In reply to: Not receiving email notification of new commentsForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Not receiving email notification of new commentsI didn’t have this problem with WP 2.3.2, but I have it now with 2.3.3.
–someone above mentioned this, and I should, too. I was using 2.3.2 and always received email notifications when a new comment arrived or was held was moderation.
Since yesterday (when I upgraded to 2.3.3 from 2.3.2) not a single email arrived, and there were new comments!
I am on DreamHost, if that helps… And I receive e-mails to my domain (so my hosting takes care of email).
Any ideas, why WordPress suddenly stopped sending email notifications to me, after moving from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3?
Is this a known WP bug?
I didn’t change anything in any configurations – nor in the hosting, nor in WordPress, and the change happened suddenly right now, when moving from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3…
Any ideas welcomed! 🙂
PS DreamHost is fine, I’ve been using it for more than a year now to host my main blog, based on WordPress, and I didn’t have any serious problems up to now. The problem with the email notifications occured right after my last WP upgrade, so I guess, it’s not a hosting problm, but rather a WP problem…

In reply to: Where do I enter the “about” sidebar textOK, then, check options I suggested — either it’s in the sidebar.php file, or it is in a text widget:)
hts, M.

In reply to: Where do I enter the “about” sidebar textA link to your blog, please? 🙂
1) Do you mean ‘About’ as a page (‘About’ page), or
2) You mean ‘About’ as text, like ‘About me’, followed by a paragraph or two of text? (I guess, it’s option 2)If it’s the latter, or Option 2, then probably you can edit it in the THEME files (sidebar.php), or if you use widgets, then in some TEXT widget.
Hope this helps? 🙂

In reply to: Re-arranging Links in BlogrollYou should search in your WordPress files/WP Theme files for where happens the adding of:
<ul> <li>link...</li> <li>another link...</li> <li>yet another link...</li> </ul>Specifically, the LI elements are those that do the ‘trick’. The blogroll is usually an unordered list (UL). If you remove the LI/UL elements, you can make the list whatever you like – comma separated list of links, for example, without new line breaks after each link! 🙂
Other option would be to style JUST the blogroll specifically, using CSS. You can make each link ‘float’, and then they will not be anymore on new lines each of them…
But for the fact, where happens exactly the adding of the LI elements, I am not sure…
Hope someone else will be of more use than me;-)

In reply to: .tar.gz does not uncompress on shellHello,
I am on DreamHost.
Before v. 2.3 I was always using first:
wgetto get the latest.tar.gz, and then:
tar -xzvf latest.tar.gzto uncompress the file.Now I get the same error:
tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errorsOK, I am not so good in servers. I guess, something has changed from 2.2.x to 2.3. When I run the wget command, here’s what I get:
--23:52:32-- http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz =>latest.tar.gz’
Resolving wordpress.org… 72.233.56.139, 72.233.56.138

I have SSH access to another hosting of mine, I tried there, same error.
What can I do? I mean, how can I un-tar the file, if it’s not gzipped?
(later) OK, I am stupid sometimes! 😀
tar -xvf latest.tar.gz…does the trick:)
I simply removed the ‘-z’ flag from the command 🙂
Thanks for the help and routing me in the right direction:)
Anyway, I wonder why before it was
wget, thentar -xzvfand now it’swgetand thentar -xvf?…Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Author is incorrect (when writing pages) :-(OK, problem fixed with a workaround:
( After a second user signed up, actually, it wasn’t possible for me to even write a post under MY NAME as admin, just one of the other users… 🙁 )
I went to the tab USERS -> then checked my name (admin), then selected CHANGE USER’S ROLE to administrator, UPDATE, and after that I was able again to post under my name (admin), and my name appeared in the list of names in the tab AUTHORS, when writing new posts and pages.
I had to do this, no matter that I was administrator anyway… just because others signed up and strangely I was still admin, but not able to post as admin, just use other people’s names. :-/
After updating my role from ADMIN to ADMIN, I now can again post as myself:)
Anyone have met this bug before?
Is it listed in the TRAC of WordPress? Or maybe some of you know it?…
Cheers!

In reply to: UTF8 Problems?I dunno…
Maybe different hosts run different versions of MySQL. Or maybe it’s related to the default connection to the database… I am not very good at that, sorry :-/
SET NAMES, COLLATION can help, dig deeper…
Would be nice if someone with a lot of experience of MySQL and how PHP scripts interact with it (concerning the encoding issue) would post something here.. 🙂
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: UTF8 Problems?Search the forums here… You’ll find a lot of threads which might help you:)
Basically, it could be related to SET NAMES and COLLATION in the MySQL… Search well!
Someone more experienced than me can help you more on that…
