In reply to: Is there a simple "subscribe via email" plugin?Good list, but I am not seeing it – I am being slow, I am sure.
- The first three talk about comments; I want subscribe to posts.
- The fourth one uses social media sites: I am looking for email.
- The last one seems like it matches, but its reviews are bad.
What am I missing?

In reply to: Is there a simple "subscribe via email" plugin?Roy: those first few say “comments”. I’ll check them out and the rest too – many thanks!

In reply to: Import to .org from .com fai;ing utterlyOh, 1and1 seems to be, and certainly bills itself as, “the world’s largest web hosting provider”. So being complacent is not sensible here, I would have thought. How many people failed to find the solution? It took me all day!

In reply to: Import to .org from .com fai;ing utterlySamuel,
1and1 is a very big, popular hosting service. Saying “Most hosts do this or that” is like a telephone support person saying “it works for me”: not helpful. May I suggest WP add that directive, for those hosting services that have not switched to PHP5?
I’ll definitely try to up the memory, thanks. Though that third strIng crashed the entire site (even when I made it 32M). Ouch!

In reply to: Twenty Ten Theme – changing font size for h1, h2, h3That looks very cool. How exactly would I implement this?

In reply to: Import to .org from .com fai;ing utterlyOops, I meant http://www.speedlighter.ca – dot, instead of comma.

In reply to: Import to .org from .com fai;ing utterlyThanks to a German blogger – no-one here knew??
=============
Here is how to solve the issue:You have to add two lines of code to your .htaccess file to force the use of PHP5
1. Locate your .htaccess file in your WordPress installation root folder (most FTP tools don’t show the file so you’ll need SSH/command line access or open 1&1’s “WebspaceExplorer”)
2. Download the file.
3. Edit with any editor (I use Coda) and add the following two lines at the top:
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php4. Save it and upload the file to your web space again.
5. Make sure the file name is actually .htaccess (no file ending and starting with .)
6. You are done and everything works as it should now.
It is still not perfect: it still hangs on import, but now only after every hundred or so items so it’s doable. Media are still not importable (too many hangups, also out-of-memory errors), so they will have to stay on wordpress.com. Other than that, http://www.speedlighter,ca is now up

In reply to: Import to .org from .com fai;ing utterlyI am doing it per month. Mostl;y they fail. I get hangs, and images will not import mostly, and I get things like:

In reply to: Import to .org from .com fai;ing utterlyNope, even the small import fails, but now upon trying to import an image, the first image it comes across.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Import to .org from .com fai;ing utterlyAh. Wait. A very very small file does work – gives me import options. Today works. All of this year does not work. Longer also does not work.
So perhaps there is something wrong in a post this year. Help. What can I do? This is absolutely mission critical, so any help appreciated.

In reply to: I am under phentermine attack?That’s there, but it does not work. I am doing something stupid – not the first time I am sure 🙂
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: I am under phentermine attack?That makes sense on all counts. And since server load is the big issue, perhaps I will start with .htaccess, and go to the referrer karma if I still see an issue.
I have enabled .htaccess (allowing “all” in httpd.conf) and written in a long .htaccess file. (Not sure if it is working yet: if I add my own domain name as a forbidden referer keyword, it still allows me to go to my site by clicking on my site – though maybe that is different)
Thanks all for your help…. truly appreciate it.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: I am under phentermine attack?Ah.. while /var/… is not accessible from there.. if I am in /blog/, i.e. relative to http://www.domainname.ca, surely /blog/wp-content/referrer-karma.php shoudl work?
Anyway you are right, a relative link will work – best try that then.
But if you both agree that .htaccess is the way to go.. how many drugs and scams can tehre really be?
