Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: recursive redirect problemWith help from the support chat at Bluehost, the diagnosis was “It was set to the wrong permalink structure.” It was somehow set to one of the non-default options, it’s now set to the default option. Now it works.
Solved: In options, I switched from GD to ImageMagick and changed the path from /usr/local/bin to /usr/bin
Thumbnails are now generated.
Additional information and corrections:
1) I remembered that even though I’m accessing/editing the WP site from my Mac, the site is actually hosted on a Linux system.
2) I discovered that the thumbnail image files aren’t being created at all — the my-photos directory contains the uploaded images, but the thumbnails subdirectory is empty.
I don’t know how the thumbnails are created, so I don’t know whether the plug-in is assuming that a particular external utility is available on the Linux machine. ImageMagick is present, but I’m not sure whether it’s relevant.

In reply to: [Plugin: WP Mail SMTP] Compatible with gMail SMTP?I have been unable to get any SMTP plug-in to work with gmail. I’m wondering whether it has to do with the host on which I’m running WordPress. From my home machine, I can successfully connect using
telnet smtp.gmail.com 465
When I try the same from my account on the WordPress host (at bluehost.com), it either times out or is refused for ports 25, 465, and 587. But the tech support people don’t think it’s their problem.
Any ideas? I did make sure, by the way, that the ‘from’ address I’m using is registered in my gmail account.
Do fixed IP addresses figure into this issue? Or is a firewall thing?

In reply to: [Plugin: HGK SMTP] Don’t get the test mailI’m having exactly the same problem as maorb with a brand new installation of HGK SMTP and a recently upgraded version of WordPress (2.8.4).
I am using all the default settings for gmail, and have tried two different gmail address/password combinations.
All other plugins are disabled (the only one previously enabled was reCaptcha).
When I try to send a test message, I get “Test Result” with no additional text, and a “return to options” button. No test message is ever received.
