So on a website Iam working on some images dont get loaded.
The console says: Failed to load resource: net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED
and then a link like that:
http://s234127563.online.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/myimage.png
If I change the first part of the URL http://s234127563.online.de/ to the actual URL http://example.org/ the images get shown
Does anybody know what this problem is about? Maybe some DNS thing or something. I tried different browsers and to renew my ip address and flush dns etc. but nothing changed
Looks like a mismatch in your database. WordPress stores your base URL to generate permanent links etc.
Change the URL stored in WordPress. There’s a page dedicated to that on the WordPress Codex. Hardcoding the URL in wp-config is most reliable, but perhaps not most desired.
The URLs are saved in posts etc, so you may have to update those. The Velvet Blues Update URLs plugin can do this for you.
Manually update non-default fields (theme options, custom fields, etc)
If none of the above works... are you using a CDN of some sort?
Check your database. In the wp_options table there should be 2 rows, one called siteurl and the other one called home. Make sure both are set to be your domain name, so http://example.org/
Wordpress sets this URL at the start during installation, and if you for example had this URL set to something different before, in case of a migration to a different domain name or something else, it can differ from the domain name the website is currently being shown on.

I have a Github project, github.com/jeti/matrix, and I set up a "Github pages" site for the project so that it is accessible here jeti.github.io/matrix/.
That is all configurable through Github.
Now, I would like to add a subdomain of my personal website so that the website is accessible via the subdomain matrix.jeti.io of my website jeti.io.
I am just really confused how to do that because the documentation don't seem to show how to redirect a project page to a subdomain. I have tried a few permutations of what I think should be the correct inputs, but because these DNS changes take so long to propagate, it is really hard to test.
Specifically, I would like to know what value to enter into Github as the Custom domain (it seems to me that this should simply be the subdomain matrix.jeti.io, but I am not sure, so I have left this blank):
Then I also need to create the subdomain. I bought the domain through OVH, and they provide a few options for adding a DNS entry:
My understanding is that I need to add 2 apex records. I did that already:
What is unclear to me is whether I also need to add a CNAME entry. This is what the form looks like when I try to add a CNAME entry:
So in recap:
I did not specify the Custom Domain on the Github site.
I created the 2 apex records shown above.
I did not create a CNAME entry.
Please tell me which of these steps needs to be changed and how to modify it.
After more trial and error, the answer seems to be
The Github custom domain should indeed be matrix.jeti.io
I did not need the apex records. In fact, Github emailed me discouraging it. So I deleted the apex records.
In OVH, I added a DNS CNAME entry like this:
The thing that was confusing me is that I thought that the CNAME entry needed to have a link to the original Github pages WITH the project name jeti.github.io/matrix. That was wrong. The target is simply jeti.github.io. (Note the period on the end).
After I changed the URL key in Category management in Magento from "shop" to "webshop"and later changed it back to "shop", the url of the category page now shows up like /shop-3.html Is there a way to go back to the original /shop.html?

Sometimes when you make changes to your products, or enable a certain extension, Magento might start to rewrite all your URLs to include a suffix "-1" or some other number. Within the URL Rewrites, Magento differentiates between System URLs and Custom URLs. If the System URLs are broken like this, you should not fix this by adding new Custom URLs.
Instead, open up phpMyAdmin, create a backup of your Magento database, and flush the Magento table core_url_rewrite (so that it becomes totally empty). Immediately afterwards, refresh the Catalog Url Rewrites under Index Management. This will regenerate all System URLs.
you can edit url write,i think there will be entry like /shop-3.html just change it is you want

and also refer

hope this will sure help you.
Simple answer
just delete url related to shop (custom and system generated), than run re-indexing it will work
I FTP'd over the entire wordpress site and exported the Database and got it running on my localhost throught WAMP, but for some reason the links and folder are still pointing towards it's .com, and a 404 error comes up as well.
I suspect it has something to do with .htaccess but I'm not sure.. Can someone steer me in the right direction?
Did you update WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) under General > Settings?
They might still point to old domain.
Transferring the site over FTP to your local machine is the same as "moving" it to a new domain. Wordpress provides specific instructions for such a move which you can find #

When Your Domain Name or URLs Change
When your domain name or URLs change - i.e. from http://example.com/blog to http://example.com, or http://example.com to http://newexample.com - there are additional concerns. The files and database can be moved, however references to the old domain name or location will remain in the database, and that can cause issues with links or theme display.
If you do a search and replace on your entire database to change the URLs, you can cause issues with data serialization, due to the fact that some themes and widgets store values with the length of your URL marked. When this changes, things break. To avoid that serialization issue, you have two options:
Only perform a search and replace on the wp_posts table.
Use the Search and Replace for WordPress Databases Script to safely change all instances. ( If you are a developer, use this option. It is a one step process as opposed to the 15-step procedure below )
I've developed a new wordpress website on a testing domain name on our server.
I had set the site up ready to go live... but I had to move the wordpress website onto another domain name that we are also hosting on our server.
So what I did was copy all root folder content from the testing domain name and pasted the content into the new domain name's root folder.
I then logged into wordpress, changed all the necessary settings like WORDPRESS URL and SITE ADDRESS URL as well as image absolute urls in each and every individual pages to make sure that I've got the right URL for everything.
When I click on MEDIA, I can see all the images like normal.
Great ... then I go and check the website live and I see that there are a lot of images that are missing! They are all in the MEDIA panel - but do not show up on the website!
I then double check that all images are pathed correctly ... and they all are.
Now why do SOME images show up and others don't?
I've even tried to add a new photo and use that photo in place of another photo that isn't showing up and that new photo doesn't even show up.
Where does my problem lie?
For example, 1 slideshow on my website which isn't showing images, give me an "image not found" error for a image:
Image not found: http://www.domain.com/wp-content/themes/natural
/lib/timthumb.php?src=http://www.domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/breakfast-gallery-011.jpg&w=610&h=0&zc=1
Ok I am going to answer my question with some advice.
It's clear that some of my images were 'hard coded' as devin mentioned as I could not find a logical reason for some not showing (even when I looked at the tabular data in MySQL) and because I'm not a database engineer / developer - I wasn't prepared to dive too deep into that with the possibility of causing further issues... so I decided to take down the entire wordpress site, create a new database, re-install wordpress and I imported an exported xml file that I created and saved (luckily) before 'migrating sites'.
Advice:
1) Whether you migrate a wordpress site or not, always backup your website regularly by creating an export of your wordpress structure. It may save you a lot of work in future.
2) If you're an amateur or beginner at development and MYSQL like myself, I'd suggest you create your wordpress site on the actual domain name you want it on. This will save you from 'migration' headaches as I've just experienced ... and a lot of time. Learn from my mistakes. Although there is probably a solution to my question above, it's out of my expertise / knowledge and could be out of yours too... so make it easy for yourself :)
The issue is not that the image URls are hardcoded only. The last portion of the URL is harcoded, but you will most likely have "/wp-content/" embedded in the URL which indicates that the image's URL string is dynamically created. I looked in my wp_postmeta table and there were all of the partial image URls ( like this - 2013/03/expanse2.jpg ). Now where is the beginning part of this URL and the domain name? The domain name is the part that is actually missing from the all of the image urls in my case. I dug into the database a little deeper using phpmyadmin ( but i recommend Webmin if you can get it up and running ). I ran into the "home" field in the "wp_options" table. Asked Google what a proper "home url" would be for wordpress, which brought me to this page ( http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/home_url ) , and this line was in there ( home_url() is located in wp-includes/link-template.php. ). Went to that file and found that it controls how URLs are built, but not uploaded image urls specifically. In the end i went into a page that had an image, looked at the advanced settings and found the image URL was just missing the domain. I used the wonderful search and replace script to repair it. Done
And I don't want to use GET params.
Here are the details:
the user has a bunch of photos, and each photo must be shown by itself and have a unuique URL of the form
www.mysite.com/theuser/photoNumber-N
I create a unique URL for a user each time they add a new photo to their gallery
the web page that displays the user's photo is the same code for every user and every photo -- only the photo itself is different.
the user gives a URL to Person-A but then Person-A has one URL to that one photo and cannot see the user's other photos (because each photo has a unique URL and Person-A was given only one URL for one photo)
I want the following URLS to (somehow) end up loading only one web page with only the photo contents being different:
www.mysite/user-Terry/terryPhoto1
www.mysite/user-Terry/terryPhoto2
www.mysite/user-Jackie/JackiesWeddingPhoto
www.mysite/user-Jackie/JackiesDogPhoto
What I'm trying to avoid is this: having many copies of the same web page on my server, with the only difference being the .jpeg filename.
If I have 200 user and each has 10 photos -- and I fulfill my requirement that each photo is on a page by itself with a distinct URL -- right now I've got 2000 web pages, each displaying a unique photo, taking space on my web server and every page is identical and redundant disk-space-wasting HTML code, the only difference being the .JPEG file name of the photo to display.
Is there something I can do to avoid wasting diskspace and still meet my requirement that each photo has a unique URL?
Again I cannot use GET with parameters.
If you are on an Apache server, you can use Apache's mod_rewrite to accomplish just that. While the script you are writing will ultimately still be fetching GET variables (www.mysite.com/photos.php?id=photo-id), mod_rewrite will convert all the URL's served in the format you choose (www.mysite.com/user-name/photo-id).
Some ways you can implement it can be found here and here, while the actual documentation on the Apache module itself can be found here.
Go to IIS Manager. Go to the site hosted in IIS. Add additional binding for each url.
This will redirect all request the same location.
