 * Thanks so much for the reply! Actually, I have SMTP set up on the website and
   emails are being sent. The issue is that when I have set the send-to to be more
   than one email (say I want the notification to be sent to 3 emails) then the 
   FIRST address gets all three emails. If I have 4 addresses to be notified then
   the first address gets 4 emails. I hope this makes the problem clearer now! Thanks!

 * I have deleted all the plugins via ftp and I’ve also changed the .htaccess file
   to increase the memory limit to 1000M (per another suggestion). Yet, I still 
   get only a blank page when I attempt to view the installed plugins page. Everything
   has been working beautifully until today. ??? Any other ideas??

 * Thanks for your help. I’m pretty sure that I transfered correctly. I’ve gone 
   through the process before. So, I knew what to expect. The site is working perfectly
   on the original server. I copied the DB files, did a search and replace on all
   the urls, created a new DB and imported. I also took all the WP files from the
   original server and moved them to the new site. I changed the config file. The
   worked but with an error msg at the top. It seemed to indicate that some path
   was not pointing where it should. I couldn’t figure out how to fix that. I decided
   to try Plan B.
 * This time I started fresh with a new WP install. Did an export/import from the
   old (working) site to the new. Figured I’d just manually re configure the plugins
   I’d used. That went well EXCEPT for some reason the new install doesn’t think
   I have any categories. Any thoughts on that? I noticed that the category ids 
   are different. I don’t know what to do about that.
 * Any thoughts on getting either of these approaches to work would be most appreciated!!

 * Hey Figaro,
    Another great and helpful video. This may be the way for me to go.
   Thanks!

 * Thank you for the links. I see that creating the file is easy to do. I just don’t
   know what should be -in- it. Can it be empty? Again my goal is just to set my
   blog URL to the root dir. The instructions say to put index.php and .htacess 
   in the root. I’m stuck because I don’t have an .htacess. And evidently wordpress
   cares because if I just try to move index.php the site just goes blank.
 * I have not implemented pretty permalinks. Mainly because I’ve already got a few
   ugly links set up and if I were to change to pretty permalinks then I’d have 
   to go through and re-do them. At this point, this could be easier if it means
   my .htacess woes would be over!! What do you say?
 * I watched the video figaro mentioned and that’s a great idea unfortunately my
   client does not have cpanel. 🙁

 * Thanks for your replies! I did set my FTP to show all hidden files. But I still
   don’t see the file. 🙁
 * I thought I’d try just carrying on without it. I set the blog url to the desired
   URL and just moved the index.php to the root. When I navigated to that url the
   screen was blank.
 * I don’t know enough to know what I’d want the .htacess file to do if I created
   one. Is there something generic that would serve the purpose?
 * Thanks again.
