I guess I don’t have a problem with a developer trying to make a living off of a free plugin that otherwise works. Developers ought to be rewarded for their time, too. If it were a paid plugin, that would be different.

I posted on an issue I was having with this particular plugin elsewhere; I’ve not received a response, though I hope I either figure it out or someone has a suggestion to that problem.

My question is this: is it possible to set up the password protected pages to have multiple passwords (i.e. a different password for each user to access the pages) instead of one password for multiple users to access the pages?

I see this question being asked all over these support forums and so it isn’t just me wanting a chunk of pages password protected and available to “subscribers” with their own unique password. Any thoughts?

I have since resolved this issue. Please do not use the contact form in question to contact me, since that is my client’s site and it goes to their email.

The problem, in this case, was that the email wasn’t resolving. It was a new email account that wasn’t forwarded to anyone yet. Once I tested the form on emails of my own that I knew worked, the form functioned properly. I merely switched the email address as the recipient of the form to one that was currently in use, and the problem was taken care of.

My blogger blogs were all FTP to a host, so I had to convert them into a blogspot blog in order to import into WordPress. I didn’t have difficulty doing this on blogger’s end, so that was easy enough. I was having a lot of problems importing from my new temp blogspot blog into wordpress, however, (about 1200 posts) and I have tried nearly everything suggested by people, including:

• import into a wordpress.com blog first before importing it into my hosted wordpress blog
• various changes to code (including schmidt00’s suggestion above)
• switched hosts (not sorry I did that, but it made one problem go away and still left me unable to export my blogspot blog into any wordpress system with success
• a bunch of other stuff (check my support posts on this forum to see)

Anyway, what I realized was the problem was this (at least so far): when I was importing blogger posts into my blogspot blog, I wasn’t telling them to be published. I didn’t see the need; they were still there in the blogspot blog, labeled as “imported”. I also had a lot of draft posts that were never published that imported as well, and were labeled “imported draft.” I was then doing an import into wordpress and finding that it would only take a handful of those posts. So I did the things I listed above, but to no avail. I then noticed it was only importing the “imported drafts” and I got to thinking maybe I needed to publish all the posts.

I published the first 100, with them now sitting in my blogspot account like a “normal” post without the imported tag. I then imported into wordpress and the published posts went in just fine, as did the imported drafts. The unpublished posts still labeled “imported” over at blogspot, however, would not import.

It never occurred to me that I would have to be importing published blogspot posts, that merely imported but unpublished posts would not do, but it seems that is the case. I am also able to import directly into the wordpress hosted account, and not go through the hassle of a wordpress.com temp account first.

I’m still in the midst of the import, but this seems to be the case. So far. I hope.

I did send a support request to my host — Readyhosting.com — regarding my thoughts that the trouble was at their end. They responded to my first request by saying that once WordPress is installed, they offer no support. I have a feeling they wont’ do anything. If that is, indeed the case, I will either have to find a new host or find someone that will tell me how to do whatever it is I have to do through the control panels I have to make it work.

We’ll see what they say. I’m not too impressed with them at this point; I’ve been with them for a decade and it’s been hit and miss.

Using Notepad++ I am looking at the wordpress.php file, and at line 73 which seems to be the line in question. It says this for lines 67 through 74:

function has_gzip() {
return is_callable(‘gzopen’);
}

function fopen($filename, $mode=’r’) {
if ( $this->has_gzip() )
return gzopen($filename, $mode);
return fopen($filename, $mode);

That’s correct, isn’t it?

Yes, they are all 777 (which I will have to change again after the hoped-for successful import, I know, due to security issues.) A friend recommended using FileZilla for the recursive CHMOD feature. It didn’t help; I still got the same error as I mentioned above.

The permissions, by the way, have been changed to 777 and it still resulted in the same error. My settings are the same as my friend as far as what happens with an upload, and I’m using his wordpress.php file but all to no avail.

I’m using the following dashboard for importing:

https://mysite.com/wp/wp-admin/import.php

Not sure about how to get to the GUI (or what that is) dashboard?

My friend can import my exported WordPress.com file with no problem in both 2.7 and 2.8 to his own server. The same file goes in the same place in his server as well. I’ve “borrowed” his wordpress.php file in case something was wrong with mine and still no luck.

I can import the RSS feed but, of course, I lose all of my comments. Not a great solution.

Any attempt at WordPress or MT import…I get a similar error message as above.

Anyone out there? I’ve been trying to figure this out for many days; I’ve read forum post after forum post here, and elsewhere, and no luck.

I’m getting an error message as follows:

Warning: gzopen(\\XXXXX\home\users\web\bXXX\XXXXXXX\blog/wp-content/uploads/\\XXXXX\home\users\web\bXXX\XXXXXXX\blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/wordpress2009-01-23xml11.import) [function.gzopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in \\XXXXX\home\users\web\bXXX\XXXXXXX\blog\wp-admin\import\wordpress.php on line 73

I found that other people have had this error, but for them, it “just went away.” No such luck here. Could anyone tell me what to do? My host doesn’t offer support past WP installation, and I’ve not gotten any support via this forum… anyone?

What file/folder should the imported xml file be in? Should it be in the uploads folder or not? What do I need to do?

Could you point me to the directions you are following? I can’t help you, but I’ve tried everything, too, and maybe I’m reading the wrong directions. I can’t seem to get a response on this and have found similar questions on the forum without anyone answering…

where are those directions you mentioned?
