something I came here to request too. Thanks

It was more the lack of mentioning WPDiscuz in the plugin description when clearly ONCE INSTALLED the plugin then tells you specifically WPDiscuz is not compatible without paying. Basically wasting time. Its also the way the plugin cannot be tested and is 100% unfunctional in its free state for what is probably more than 60% of WP users hitting at least one pro only plugin.

I put many hours a week into a website that gets 5000-14000 unique visitors a day, ad free, no income at all.. I pay expenses for cloudflare, hosting, and the many wordpress plugins required. I dont expect you to work at a loss just because I do. This plugin seems too risky on whether itll be easy to use or break the site frequently to put so much money up on it without testing. Even its a one time use or one month trial or something would make it easier to swallow.

root@domain:~# adduser myusername www-data
The user myusername' is already a member ofwww-data’.
root@domain:~# chown myusername:www-data -R /var/www
root@domain:~# chmod 0755 -R /var/www
root@domain:~# chmod g+s -R /var/www

This finally fixed my plaguing issue, thanks for your help along the way… it took quite a bit of googling and pointing.

0644. But I think this is an issue of the user I created and use to connect to FTP and also FTP through wordpress (when it asks for my info)… How do I edit the user so it can do these basic things in ubuntu?

My www directory is located at root/var/www/ and I think the way I set up my LAMP server where the www directory isnt in the home/username is screwing it up.

ugh the problem is now deeper than just wordpress, I just logged into FTP and went to add my FTP info to the config file to se eif that fixed it.. but I cannot over write the old wp-config file or even delete it, or change permission. wtf happened?!?! How did I even manually do this last time?

.htaccess file reads:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END W3TC Browser Cache

# END WordPress

As far as I know I never touched it or my config.php file.

I heard someone once say it had to do with users and permissions, but nothing more than that.

How exactly are you attempting to update core? Are you clicking the Update WP button from within the admin panel?

Yes, in my admin page I see

WordPress 3.7.1 is available! Please update now.

I am clicking update now, then the update button,
then it is asking for my FTP information. I have quadruple checked my FTP address/user/pass to be correct and match with what is working fine in FileZilla.

Then it says this:

Downloading update from https://www.ads-software.com/wordpress-3.7.1-no-content.zip…

Unpacking the update…

The package could not be installed.: PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature

Installation Failed

Is it not normal for wordpress to ask for this information to even do an update? On a side note, I am able to drag and drop photos into my posts which upload without issues.

Josh, thanks for the reply,
1. Not a proper WP structure format. I guess I don’t know what you mean by this.

When people put in their name and email it says:
“Your subscription was successfully activated. You will receive the next newsletter. Thank you.
“

However, they are not added to the email list. I have tested 3 by subscribing 3 times now with different emails and it never adds them to the mailing lists. I have tried setting it to send an activation link, which it does, but when the activation like is clicked it says “Error during operation.”

hmm, I was hoping I could get a full set of the code to put on other pages of my site which are not part of the wordpress blog.

Also, it does allow rotation on its own, but you have to name the ad spaces the same to make it happen. I think the WP CACHE kind of messes with it though.

im using a transparent .gif now, it doesn’t look very good with the text, is the particular gif im using that looks bad?
