Hi esmi,

Yeah, I found that site before commenting here. Unfortunately the reply button wasn’t working yesterday. Seems to be working now though. I have subscribed to that so will be keeping an eye on developments there.

In fact you are right, it is possible. But it isn’t easy. The tabbing order makes no sense you have to tab through the whole side menu and then the quick press form on the dashboard and then it reverts to the admin bar. I think the choice of colors doesn’t help. Going from dark grey to even darker grey means you don’t notice the admin bar has been highlighted. This is why I hadn’t noticed where the tabbing was taking me. If you’re on a page with lots of links you’re going to get confused. I don’t consider this to be easy on users with accessibility issues. Much easier to be able to activate the popup with a click. If you’re going to do this with tabbing surely the admin bar should be the first thing you tab to on the dashboard?

Anybody got any ideas on this?

Thanks.

Apologies, this is now working for me. But for some reason the mail took several hours to arrive.

I am having this same problem and it seems to be related to sending to an address in the WordPress system.

eg: if I set the send to email to be the WP admin email, I never get the email. If I set the send to email to be a different one (not associated to a WP User) I get the email.

Is there a way to enable sending to emails of WordPress Users?

Thanks.

OK, so a search and replace on the SQL dump of a WordPress database to change the site’s URL from https://www.devsite.com to https://www.site.com could be problematic if say there is a serialised object that contains https://www.devsite.com in it.

What would happen in WordPress if a serialised object is corrupt?

Thanks,
Robin

Hi Damian,

Thanks for the response.

I hadn’t thought about the local development scenario you mentioned, so I can at least understand now that there are more issues than might at first be apparent (at least to me!).

Can I ask you how this script you link to is any different to dumping the database to a textfile, doing a file based search and replace and loading the entire dumpfile back into the database? I am not sure I really understand the issue with the serialised arrays.

Robin

OK, solved this. Or at least, the problem appears to be with another plugin and the way it handles passwords. It’s a membership plugin and appears to still be using md5 for hashing the password. Disabling the plugin before import solves the problem.

Not sure if this is relevant, but it appears that the hashing algorithm used is different to a user created “normally”, for comparison:

standard user: $P$BWqNzfhDlY6vdg3vllhWjyPH1gkm6R.
imported user: 12c0e26e84468fd681839667de5ef598

Both use the same password.

Thanks indyjoe.

Ooops, I just read the rules of the forum. Apologies for the bump. Won’t happen again.

Bump.

I am just wondering the exact same thing. Is there a way of achieving this with wp_nav_menu?

Thanks.

Thanks for the response and for the further information on what tools are used.

Is it feasible to use WordPress as a basic CMS for developing small sites? Most CMS are far too complex for my needs and I am especially not interested in multiple access rights and roles and other things which tend to over-complicate systems. I just want to be able make websites using a stable, supported and flexible system. Whilst WordPress is obviously primarily a blogging tool it seems to suitable for making such websites as well. Or am I mistaken in this?

Thanks.
