This is a warning that did not affect normal script processing. It was present in version 2.75, but it has been corrected in version 2.80.

I’ve gone ahead and just created my own comment type, “ctrackback.” Most of the WP functions can handle it just fine. It takes special coding to display in the theme, but it’s still easy.

Thanks. I’ll try the “Add” form and see what happens. I wasn’t sure how automated that form is and didn’t want to risk auto-adding another plugin.

IIS is Microsoft’s web server (Internet Information Server). It may or may not be running on your PC.

If you are having problems with xampplite, it may be because IIS and xampplite are both fighting for port 80 on your computer. Port 80 is the typical port used by web servers.

It’s easy to troubleshoot this:

1) Goto Start, Run, and type in “services.msc” and hit enter.
2) The services manager will appear.
3) Locate “IIS Admin”, right-click on it, and click “Stop”.
4) Restart xampplite

If xampplite works, then make sure you go back to service manager and disable IIS (unless you need it for some other application). Otherwise IIS will start the next time you reboot your machine and you’ll have the same problem again.

I have tried adding a blank screenshot and blank and blank FAQ section, just to see if additional information would force this to work. The Installation tab is still not appearing on the plugin page. The readme file is valid.

I ran into the same CGI problem. I’ve been running multiple versions and instances of WordPress with the same host for two years without issue, but the install failed for 2.3.3.

I updated wp-db.php with the code above and it worked.

Thanks, jwurster.

One idea for a tech support blog: Write an original “How To” article. Provide an excerpt of the article in your post, and then put the rest behind a [paybutton].

You could also use this as a way to charge for tech support. Instead of subscribing to the blog, your users would actually be purchasing tech support and providing their contact information through WP.

The Tracer service is now free for personal use. This service is brand new and we are still fine-tuning our offerings.

Tracer is a simple image that can be inserted into any HTML document. It’s designed for tracking individual content items, whereas Google Analytics and most other solutions are designed to monitor websites. It’s a simple solution when you just need a quick count for specific content.

I could be wrong on this, but I don’t believe Google Analytics will be triggered through your web feeds. Tracer does not rely on javascript like Google Analytics, which means that it can track feed views in addition to blog views.

It’s difficult for a small business to compete against behemoths like Google and Microsoft. There are expenses associated with storing your data and bandwidth charges. I hope to differentiate my products through personalized service, responsiveness, and trust. If you ever visit your local hardware store instead of going to Home Depot, then you know what I mean. Support the little guy and you’ll often get more than your money’s worth.

Version 1.5 is now available:

– Custom stylesheet support (sample included).
– Custom text and multilingual support (sample included).

Feedlinx is the service that manages the email subscriptions. It tracks the “emailed” status individually for each post and each subscriber.

The subscription is controlled by the subscriber. It is automatically setup for Auto-Poll (every 15 minutes). If the subscriber sets up a schedule, they can control the delivery day and times. They can choose to combine the posts into a single email.

If you are constantly editing posts, then this might not be a good option for you. Feedlinx doesn’t check for post content changes. Most likely, the first draft would be the only one to go out. Feedlinx tracks post title and date changes — so these changes would trigger a separate update email.

Feedlinx has a management feature for publishers who want to manage their maillist. It is currently “inactive” because there were some people who didn’t want to share their email addresses with the publishers. I’m developing an opt-out mechanism for subscribers who don’t want to share their email addresses with blog publishers. Then I’ll rollout the maillist features again.
