 * As Krishna said, that’s every sign of a malicious script. Something is hijacking
   your wp-load.php core file, and that jquerys.net call is is using hex strings,
   which usually means someone is obfuscating their javascript, and that’s never
   a good sign. You probably need to reinstall WordPress from source.

 * Oddly, every single person I’ve helped with not receiving email after upgrading
   to WordPress 3.6.1 has found that their email is going into their spam folder.
   You might double check if your email from your WordPress install is ending up
   in your spam folder.
 * I generally use the [Check Email](http://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/) 
   when testing if email is working or not. It will also tell you what MTA your 
   server is using, and yes, the 3.6/class-phpmailer.php issue has to do with Qmail
   and a bug in the version of class-phpmailer.php being used with WordPress 3.6/
   3.6.1.

   named plugin like the [Stop Spammer Registrations](http://wordpress.org/plugins/stop-spammer-registrations-plugin/)
   plugin.

 * For what could be causing the delay, I have no idea, but it does sound like there
   is something different about the servers.
 * This is untested, and I had to dig through core and the hooks, but I think I 
   found a way you can get around this. The default http anc curl timeout is 5 seconds,
   but if you use a couple WordPress filter hooks, you can lengthen that (I’m changing
   it to 10 seconds, but use what ever works for you). Try this in your theme’s 
   functions.php file:
 *     ```
       function my_http_request_args ( $r ) {
           // Set http request timeout to 10 seconds
           $r['timeout'] = 10;
           return $r;
       }
       add_filter( 'http_request_args', 'my_http_request_args', 100, 1 );
   
       function my_http_api_curl ( $handle ) {
           // Set CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT to 10 seconds
           curl_setopt( $handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10 );
           // Set CURLOPT_TIMEOUT to 10 seconds
           curl_setopt( $handle, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10 );
       }
       add_action( 'http_api_curl', 'my_http_api_curl', 100, 1 );
       ```

 * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-upload-apk-file-for-security-reasons/#post-4240820)
 * APK isn’t in the default list of allowed mime types for uploads, though I’m not
   sure if it’s due to it being a relatively uncommon file type (except for Android
   developers) or for security reasons. (it does install software on Android devices)
 * Never the less, if you want to upload an apk (I do it, as I’m an Android developer),
   add this to the functions.php file in your theme:
 *     ```
       function add_upload_mime_types( $mimes ) {
           if ( function_exists( 'current_user_can' ) )
               $unfiltered = $user ? user_can( $user, 'unfiltered_html' ) : current_user_can( 'unfiltered_html' );
           if ( !empty( $unfiltered ) ) {
               $mimes['apk'] = 'application/vnd.android.package-archive';
           }
           return $mimes;
       }
       add_filter( 'upload_mimes', 'add_upload_mime_types' );
       ```

 * The message should get is this:
 * >  There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get
   > started.
 * WordPress checks for the existence of wp-config.php before it makes any database
   queries. You’d only get a database connection error message if WordPress can’t
   connect to the database specified in wp-config.php.

 * `wp_safe_remote_get` has been in WordPress since 3.6, so I don’t know why that
   blog article suggested it was only in a beta version of 3.7. My guess is you 
   were downloading from a pre-3.6 version of WordPress and the update didn’t complete.
   If there was no `wp_safe_remote_get` in your wp-includes/http.php file, then 
   you might want to consider a fresh install or update. You should never have to
   modify a core file to make an update. If `wp_safe_remote_get` is not there, then
   you’re not running 3.6/3.6.1, at least not in its entirety.

 * Those are called Hamburger Menus or Hamburger Style Menus, which makes it a bit
   difficult to search for. I think Genesis themes may have a mobile version. I 
   really don’t know of any plugin that does this, which doesn’t mean there isn’t.
   You might also search for widgets and themes.

 * You can create a custom menu (Appearance->Menus) and add it to a sidebar widget.
   If you want the link to open in a new tab/window, then to go top right of Menus
   admin and click on “Screen Options” and then check “Link Target” and then close
   the “Screen Options” curtain Then you’ll have a check box so you can set a link
   to open in a new tab/window. Once you’ve saved your menu, you can add it to a
   widget area. (Appearance->Widgets)
 * For another options (I’ve not used it), but the old “Blog Roll” functionality
   was pulled out of WordPress as of 3.5, but you can get it back with the [Link Manager](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/link-manager/)
   plugin.
 * Really, I think the first way is the “WordPress way.”

 * What version of WordPress did you upgrade from? There is a bug in the phpmailer
   class that will effect a small amount of users in a specific situation. (WP 3.6/
   3.6.1 and server Mail Transfer Agent is Qmail)
 * Try the [Check Email](http://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/) plugin and test
   whether you can end a plain email. The plugin will also tell you which MTA you
   are using.
 * There was another user who reported not receiving email after upgrading to 3.6.1,
   but in his case, the mail was simply going to the spam filter for some reason.

 * Maybe it’s your version of MySQL. I can run WordPress 3.6.1 on PHP 5.5.3 with
   no problem (other than a warning that mysql extension is deprecated). For the
   record, I’m running MySQL 5.6.12. And this is on my development laptop, not a
   server. (I actually normally use PHP 5.3, but I can load 5.4 or 5.5 for testing)

 * Did you have any ratings before you did the reset? My guess is that $nr_ratings
   wasn’t 0 before the reset, so you weren’t getting the error because you had some
   ratings.
