I figured it out. There is a conflict with WordPress Firewall 2. To connect to Mailchimp I deactivated it, then connected to Mailchimp, and then afterward reactivated it.

Thanks for your help!

This is the info:

MailChimp for WordPress
Adding sign-up methods for your MailChimp lists to your WordPress site should be easy. With this plugin, it is.
MailChimp for WordPress lets you create a highly customizable sign-up form which you can display wherever you want it to display using a simple shortcode, widget or template function. You can also add sign-up checkboxes to various forms on your site, like your … By Danny van Kooten.

It shows up in my plugins list as MailChimp for WordPress Lite.

I don’t get an error message, i only get directed to my home page when i click Save Chnages. Here is an api key I just created in my Mailchimp account today:
[API Key removed].

I can’t figure it out. Thanks for your help.

I even created a fresh api key, and still doesn’t work.

Thanks for this guys. I wanted to create a custom RSS feed with the shortlink instead of permalink, used <?php echo wp_get_shortlink(get_the_ID()); ?>, and it worked like a charm.

I am also having this issue of not being able to send email notifications, but here are more details:

I moved my blog bibleornot.org from Go Daddy to In Motion (and yes, the performance is much better).

Everything works fine, except new post notification emails do not work, and email to subscribers does not work.

I have the most recent version of WP.
I have updated WP-Mail-SMTP and Subscribe2 plugins to the most recent versions.
I have set and verified the SMTP settings in Settings > Email. Send test email works.
I have sent Send Email Preview in Subscribe2 and it works.

When I go to Posts > Email Subscribers and attempt to send a test message, this is what happens:
– Select Preview – message is sent and I receive it
– Select Send – get error message: Message failed! Check your settings and check with your hosting provider. Could not instantiate mail function.

When I publish a new post, no email notifications go out.

Does anyone know why all mail functions would work except mail to subscribers?

Thanks.

I have a similar issue. All of my email settings seem to be correct.

I have updated WP-Mail-SMTP and Subscribe2 plugins to the most recent versions.
I have set and verified the SMTP settings in Settings > Email. Send test email works.
I have sent Send Email Preview in Subscribe2 and it works.

When I go to Posts > Email Subscribers and attempt to send a test message, this is what happens:
– Select Preview – message is sent and I receive it
– Select Send – get error message: Message failed! Check your settings and check with your hosting provider. Could not instantiate mail function.
– None of my new post email alerts go out

Has anyone seen this error on mailing subscribers when everything else seems to work?

Thanks

OK, after a day this started working again. ?

These solutions are not working for me. I have WP 2.9.2 and have unchecked the Ask.com submission in XML Sitemap Generator for WordPress 3.1.6.3. The weird thing is this just started happening about 2 weeks ago, never a problem before. Below are the actual error messages. Any help would be appreciated.

The only solution I could find with standard link and widget management is to be creative with the naming of the links. The default is alphabetical listings. Sigh…

Thanks guys. It seems like the resounding consensus is get off of Windows. I guess I’ll wind up doing that at some point if i keep working with WP.

Good to hear from you Marios, i hope things are well. – Steve C.

Hey guys, i too am using a windows server since i have other sites that are .net. And i too am experiencing the /index.php/ path issue. Have you or anyone else found a work around? Thanks!
