In reply to: WordPress contact form plugins don't work on Linux serverI have now set the Advanced Email Options that you get with the SMTP plugin to “Use the PHP mail() function to send emails” and I’m starting to get some success.
Only problem now is weird: I’m using the French version of WP and only the forms in French will work!!! You know when you create a new form in CF7 it asks you the language – it only works in the default language – French.
So I’m now going to reinstall WP using the English version. Wish me luck!

In reply to: WordPress contact form plugins don't work on Linux serverThanks for that. I’m still trying to get it to work, though.
I’ve put in all the details in Advanced Email Options in WP Mail SMTP but I get
SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection timed out (110)
SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.when I try to send the test email.

In reply to: WordPress contact form plugins don't work on Linux serveresmi, thank you.
I agree, I have used CF7 on countless Linux servers with no problem. And now I can’t get even the default form to work.
I didn’t quite get the link you sent, although it’s good to know that WordPress uses the standard PHP mail function.
I will tell them this and hope that they will help me.

In reply to: Specific text color in text editor Tiny MCEThank you, esmi, I’ve been through the first 7 plugins in that list and none seem to do what I want them to do.
I would just like a button in TinyMCE that applies a certain color: #66504e – a very nice brown! – to text in the text editor.
Is there anyway to do that?

In reply to: White screen of death when I try to log inAnd, “WordPress 3.2 is available! Please update now” notice is there now, after I went to Dashboard > Updates…
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: White screen of death when I try to log inI asked her for further clarification and this is what she came back with:
I really wish I could tell you what I did — I was mucking around in that
file, trying to comment out lines to see if just removing the ones that
were causing the errors would fix it.Nothing I did worked, so I restored the file back to what it was before
(I didn’t copy over a new file from the core install, although I
considered it) — and it magically started working.I chalked it up the strangeness of computers, but I can’t tell you
exactly what, I’m sorry!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: White screen of death when I try to log inActually, my host just fixed it by adding the debug code to wp-config and then deleted and re-entered a couple of lines of code in wp-db.php – this is her exact words:
I turned on the debug and it showed that there was something
strange with the wp-db.php file. I fixed that (it looks like it just
wanted to have a couple of lines deleted and re-entered) and I can now
get the Dashboard login page to work.Weird thing has happened since then. I don’t get “WordPress 3.2 is available! Please update now.” Even though I’m still on 3.1.4 –
My other sites have the update reminder.

In reply to: White screen of death when I try to log inWeird. I’ve just renamed my plugins folder plugins_old and created a new folder called plugins and I got:
W3 Total Cache Error: some files appear to be missing or out of place. Please re-install plugin or remove /home/robcubbon.com/wp-content/advanced-cache.php.
I then reverted the plugins folder change and now I get
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /home/robcubbon.com/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1037
Whereas before it was WSoD.

In reply to: Export theme settings of Twenty Ten to create a child themeThanks again, esmi. Not to worry, it won’t take too long to recreate. 🙂
I needed to add “global $post;”
You should add “global $post;” before you try to use $post inside a function (simple hooks executes within a function), apparently. I don’t know why it works but it works.
Thanks.
Thank you, esmi, I’ve tried all those snippets and they just list out all the pages regardless. I think it may be because I’m using a Genesis child theme and inserting the code with Simple Hooks plugin.
