I’ve stumbled across an issue with Exec-PHP… maybe someone else has reported it… when I have the plugin activated, it prevents editors from editing others’ posts. (Running WP 2.9.1). Problem only affects editors, not administrators.

An editor can still “View” or “Trash” a post another user wrote under Edit Posts, but cannot click on the post to edit it. All the posts appear de-linked onscreen. Deactivating the plugin restores editors’ ability to globally edit posts. This also affects comment moderation, apparently.

Seems like a bug to me… a plugin should not disable the normal functionality of WordPress. Any ideas on why this is happening?

Basically, this means that if you are embedding an image called Image.jpg that is located in, for instance, images/Commercial/Image.jpg, you can omit the caps in the filepath and filename when Permalinks is turned off and the picture will display, but you MUST include the caps if Permalinks is on.

I really don’t know what the reason for this behavior is, but I suspect it has smth to do with htaccess. I thought I should inform you about this because those users that have Permalinks on might run into the same issue while calling or executing php functions.

I hope this is helpful to you.

Best!

I tried using ABSPATH and also the complete path to the php file I’m calling for but it didn’t work.
However, I wanted to thank you for your help and to let you know that I’ve been experimenting with this a little (actually, quite a lot!) and I don’t think my pb is due to an interaction between .htaccess and the plugin anymore, since I was able to post different ads through php-exec with Permalinks on with no problem. Aren’t you relieved? ;-)
Since I’m very new in php, I’m thinking it could be a variable or tag I’m using in the php/css that is not compatible with php or smth. I’ll keep researching and I’ll let you know if I make any discoveries that related to the plugin.
Take care!

This was working like a charm until today, when I decided to create a blank .htaccess file in my domain root folder in order to use the “Pretty Permalinks” option WP has. WP generated the following code inside my .htaccess:

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

Immediately after doing so, my ads disappeared (the space for the ads was still there, and so were the links, but no images displayed). At first I thought I had messed smth up in the style sheet file, but then I tried setting Permalinks back to “default” and the ads reappeared.

I have other ads in my page loaded directly from the sidebar.php (not as a widget) with very similar html and css code and those do not get affected with Permalinks on. Is php-exec incompatible with Permalinks or perhaps with the mod_rewrite command called in the .htaccess file?

If you could help me figure this out, I would really appreciate it. Please feel free to contact me at the email address I provided.

Thanks a lot, and excellent work!
