In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Contact Form 7 – Says it sent, but we receive nothing!I take it back. . . whatever my host did on their end (though claiming not to have made any changes) seems to have fixed the issue. Our forms are now sending successfully.
(Thank goodness, too. I’m a Contact Form 7 fan – would have hated to have to change to something else!)

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Contact Form 7 – Says it sent, but we receive nothing!Thanks Takayuki –
I contacted my host. They say they uploaded a sample mail script that delivered a test message right away in addition to advancing the sent mail count on the mail server.
. . . They say something must be conflicting in the script. I don’t understand it. The form had been working perfectly up until last night.
Any other thoughts?

In reply to: “Fetch as Googlebot” returns 404 for working pages.Final update: (I believe in making sure an answer to my question exists on record, even if I’m the one answering it!)
. . . It seems my problems were solved by simply moving all my legacy site 301 redirects below the wordpress .htaccess code. (In other words, below # END WordPress) My legacy pages redirect just fine now – and Googlebot is properly reporting for URLs with and without the trailing slash.
Mission accomplished! I had no idea the .htaccess file was so sensitive to arrangement. Hopefully this helps in the event that anyone else hits a wall on this issue.

In reply to: “Fetch as Googlebot” returns 404 for working pages.I’m still working on this issue – but I may be close to identifying the problem. In addition to the portion of my .htaccess file included above, I have several working 301 redirects for pages from a legacy site, prior to using wordpress. If I remove those redirects from the .htaccess file, “Fetch as Googlebot” quickly reports success on both urls (with or without the trailing slash.)
This is exciting, because I’m starting to feel more confident now that I know Google can see our pages. But now that the 301 redirects for our legacy pages have been removed, those links still go to our old website. Is my only option to replace each page with an html redirect?
. . . Probably not a question for the WordPress forums – but perhaps someone has an idea. Thanks!

In reply to: what do I put in an htaccess file?Robert, what was wrong? I’m running into issues that I think may be related – I have a lot of the same stuff in my htaccess file.
Let me know how you fixed your issue if you get a chance. Thanks!
