I have had issues with wordpress, once I figured out the issues I have created step-by-step how-to for everyone to use:
http://wiki.contribs.org/User_talk:Calisun (http://wiki.contribs.org/User_talk:Calisun)
Now I came upon another issue I can't figure out. I have been discussing it at wordpress forums, and I was told that it is a SME Server issue. I would really appreciate someone letting me know if there is a fix for this:

Is this problem specific to sme8.xx?
Whilst you may get some help here, it may pay to open a ticket in Bugzilla, this contrib is maintained by S. Noble.

Hi Chris,
I am not sure if it is SME 8 specific problem , but it is SME Server specific issue. People at the Wordpress forums said that they have installed wordpress on many different versions of Linux, and as far as they know SME is the only one with these issues.
As far as reporting to Bugzilla, I have not tried installing the contrib, this issue is with installing wordpress in iBay.

I have not tried installing the contrib, this issue is with installing wordpress in iBay.
Try installing the contrib and see if you have the same problem or not. It may help to identify what your issue is.

I have not installed Contrib because if I install wordpress in the iBay, it will be www.mydomin.com
But if I install contrib, it will be www.mydomain.com/blog
The issue with wordpress on SME is with mapped domains (Single wordpress install that has several domains mapped on it)
So I am not sure if contrib will be able to accomplish domain mapping since it uses funky URL.

When I try to access the image src (http://employment-office.net/files/2012/05/Hiring-Manager-Reading-resume_2-270x300.jpg) in this (http://employment-office.net/82/hiring-managers-view-of-your-resume-and-cover-letter/) post I get a 404 error.
Did you already try accessing the image src address from the page by entering it in your browser. Could it be you get a 404 error then?
If so, what do the error and access log off your webserver say?

I suggested installing the contrib to see if you had the same issues. There may be custom changes incorporated in the contrib (via templates) that take care of your problem, I was suggesting it only as a temporary test, just to see the outcome.
Whether it resolves your issue or not, it would be informative and will help lead to what is causing your issue.
I'm sure the install would take 5 minutes or less, so it should be pretty easy to do.

There are workarounds for that, a domain name can be aliased to the /opt/... location, refer
http://wiki.contribs.org/Web_Application_Redirect_Tutorial
which has warnings about the method suggested (ie it is problematic for some users), so see the discussion page which has an alternative method that appears to work OK

Here are the settings I use for ibays running wordpress:
#configure ibay settings required for wordpress
/sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop $IBAY \
FollowSymLinks enabled \
CgiBin enabled \
AllowOverride All \
Group www \
PublicAccess global \
UserAccess wr-group-rd-everyone
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event remoteaccess-update
This code block is taken from a script I wrote that clones an existing wordpress installation into an ibay.
(The "Group www" setting on the ibay account causes wordpress uploads to be available to httpd)
Here's a link to the script:

It has never been a contrib issue, it is SME issue, that is why I posted it in SME Server 8.x forum, not SME 8.x Contribs

The forum header says:
SME Server 8.x
Discussion of the use of *ONLY* the components and features included on the SME Server 8.x CD.
Wordpress is NOT on the CD !
