Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: help with email postingYeah, this is really frustrating. I’ve been having the same problem since I installed 1.2. Now I’m up to 1.5.1.1 and I still get the “There doesn’t seem to be any new mail.” message. I checked everything out and it all seems to be as it should be, yet, still no luck.
If I understand correctly, I shouldn’t need to do a cron job if I just access wp.mail.php, right?
Man, this is frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In reply to: AudiobloggerThanks, man! Yeah, I checked it out–it’s awesome.
Still can’t get the email posting to work. I’m upgrading to the latest WP today, so we’ll see how that goes.

In reply to: Bloglines – valid RSS, but no updates?Wow, cool–thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, I’m not on the latest WP, but I’m starting to get tired of upgrading only to discover that I need to upgrade even further. Very frustrating. I’m going to upgrade to 1.5.1.1 today and see what happens.
As for the aggregator I use, I actually don’t. I use Bloglines to manage my blogroll. However, when I go to my rss page myself, it’s blank, well, not entirely blank but where I should be seeing my content, I see nothing. You can see the results here:

No worries, though–I’m going to just do a new install of WP and simply point it at the same db. We’ll see how it goes. Thanks again for all the advice though!

In reply to: Bloglines – valid RSS, but no updates?Wow, I’m kind of shocked no one has replied to this post. Not being able to be syndicated in today’s day and age is a major problem. I have a feeling the only way I’ll be able to fix this problem on my own is by starting over with a default template and rebuilding my site’s design from scratch. That is not cool–it’s been a huge project switching over to WP in the first place. I started back in November and still have yet to finish the full migration.
Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated!

In reply to: AudiobloggerWow, cool–I wasn’t aware that this could be done. I’ve also had little luck getting the email posting to work with WP. I’ll have to try again, I guess. Thanks!
How do you tell AudioBlogger to send your post via email?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: AudiobloggerThe suggestion Allthewhile made is fine, but that’s just for having your AB posts appear on your pages. What I’d like is for there to be a way for the AudioBlogger.com site to update my main WP1.5 blog instead of having a separate place for my ABs. Anyone know how to do this?
This guy has been claiming he’ll post a tutorial on how he set things up to do exactly what I describe above for months now:

Unfortunately he has yet to do so. I’ve posted another comment to the above page so hopefully he’ll do it.

In reply to: Bloglines – valid RSS, but no updates?Hey, I’m having the same problem. I’m on WP 1.5, my feed is listed as valid, yet no entries are listed on BlogLines or anywhere else. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

In reply to: RSS syndicate using old URI structureTried changing it to this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="<?php echo get_settings('siteurl'); ?>http://thepete.com/print.css" />And still no-go.
Does it make sense to try it with the absolute path and not URI?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: RSS syndicate using old URI structureBy re-linking, do you mean just fixing the paths/URLs? Like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="<?php echo get_settings('siteurl'); ?>../print.css" />I added the “..” in front of “print.css” and that didn’t help. Still a blank page.
Thanks for the suggestion, though!

In reply to: search by specific category ?I second the request. This is something that I remember being able to do in GreyMatter and since WP is much more robust than GM, I’d expect a similar ability. Any takers?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Old URI structure–what is it?I just wanted something that sounded “official” since I’ll be pointing another domain at this particular page. I’ve actually sussed out the problem, strangely–I simply pulled the following code out of the page, itself:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="<?php echo get_settings('siteurl'); ?>./print.css" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS .92" href="<?php bloginfo('rss_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom 0.3" href="<?php bloginfo('atom_url'); ?>" /><link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url'); ?>" />
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&format=link'); ?>
<?php //comments_popup_script(); // off by default ?>
<?php wp_head(); ?>Can’t explain why, bute that was screwing things up. Now the page loads fine.
But thanks anway! I do appreciate you taking a moment to ponder my perdicament.

In reply to: Old URI structure–what is it?This is very strange–so I’ve put the renamed main.php to index.php and stuck it into a subdirectory. I changed
require(‘wp-blog-header.php’);
to:
require(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);
Now I just get a blank page when I open the URI in a browser.
Any ideas?
I tried renaming it back to main.php and same blank page. I moved it back into the root and the page loads fine. Any advice would be appreciated as always! Thanks!
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Old URI structure–what is it?Cool thanks! Alas, I tried it with main.php and it doesn’t work–it does work with my regular index.php, but not main.php. Does that make any sense at all? I may have to make a different page for each category or perhaps try switching main.php back to index.php and putting the lot in a subdirectory. Siiigh… I guess those will work unless anyone has a suggestion for how to get main.php?cat=# to work like index.php?cat=# does…
Again, Oriecat, thanks!

In reply to: Livejournal Autoupdate for 1.5?Yeah, I’m looking forward to this one working for 1.5, too. I can’t afford to switch to a host that allows for more than 15 MySQL connections at a given time so, having an LJ as a back up would be an awesome (and free) alternative that my users could resort to when my db has reached its limit.

In reply to: Livejournal Autoupdate for 1.5?Hey, in the comments section of Utein’s page for LivePress, Brint has a supposedly easy fix for the incompatibility issues with LP and WP 1.5. He says the fix is easy, but I couldn’t get it to work without some errors on line 12 that I couldn’t suss out. But who knows? Maybe you or someone else can get the fix to work for you. If you can, post back here and share the joy. (and maybe some advice on how to solve my line 12 errors!) Good luck!!!
PS Here is the link to the page with the fix on it:
