Anyone figure out what the issue was? I’m getting the same problem under WP 2.5…

I’m having the exact same issue… I’ve tried the BCC thing, the SMTP thing and still, the only person being notified of a new post is me.

This was working perfectly until I upgraded to the latest version of WP and subsequently had to upgrade the plugin…

In the old plugin, I had to turn on the DREAMHOST setting, however that appears to be deprecated or replaced by the BCCLIMIT field, I’m not sure.

I’ve had a really big drop in readership since I realised the mails were no longer going out… Really frustrating.

thanks vkaryl!

theiconoclast31 i hear you, but it’s a bit too far in to do such a big redesign. however you are right, the main content shouldnt be so hidden. i might bring everything up on the right column and move the logo up too closer to the wave… thanks all, r

well, i use the static frontpage plugin, but i hacked a ‘home’ template which contains the most recent blog entry at the bottom. you are right though, there may be a better way to show there is new content on the site. i was wary of it being just a blog when you reach the frontpage of the site however… my mode of thinking was to include a short blurb on the frontpage to make it clear what it is about etc.

there is a credits page, or rather a sponsors page at /sponsors.

thanks spencerp ??

vkaryl – what do you mean by ‘add some real content’? i know it isn’t updated daily just yet (it will be) but what other content are you envisioning?

danke wairoanz!

ouch… harsh.

can’t win ’em all.

hey andrew,

i like the design – only issue i have is the colour of the font – it’s a bit hard for me to read, especially contrasted against the considerably brighter pink text underlining. otherwise, nice!

aussie aussie aussie!

hi guys – this isn’t a question just for chanzero, but out of curiosity (because i’m considering doing a big WP-based site) how do you guys go retaining a ‘pure WP’ installation, so future upgrades are still possible?

it seems to me, it would be very easy to get in there behind the hood and hack a big site, but the problem with that is, once you’ve done it, you can never really take advantage of future WP releases.

so i guess the question is: are people with sites like PCS keeping as far away from the WP engine as possible, or is that just not a viable option for big customised sites?

MUCH better. i knew there had to be a better way to do it .. thanks again.

$i_arr = 0;

if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
$contentID_int[$i_arr] = $postID=$post->ID;;
$contentTitle_str[$i_arr] = get_the_title();
$content_str[$i_arr] = get_the_content(“”,FALSE,””);
$i_arr = i_arr + 1;
endwhile; endif;

hmm, yes i know it was a messy hack.. but i need to get the content, id, content title into arrays, as i am building a ‘pure’ theme with all logic etc just in an includes file, with clean templates.

as far as i am aware, you need to use The Loop to get the content, but the bit you mentioned about an optional parameter which will return as opposed to echo .. i didnt know that. i will take a look. thanks, r

i figured it out (hacked) … but for future reference is anyone is searching for a similar solution:

$i_arr = 0;
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
ob_start();
the_ID();
$contentID_int[$i_arr] = ob_get_clean();
ob_start();
the_title();
$contentTitle_str[$i_arr] = ob_get_clean();
ob_start();
the_content();
$content_str[$i_arr] = ob_get_clean();
$i_arr = i_arr + 1;
endwhile; endif;

to better illustrate my problem, i need to do the following (this doesnt work, it just spits things out without assigning the arrays)

$i_arr = 0;
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
$contentID_int[$i_arr] = the_ID();
$contentTitle_str[$i_arr] = the_title();
$content_str[$i_arr] = the_content();
$i_arr = i_arr + 1;
endwhile; endif;

any ideas? r.

well, i mean as in themes which have just one file containing all the business logic, ie. variables pre-populated, which are then just {$tags} within the template. a bit like Smarty templates.
