• I just installed WordPress today and I keep getting the following error message whenever I try ti change or add to my blog:
    “Sorry, you need to enable sending referrers, for this feature to work.”
    I’ve read the forum threads and how it’s talking about disabling firewalls or browser options. What can I do? Is it a problem with the server? Is there something on my hosting server I need to enable? I am throughly confused.

  • oh dear… anyone could give me a hand on this issue? it’s been a week plus and still failed to obtain any solution ??

    I’m having the same problem. In firefox or in Omniweb, doesn’t matter how things are set as far as the above mentioned setting is concerned. 1.2 alpha had been working fine…

    If you are using Norton Personal Firewall 2003-2004 here is the answer as found on the Norton website.
    Some Web pages require referrer information before allowing you to view their page. If you want to allow referrer information to pass to a particular Web page, you must create a rule for it.
    To create a rule
    Open Norton Internet Security or Norton Personal Firewall.
    Do one of the following.
    In Norton Internet Security/Norton Personal Firewall 2003, click Options > Internet Security or Personal Firewall (This step is not always needed), and then click the Web Content tab.
    In Norton Internet Security/Norton Personal Firewall 2004, double-click Privacy Control, and then click Advanced.
    Click Add Site. A new site/domain box appears.
    Enter the name of the site that you want to receive the referrer information and click OK. In this example, it will be https://www.symantec.com. The site name appears in the left frame of the Options window.
    Click the name of the new site.
    Click the Global Settings tab.
    In the “Information about visited sites” section, clear “Use default settings.”
    Click Permit.
    Click OK to close the Options window.
