Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Post by emailYou could check with your webhost to see if it is possible to setup a cron job on the server that will call the wp-mail.php on a schedule (such as every 30 minutes, every couple of hours, etc) for you.

In reply to: Upgrade to 2.9 from 2.8.6 failsYou can also manually get WordPress to do the database upgrade by visiting upgrade.php in your wp-admin folder.
So if WordPress was installed in your site root it would be:
http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/upgrade.phpOr if in a directory called blog:
http://yourdomain.com/blog/wp-admin/upgrade.phpTo others, if you tried to perform the auto-upgrade and it failed (causing you to now see a white screen), the best advice I can give is to upload WordPress via FTP and visit the upgrade URL above (WordPress will also force you onto it if you try to login before the database has had the necessary changes made).

In reply to: I Upgraded to 2.9 But I get A BlankAre you sure that you were getting all the files uploaded when you tried to upload via FTP? I’ve performed a bunch of upgrades since 2.9 came out and have been able to get them all working again by uploading WordPress via FTP, even in failed upgrade instances.
uoo1 – You should be able to upload via FTP still. Basically you can just avoid uploading the wp-content directory. You shouldn’t need to delete any of your pics in order to upgrade WordPress unless you’ve been storing them in the wrong place.

In reply to: WordPress 2.9: your attempt to edit this post has failedIs there anything else in common with your installations? I just tried this with an upgraded install of 2.9 and the latest version of Twitter Tools. I created a new post with the post title of “Test” then pressed tab to move to the body and typed “Test”. Then I clicked Save Draft and it saved correctly. “Notify Twitter about this post” was set to Yes and I tried it multiple times with new posts.
I also tried it with “bla” for the title and content since it was specifically outlined in the steps to reproduce the error here.
I’m just looking for something else in common with the installations so I can share it with the developer. Thanks.

In reply to: Page Not Found?You can ask your webhost if there is a better set of permissions that will still allow WordPress to write to the .htaccess file but not let other users on the server write to it.

In reply to: New Install, images blankIt sounds like it is possibly a configuration issue with how your host has Fantastico setup. Have you asked them about it?

In reply to: Page Not Found?Try logging into WordPress and going to Settings -> Permalinks. Then save the settings. Also pay attention to the bottom. If WordPress is unable to create your .htaccess file itself, it will tell you what needs to be placed in it.
I believe this will fix your problem, but feel free to post back if it does not.

In reply to: Dumb Question but what are these icons? CSS-related?That image appears to be coming from style.css around line 71.

In reply to: Akismet protocolsPretty sure that’s not publicly available, and in all reality, that is probably for the best since spammers could analyze it for ways to get around it.
It is probably going to depend on your theme as to where the code is. Have you looked for a comments.php?

In reply to: Adding Space Between PostsIn style.css on line 262 is a declaration for .post and it currently has a margin-bottom of 25px. You can increase this number to add more space between your posts.

In reply to: Hosting and DomainYou can do any of the options you mentioned. I assume when you say you “purchas[ed] it through wordpress” that you mean you purchased it from WordPress.com.
The advantages to using a host other then WordPress.com would mainly be that you could install your own themes and plugins. But if that is not important to you, then it really comes down to whichever host you prefer since either can let you use your own domain.

In reply to: Dashboard looks like Raw HTMLSo just to be sure, if you try to load the .CSS file directly in your browser, you are able to load it?

In reply to: Change domain.Have you tried asking HostGator if they can either swap the domain on your account or park the domain on top of the old one?
It’s very possible swapping it out for you won’t be an issue as many hosts setup your account with the domain in directory structures and config files.
If they can just park the new domain on top of the old domain for you though, then you would just need to go into your WordPress admin under Settings->General and change the Blog URL and WordPress URL to use the new domain.
