Doesn’t quite fix your issue but here’s a workaround fro you for setting the featured images:

You can do it automatically via plugin like Auto Post Thumbnail

it will take the first image and set it as the featured for your post.
You just have to remember to use the image you want for your post as the first image of the post

That’s the easiest way to do it but you can do it via your function php file with a bit of code

Yeah I get error 503:

Error 503 Service Unavailable
Service Unavailable
Guru Meditation:
XID: 1821692843
Varnish cache server

But never mind, I gave up and did it manually. I downloaded the database and searched and replaced everything and then imported it into my new site and it worked.

ok.. but now I have another problem.. varnish cache doesn’t let the plugin work apparently and I can’t shut it off because I don’t have access to it.

Any workaround you know of?

Old as in the old or original site, not old wordpress install… it’s the latest version of wordpress on both sites that I want to migrate from to the new site/domain/hosting

I have the site setup, it’s new name and all that, I just want to move the content and pictures over to the new site with different name and theme

I’m not understanding a ‘folder filter on images directory’

I can manually do it via ftp I would think, but moving them manually how would it or I know where to put them or where the images are?

Never mind I figured it out myself…

Ok.. I got it updated to php 5.3.27

When I press check now I still get the error 404 sometimes.

But I usually get the ‘Please wait 5 mins’ message and it doesn’t grab the post.

I got it to work once all by itself, I didn’t press the check now button, it just did it automatically and it got the post from the email but it scheduled it and didn’t post it.

The scheduling isn’t a good thing as the site has a bug apparently where scheduling is concerned and I can’t figure out how to fix it. Scheduling just doesn’t work on the site, it always misses the schedule.

Right now I have two emails sitting in the mailbox and it’s not working to post them.

When I press Check now sometimes I get the 404 error and sometimes I get the ‘Please wait’ message..

WordPress is the latest version, whichever that is now.. I always keep my sites up to date with that as soon as the update comes out

Post by email version is the one there for download, unless you changed it in the past two days as I just downloaded it two days ago..

It’s my own mail server, or one of my sites mail servers really through GoDaddy.. has pop3 and impap it’s pop.securesever.net for the pop3 email (I set it up through one of my own sites for testing purposes to try and get post by email up and running one way or another)

as far as SSL, I don’t think it’s an issue as it works without SSL just fine using Postie plugin

as far as upgrading to PHP 5.3.. it’s a possibility but it’s not my site, it’s a friend of mine and I do the design and maintenance on it and anything else he needs like setting up post by email which I’m trying to do for him and all of the writers on the site..

I can see if he can get his host to upgrade him to PHP 5.3 though

Hello? Anything?

PHP Version 5.2.17

the url is: wp-admin/tools.php?page=post-by-email&check_mail=1

and it shows the site header, menu and then:

ERROR 404

The page you are looking for does not exist.

As far as SSL, no I didn’t change it.. it works fine in Postie without using SSL so i don’t think that’s an issue..

I should note that I can use Postie and it works with my email settings just fine, but that’s done manually as Cron is disabled on the server.. I was hoping I could use this plugin as a workaround for that..

Login and Registration.. i have captcha enabled everywhere

then it’s in loop.php

or it could also be a plugin that inserts ads into the site, like Post Foooter

it’s most likely in single.php (Single Post)

Appearance -> Editor -> single.php

if it is, the delete all of this:

<script type=”text/javascript”><!–
google_ad_client = “ca-pub-***********”;
/* RTT mainpage top */
google_ad_slot = “********”;
google_ad_width = 300;
google_ad_height = 250;
//–>
</script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js”&gt;
</script>

the asterisks would be numbers for you of course..

if it’s not there, then there could be many other options

umm.. I see Google Ads on your site below the posts..

glad i could help… it took me a long time to figure it out myself…
