In reply to: How to Modify DashboardHello 5115,
Well, I will give it a shot and see how bad I mess things up. Will do on the backup for sure. I wonder if someone has created a plug-in (something I have not used yet) that would make this easier for us (older) novices..
Many Thanks,
Will let you know how badly I screw it up…

In reply to: How to Modify DashboardHello 5115, Thanks… So if one does not know PHP very well, we are out on a tree limb ?.. I understand about the replace everytime I upgrade…currently running 2.3.3 Sure with there was a easier way than PHP editing…
I will look carefully, before I do anything…
Maybe someone will have a more novice soluton..smile…SteveF

In reply to: Now password e-mailWell, Darn…. It is doing it again…
I noticed the e-mail port was defaulted to 110..
Changed to 26 (bluehost) and it worked for 2 new registrations… NO changes… then no workie..
I changed back to 110, then to 25 then back to 26…DARN again… Admin IS receiving e-mail notification that a new user has registered but the user is Never notified… crap… This should not be a problem..I would think that the user registration should be set in stone…rock solid..work everytime..etc… Now darn again… I have not changed anything else… I do NOT tinker with code.. new install… I just wanted this to work so a local environmental website could share ideas and problems… crap… Any and ALL ideas would be so very welcome…Steve

In reply to: Now password e-mailOH…one more thing..
I had to change the default mail port to 26.
The normal is 25 but bluehost uses 26. The default after intallation was 110.Steve

In reply to: Now password e-mailJeremy,
thanks for the reply… PHP mail functions are ok.
Why would I have to add something. I thought that was the whole idea. WP was designed to offer us the option to require users to register or not…We are afraid we will have “bad users” reply with junk or even worse , bad language. Can you think of places I should look to correct the issue ? This really was a clean install at bluehost.com. First time… nothing added.. Stock all the way.. even a new e-mail address created… I am at a loss as to waht to do next ? Abandon WP and opt for another..Blus Host has several blog apps to choose from… Any suggestions ? I really d appreciate your expertise..
THANKS !

In reply to: Now password e-mailHi Folks,
New user with the same problem, NEW , FRESH install.
NO addon;s, NO plugin, NO added thems, everything stock install. E-Mail correct, however, a test reveals a new user is added to the database and NEVER receives the e-mail password. Seems to me that this is a fundamental requirement. We have a nice blog setup, where no one can reply becasue they never receive their passord. hummm..Where shoudl we look..A reply would really be appreciated.
