In reply to: Updating Email Addresses In wp.org AccountsDone. Thanks a ton for the help.
Do the people who make this forum have a bug tracker/ticket system to request that explanatory error messages be displayed on the front end in such situations?
It could save time and aggravation.
Thanks again for the heklp

In reply to: Updating Email Addresses In wp.org AccountsThat works.
It is possible that the email address I am putting in, is already in use. I used to have other accounts.
If that is the case, why am I not getting an error message on the front end?
How can I fix the problem?

In reply to: Updating Email Addresses In wp.org AccountsI tried it didn’t work. There is some code server side or in the database that does not like my particular gmail address, but does not return an error message so I can do something about it.

In reply to: Updating Email Addresses In wp.org AccountsOkay, I tried some more experimenting.
The site will take gmail addresses, just not MY gmail address. Is there some rule in the server validation………that does not give a message to the user telling them what is going on…….that certain emails will be rejected? An address that failed, is on some sort of list mistakenly, etc?

In reply to: Updating Email Addresses In wp.org AccountsI tried it again.
I got it to accept a new address a few times, but for some reason it will not accept a gmail address.

In reply to: Updating Email Addresses In wp.org AccountsI tried Firefox 16.0.2 and IE 8 on Windows XP, allowing cookies to be saved. The updated information is still not being saved.
I will try again on my home computer this evening.

In reply to: How To Take Away The Ability To Register For AccountsThanks.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: "WP to Twitter" Plugin: Troubles Getting StartedSwitching to HTTP did not help.
I did fix the problem with some ideas from the plugin author, who I contacted.
I cranked the permissions ( in Twitter ) up from the second level ( read and write ) to the third level ( read, write and other things ). I then regenerated the keys and put the new keys in.
That did the trick

In reply to: Upgrade To 3.04: Theme Broke As A ResultFixed!
Thanks. It didn’t occur to me to use the W3 HTML validation site. I just always assume it is a CSS problem :).
It turns out the upgrade was fine.
I had a bad img tag in a post I made right after the upgrade:
Old, broken
<img src = "http://8.media.collegehumor.cvcdn.com/6/a/collegehumor.e88e7f66b923500ab1e4e21a49519f64.jpg" alt = "'>New, fixed ( far right, replace a ‘ with a ” in the alt attribute )

In reply to: Blog Crashing: Where To Go To Find Error Messages?I just deactivated and reactivated my plugins. No effect.

In reply to: Blog Crashing: Where To Go To Find Error Messages?I think it is a theme issue.
When I switch to other themes, I don’t have the problem. Only two themes have the problem. The old default kubrick theme ( I have the latest version ) and my regular theme, which is a modified kubrick.
I have a wordpress.com blog at
http://beforewisdom.wordpress.com/It uses Kubrick just fine. Maybe they modded the Kubrick default to work with 3.04?

In reply to: Blocking particular peopleI saw that, but it looks like this person is on dialup. Their IP address is slightly different each time. Will this feature accept wildcards/regular expressions?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Blocking particular peopleThey in fact do not.
How can I do this with just wordpress and spam karma?
I tried typing his IP address into the forbidden words list, but that had no effect. Should I type in his whole connection string?
