Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: No menu drag and drop in 3.4.1That’s a very gracious offer. I should re-iterate, though, that I can’t replicate it myself on another machine. Banjaxed! What I have is:
Dell Desktop: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS, WAMP installation (Apache 2.2.17, PHP 5.3.4, MySQL 5.1.53). Three WP implementations: localhost is WP 3.4.2 and works perfectly; localhost/odonata is 3.4.1 and works; localhost/bnhs was vanilla WP 3.3 which allowed drag and drop menu definition, auto-upgrade to 3.4.2 broke it (now dragging just highlights text). I’ve trashed localhost/bnhs a couple of times and started from scratch – same deal, broken drag and drop.
Dell Laptop – same setup: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS, WAMP installation (Apache 2.2.17, PHP 5.3.4, MySQL 5.1.53). localhost is WP 3.3.1. localhost/wordpress33 started with vanilla WP 3.3, auto-upgrade to 3.4.2 and it does what it says on the tin – all works as expected. I’ve installed a couple of plugins (Contact Form 7, Fast Secure Contact Forms, Contact Form to Database extension) which is where I came in and that doesn’t break it. (I left these out of the re-installations on the desktop.)
The desktop installation is my development machine for a couple of sites I look after using WP, including my own. The laptop is a shadow for me to carry and reference when travelling.
This is so weird.

In reply to: No menu drag and drop in 3.4.1Thanks for this, xymantec, but … this is a Windows box not a *nix box. Nonetheless, I’ll try and turn what you’ve said into a Windows permissions investigation. There’s a couple of weird things, though:
1. The installation directories work fine with WP 3.3 but fail with 3.4.2;
2. I’ve got another Windows box that 3.4.2 DOES work on.Both the above are vanilla systems, clean installations.

In reply to: No menu drag and drop in 3.4.1I have the “drag and drop of menu pages not working” issue with WordPress 3.4.2 and it seems to be nothing at all top do with plugins. So, I experimented:
- I installed a brand new, vanilla 3.3 WordPress – NO additional plugins
- I defined three pages
- I defined a Primary navigation menu
- I could drag and drop the pages to re-order the menu
- I did the automatic update to 3.4.2
- Now drag and drop does NOT work on the menu – just highlights text
So, I’d say there is something wrong with 3.4.2 and it’s nothing related to plugins.
Very annoying! Fortunately, I kept several old versions of WordPress.

In reply to: No registration password email?I thought I was suffering from this problem, too, even on an alter-ego (ie not my admin email) of my own. It turns out that my alter-ego’s emailing system (Yahoo) was sending the WordPress password email straight into the Spam folder.
If you haven’t already (but I imagine you have), do check any spam/bulk mailing folders for the missing email.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Not showing in plugins panelKalessin and Ronalfy – thanks for trying to help. I’ve set “everything” authority on this plugin but still no joy. I’ve got other plugins working without the need for such intervention.
I’m suspicious about its directory structure since there is no PHP file immediately beneath its main directory.
