In reply to: Strange message when running wp-mail.phpUpdate:
I replaced the hacked version of wp-mail.php with the factory-stock original. Same exact error message results. The server used by my isp is the Horde Project’s IMP server. If anyone can help here, please do!
Again, TIA!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: 1..5 creating “pages”Aha! Fixed it! My perms on the .htaccess that I created were too restrictive. I figured this out when I went to change my Permalinks options, and got the message “You should update your .htaccess file now.” So I changed perms to 777, readjusted Permalinks options, and got a different message: “Permalinks options changed.” Went back to Page Manager, created a new page, and viola! New page works! Thanks for the clue about the .htaccess.
And just out of curiosity, why doesn’t WP come with such an important file by default, or create it during install? Just wondering, as I’m no apache expert, and my site is hosted.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: 1..5 creating “pages”MtDewVirus, I wasn’t expecting an actual folder by those names. That’s just what the error message read. What .htaccess file are you talking about? Should there have been one in the wp directory? B/c there wasn’t one in my default install of WP 1.5, and I do remember seeing a message during configuration (not sure which item I was configuring) that said “you should update your .htaccess file now.” Anyways, I created an .htaccess file, gave it writable permissions (0664), deleted the pages that were showing in Page Manager, recreated a page, and….no dice. Same thing. I’ll go back and play with my permalinks settings, and see what happens. Any more ideas? Oh, and FWIW, I don’t have _any_ 3rd parth plugins installed yet–that means no faked folders plugin. Thanks!

In reply to: 1..5 creating “pages”I have a very similar problem with Page creation. I have a shiny new (not upgrade) WP 1.5 install, which works pretty much flawlessly (so far) except for this. Here’s what happens: I use the Write>Write Page form to create a page. Fill in the pertinent info, click “Create Page”, and I get the message “Page Saved.” Then I click on the Manage Pages link next to that notification, and the page(s) I just created show(s) up on the page management screen. Clicking Edit allows me to edit them, but clicking “View” nets me a 404 message. Here’s an example:
The requested URL /wp/photogallery/pictures/ was not found on this server.
where photogallery was the original page I created, and pictures was a subpage that I created under that. Using ftp to browse the server, indeed, there is nothing called photogallery or pictures on my site. I have a standard setup on my host–i.e. my root directory is http://www.mydomainname.com, and wp is installed in the mydomainname.com/wp directory. I haven’t hacked anything, other than to put a Random Photo Block in the index page of my theme. Can someone please help me out here?
Thanks in advance.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Add the Gallery Random Block to WPCan someone PLEASE provide some solid information for those new to WP? It would be nice to have answers to a couple of the questions above, like:
Where do we put the php include for the block_random.php?
Do we put the ob_end_flush on index.php, along with the other stuff that’s already there? (WP 1.5 has a rather threadbare index.php–do we put the ob_end_flush in it’s own set of <? ?> after the ones that are already there?)
I’m using an unmodified version of WP 1.5, so can someone please provide specific instructions on where to put these things (i.e. which files, where exactly in those files, etc.)? And please remember, we’re not all php programmers.
Thanks in advance for any help.
