Here is the answer of the theme author:

We have sold more than 10,000 copies of themes that use TimThumb and fewer than 0.05% of customers have had a problem with TimThumb and server permissions. That is a fact.

The issue is not with the Unite theme. Do you really think that we could sell more than 10,000 copies of themes that didn’t work?

Honesty, I can’t tell you anything more about the issue than you can find in this forum by searching for “timthumb 400 bad request”.

I’m sorry to keep saying that, but it is the truth. Every single bit of knowledge that I have about this issue has already been posted in this forum at least once and you can find them all by searching this forum for “timthumb 400 bad request”.

I can’t help any further with this issue.

If you want to talk shop I will ask @andy to take over from me in this forum because just typing the word TimThumb raises my blood pressure to dangerous levels.

It’s not a theme issue. Parallelus Unite works just fine. It’s a TimThumb issue.

I’ve made 2 fresh WordPress 3.6 installs with the latest version of Parallelus Unite. Same file owner. Same file permissions. They are identical:

> https://www.zagit.com.au

> https://www.bestcarrental.com.au/blog/

The first one works perfectly fine. The second one doesn’t work.

The only difference is the wordpress URL structure. The first one is limited to the domain name. The second one has /blog/ after the domain name.

Is there a reason why TimThumb doesn’t work in this particular case?

Thanks Jan.

I’ve posted a post over there as well: https://para.llel.us/support/groups/unite-wordpress/forum/topic/timthumb-image-resizing-is-not-working-unite-v2-2-1/?#post-44985

I’ll keep on searching…

Alright, it’s all good, i found the answer to my issue here:

https://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/headspace2/faq/

I have updated my header.php with as below:

<title><?php wp_title(”); ?></title>

Then disable the force rewrite. And everything worked fine!

Thank you for the great plugin!

Cheers,
Zag.

My config:
– Theme Unite v2.0.2
– HeadSpace2 v3.6.41

I need to enable Force Title Rewrite to make the plugin work:
– it work fine when i set up the title and description at the page level (even when using shorname like %%title%%)
– but it stops working as soon as i enable a generic setting in the Page Settings screen: if i do so let say for Pages, all the pages will have the same title (a random one out of all the existing pages).

It seems like it’s an issue with generic settings force rewrite cache.

I have the same problem but not only on mobile browsers. It’s everywhere.

For some reasons, all the posts have the same title. I don’t even understand the logic of picking this particular title (one of the posts). I can’t override the title by updating it in the post directly.

Here are examples:

https://www.anitawhelan.com.au/yoga-therapy/
https://www.anitawhelan.com.au/sundays-learn-breathe-workshop/

They have all the same title as this post:

https://www.anitawhelan.com.au/massage-part-1/

Why?!?

What’s wrong?!

My bad. And my apologies.

The issue wasn’t from the newsletter plugin. But SMTP plugin, which was obviously not compatible with the latest version of WordPress. As no email could be sent, the newsletter distribution couldn’t kick in.

It would be a great feature to see the logs of email distribution. Having the counter is a good start. But watching the logs from the admin console would save a lot of time when there are some config issues.

Sorry again.
Zag.

Something that work would be a good start!

I don’t know anything about PHP but I’m a 10+ years Java developer and this newsletter plugin drives me nuts. Why is it so hard to loop on a freakin list of email addresses and send an email to them??

I have 200 subscribers to my newsletter. Every time i create a new one, i have at least 10% of them who don’t receive it. And they are always different recipients. It’s so random. It’s not a spam or any reception issue. It’s just this bloody plugin that doesn’t send it to them…

The user guides says:

Newsletter relies on WordPress cron service to automatically send emails respecting the emails per hour value you set on main configuration panel.

That WordPress service works only if your blog has traffic, if not it usually works bad.

Well, if you know that the WordPress service works bad, why the hell are you using it??? Is it so hard in PHP to count from 1 to 300 seconds?!

If someone out there is clever enough to do a simple newsletter plugin that works, please raise your hand!
