Hi!

You should best ask technorati support. It does not seem to be s9y related.

Well, speaking for me, I use the Andreas08-Template with some adjustments (most notably rel="bookmark" and replacing the feed-rels with one, pointing to feedburner) and the following plugins:

Sidebar:
quicksearch, several html-nuggets, tags, categories, archives, syndicate this blog

Event:
browser compatibility, Spam protector, Spartacus, tagging of entries, nl2br, announce entries, static pages.

Works fine since a few days...dunno if anything of it matters.

call technorati

Post by sasha »

Phone
415 896 3000
Fax
415 896 3004

http://www.technorati.com/about/contact.html

I had no luck e-mailing technorati support but after I phoned them they sent a message to a tech person who replied within 24 hours and suggested I try removing any recent plugins added to test if that helped and it did.

I have not reinstalled the plugin b/c I don't want to lose the ping ability. For me it was a cost benefit ration. Losting technorati cost more than the benefits of the plugin. I made a compromise even if I'd like to have both. :idea:

sasha,

Which plugin was causing the problem?

I've had this problem for several months now.

Any help would be great.

From the beginning of the thread: extended authors.

I'm not seeing it in SourceForge's CVS repository, either. And spartacus.s9y.org isn't working, either. Nor can I find anything among my personal listing of event and sidebar plugins.

Hmmm. I wonder which one it really was.

Perhaps "serendipity_event_userprofiles"?

That being said, I never worry too much when technorati fails to crawl my site, because half the time they can't remember by username/password, or what blogs I have claimed, or who has linked to me...

Most of the time I just wait a few days and it is able to crawl my site again...

I deleted all plugins - pinged technorati to claim my site und the solution was - no effect.

technorati is too silly to write usefull parser for blogs with rss feeds and co.

Was there ever a solution with this?

I don't appear to have the offending plug-in installed yet keep getting an error.

my solution was to write a mail to technorati
5 days later they modified their crawler and now everything is working.

technorati or extended authors plugin

Post by sasha »

my solution was to remove the plugin the extended authors plugin. this is the plugin that among other things will let an administrator edits posts of a specific user or post for them without having to log in as them.

after removing that plugin it has worked perfectly ever since and is still working.

it's a pain now b/c we have some writers on our group blog that send me postings and i have to post for them or edit for them which means logging in as them. yes we can go in and edit from the backend but that is too cumbersome. i realized that technorati was more important for us right now that the plugin. it's a tradeoff i know.
