There is a check box for sending out an email in the email settings tab. Great job on this simple cart. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Simple Shopping Cart] Verification email sent from wordpress@](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/verification-email-sent-from-wordpress/) * [rtivel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rtivel/) * (@rtivel) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/verification-email-sent-from-wordpress/#post-4106526) * With respect to the automatic email notification, how can this be turned off? PayPal’s notification to the customer is sufficient without a second confusing notification, I believe. I noticed several option settings in the wp_shopping_cart_settings. php file, but these are not brought out to the plugin settings. It would have been nice if your wordpress-plugin-change-wp-email-from-details-1883 would have included an option to disable the automatic email feature. I am using Version v3.8.6 of the plugin. * Thanks for all of your plugin support. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Selecting a defferent menu depending on page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/selecting-a-defferent-menu-depending-on-page/) * Thread Starter [rtivel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rtivel/) * (@rtivel) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/selecting-a-defferent-menu-depending-on-page/#post-1919498) * I found the relevant reference for this (Function Reference/wp nav menu) at [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_nav_menu](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_nav_menu). This is what I need to utilize custom menus for specific pages. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Sociable for WordPress 3.0] [Plugin: Sociable for WordPress 3.0] Not showing in Thematic blog](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sociable-for-wordpress-30-not-showing-in-thematic-blog/) * [rtivel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rtivel/) * (@rtivel) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sociable-for-wordpress-30-not-showing-in-thematic-blog/#post-1713667) * Hi, * I just used sociable-30 for a client using the acamas theme, which is based on the thematic theme–and it works perfectly–and I just activated the thematic theme and it works too. When you say it doesn’t work, do you mean for posts on the home (front) page? There is a check-box option in the sociable-30 settings for showing the icons on the front page and this is unchecked by default. The icons will still show on the single-post pages with this box unchecked, but not on the front page. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Sociable for WordPress] Updates for Pro version?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sociable-for-wordpress-updates-for-pro-version/) * Thread Starter [rtivel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rtivel/) * (@rtivel) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sociable-for-wordpress-updates-for-pro-version/#post-1725570) * I heard very promptly from Tom and he provided instructions about how to upgrade: simply login at wpplugins.com an download the latest PRO versions. Also, I should have posted this under [Plugin: sociable for wordpress 3.0]. After downloading, unziping, and uploading the latest PRO version, everything is up to date. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Sociable for WordPress 3.0] shortcode causes validation errors](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sociable-for-wordpress-30-shortcode-causes-validation-errors/) * Thread Starter [rtivel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rtivel/) * (@rtivel) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sociable-for-wordpress-30-shortcode-causes-validation-errors/#post-1688073) * This problem seems to be fixed. In the writing settings for wordpress I checked the “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” box and the blog passed “in the green” at w3c. Just to prove that checking the box fixed the problem, I unchecked it and put the blog through the validator again–and it still passed. So, although the problem is fixed, I’m not sure exactly how. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] imaging padding when using float left](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-imaging-padding-when-using-float-left/) * Thread Starter [rtivel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rtivel/) * (@rtivel) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-imaging-padding-when-using-float-left/#post-1683519) * I found where to style the single post image. I am using the acamas theme. The styling for the image is to be found in the acamas style.css file.

You are absolutely right about the “simple things”. The big problem about the “simple things” is that they are so darned hard to see: you can look at something like /%postname and just never notice that missing/. By pointing this out, you might have helped a lot of others solve their permalink problems. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Posts 404ing after permalink change](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-404ing-after-permalink-change/) * [rtivel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rtivel/) * (@rtivel) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-404ing-after-permalink-change/page/3/#post-1034232) * Americaninlima, * I have installed and upgraded many versions of WordPress. One wonderful feature of WordPress 2.7 is the automatic update/upgrade features — that really work. I did the automatic upgrade from 2.7 to 2.7.1 as well as numerous plugin updates without any difficulty. I think you should be running 2.7, eventually. * I had the same feeling about the new admin area as you do — at first. However, I don’t even think about it anymore now that I have used it for awhile. * I must confess that when I upgraded my online blogs to 2.7, I thoroughly tested the new version first (see “[Low-Stress WordPress Version 2.7 Upgrade](http://www.blog.selectdigitals.com/low-stress-wordpress-version-27-upgrade/)“). * After all you have been through, if you have a backup for 2.6 that would restore your blog to perfect health, it might be a good idea. However, at the very least, backup the current mySQL database first so that you can retrieve any posts you have created since your last backup. If it were me, I would also backup all of the current WordPress files, too: this might save you some time when you try the upgrade again. I assume your old backup included both the database and the WordPress files? If only the database, you will have to re-edit and upload any theme files you changed. * With respect to Permalinks Moved Permanently, it might be worth a try, especially if you are thinking about restoring a previous WordPress version. What have you got to lose? * As a last note, and for the long term, you might think about setting up your own test blogs. I have a test bed on my local PC (see “[WampServer: A Test Bed For WordPress](http://www.blog.selectdigitals.com/wampserver-a-test-bed-for-wordpress/)“) and also have an online test blog living in its own domain that I use to test new versions and plugins before using them on my main blog. My main blog does not have nearly the content on your blog, but I would still not like to have to do it over again. So, I test and backup. This takes all of the worry and stress out of making changes to my main blog. * If you do restore to your older version, relax awhile and then try the upgrade again (possibly on your own test bed first). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Posts 404ing after permalink change](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-404ing-after-permalink-change/) * [rtivel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rtivel/) * (@rtivel) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-404ing-after-permalink-change/page/2/#post-1034225) * I am having trouble keeping in mind everything that you have already tired. However,… * (1) With permalinks enabled, if you write and publish a test post, does the new post display normally (with the pretty URL) when it is selected? In other words, is your customized permalink working for new posts and just not working for your old posts? If this is so, then … * (2) If I remember correctly, if you use the default permalink setting (and no. htaccess file), your old posts then display normally (with ugly URLs). Right? Well, if this is so, you might try loading up [Permalinks Moved Permanently](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/permalinks-moved-permanently/), a plugin that might allow you to change your permalink structure and still find the posts. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Posts 404ing after permalink change](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-404ing-after-permalink-change/) * [rtivel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rtivel/) * (@rtivel) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-404ing-after-permalink-change/page/2/#post-1034223) * OOPS!
