In reply to: Check Quicktime link on WindowsThe link is active, as I just checked it. It may have been a file download by someone else earlier today. Can anyone else with a PC verify that the link works and that it does indeed play a video in the screen below the text?

In reply to: Mail not workingOk, I know a little more about the situation now. WP is sending emails out, and they are being received. Mostly.
One user in particular, who is having his site hosted by Godaddy, is not receiving his email. I had him double/triple check his junk mail and his messages.
He also set up another account for me that I could test on, but I have not yet received an email. I did, however, get the email at my admin email account letting me know there was a new registration.
Is this an issue of the admin email address being wrong, or something in that nature? Is Godaddy somehow blocking this email because the headers are not congruent with the sender information? I also wonder if this is a matter of wordpress not knowing where to find sendmail.
Please, I need to get this figured out. Peoples lives are at risk here.

In reply to: Mail not workingIt’s a linux server, and yes, I have Postfix installed and working. (If I send an email from my gmail account to an incorrect address at my server, it bounces back with a message from postfix on said server).
I guess a better question, rather than whether I need postfix and sendmail for WP to send out messages, is what handles the outgoing messages? Why are the users being told that their password is being sent to them, but they receive nothing. WP thinks it is sending the mail, but the message is being blocked, queued, or dropped somewhere. I need to know what steps I would take to realize where that breakdown is occuring.
I can’t seem to find a log that has documented these user password emails going out. Therefore, I can’t find which aspect of the server is supposed to send them out to the user.

In reply to: Mail not workingOk, maybe I was not completely clear as to what I want. Here is a list of things I need to figure out, from what I can tell:
1) What files do I need to alter to enable WP to mail from my own server?
2) What programs do I need installed on my machine, other than WP, in order to send out emails both for registration and for new post notifications?
3) Does WP keep a log, or will my server have a log, which will tell me what has been attempted in sending emails to users? Where would that error log be?
4) Do I need Postfix, sendmail, or something else. How do I find out if sendmail is installed?When I type in command line: ]$ locate sendmail, it comes back with a long list of results. I am guessing that this means that it is indeed installed. I know that I have postfix, as it is what I use for my mail server.
Sorry, I am still learning quite a bit about Linux and wordpress, so your patience and assistance is greatly appreciated.

In reply to: Mail not workingSidenote: Why does this say ‘topic started 5 years ago?’ Does anybody else see this? I mean, I was watching “What the #$!% do we know?” last night when Iwrote it, but I really want to believe that my thoughts aren’t that powerful yet!

In reply to: Create ARCHIVE link?Ok, I have this page somewhat hacked to give me an archive page, but the formatting is wrong now, and I don’t know enough about PHP or xhtml to figure it out on my own. Can anyone take a look and tip me off as to the problem? Thanks.
Here is the page:

In reply to: Add <BR> command in php?No, not too much information at all. I am actually very proficient with html, linux, and even a <little> php. The problem is not my ability to comprehend, but rather my lack of experience with XHTML or much of PHP. Thanks for the extra information, both on this post and on others. Your advice is very helpful.

In reply to: seems like css isn’t working in ie 5 for mac, formatting wrong…Any ideas how it looks in FF for windows or IE for windows? I am not too concerned about mac IE, only that I want to make sure it is not a problem with my permissions or configuration somehow. I realize that css and php are two different things… I am just not sure if IEMac is not getting the correct message to read the css file, as I am nearly tone-deaf when it comes to php. (if that makes any sense)

In reply to: The infamous “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.” message?Ok, now it seems to want to work in safari 2.0, and in internet explorer 5.something for the mac. But now it is not displaying correctly for IE mac. Can anyone with a pc or mac check and see if the results are consistent with mine? Here is a link to the screen grab from safari (the way it SHOULD look).

In reply to: The infamous “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.” message?yes, I do see the post (1) under the manage tab. So, will this operate without categories or feeds? Or are both of those necessary?
