In reply to: Contact form 7 and WP Mail SMTPWP-Mail-SMTP uses settings that adapt the wpmail() function. Contact Form 7 uses it’s own function called wpcf7_mail() which has nothing to do with wpmail() and so all the settings you are using to get a working WP-Mail-SMTP are ignored by Contact Form 7
You need to find a contact form that simply uses mail() or wpmail() function.

Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: One WP under two URLsHello AndreKR,
I’m working on a similar problem but it’s not quite the same. I’m hosting my blog on my home computer.
The cheapest and most stable way to do this is to by the domain name but then use free web URL re-direction to a free Dynamic DNS host.
For example mydomainname.com get re-directed to mydomainname.dyndns.org
I have WordPress working for both URL’s, but what’s not working is I only get the text for the site and not the ‘theme’
I will see if I can find out what this is and post back.
For your problem. You could maybe create a directory off your root called /blog/ and the default page in that directory redirects to http://www.my-website.com

In reply to: Removing the old version of the plugin failedOk solved it.
I think I was just too lazy to bother looking for the solution for this, but now that I have, I thought I’d post the actual and working solution here, though I don’t think many will like it.
YES. It is an OS privilidge issue. Simply locate the plugins directory for your blog, right click and select properties.
Under the Security tab the
‘Everyone’ user needs to have ‘Modify’ privilidge set to ALLOW.
This will fix the problem for everyone. If this works for you – please visit my site and consider what my advertisers have to say 🙂
Thank’s for your support
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Removing the old version of the plugin failedYes indeed, I am new to WordPress but not new to IT. I’m a sys admin and web designer. v 2.7.1 won’t upgrade ANY plugin at all – no matter how it’s installed.
I’m hosting WP on my server at home not an ISP’s. I’m certain is an OS permissions thing. I’ll have a quick look…
Humm. I could change the permissions of the ‘Everyone’ group to be able to write – but this would be a major security issue.
I can’t see anywhere that WordPress asks for a username and password of an account that can be used to update the plugins with – I guess this is a feature that doesn’t work at the moment or hasn’t been implimented.
JerryBell – Thank’s but that is not a scenario many people are likely to have, by the looks of it no one else has multiple directories created and it’s not a plug-in problem. I’m hosting 25 websites and using 30 plugin’s. It IS a WordPress problem. WP NEEDS to specify a user/pass to the OS to update the plugins with it’s as simple as that.
Will post back if I find a solution/workround
