Just in case anyone has an idea here, please read the previous posts. I cannot get WP to send email notifications after posts. I have edited my php.ini file so that any call for an SMTP server routes to my available SMTP server, the “comments_notify” option is set to True, and a phpbb forum I have running on the same server sends mail through the external server as expected. If anyone with php configuration experience reads this…Help!

I found it! (by trial and error and finding the variable listings for archives in the template_functions.php file.
is restored to the index page hack by adding:
<pre>
if (isset($m)) $cat = ”;
</pre>
Therefore the entire code for the my_hacks.php file is:
<pre>
if (!isset($cat) && !isset($p)) $cat = 1;
if (isset($s)) $cat = ”;
if (isset($m)) $cat = ”;
</pre>
Now if I could just figure out my emailing problem….(http://wordpress.org/support/3/3042), I’m good to go.

I’m still hoping someone can help me in setting up WP and php to send mail through a separate mail server. It was suggested that I edit my php.ini file. I did by adding
<pre>
SMTP = mailserver.com
</pre>
and in looking at what’s active in my php setup, this addition “takes” after restarting the server. However, emails (such as those sent after comments are posted) are not sent. I seem to be missing something here; probably trivial but I’m not getting it! Thanks.

OK, now I find out that with the above lines are inserted in “my_hacks.php”, when archives are selected only the posts present in category 1 are displayed. I tried adding a few permutations such as:
<pre>
if (isset($archives)) $cat = ”;
if (isset($a)) $cat = ”;
</pre>
but with no luck. I’ve searched through all the files looking for any other string that calls “archives” but can’t find anything obvious. Help!

Hi allusion
I’m having a bit of trouble determining the right line(s) to add in the php.ini
I’ve tried the following, singly and in various combinations, including all 3 (I do restart the server everytime, and when I check the php configurations, it shows that these are being recognized):
sendmail_from = mailserver.dom
sendmail_path = mailserver.dom
SMTP = mailserver.dom
What is this clueless person missing?

I was hoping selecting “private” in the edit menu for a particular post (in my proposed “private” category) would hide the post from visitors who are not logged in. Unfortunately (for me) that just hides the post from everybody, including the admin.
