In reply to: [Postie] postie creates invisible pages/strips content from emailsHi, Wayne,
Actually, the emails that I forwarded to you should be the same way that I sent to an secrete email account for postie to retrieve.i.e, Once I receive a notice email, I will forward this email to an secretary gmail account. Postie will connect with that gmail account and retrieve the content.
The thing that I noticed is that when gmail send email content. The email header has different encoding character set when there Chines character in the Subject line or Only English in the Subject line.
However, postie works fine in one of my English only wordpress site. It is very difficult to troubleshoot the cause.

In reply to: [Postie] postie creates invisible pages/strips content from emailsHi, Wayne,
I just sent you two emails to test@postieplugin.com. The two emails have the same content. The difference is that in the Subject line: the first one has Chinese Characters in it. The other one only has English Characters in its Subject line.The emails are the same as those that I used to create the debug output I sent to you.

In reply to: [Postie] postie creates invisible pages/strips content from emailsI just sent you two emails to help@postieplugin.com. One email has the two output logs when running the postie in the debug mode.
The second email is the original email used to do the test.
Thanks.

In reply to: [Postie] postie creates invisible pages/strips content from emailsHi,
I did a few tests to see if WPML causes the problems.
1) Run postie with WMPL, Email has Both Chinese and English in Subject line
results: Postie retrieved email, page created was invisible, content is empty2) disable WPML, run postie, Email has Both Chinese and English in Subject line
Results: Postie retrieved email. Page created was VISIBLE, content is empty.3) disable WPML, run postie, Email has ONLY English in Subject line
Results: Postie retrieved email. Page was VISIBLE and content was CORRECT.Do you have any other email address? Wayne, I can forward you the output from “Run Postie (Debug)” for tests 2 and 3 above.
Thanks.

In reply to: [Postie] postie creates invisible pages/strips content from emailsI just forwarded a test email to “test@postieplugin.com”. In my bilingual wordpress site, postie will retrieve this email and strip the content and only create an empty page.
The http://sample.com/?p=1234 is in the wordpress admin panel, under “setting”. (sample.com is just an example).
In the postie setting, I have changed the post type to “page”. However, postie creates a page whose permalink is a post permalink “http://sample.com/?p=1234”. For pages, the permalink should be “http://sample.com/?page_id=1234”.
I use a Chinese/English bilingual wordpress site. WordPress is version 4.4, Postie version 1.7.21.
I will check the few links you sent.
Thanks.
Finally, Problem solved. Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!!!!!!!!!!!
————————————
Solution which may be helpful for others.
Actually, the solution is very simple.
I went to the root table of my wordpress site which is wpmu_***. In the table wpmu_blogs. I added the following blog, blog id “1”, site id “1”, domain “aaccc.org”, path “/wpmu/”. Not sure the exact cause. Maybe the wordpress network admin is not working when you only have one blog.Thanks jkhonguscand and Mika for quick helping.
I thought about the issues last night. There are actually two issues involved.
1) The first is the installation of wordpress in the subfolder which is “wpmu” in my case, and it is under my root directory “www”. From all the tests I did yesterday. It looks the subfolder installation of wordpress is correct.2) The second one is actually the multisites, in my case, my blog which is “aaccc.org/wpmu/mandarin” is working. But the netword admin is not working.
This lead to think that one possible reason is related to the database table I am using right now.
For your information, the database I am using right now is from the original single site database, there are a lot a garbages in it. The site URL in some table my not be correct.
—————————
Please correct me if I am wrong below:
my wordpress site is “aaccc.org/wpmu”. My blog site is “aaccc.org/wpmu/mandarin”. I assume that when I call my blog “aaccc.org/wpmu/mandarin”, wordpress will star the site “aaccc.org/wpmu”, and read the database table “wpmu_****”, from the table “wpmu_blogs” to find the my blog “aaccc.org/wpmu/mandarin” is using table 7.
Then wordpress will read everything using table wpmu_7_*
I want to check the following whether they are defined correctly.
1) in my blog table “wpmu_7_site”, the site is domain “aaccc.org” path “/wpmu/”, this is the path to the wordpress root, not to my blog.2) wpmu_7_blog, domain “aaccc.org”, path is “/wpmu/mandarin/” which is not the same as in the table wpmu_7_site shown above.
3) in wpmu_7_options, the siteurl is “http://aaccc.org/wpmu/mandarin/” which not the same as in wpmu_7_site, or wpmu_7_blog. Not sure whether I need to change this to my root wordpress which is “aaccc.org/wpmu/” or not?
The option_name “home” is “http://aaccc.org/wpmu/mandarin/”, not sure this is the home of my root website or home of my wordpress, or the home of my blog.Just cut and pasted the .htaccess file and wp-config.php you gave above to my wpmu directory. Same results as before. The blog site is working. The Network Admin site is not working.
Just changed BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE to 1, and re-tested. No difference.
jkhongusc,
Just removed the $base=/wpmu/ from wp-config.php, and re-tested. No difference.When I click
wp-admin-> My Site-> Network AdminThen I got the “error connecting database” message shown in the first post.
By the way, I contacted the web hosting company regarding this issues. I was told, the error message was due to “too many queries” to the database caused the server to shut down”. Since not many people currently use our blog. The possible reason from them is due to error or loop in scrip. This information is helpful. But I am not sure where to start to check.
I will use the new wp-config.php and .htaccess to try.
Thanks Jkhongusc.
Just removed .htaccess and index.php from root directory of my website (not wordpress directory).By the way, I used the .htaccess and wp-config.php from my old version wordpress. I will try to replace my old commands with the new one you listed above to see if it works.
Regarding the Mika’s second question
I want the URL to the wordpress network to be “aaccc.org/wpmu”
The URL to the blog to be “aaccc.org/wpmu/mandarin”Thanks Mika for the quick response. Actually. you can directly check the website that I am maintaining.
The main website
http://www.aaccc.orgwhich is a Church’s main website. you can see weird characters if you do not have correct language pack installed.
The installation directory of the blog is wpmu. The URL to the Church’s blog is
aaccc.org/wpmu/mandarin
There are too many tables in my DB. I listed some below
wpmu_blogs
wpmu_blog_versions
wpmu_commentmeta
wpmu_comments

wpmu_options
wpmu_postmeta
wpmu_posts

Thanks jkhongusc for the link and suggestion. I tried the following, and still run into database connection issues.
1) I found my wordpress is older version 3.4.1. I updated it to latest version 4.1.1, The wordpress blog site works fine.
If I click “network admin”->”dashboard”. I run into the exactly the same problem as I stated in my first post above.
3) After update to wordpress 4.1.1, I copied the .htaccess file from my home site “aaccc.org” from the wordpress subdirectory “aaccc.org/wpmu” to the site root directory “www” (by the way, the wordpress directory wpmu is under www directory). Nothing changed.
3) After above steps, I copied the index.php from wordpress directory wpmu to the website root directory www. After this change, funny things happened. The wordpress blog site still works as before. The “network admin” link still gave me the same error message.
The funny part is the new “index.php” seems to hijack my home site “aaccc.org”, it seems to override the index.htm file in my home site root directory, and it re-direct everything to the blog “aaccc.org/wpmu”. This gave me the “error establish database connection” message.
Any suggestion on how to overcome the conflict between the index.htm ad index.php in my home site root directory?
Many thanks.
