If you read my previous post GNU Wget, The Ultimate Command-Line Download Tool, you might be noticed that I cant use the word “wget” I cant even use that word here or anywhere. I guess this is just some nasty WordPress bug.

As my previous post it took me more than 2 hours scratching head wondering what wrong that I can’t post to my WordPress powered blog. At first I thought it was Post2Blog, my new blogging tool (I just start using Post2Blog in the past few days) that cause that error, I get error 404 every times I mentioned the word “wget”. Then, I switch to my other blogging tools, BlogDesk (this is my long time favorite blogging tool before I found Post2Blog), The Journal (this is not “pure” blogging tool hence it is named the journal LOL), Ecto and last but not least WordPress build-in web-based write post function. All of them give error 404 page not found!, I repeat ALL OF THEM, even the web-based will redirect me to default WordPress error 404 handling page LOL. So, I guess this might be serious problem.

Here is some screen shot taken.

Error from BlogDesk

The Journal 4 Error

Post2Blog 404 Error

Web-based WYSIWYG WordPress also give error.

Actually, it not I know that I cant use word “wget”, I just guessing what word that related to some internet protocol because it give me error 404. I tried delete word “HTTP”, “FTP”, changing it to lower case, I just trying and finally I found out “wget” was the culprit.

So… what’s wrong with the word “wget” ? I guess this have to be something with “wget” the download software on Linux machine. Maybe WordPress think I give them command to download some which is not exists actually.

If you think this is my error and not WordPress bug, please enlighten me in comment section below. Thanks

Another problem solved by me

PS - I just found out that I can use “wget” instead of w-get or w.g.e.t or w.get or whatever. Just only no no to plain “wget” word.
