More info:

My installation. WP 3.4.2 CF7 3.3 Message SAYS it’s sent, but it never arrives.

Only other thing happening here is that my Shopp installation has suddenly begun sending me 200-300 emails at a time over a stupid file descriptor error that developer says has been there all along. Shopp and CF7 updated at same time to latest version.

Pulling my hair out!

Twitter Feed Setting at Top

Unrelated the the background, but related to the Twitter settings for Twitter feed thingy at the top of the page…

I was able to “turn it on” by adding the Twitter Latest Tweets widget to the sidebar and giving it my Twitter id and saving.

If you didn’t want to keep the Twitter sidebar widget, once saved, just move it to the lower widget holder that allows you to store widgets and their settings for later use.

The little bird in this theme is a background image on the .block-twitter a.followMe classes. To remove it, you can edit the style.css file that starts on line 565 to remove the part that says background: transparent url(images/twitter.png) no-repeat scroll center.

You may optionally also create an image more in tune with your image, and name is twitter.png and upload to the location shown above. This will use your image rather than the one that came with the theme.

Please note you must upload it to the wp-content/themes/mystique/images location.

Hope this helps.

Loving this theme!
Blogging Your Brand With WordPress

Chased the bug round and round for several hours. After I found the solution, I tested it out on 14 blogs having the same problem. Worked like a charm on 12 of the 14. The other two required upgrades to the plugins before the problem went away….. so start here…

https://www.cenaynailor.com/blogging/wordpress-blogging/fix-the-wordpress-blank-page-error/

Basically, it boils down to certain of your key files in the WordPress set having a blank line after the closing PHP tag. ( ?> )

By opening wp-settings.php and wp-config.php and a couple of others, I was able to remove the blank line and log right in. I know, sounds crazy, but like I said, worked 12 out of 14 times.

You can do the editing with your control panel file manager, an external FTP client or if you are smart… download WordPress to your local machine first, make the changes, then upload to your domain.

I will be doing this to all future versions of WP, just to eliminate the possibility. I love WordPress, but do hate the upgrade issues that are pretty regular.

Hmm, I use IX Web Hosting, which does use Windows as the OS. I believe I was told they use Apache (rather than IIS or in addition to, I don’t know).

Do you have a link or instructions what they extra effort is?

Thanks!

Okay, gonna go back to the way it was/has to be. I will check back and try again when someone has a suggestion. By the way, these are the things I have tried:
1) Manually created the .HTAccess file that looks like this. Options +FollowSymlinks
DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.asp index.htm index.html
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

2) Attempted to update the permissions on this file, but WordPress is saying it is updating. Updated the structure and then downloaded the “changed” file, only to see there were no updates.

3) Deleted the contents of the file, then updated the permalinks again so it would regenerate it. Empty. Strange.

Anyway.. time to get back to work. Dang, this is plaguing me tho.

=(

Updated to the custom option (/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/) and clicked Update Permalink Structure. No error message. Says it successfully updated the structure.

However, I clicked a heading for one of the pages and I get an error message that the page cannot be found.

https://cenaynailor.com/blog is the current address, click on any of the links…
I will leave it broken for right now and check back in a few…

Thanks… DID read that and I am no closer to a solution. I can’t find an .HTACCESS file as a sample to use, can’t find one on my server. Not even sure if I need one, although it does appear that I do.

And while I would hope for SEO benefits (like a single page for a single post, improving ranking), it is really the humans I want to please.

Thanks though for the post. I guess I am going back to the drawing board. Would HATE to go back to Blogger now that I have “seen the light”, but I can’t get it to work.
