I wonder if it’s a WordPress email handling issue. ? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[AlertMe! – Post Update Notifications to Subscribers] Not Receiving Email on Update of Post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-receiving-email-on-update-of-post/) * [shellius](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shellius/) * (@shellius) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-receiving-email-on-update-of-post/#post-15223903) * I’m having the same issue. The updated page is no longer sending out an email to any subscriber, including to me, the admin. * Is this plugin abandoned? There has not been an update in a long time, and it no longer appears to work. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] Broke Slider](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broke-slider/) * Thread Starter [shellius](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shellius/) * (@shellius) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broke-slider/#post-7413314) * You are right, it is compatible with WordPress. It is not compatible with many of my premium themes or sliders, so for that reason I can no longer use it. People need to be aware that the gallery plugin breaks sliders. This is an old issue, if you look it up online. It has been breaking sliders for years. If I had known that I would never have started to use it. That means there is a problem with the plugin itself, so it shouldn’t be blamed on just whatever themes no longer work with it due to the slider issue. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] Broke Slider](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broke-slider/) * Thread Starter [shellius](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shellius/) * (@shellius) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broke-slider/#post-7413286) * There was a new update to the plugin today and it didn’t fix the problem. My theme still has a non-appearing slider when the plugin is activated…. This plugin does NOT work with the newest version of WordPress! People need to be aware it might break your slider and who knows what else this plugin will do to your theme. I will have to replace all my galleries with another plugin unless they fix this soon. * (It has never happened before, I have used this plugin for years.) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] My Nextgen gallery is broken with 3.1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-my-nextgen-gallery-is-broken-with-31/) * Thread Starter [shellius](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shellius/) * (@shellius) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-my-nextgen-gallery-is-broken-with-31/#post-1960620) * From that page the only answer is it’s not fixed yet. I wonder if anyone knows if it will be fixed or should we use another photo gallery plug in? The weird thing is that some people continue to use it and it works for them. So maybe it’s related to theme or other plugins? It does not work for me at the moment and it’s completely ruining my site. My blog depends on the Nextgen gallery plugin for every single post. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [admin dashboard module needs fix ?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-dashboard-module-needs-fix/) * [shellius](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shellius/) * (@shellius) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-dashboard-module-needs-fix/#post-1333832) * Sick to death of these upgrades. * sorry flyingdisc, I can’t help you.

Really despise and dread them? * I hate the upgrades. * WordPress is always change for the sake of change. I install a new version, fix whatever is wrong with my database afterwards, (it’s usually something like the size of the database or something minor but annoying) and then 2 weeks later, another upgrade, more fixes, etc. What are all these upgrades gaining the user but more headaches? For about a year now I’ve wanted to stop upgrading but then the plugins stop working or something else. The users don’t need all these upgrades. The developers are drinking too much Red Bull or something is making them overly hyperactive. Please, please stop “improving” something that works and let us just USE it. * I’m not upgrading any more. I’m sick of all these problems every single time! * At the moment I can’t even use my admin panel and can’t find a way to fix it. Maybe I’ll just move to Typepad or something that isn’t upgraded so damn much. * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Too many updates, slight rant](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/too-many-updates-slight-rant/) * [shellius](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shellius/) * (@shellius) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/too-many-updates-slight-rant/page/2/#post-1165563) * I hate the upgrades. * WordPress is always change for the sake of change.

I can’t access two of my blogs now thanks to this problem and nothing I have found here is working. Why don’t you developers stop trying to release new versions so quickly? Just let us bloggers be for awhile, without all these upgrades.

I have the latest version of WP, 2.8.1. On a long post, when saving, the post disappears entirely. I can’t make it stay and I can’t get it to post. I have checked all over for answers to this and no one seems to know why this would happen! (This has never happened to me before, only with this version of WP.) I guess I will try to split the post up into two posts, but that will really mess things up for me. I hope this problem disappears with the next version, but if not, is there any fix for it now? * P.S. this is not an image problem for me, simply text. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to preserve MS Word formatting in WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-preserve-ms-word-formatting-in-wordpress/) * [shellius](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shellius/) * (@shellius) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-preserve-ms-word-formatting-in-wordpress/#post-733088) * Did anyone ever answer this question? Word loses all formatting when imported into WordPress.

I’m trying to get a WordPress blog to work inside Tiny Portal, the portal for SMF forums. I want it all to be one website instead of having people flip over from the forum into a WordPress blog that is by itself. I’d like to know if it can all be integrated into the portal so that blog and forum are all together. Any ideas, please let me know. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [No WYSIWYG Editor in 2.1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-wysiwyg-editor-in-21/) * [shellius](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shellius/) * (@shellius) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-wysiwyg-editor-in-21/page/3/#post-508798) * Yes, I’ve been spending a lot of time troubleshooting and have tried everything everyone has mentioned, reinstalled, etc. the problem is still there.

I use Firefox, a Mac and just installed 2.1 and I can’t even edit my posts. I have no editor tabs, no icons, no rich text. How would I deactivate the plugins image manager? I don’t understand the directions of the latest comment by AdrianusV.
