 * It is apparently adding my entry but I think it has a problem with auto pinging
   for some reason.. This is the section of code where it is hitting a snag …
 * First line is 841
 * function weblog_ping($server = ”, $path = ”) {
    global $wp_version; include_once(
   ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/class-IXR.php’);
 *  // using a timeout of 3 seconds should be enough to cover slow servers
    $client
   = new IXR_Client($server, ((!strlen(trim($path)) || (‘/’ == $path)) ? false :
   $path)); $client->timeout = 3; $client->useragent .= ‘ — WordPress/’.$wp_version;
 *  // when set to true, this outputs debug messages by itself
    $client->debug =
   false; $home = trailingslashit( get_option(‘home’) ); if ( !$client->query(‘weblogUpdates.
   extendedPing’, get_settings(‘blogname’), $home, get_bloginfo(‘rss2_url’) ) ) //
   then try a normal ping $client->query(‘weblogUpdates.ping’, get_settings(‘blogname’),
   $home); }

 * There was another thread about this but I wanted to close this one for anyone
   else who has the same problem. I realized I had ‘force lowercase’ in my ftp options–
   so the files were all uploaded in lower case. Once I capitalized the proper letters
   in the file name it worked fine 🙂
