In reply to: WordPress Database Backup PluginIn wp-db-backup 1.5 I get the error message:
“The script to backup your database is too large for PHP to load entirely into memory, and so cannot be compressed within PHP.
Your database was too large to compress.
Your backup has been saved uncompressed.”I read on Skippy dot net about PHP memory limit, but that can’t be it because I have don’t have more than a few posts. Besides… It worked before. I think it stopped working when I upgraded to the latest version. Any ideas why? I guess I don’t need to have it zipped, but it’s a bit annoying that the gzip feature is always selected. I just know that I’ll try it once each time before I remember to uncheck it.

In reply to: How do I get my excerpt to show up in my RSS feed?Ok. Silly me. Figured out that I was looking in the wrong place for a feed. In /rss/ and not /feed/.
So I think that actually works now.Still wondering about pingomatic.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Can’t access pingomaticWow. Never had this many replies to a post this fast here before. And it turns out that it’s probably not a fault at all, like you say. I will check it later and hope for more success! Thank you for clearing that up!
It would be neat if there had been a plugin or something that gave a feedback of some kind saying if pinging was successful or not. As I understand it, now posts will go through leaving you thinkin that pings were successfully sent even if they weren’t?
Thank you again for helping out! I’ll come back and whine more if it turns out to be some other error in addition to the server being down. Which it probably isn’t.
I also found starting a new topic here a bit confusin now after the tagbased change thing. rednose49, you need to click on one of the (most relevant) tags at the top there first and then you can create a new post and select a main category for it.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: How easy is WP to install?It took me quite a while to get my local copy up since I had to face setting up a server and a database and using commands that I didn’t understand… But setting up WP on my actual web domain actually took less than five minutes like they claim. And it sounds like I have less skills than you.
Of course… even though setting it up can be fast, cutomizing the look and feel of it could take some time, like moshu says, (it took me weeks to understand the theme structure and get my own layout right) but at least by then it is running and everything you do just makes it better. Me, I’m really glad that I went with WordPress instead of some readymade service. Blogger, for instance has that next blog-link. Clicking on that off a weblog a friend of mine set up, took me to the most outrageous porn site I have ever seen. Which was interesting.
I spent days reading reviews of various blogging software and studying scripts at various free PHP sites before I decided on WP.
WordPress is probably unique in that there are so many developers improving and improving. There are constant new plugins and features. And of course this forum, without which I would be at square one.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: blockquote fails validationYes, I can feel that autoformat thing reading my mind right now.
Didn’t mean to confuse you there; yes I removed the double space again after I tried it and it didn’t work, so as not to drift too far away from how it originally was.
Textile was the problem! You solved it for me. And fast too! That was the quickest reply I have ever seen to a post. I am very happy now. And grateful! Thank you!

In reply to: blockquote fails validationThis doesn’t fix my page. I have validation errors on all blockquotes and they stay there no matter what I do in terms of line breaks. Tried all combinations; single double, double in front, single in back and vice verca.
Any other suggestions? Please?

P.S. This has to qualify as a bug, right? Since it is appears in every blockquote like that?

In reply to: Can you see my banner?Thank you, podz! That is good to know. I wonder why the banner didn’t show on that perticular PC tho. That’s a bit strange, isn’t it?

In reply to: PXS Mail Form: how do I remove domain check?That’s great news, ryanduff! I noticed that there were strange things going on at your site yesterday. Hope everything works out.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: PXS Mail Form: how do I remove domain check?I thought the alternative version was the one called Compatibility version. I tried both flavors of form that I found there but they both did the domain check, which surprised me a little.
I’ve gotten wp-ContactForm to work now so it should be ok. The redirect back to the homepage-function in PXS was wonderful tho. I shall miss that.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: wp-contactform esthetics and IE compability questionOk. I was the one doing something wrong. Removing some of the style tags seem to break the form completely in IE for MAC. But it’s working now even though I’m not completely happy with it’s margins and padding etc.
This thread has some very useful tips on a few modifications that helps to solve some problems many people are having with this form. http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic.php?id=30477#post-173846

In reply to: WP-Contactform and CSSOk, I understand. Thanks ceo! Think I will take that rest now before more things go wrong.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WP-Contactform and CSSAs it turns out, I was a little hasty to say that PXS mail worked nicely. I just tested the error feedback function. When I tried to get an e-mail to actually go through a few minutes later, I noticed that this doesn’t work at all. No matter what e-mail I input it says that “That destination does not appear to exist”. So now I’m back to wp-ContactForm again.
I was wondering… I’m asking just to make sure… when I take out the CSS from the wp-contactform.php file and put them in my regular styles, and comment out the
add_filter('wp_head', 'wpcf_css_link');… am I supposed to take out the entire part after/* Output CSS */or just the style tags themselves? It’s just the styles tags right? .contactform etc…
Tired and confused now.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: PXS Mail Form: how do I remove domain check?I actually started out using wp-contactform, but I had some problems getting it to stay in place. The main text input field stretched out very far and covered part of my sidebar. That’s why I wanted to try something else.
So now, following your advice, I’m back to wp-contactform.
Thank you for your help! I need someone to help me think clearly amidst all these forms and versions of forms. 🙂
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WP-Contactform and CSSOh… you mean the
add_filter('wp_head', 'wpcf_css');places it in the header of all pages since this is within the loop thing?ceo: thanks for the tip! The PXS mail form works nicely. I had to completely remove the styles in order to have the form behave and not jump off the page tho.
And I still cannot change the submit-button color. How? How? How? Sigh.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WP-Contactform and CSSPSX mail… so I should do exactly the same with this then, -move the styles to my regular stylesheet?
I don’t understand where this header everyone keeps talking about is. I can only see styles towards the end of the code. Is that loaded first then? And why on every page like you say if only one page includes the code that loads the form? Has it alterd a header somewhere else that I need to restore if I wish to remove the form? Wish I had a bigger brain. I don’t understand this at all.
