Wordpress blogs and Safari

This isn't new, but I've reached the point of sufficient frustration to post something here.
The blogging framework at Wordpress.com seems to be as good as useless in Safari (5.1.5), on both my iMac and the latest version on my iPad. On the iPad I have the Wordpress blogging app, which works fine, but I share the iPad with my wife and cannot always use it when I want to post a blog.
Searching the web, I seem to find quite a bit of rather inconclusive correspondence about incompatibilities between Safari and Wordpress. This, usually seems to end in suggestions to use a different web browser. Also seem to be lots of recommendations to delete cookies, cache contents etc, generally to no effect.
Today, my iMac is running really well, yet it simply will not open my Wordpress blog, not any other Wordpress blog I want to read. I even blew the dust off my Windows laptop and tried with that, using Internet Explorer. It loaded them just fine. Every experiment I have tried points to a major incompatibility between Safari and Wordpress.
Neither Wordpress nor Apple seem to be owning up to this.
Anyone solved this issue?
Thanks.

Issue with Safari 5.1.10 on my Mac 10.6.8: Since yesterday all my WP sites are dead, WP Login failed. Safari tells me: "Safari can’t open the page “http://gamewidgets.onemac.net/” because the server where this page is located isn’t responding."
Cleared Cache, checked all sort of files...No luck !
FTP with ForkLift get funny, works perfectly with FileZilla !
ALL perfectly working in Firefox and Chrome with NO issues at all(Display, Login...) - I'm totally confused !!!
Oi, Apple you screw it !
Update: My host(onemac.net) now complitly failed working in Safari - AGAIN with Firefox and Chrome with NO issues at all - Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhhhhhhh
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp

Why can't I post to a Wordpress blog using Firefox 5.o?

I tried to post a comment on a wordpress blog and twice the comment was completely erased when I pressed "preview" or "comment". When I switched to Safari, I had no problem!

Thanks for the help, 'TheOldFox.' Turns out it was a hardware issue. Had power off & on my Time Warner Surfboard router again! What a POS!

I can't see any uploaded pictures on my wordpress blog!

I bought my mac one week ago and i've uploaded some pictures to my wordpress blog and inserted them in the textbox but i can't see them.
And when want to visit my blog i can't see any pictures uploaded before.
Thanks for your help!!

This is a subject for Wordpress support. If they can't develop websites that are w3.org compliant, you'll want to use a different blogger. Also if this difficulty is with Safari, let us know, and we can ask the moderators to move this thread to the Safari forum.

PHP, Java, and Safari weirdness (Mac Web Genius needed)

If you know a good deal about the three, visit this thread:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/46465
The basic question boils down to: is this a Safari issue, or a code error. If you see the error, please suggest a solution.
Thank you.

"After reading your post at the WP support forum, it obviously looks like the code you're using works by itself. It's only after you add it into the WP "loop" that it breaks. This is definitely not an issue with Safari, but an issue with other browsers which are not as strict with standards."
Respectfully, this is a backwards conclusion. I've add this exact javascript to 2 WordPress blogs and 1 PHP board.
1. The Javascript works fine in one blog, all browsers.
2. Only Safari can't properly load the same script in another blog. (the one in question)
3. The Java script works fine in my PHP board, all but for one browser: Safari
Logical conclusions:
A. Something about the chosen themes in that one WP and PHP don't play nice with Safari (though different themes from different developers are unlikely to make the same mistake)
B. Safari doesn't play nice with something in PHP, since it screws up both a WP blog and PHPboard. Remember, Opera and Firefox can run these sights fine, and IE nearly so.
Right?

Wordpress Blog

Hello,
I am in the process of creating a wordpress blog, and I am trying to customize it for my site. It's very difficult to view the changes, because nothing shows up in the design view. Does anyone know of a plugin/extension or another way to edit the content in dreamweaver without having to upload every change to my server to view?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
Estee

Lots of links available for working with Wordpress + Dreamweaver:

Working with Dreamweaver and your local server is the best option I'd say.

I have been using Safari for years and have always kept it on "private." Starting two days ago, I suddenly found myself unable to log onto my blog and many other sites that I normally log onto when private is set. Why?

I have been using Safari for years and have always kept it on "private." Starting two days ago, I suddenly found myself unable to log onto my blog and many other sites that I normally log onto when private is set. This so annoying, I just switched to Firefox. I don't like Firefox nearly as much as I like Safari. What is happening? How do I fix the problem?
Thank you.

Might be a corrupted database ...
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Leopard Server 10.4 Blogs/Wiki and Safari error with www alias and Log Out

I have a Leopard Server 10.5 setup with dns and web services including blogs and wikis setup. If I browse to http://hostname.domain.com/users using Safari 5.0.1, I see that the session is not logged in (i.e. Log Out is not visible. I can login and create a blog and logout with no issue. I can do this on Firefox and Camino as well.
Now, if I browse to http://www.domain.com/users however... the Log Out button is visible all the time in Safari 5.0.1 only - Firefox and Camino show the correct status of a non logged in session. In Safari 5.0.1 it is not possible to login to post or create a blog WHEN the www.domain.com url is used.
I have rebuilt Leopard server twice on a physical and a virtual machine for testing and can reproduce the exact same error. It's a mix of using www.domain.com and Safari. Any other browser works fine and ALL browsers work fine with any other alias pointing to the same site, including hostname.domain.com
Testing on Safari 5.0.1 on the server itself works fine. Testing on clients was on 10.6 and 10.5 and was performed on 4 separate client machines. Browsing on the server was fine but browsing on any client would produce the error when using www.domain.com.
If anyone can offer any suggestions, please help!

I tried several new approaches, but nothing worked so far.
The update to 10.5.5 made things worse. Connections are dropping all over the place, when saving from Adobe programs in particular.
Printing from clients to a Xerox Phaser 5500 works, but choosing a different paper size than the default chosen in the cups admin interface goes all wrong and either prints on the default paper size, but down/upscaled to the chosen paper size or prints on the chosen paper size and down/upscaled as if you were printing to the default paper size. (e.g. default paper size is A4, you choose A3 with an A3 document. Document prints on A4 and is downscaled to A4, or prints on A3 and is downscaled to A4.)
There is no way I can keep this thing in production much longer. I tried reinstalling again, but that did not change any behaviour. Another nice "feature": InDesign disables "edit original" when the path to the linked file contains any directoryname with more than 8 characters in length.
Coupled with a sometimes disappearing "dirserv" (it just stops working until I reboot the whole computer) the decision stands to move away from the Xserve.
Leopard Server 10.5.x just does not seem to work well with windows clients.
We will migrate to a windows server 2003 running ExtremZ-IP for the macintosh clients this weekend. Too bad that Apple does not allow Bootcamp to work on Xserves, at least the hardware would have been useful then.
(As a nice finishing touch, the harddisk partition where all data resides did become corrupt over the weekend. "The volume Daten could not be repaired."
Disk Utility and first aid did show nothing on friday ... saturday after no work being done on the partition this error shows up. The only solution I could find was to reformat the partition and restore from a previous backup. Another weekend down the drain. Sorry for the rant, but 6 weekends in a row is enough.)

IWeb '09 and WordPress blogging

As a volunteer, I currently have two web-sites for separate annual public events published by iWeb and hosted by GoDaddy. Each event is autonomous from the other. One event is for a history-based reunion in the summer, the other for a winter festival.
If I were to create a blog on WordPress.com (which I assume to be a free service) for each event, is there a way to connect the WordPress.com blogs to their respective event web-sites, so that each site could show a "blog" page in the header and allow a visitor to visit the blog without leaving the event's web-site?

I found this tip on the iWeb Unlimited tips blog, and was wondering if this could be used to do what I was asking about in my Original Post in this thread:
iWeb Tip #2 – iFrames in iWeb (Websites within Websites)

What do you think?

I just purchased a new iMac, and can't get into my Wordpress blog. The username and password work on my old Macbook, iPhone4, etc, and all my other password-restricted sites are accessible...just not Wordpress. Ideas? New to all this...

Try holding down the Shift key in Windows when opening iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ (or C:\Username\Music\iTunes\ in Vista). Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file

Does anyone have a Wordpress blog?

I am at a complete loss on this computer re the blog and I just don't understand the seemingly complicated instructions, is there a less complicated method for getting my blog up and running on my new Mac which I just love? I have sailed through everything else so far and then again I'm completely frustrated by not being able to continue blogging...

you are making your WeBlog using your browser (Safari, I assume) - everything is actually happening at wordpress. therefore, you need help from them

I blog and cannot convert my ipad photos to a jpeg format on my ipad so that I can publish them. is there a way to do this ?

I have a travel blog and want to take my ipad when I am away but cannot add my photos (I have the photo converter kit) to my blog. Can someone tell me how to do this? I want to convert my photos in my ipad to a jpeg format so I can add them to my blog when I am on the go!

The iPad and most digital cameras (besides pro and pro-sumer versions) take pictures in jpeg format. Are you using some specialty app or a pro camera and RAW?
What bloging platform are you using? If Wordpress, I suggest using the Wordpress app since it allows for uploading photos.
What version of iOS are you using? It's possible that you are using the Web admin interface for your blog and since the iPad doesn't have a file system per se, on older versions of iOS Safari does not allow for uploading photos that way. iOS 6 allows you to take a phot or select from the Photo library.

WordPress blogs

I can't get Safari 2.0.4 to access the blog page WordPress. BTW: I still run os-x 10.4 and will not be upgrading any time soon.
WordPress blog pages cause Safari to shut down as soon as a search inquiry begins to load. Any ideas out there?
Peter.

Hi Peter
yes, I see what you mean - not a lot you can do directly in safari 2.0.4 except tell wordpress
the crash is caused by problems with wordpress's code & some of the system frameworks that safari uses; you can run a version of safari with more up to date frameworks by downloading a nightly build of webkit which uses you existing safari app, but makes it load newer frameworks.... this does seem to solve your specific problem in the several searches I just tried...
you know if you update to 10.4.11 ( free btw ) you can use safari 3.1.1 ? ( 10.4.11 comes with 3.0.4 i think ) ; anyway, 3.1.1 seems immune to the crashes too.

Wordpress blog doesn't show sidebar column

My site is a self-hosted wordpress blog with Thesis theme and recently it stopped showing the right hand toolbar on Firefox. I upgraded to the latest version but it still isn't showing.
The site is fine on Safari on the Mac, and it is also fine on Firefox 4 on the PC - BUT not Firefox 4 on the Mac.
Can you let me know how it can be seen? I'd like my site to work on all browsers and I work primarily in Firefox usually but am now shifting to Safari because it's so weird not seeing the site properly. Thanks.

your problem:
chrome does not call javascript when view the page through local file system (not through web server).
try view your page with safari.
