Your quote is from wordpress.com which is different than www.remarpro.com. The .com might be hosting a solution that includes functionality similar to ‘posterous’. The .org version, assuming you are hosting wp on your own server, does not necessarily include this functionality out of the box.

I don’t know that for a fact. I am having the same issue. I am hosting wp on my own server and cannot get this to work with anything other than plain text (no attachments) e-mail.

I am in the process of installing wp on localhost, so I can debug the wp-mail script perhaps.

Hi Raj,

I am having the exact same issue with WordPress 2.9.2 on a dreamhost server. How did you resolve this?

Anyone?

The following code snippet fixes this issue. It replaces everything between the Archives li and the Meta li in sidebar.php. The problem was twofold.

• The SQL select statement referenced the old schema. The old schema had a separate linkcategories table. The new schema has one categories table and a couple of association tables to join posts and links to a category. The new select statement performs the join between the categories and link2cat tables.
• The call to wp_get_links needed another argument in order to render an HTML li element for each link. Without this argument, the css renders the links as #sidebar ul li instead of #sidebar li ul li. Try saying that three times really fast.

<?php
 $link_cats = $wpdb->get_results("select distinct cat_id , cat_name from $wpdb->categories c, wp_link2cat l where c.cat_id = l.category_id");
 foreach ($link_cats as $link_cat) {
?>
  <li id="linkcat-<?php echo $link_cat->cat_id; ?>"><?php echo $link_cat->cat_name; ?>
   <ul>
    <?php wp_get_links($link_cat->cat_id .'&before=<li>'); ?>
   </ul>
  </li>
<?php } ?>

Happy blogging. Roger Weinheimer (72hills)
