I went and added a few lines of sql to clear out the postmeta table also, you need to figure out what your flamingo adds. That said, I really would like a button….

DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE meta_status='flamingo-spam';
DELETE FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key='_from';
DELETE FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key='_from_name';
DELETE FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key='_from_email';
...

not to be discouraging, but these are questions your webhost has to answer.

wp-cron is activated by page views, when a page is loaded it checks if the time set for a scheduled task has past and if so does it. I can’t find any really good tutorials either, despite having so much time pass.

this is all I’ve got thats any good so far:

I recognize that this might be a little late but I was encountering the same problem and was able to discover what was the offending code.

I don’t know what your situation was but for me, I had added this to wp-config.php:

// vbulletin integration
$curdir = getcwd ();
chdir('/www/site/forum');
require_once('/www/site/forum/global.php');
chdir ($curdir);

to be able to display vbulletin user info on my template pages and when I removed the code things started to work again.

<?php $issue_articles = $wpdb->get_results("
	SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts
	LEFT JOIN $wpdb->postmeta ON($wpdb->posts.ID = $wpdb->postmeta.post_id)
	WHERE $wpdb->posts.post_status = 'publish'
	AND $wpdb->postmeta.meta_key = 'magazine'
	AND $wpdb->postmeta.meta_value = $display_issue
	ORDER BY $wpdb->posts.post_date DESC
	", OBJECT); ?>
<?php foreach($issue_articles as $issue_article) : the_post($issue_article); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_ID(); ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

This code returns the ID’s of the posts that would regularly be displayed, not the ones from the custom query. However when I add that suspicious, heavy handed code all of a sudden the posts from the custom query are getting displayed.

I don’t want to complain, but I just wish I knew what was going on.

I got that error message once, and I believe that it was because my computer or text editor had munched the line endings or something. And so what I did was re uploaded all the files with a different ftp client from a different computer and it worked (originally I was using cyberduck on a mac and then I used transmit).

http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/76247, this isn’t the only thread reporting this error. Image uploading is working fine for me locally on OSX, using the in-built apache and php with the mysql 5 binary from the mysql site. But on my windows hosting provider I get that error message.

From what I hear this sounds like a problem in the install? If so, what happens if delete all the database tables and re-install?
