In reply to: [Easy Forms for Mailchimp] API not connectingHi – yes I had this issue a few months ago, but then it came back when i updated to the latest version, 6.0.3.3, last Friday.
I fixed it this morning by adding the code Evan supplied in that link, but it depends on how your functions.php is written. You may have to put the code in it’s own php opening and closing tags:
<?php // Code here ?>Also, once you do that – go back into the plugin settings, delete any existing characters in the your “Enter your API Key here”, click update, and then put your API key back in.

In reply to: The Correct Permissions for WordPress on IISUpdating this post.
After reading about IIS_IUSRS and actual requirements, I reviewed what is actually required and slimmed permissions down to:
CREATOR OWNER – special permissions
SYSTEM – Full Control
Administrators – Full Control
Users – Read and Execute, List Folder Contents, Read
IIS_IUSRS – Full ControlIIS_IUSRS is a group, where IIS adds ApplicationPoolIdentities into. First, ensure your websites ApplicationPool is running under AppicationPoolIdentity. Then, add that ApplicationPoolIdentity to the group. Then give that group full control.
Yes, my concern too was that “then, all the application pools have permissions to all websites roots”. I shall see what happens.

In reply to: The Correct Permissions for WordPress on IISFor anyone interested, these settings worked for me and I believe from a security point of view they should be fine.
First, ensure that in IIS that the Application pool that your site is running under, that the identity it is running under is ApplicationPoolIdentity.
Then, the folder permissions should be as follows:
CREATOR OWNER – special permissions
IUSR – Read & Execute, List Folder contents, Read
SYSTEM – Full Control
Administrators – Full Control
Users – Full Control
IIS APPPOOL\<the name of your application pool> – full controlThe permissions above worked for me and allowed full upload and editing of images and automatic updates.
I heard that granting NETWORK SERVICE and IUSR Full Control is bad news for your security, and I’ve seen this first hand.
If anyone agreed or disagrees, please comment because I’d love to know!
Forum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: Too many installation options – help!As far as I know, Brandoo uses MS SQL rather than MySQL. If you’re using MS SQL, that would be the option I’d take, but having not used it before I can’t give any more information than that.
Standard WordPress install I imagine will install MySQL as part of the install.
WebMatrix3 is a Microsoft product that allows you to upload / download website files and edit them in an HTML editor. Its not bad if you want something nice and simple to work from.

In reply to: Should I persist with MS SQL install or use MySQLI could never get WP to work with MS SQL. I’m told its possible, and as I work on Windows platform / IIS, but I’ve never accomplished it.
Nowadays, I just use the Web Platform Installer, but it installs MySQL so if you resort to that, that would be my advise.

In reply to: Cannot install WP on Win Server 2012 via Platform InstallerIf thats the message you get when you go to the webpage, then yes its a permission issue you have on your files.
Confirm all the WordPress files are there, and if they are, check your permissions.
