I haven't had that many problems, but the ones that I've had always end with Yahoo telling me that the problem is because of Wordpress - idiots!! Now I'm trying to update from Wordpress 2.0.2 to WP 2.2 (thanks automatic updates from Yahoo - NOT), and I'm thinking I should move from Yahoo. Bah!

That is a nice and simple solution. (though I still recommend switching away from Yahoo hosting). Thanks Ford. That is a nice and simple solution.

The "wp-content/plugins/ywhmast.php" file is missing a "Plugin Name" in the comments. This text acts as metadata for the WordPress plugin page. A plugin that lacks a "Plugin Name" doesn't show up on the plugins page and, thus, can't be turned off. 2 solutions follow: * comment out the line "add_action('admin_head', 'attach_ywh_mast');" in ywhmast.php This will force the masthead off. * Add the line "Plugin Name: Yahoo! Masthead" right above "Plugin URI: http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/#" This will make the Masthead plugin show up in the WP plugins page (where it can then be deactivated). Hope this helps someone!

I sure wish I had seen it before I signed up with Yahoo! hosting, which I did because they were on WordPress's approved list! I have had nothing but trouble. Many plug-ins don't work and the only response one ever gets from Yahoo! is that they don't support WordPress. They direct you back to the WordPress Codex, which is no help when the problem is that they don't seem to give you full access to your WordPress installation. I signed up with Yahoo! because I thought it would be easier to use as a beginner. WRONG!!! I know this is an old post.

Today I was on the phone with Yahoo support, since their e-mails looked automated. First they told me from the get going that they do not offer support for WordPress and recommended to look into their own blog platform... When I asked about .htaccess, seamed like they had no idea what I was talking about. I hesitant to leave Yahoo, since my site was never down. For those who are looking for better hosting solutions for MP I recommend providers who offer onsite installation via "fatastico". In most cases you don't even need to play with .htaccess in order to configure your permalinks. Exellent posts! I absolutely agree that Yahoo and WordPress is not the best pair.

Unfortunately it's a real PITA to set up at Yahoo, and I've decided against moving. And I found this and this after I paid my $8.01 for the first month. To anyone thinking about it, I recommend NOT using Yahoo for WordPress hosting. I have a pretty good host here, but I'm tired of spending so much time just managing Word Press. I also have some quirky weird mysql problems here and after about a dozen operations (WP functions or queries) my WP db just stops responding. Even short articles take about a half-dozen operations … save while editing, publish, edit, publish again … so you can imagine my frustration.
