qTranslate for WP 3.0

[ephestione]

to those of you who have updated to wordpress 3.0: can you access the pages like http://www.example.com/[lang]/category/%category% ?
I have english as default, italian as secondary, so english pages have no prepath, while italian ones do, if I access http://www.ephestione.it/it/%posttitle%, everything works, but as soon as I try http://www.ephestione.it/it/category/%category% it goes into a redirection loop, while http://www.ephestione.it/category/%category% works... I would like to know if it's something related to the old qtranslate that everyone else on wp3 has, or rather something wrong with me and with no regards to qtranslate, and that I have to fix asap because new qtranslate won't solve it

EDIT: I just tried disabling prepath mode and went back to query ?lang=it mode... I get the same error on www.ephestione.it/category/%category%/?lang=it ... there is a redirection loop, so I just switched back to prepath mode

Yay for WP 3.0 support!

I realized that WP3 and qTranslate do not work perfectly together. qTranslate has turned itself off, as I understand. And activating it disables post editor- I cant see text box to edit the text.

So I reverted my installation files and it's working again.

Hi Qian.

Love the qTranslate plugin, but unfortunately didn't see your warning until after I upgraded.

I haven't noticed anything braking on the site because of this. The only downside is to get both languages into the same editor panel. when I edit the pages.

But I was wondering if you have any timeframe available as to when an update for Wordpress 3.0 will see the light of day ?

I have the EXACT same issue you mentioned about disabling the post editor. As I wrote in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1576

Could you please tell me how did you revert your installation of WP3.0? I want to do the same thing until qTranslate is working on the latest version.

Best regards,

Do you have a backup of your old wp install ?

I backed up the wordpress 3.0 install into a new folder and then copied the old install over the previous on my server. I know this is not the recommended way of doing things, but at least it worked

Thank you for your answer, jonhnefill.

I was reckless enough not to do a backup of he previous verison of Wordpress 3.0. I'm new to Wp but have now learned my lesson - NEVER upgrade without a backup.
I will try your suggestion as well - will do a backup of 3.0 to have it in case something goes wrong with the revert.

Do you think I will lose the current work as well? Pages, Theme settings. I am using the twenty ten theme which i've customised a lot - and this came with 3.0. I dont know if it will work with a previous version of WP.

Regards,

Your posts and pages should be intact after you have set up an older version over the new one. At least I suffered no data loss after reverting to the last stable version before 3.0.

Should your theme suffer any damage, you can always try to copy the folder containing the theme back over after you have installed Wordpress. There is however no guarantee so I'm afraid you will have to try this at your own risk.

There are a few plugins available for backing up both your website and the database from within Wordpress, but I haven't tried them yet so I am not sure how reliable they are. I use a backup software that schedules backups of the website and the database.

Hope this helps and good luck!

Didn`t see the warning in time... and no backup... sigh well one lesson learned I guess.

I found a conflict, after updating to WP 3.0 my posts didn`t appear either on the front page or in the categories page, although they did appear as "Recent Posts"

When I disable qTranslate things went back to normal (except for the quicktags I manually erased).

If someone knows how to fix this I`d appreciate... until the update comes out I guess I will have my website in English only...

To make the editor work, I edited qtranslate.php look for this line:

define('QT_SUPPORTED_WP_VERSION', '2.9.2');

replace it by:

define('QT_SUPPORTED_WP_VERSION', '3.0');

I made some other changes but this should make it work...
