In reply to: Export not showing "download export" button, other pulldownsI’ve done a bit more digging on this, and looking at the actual export.php code, it appears that the error could be related to this taxonomy bug: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14306 However, I’m still researching. There’s a patch at the bug-tracker link – if my problem is related to this but, sould the patch work on my site?
In the process, I’ve also gone into wp-admin/export.php, wp-admin/includes/export.php, and wp-admin/includes/taxonomy.php looking to see if there were spare lines or spaces after “?>” at the end of the files, and I found that in most cases there were. This appears to be the case for wp-admin/admin.php and most of the other files I’ve looked at. Given how widespread this is (with a fresh download of 3.0.5 from just minutes ago), I’m not convinced that this is the problem – if it were, I’d expect LOTS of people to be having multiple issues, not just me.

In reply to: Export not showing "download export" button, other pulldownsJarretC – I’m trying to use the Export page under Tools, yes.
I wasn’t clear enough on the contents of the dropdown list vs. the category IDs. The dropdown list is fine, the IDs refer to the list identifiers in the code I see when I do a “View Source” in Firefox for the export.php page.
Here’s what the bottom of the page looks like:
<th><label for="taxonomy-category">Categories</label></th><td><select name='export_taxonomy[category]' id='taxonomy-category' class='' > ... <option class="level-0" value="19505">Personal Narrative</option> <option class="level-0" value="19512">Political Cartoons</option> </select> </td></tr>This is the bottom of the ../wp-admin/export.php page viewed via “View Source.” It’s missing table entries for content types and statuses and it’s missing the “Download Export File” button. It’s like the page never finishes being generated for some reason, but I can’t figure out why.

In reply to: Export not showing "download export" button, other pulldowns189 categories, some of which have “&” or “’” in the name. None of the slugs have any special symbols, and the Export page lists the categories by ID number, not slug.

In reply to: Export not showing "download export" button, other pulldownsUpdate: After searching through the troubleshooting discussions, I tried several more suggestions, all to no avail. Here’s a complete list of everything I’ve tried so far:
Rebooted MySQL
Reset the template to default
Disabled all plugins
Disabled the server firewall
Downloaded a fresh version of 3.0.4, deleted all the old wp-include and wp-admin files, and then uploaded the fresh version.I’ve spent some time looking through the raw server logs, searching on “export.php,” but all the server codes shown are 200 and 304. Neither indicates what I’m seeing in the page source (no closing tags, no pulldown help, no export button, nothing below the “Categories” list.
Is it possible I have too many categories and that’s what’s causing the page to freak out? Clearly I’m running out of ideas.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Akismet 2.5.0 server/connection problemI’ll see if my host’s firewall is the problem. Are there specific ports, IP addresses, or what have you that need to be opened in the firewall to permit Akismet to work right?
Note that 2.4.n was working just fine through the firewall, but 2.5.0 may not be, so if changes were made to where/how Akismet is looking for spam info now, that would suggest that it’s those changes that need to be opened up in the firewall.
I submitted my original problem (top of this thread) via the contact link this AM but have received no response yet.

In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Akismet 2.5.0 server/connection problemThanks – it hasn’t resolved itself, so I submitted a technical help request at Akismet.com. Some more time Googling for similar issues has turned up others who have had the same issue, some of which resolved and others which did not.
We’ll see what happens.

In reply to: Akismet 2.5.0 stallsI’m having the same problem. When I checked the Akismet settings and clicked “Check Network Status,” I got the following message:
“The key below was previously validated but a connection to akismet.com can not be established at this time. Please check your server configuration.”
Update: With some help, I was able to upgrade to WP 2.9.2, and I’m still seeing the same problem regardless of whether YARPP is active or not.

In reply to: Partial SQL database restoreBecause I’ve only tried to reimport via phpMyAdmin, instead of the import tool. I’ve needed to go that route because my SQL database is 200 Meg, and the last time I tried to import it via the WP tool, it crashed.
Now, that was 2 years ago, so maybe it’ll work better this time.
As for updating the database, I have a development environment that I can download the latest WP into, install the old database, upgrade it, and then extract and upload the correct version.

In reply to: 2.5 No longer sending comment email notificationJust had an idea based on this same problem, but I lack enough PHP experience to know if this could be a cause.
Can someone check to see if the problem is that WP expects not only a “wordpress@mydomain” email address, but also expects that the username to log into that email address is of the “wordpress@mydomain” structure instead of the “wordpress+mydomain” structure.
I’m asking this because a move from one server to another caused my emails to stop working, but one of the differences was the above-mentioned “@” vs. “+” username change.
Thanks.

In reply to: Unresponsive Script caused by Custom fieldsI just updated my local development environment to 2.5 and am having this same problem on Firefox with all of my plugins disabled. It seems to be that, if I click “continue” twice, Firefox gets through the nonresponsive script just fine.
