I was having the very same problem, but only recently. Turns out that the new Dreamhost spam policy was the problem. Since it’s technically “spoofing” the user’s address to send email, Dreamhost no longer allows it.

I fixed the problem by using an email address on the hosting server (i.e. [email protected]) in the From field. I then added “Reply-To: [your-name] <[your-email]>” in the Additional Headers field, so that when I reply to an email, it goes to the person who sent it (not [email protected]).

Bump this topic. It was opened 5 months ago, and still there is no resolution. What purpose does a support area serve if your users get no support?

The Campaign Monitor Addon only collects first names for the Full Name field even though it is filling the First Name and Last Name fields correctly. I need a solution to this problem.

Joshua (or someone who can help us), please respond. Thank you.

This is also the case for me. I can’t get two fields to pass to Campaign Monitor for the Subscriber Full Name. Even using bgt9752’s suggestion above, only the first field will go through.

I’m having the same problem when JetPack is enabled. Is there no way to use both?…I need some of the functionality of JetPack.

Thank you, seanjacob!…I’ll give it a shot later today! ??

Been trying to figure this out: Is there a way to use this code, creating a character limit, without truncating the last word? (I would still want the read more ellipses.)

Any help would be appreciated!

Now I am trying to find out how to add a fade effect on the slider.

It looks like the transition is already a fade (albeit a quick one)…Are you sure there’s not a number somewhere to just easily modify in the existing js?

Brilliant, Johan and archondigital!…Your last 2 posts worked like a charm!! Thank you!!

I have a child theme created and would like to know how to create the auto-slide as well. I can’t find any documentation about it.

I GOT IT! ??

I found this piece of code to use instead to call my 7 recent post titles:

<div id="recent">

				<img src="https://adamoverett.com/IMAGES/recent.jpg" alt="recent highlights" /> 

				<ul>
				<?php
				    $recentPosts = new WP_Query();
				    $recentPosts->query('showposts=7');
				?>
				<?php while ($recentPosts->have_posts()) : $recentPosts->the_post(); ?>
				    <li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
				<?php endwhile; ?>
				</ul>
			</div>

		        <!--/recent -->

It seems to be working correctly now! Thanks, esmi, for putting me on the right track! I really appreciate it!! ??

Ahhh…Thanks, esmi! I still haven’t figured it out, but let me see if I understand…

On the theme that I modified, there’s the main loop in the index.php that calls the blog posts, and in the footer.php is a list that calls the 5 most recent post titles. I moved that recent post code into the header.php section and have it calling the 7 most recent post titles. But now since that appears first on the page, the second loop in the index.php is calling those exact same 7 posts…Is that correct?

I’m still trying to figure it out from the article you mention, but am I able to have the 7 most recent posts list appear before the main post loop?

Here’s the code in the header.php for the recent post titles:

<div id="recent">
				<img src="https://adamoverett.com/IMAGES/recent.jpg" alt="recent highlights" /> <?php query_posts('showposts=7'); ?>
				<ul class="recent-posts">
					<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
					<li><a title="<?php _e('Permanent link to'); ?> <?php the_title(); ?>" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
					<?php endwhile;?>
				</ul>
			</div>
			<!--/recent -->

And here’s the code from the main loop in the index.php:

<?php get_header(); ?>

		<div id="wp">
			<div id="content">
				<?php if (have_posts()) : ?><?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
				<div class="post">
					<div class="post-date">
						<span class="post-month"><?php the_time('M') ?></span><span class="post-day"><?php the_time('j') ?></span></div>
					<div class="post-title">
						<h2><a title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
						<span class="post-cat">Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?></span></div>
					<div class="entry">
						<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?></div>
				</div>
				<?php endwhile; ?>
				<div class="navigation">
					<span class="previous-entries"><?php next_posts_link('Older Entries') ?></span><span class="next-entries"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries') ?></span></div>
				<?php else : ?>
				<h2>Not Found</h2>
				<p>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
				<?php endif; ?></div>
			<!--/content -->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

</div>
<!--/wp -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

If you have any idea how to tweak the code in the index.php section to not call the same 7 posts, would you let me know?

Thanks so much! ??

UPDATE: Okay! I have it isolated to the bit of code I’m using to call the most recent posts:

<div id="recent">
				<img src="https://adamoverett.com/IMAGES/recent.jpg" alt="recent highlights" /> <?php query_posts('showposts=7'); ?>
				<ul class="recent-posts">
					<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
					<li><a title="<?php _e('Permanent link to'); ?> <?php the_title(); ?>" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
					<?php endwhile;?>
				</ul>
			</div>
			<!--/recent -->

When I take that code out, the page works as it’s supposed to. So what’s wrong with the code? I’m trying to show the titles of the 7 most recent posts.

UPDATE: After doing more research on WP, I have made the DOCTYPE XHTML 1.0 Transitional (as well as the rest of the code), and now the page passes the validator with no errors and no warnings.

Still, even though the page title changes to whichever permalink is clicked, the content on the page does not change. And the search field returns the same 7 posts every time. Also…if you click “Older Entries” or “Newer Entries”…same 7 posts.

AAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHH!…HELP!
