Apologies for the BUMP! but I’ve been waiting two weeks and still no comment from Support.

Hi.

I just installed Adminer 1.2.1, and I’m getting the same Warnings and Fatal Error as the others have reported above. Here is my situation:

Adminer’s loader.php is at:
/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/adminer/inc/adminer/loader.php

Line 33 reads:
include_once ( $wp_siteurl . ‘/wp-load.php’ );

The file wp-load.php is at:
/public_html/wp/wp-load.php

Exactly what are you saying I should alter to make Adminer work?

Thanks for your assistance.

Hi Marcus.

Thanks for your reply.

I’ve been reading everything I could find on this forum with the keywords “[Plugin: Events Manager]” and I’m pleased to discover that you are prompt and helpful, so that puts my mind at ease about whether or not I’ll get my money’s worth.

I’m going to be on the road for the next fortnight and not able to do much in the way of further development of my site during that time, but on my return I will purchase the Pro version, as I am now very hopeful that Events Manager will do what I need.

One quick question before I go: where does one edit the layout and specify which fields will be included when using [event_form] on a page?

Thanks for your assistance.

Ah-ha! OK, so I needed to edit the Location entry in the database, not a field in the Event itself. That makes sense when you think about it. Done and fixed!

I don’t really want postcode validation. I’m happy to let the Event Promoter take responsibility for getting it right.

Thanks Marcus.

Hi Raskull, thanks very much for that, and for your timely response.

I now have the added fields appearing under an “Attributes” sub-heading at the bottom of the “Edit Event” page. Now to figure out how to get them to appear on the “front end”! Where is the best reference material for this plug-in, and is there a forum anywhere DEDICATED to Events Manager? I often find this www.remarpro.com support forum is so big that many questions get overlooked.

I have no problems with buying the Pro version just to get the developer’s support, but I want to be sure this is the product I need before I fork out $75.

As one of my additional custom fields is “Web Link”, do you know if there’s a way to make that a clickable hotlink?

And, as an aside, what is the standard field “Region” for? By trying a few different countries, the Region drop-down only seems to get populated for the United States. I don’t think I need it. Can it be removed from the “Edit Event” form?

Thanks again for your help.

Hi btdenyer.

I had never modified functions.php on my blog, so that wouldn’t have been my problem.

I think Bill Hely is right about it being a rendering thing for most people. It just looks like the editing page is not rendering properly.

Anyway, whatever the cause, it still works fine in Chrome.

THANK YOU!
As you suggested I installed Google Chrome and the Add Media thingy works. Looks like I have a new favorite browser.

I had previously tried that and only ended up with a blank page, so I figured there must be more to it.

However, when I got your confirmation that that was the correct procedure I tried again. This time success!

Don’t know what went wrong the first time but all is well now.

Thank you.

Anyone ????

THANK YOU BILL!

I suspected what the problem was but your explanation made things much clearer, and your suggestion to use WP Mail SMTP works perfectly. My form is now operational again.

Why on earth couldn’t that information have been included in the Contact Form 7 documentation? And why would the author just keep telling people to contact their mail server administrator? All the administrator can reply with is to use SMTP authentication, and in all fairness how to do that is not his responsibility, it is the responsibility of the software developer.

I also do not like to support products that are poorly supported, so I hope you come up with a good alternative contact form. I’ll be keeping an eye on your blog in the hope that you find something.

Thanks again.
Rosie

Then do your users the courtesy of providing useful responses to their queries. One line throwaways like “contact your server administrator” don’t help anyone.

Here is the question you need to answer:

Are you claiming that “Contact Form 7” will work just fine with a mail server that requires SMTP authentication?

If you can’t give that assurance then “Contact Form 7” is going to fail for more and more people as time passes.

By the way, I just noticed on his contactform7.com website that Takayuki Miyoshi is very selective about which questions he answers and which ones he ignores.

Whereas he responds to a number of miscellaneous questions, he completely ignores any questions relating to mail send failure. For example one poster wrote:

My service provider requires that we use SMTP Authentication to send emails. I’ve attempted to set up SMTP Authentication using WP-Mail-SMTP, but now all the messages I’m sending receive a send failure. Is there a way to set up Contact Form 7 using SMTP Authentication?

Which pretty much summarizes what those of us with this problem are facing. But although that request was posted in December 2009 there has been NO RESPONSE.

What a great way to encourage the financial contributions he requests.

Takayuki Miyoshi, it’s very obvious that you understand as much about SUPPORT as I understand about brain surgery. And I don’t know anything about brain surgery.

Parroting the same line over and over is not making you any friends amongst all the people (and there have been quite a few) encountering the same problem.

I strongly suggest that anyone looking for a WordPress contact form plug-in should look elsewhere. Free or not, it’s always handy to know that even a modicum of useful advice will be available if you need help.

The part where I said…

The FAQ says to contact my mail server administrator, but as the e-mail address is clearly working, what would I be contacting them about? It occurred to me that this might have something to do with SMTP validation, as most SMTP servers these days require validation. But as far as I can see “Contact Form 7” has no provision for entering account credentials for SMTP validation.

…was a clear opening to provide some useful suggestions, but all that came back was the same useless buck-passing.

I’m off to search for a Contact Form Plug-In that has a helpful author standing behind it. When I find it I’ll recommend it on my blog and warn my readers to stay clear of Contact Form 7.

CoderJosh, our posts crossed – I’m going to check that link now.

I found a post on a site that says it’s only necessary to go into Settings –> General and change:
WordPress address (URL)
Site address (URL)

Change each from https://domainname.com/blog to https://domainname.com/home

Is that really all there is to it?

I should imagine it would also be wise (after making the change) to create another /blog folder and have a HTML redirect to /home.

Comments?

TIA
