forgot to follow post for updates….doing now.

I had the same issue with the same photography guy-Scott Wyden Imagery (API). I originally allowed this figuring it had something to do with the issue I was having w/ SFBC (turns out it was NextGen 1.9.5). I eventually deleted the plugin and reinstalled it, deactivated Next Gen 1.9.5 and all worked ok. I hope I’ve deleted the photography guy’s access as well during this process.

I was running into the same issue. Thanks for the info on NextGen 1.9.5- I deactivated it and all SFB Connect tokens turned green and were active which allowed me to share post to FB. I had to turn it back on so the gallery would work on the site. Hopefully NextGen is aware of this and fixes the bug for next update so all work together.

I assume this would be in lieu of using Webmatrix!? I should then uninstall MySQL and Webmatrix correct?

eer3,

you said: This time, I used 127.0.0.1 for both the web address and the MySQL host and that made all the difference.

I’m no expert or intermidiate for that matter but I’m using Webmatrix and have W7. I can see where to change the localhost to 127.0.0.1 but unsure about MySQL. Can you lend support as to how where to change this.

Thank you

you indicate: Getting WordPress to run on a Windows 7 box is as simple as installing IIS 7.5 on your PC, do a web search for Microsoft WEB PI (Web Application Platform Installer) and automatically install WordPress for you… It is very simple and will create the MySQL database for you (if you are unfamiliar with MySQL) along with PHP all designed for your PC…

From there, accessing WordPress is as simple as typing in https://loclahost/ and presto, your are at your WordPress installation..

I disagree. I have W7 and webmatrix from windows but yet still not as simple as everyone says. was getting errors re: localhost password “yes” and now wp-php-config issues. Everyone seems to have their own idea of the best way to do this; maybe this is because they are into programming and coding but for the simpleminded individual that simply wants to use WP your (& WP’s & windows’) simple steps are not so simple. I expected that once I downloaded Webmatrix and followed their step-by-step instructions it would be seamless….appears to me it’s “seemless”.
