cant figure it out. The link is: <a href="http://www.sexcam-dude.com/">Sex Cam</a> I even tried adding it to the footer of my wordpress site to check if maybe it was just a glitch in the link feature. As stated before, I have tried deleting and reinstalling wordpress, I tried changing themes including trying themes that I have used successfully on other sites. Nothing seems to work.

OK I found the issue,.. I guess. I changed this line in header.php:

<h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>

To this:
<h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?> /"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>

The only problem was apparently a missing space between ?> and /"> and now it works... weird?????

Any thoughts on this or why this issue would persist even after switching themes numerous times and why it would happen using the same install file as I have used to install dozens of other WP sites that seem to work fine???

Weird

Are you using a new host? maybe not same php version as your other hosts.. thats weird though i dont understand.

if the line without space was working on other site and not on this one thats whats strange.

but if it wasnt working on other site, i think its because php doesnt understand the closing >/"> if no space. ?> for closing the php call tag and /"> for closing the href link url. if the href link url not closed than maybe all your site link arent working in some browser, including the linkspun bot i think.

This could have been a problem because the bot uses several regular expressions to dissect the page. If the page has errors in the code it can cause the bot to slice things up and not have the part with the link.
