This is still a problem for me. Could it be a FF25 issue?

Glad to hear you were able to get it working again.

Hi Migee,
I spoke with someone at GoDaddy and they said it was an issue on their end and that their email servers had queuing issues. It was pretty frustrating for about a week and then, it started working. Unfortunately, other than the possible server issue, I never found out what the problem was.

I am trying to connect to gmail account and all settings appear correct

smtp.gmail.com
port 465
username and address of account entered into smtp uername and password field

This is the error I receive when I try to send a test email:

An error was encountered while trying to send the test e-mail.

SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.

Failed to connect to server
Connection refused

No, only the second one was on feedburner. The wordpress.com account just used the default subscription management. When I moved the blog over, I imported the subscribers and used the Subscribe 2 plugin and then added Feedburner a month later. So, I have 100 subscribers that aren’t in Feedburner – they are set up as users in my blog. How can I get them to receive the feedburner feed?

Part of the problem is that my hosting company is having issues queuing emails and they aren’t getting to the subscribers. I thought if I could move my users to Feedburner it wouldn’t be an issue. Hope that’s not complicating this unnecessarily.

Thanks for your quick reply!

Is there any way to check this for sure? Sometimes it’s a little challenging dealing with a hosting company when you can’t prove anything and you’re not that technically savvy.

Are there any other tests that I can do to eliminate possible issues on my end or theirs?

Thanks – got it to work!

I do have another question, though. If you have a main facebook profile and have multiple pages, can you connect your blog to one of the pages instead of the profile? And, if so, how?

Having trouble on step 2. When connecting to Facebook, it just tries to connect and then gets hung up. No error message given.

Hi Mike,

Thanks so much for the diagnosic tests – these are great! I followed your instructions to test if the cookies are enabled (they are) and my PHP installation will support CAPTCHA. I am still receiving the same error message, even after deactivating each plugin one at a time, to see if they were the cause of the problem. I have the latest SI CAPTCHA version 1.7.9. Do you have any other suggestions?

I am also having the same problem. I have a self-hosted blog on www.ads-software.com, signed up for an account with wordpress.com and received an API key. However, how do you connect the two? If I want to use the API key on YouTube, how will it know that the totally new, separate wordpress.com account will relate to my self-hosted blog? Many of the solutions offered relate to having the akismet plugin – evidently, you could connect the 2 accounts by entering you api number with the plugin, however, it seems the question that isn’t answered, is how you connect the two accounts in general.

I am having the same problem. I did find some excellent instructions, but they only get you to a certain point (and that is if you are looking for an API key for akismet). See link below. So, if you’ve signed up for a wordpress.com account and have a self-hosted site, what’s next, how do you connect the two without using the akismet plugin as I only need the API key for Youtube?

Wow! What a simple fix to a frustrating problem. It’s amazing how easy something is when you know how to do it ?? Thank you SO much for your help with that!

Another question that you may know the answer to (from above):

RSS comments and entries – you can subscribe and receive past entries/comments, but if a new entry/comment is submitted and you have subscribed to the feed, you will not receive the new entry/comment.

It seems that since I fixed the strong tag, that I can now receive RSS comments (does html issues really affect RSS feeds?), but I receive it as a new post to the blog vs. if you subscribed to the comment feed. See this page: https://blog.goenergetix.com/?page_id=172

Thank you – is there any reason why these errors would be visible on the home page (i.e. they are bold on the home page, but if you select one of the posts, they aren’t bold?)

Hello! I know this is an older topic, but I could use a little help with your theme (which is really nice by the way). I’m using this version from https://www.alibiproductions.com/2008/07/30/elements-of-seo-update/

1. on the home page, sidebar widgets are all bold (the other pages are fine)
2. last few posts are bold (although html seems fine)
3. RSS comments and entries – you can subscribe and receive past entries/comments, but if a new entry/comment is submitted and you have subscribed to the feed, you will not receive the new entry/comment.

I am listing all issues as perhaps they are related. I validated the blog and there are a few issues, but I’m not an expert and only know basic html. I would appreciate any help.

Not sure if this is important, but these are the plugins I’m using with your theme:

Add to Any: Share/Save/Bookmark Button .9.8.8
All in One SEO Pack
Cystat
Event Calendar Widget 3.1.4
Pagini Multiple 0.2
Register Plus 3.5.1
RSSupplement 1.2
Sidebar Login 2.1.7
WP-Cumulus 1.18
WP-Footnotes
