When I upgraded, I stopped receiving comment notification emails. When I searched I found this: http://wordpress.org/support/topic.php?id=20029#post-114084 and did the following:

“Okay, I think I found the problem. I made the following changes to the /wp-includes/functions.php file:

Change this line:
return @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, $more);

to this:
return @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

This cleared up my problem on WP 1.5.”

That fixed mine.

I’m still getting that error if I click on .htaccess in Manage–> Files, but if I go to the permalinks page, it will update it all for me, and the title links are working on my site, and I’ve got the nice links now, so I’m happy.

Thank you, guys for all your help. There are dozens of reasons why WordPress is the best, but this support board is first on the list.

I know this is going to come as a big shock, but…I broke it.

I searched for the .htaccess and only found one in my phpBB directory. There didn’t seem to be one for WP. So I just made one up. (Probably my first mistake.)

I took the code the permalinks page told me should be in .htaccess and put it in a notepad file. I saved it as .htaccess and loaded it into the root directory (where WP lives) and renamed it without the .txt. Checked off every available permissions box (it doesn’t show me numbers, just boxes). The permalinks page still tells me my htaccess isn’t writeable. I tried moving it to the default directory in themes.

And now I’m getting a url not found if I click on an entry title.

Was I not supposed to just make one up?

It’s me again. The only thing I can find in running around my hostica account is ModLogAn, which is shut off. Is that the same as mod_rewrite? http://www.modlogan.org/

Thank you for being so patient with my dumb questions. 🙂

That’s definitely a downside, but I’ve searched mod_rewrite here in the forums for issues others have had, and since I don’t know what Apache is, or what .htaccess. is or what mod-rewrite even is, it’s a better safe than broken thing for me.

I love WordPress, but it’s very, very hard for some of us “point the mouse and click” kind of people–it’s a foreign language to me. So when I have a problem, and I search for the solution here, it’s kind of like matching a French phrase to a French phrase. I don’t actually know what it means.

Search engine placement matters to me, though, so thanks for pointing that out. I’ll have to look into it.

Definitely the white. I think black is stylish, but writers tend to pack a lot of words in there, and it’s easier to read on white.

I write, too, but I can’t do NaNoWriMo. OMG, the pressure! *g*

I especially like the “Click through links on this automated compilation at your own risk, folks…some of them aren’t totally obvious.”

Gee, I wonder which ones…

I didn’t even know there was such a problem until I wandered in here, then checked my referral listing. More headaches. *sigh*
