Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Changing Default Posting StatusI added an account using the FROM address that I use when I blog my email and it posted right away without any problems. I suspect that this “hold” feature has been added to prevent just anybody from automatically posting to your blog (should they get your secret email address somehow).
When I created the account, I gave it administrator rights.
I haven’t tested this thoroughly; if you could test it and post back, it may help validate…

In reply to: Comments Broken Please HelpHere’s how I fixed it.
1. Go into your Control Panel and select a different theme (it will be temporary).
2. Using a FTP client, log in to your website.
3. Go to wp-content/themes.
4. Re-name the “light” folder to something else. Let’s say you named it “asdf” for this example (clever, eh?).
5. Go into “asdf”. The folder “light” will be there.
6. Move the “light” folder up one level (so that it is included in wp-content/themes).
7. Go up one level.
8. Delete “asdf”.
9. Re-activate the theme.
All should be well.
I had the same problem and this fixed it.

In reply to: updating many blogs at same timeI just now found this post about a system that might do what you want. You basically blog by email — except you replace the existing wp-mail file with a special one that doesn’t delete the email after it’s read.
You can then have other blogs read the email and post the message.
This person recommends setting up a cron job to make it automatic.
I’ve been doing some blogging by email (not using this system) and find that most email clients will wrap your messages at 60 characters, which can mess up your posts (especially if you include links). I’m going to experiment with RoundCube; from some very limited tests, it doesn’t seem to wrap at 60 characters, so I’m hoping it won’t mess up my posts.
Again, a disclaimer: I have not tested this system, I do not know if it works or if it is safe; it is simply something I found five minutes ago while searching for the answer to another wp-mail isse, so perform due diligence before implementing:

In reply to: Trojan dowloader?If that is your blog, there’s a good chance that it has been compromised and IFRAME code inserted that attempts to install a trojan on the computer of anybody that visits your site.
At this point, your best bet would be to call in a certified computer security consultant who can take a look at what’s there and give you specific advice.

In reply to: WordPress 2.3.2 Version In Header – “Keep For Stats”Many thanks to all. I went back to an older version and saw that it read “Please keep for stats” after my initial post, so I figured it was a WordPress request.
And actually, you got it right, GrabAThene; I’m more interested in making it harder for hackers (although it’s hard to hide anything from a tireless script, and it’s very easy to upgrade now).
Best regards,
Tom
