Subject: problems with WordPress 2.7

There seems to be a problem with the administrative menu under the new WordPress 2.7 -- list addresses works for the first page, but clicking --> shows nothing found. Similarly, any search for an address shows nothing found.

HELP!

@bobby: Hab deinen Beitrag mal gelöscht, da du ja einen eigenen Thread zu dem Thema aufgemacht hast.
@mikelyon: Looks like I'll have to install 2.7. My personal blug still runs 2.3.3. :-)

I'll see what I can do.

Thanks, Morty -- another problem with 2.7 and Post Notification:

Subscribe and Unsubscribe seem no longer to work...

Some users report that they are unable to unsubscribe (list is currently 1,943 emails) -- I am able to use "Manage Addresses" to manually remove those.

It appears to be impossible for new subscribers to sign-up and I am unable to use "Manage Addresses" to add new subscribers.

This seems to be URGENT.

Subject: update to problems with WordPress 2.7

Morty, I've attempted to sign up my own email address unsuccessfully using Post Notification -- I received the email with confirmation link:

http://ska.org/news/post_notification_head…?code=543cf6f…

when I click the link, the confirmation page in the wordpress site appears, but the email address listed in the page's subscribe box omits the '@' in the email address (mikelyonmlyon.com). I don't know whether this is a good 'clue' or not, but thought to report it to you in case it helps...

Thanks so much for your prompt attention!

Mike

Ok, should be fixed 1.2.27 should show up soon. When updating remember that templates are deleted. This is one of the next things to be fixed. Alternatively you can just update the attached file.

Dear Morty,

I saved your new frontend.php to

(wp root)/wp-content/plugins/post-notification/frontend.php

and uploaded it to the site -- it does NOT appear to solve any of the problems...

List addresses (first page displays OK) then clicking -->> returns: No entries found! and subsequent <<-- and -->> display same error

There are 1943 emails in the list

Using page with @@post_notification_body (page hasn't been changed since first installed prior to wp 2.7) to subscribe a new email does send email with link like this:

We have received a request that mikelyon@mlyon.com be notified of new posts on Shotokan on-line News

To confirm your subscription, please visit

http://ska.org/news/post_notification_head…?code=543cf6f…

If you didn't subscribe to be notified about postings to the blog, please ignore this e-mail.

clicking the link brings up post notification page (@@post_notification_body) with email address displayed as mikelyonmlyon.com (missing the @) in the box. The email is NOT added to the list and mikelyon@mlyon.com is not in the list of 1943 emails according to 'Export addresses'.

Please have another look and let us know as soon as possible.

Mike

Oh, and please note that (our site) is .htaccess protected for members only, so you won't be able to 'get in' by clicking the live link above...

If you feel you need to review the site itself, please email me at mikelyon@mlyon.com and I'll set you up with a temporary username and password for test purposes...

Thanks,

Mike

I'll double check. But Mails being sent should have an "%40" instead of an @ in the link now now. I haven't looked into the the "-->" issue, but it should be possible to put the right values in the boxes above and press update.

I double checked. For me everything is working fine. Old links (from prior the patch) don't work, of course.

checked with IE7, FireFox 3, Safari -- all the same results... If email IS added, it doesn't show in export which is the only way I can check, as update -->> and <<-- do NOT work... Perhaps the provided file wasn't the 'new' one? I'm sure only that it's uploaded to the plugin and hasn't seemed to affect the various problems...

I can manually delete lists of emails using Manage, but can NOT add emails using manage -- Info shows the deletions (number in list declines), but doesn NOT show additions (number in list remains the same)...

I am unable to use List function to display any beyond first 50 which appear when the page first loads. Then I get the error reported above (nothing found!).

You are right. It wasn't the right one. Sorry. But version 1.2.27 from WP.org is ok.

BTW: Does changing the "start at" an pressing update work? And also changing sorting options? It might be some problem with your Database, too.

Subject: 1.2.27 download and Morty's question

functions.php you provided HAS WORKED (at least partially) and I am again able to use Manage to add and remove email addresses AND subscribe and unsubscribe now (again) work properly from @@post_notification_body -- THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

List addresses still does NOT work (but I have not installed 1.2.27 -- only functions.php)

For others wishing to update, 1.2.25 shows as current version at wordpress.org -- 1.2.27 is currently available in 'other versions' at this address: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/post-notification.1.…

BTW: Does changing the "start at" an pressing update work? And also changing sorting options? It might be some problem with your Database, too.

Changing the 'start at' and pressing update does NOT work -- neither does changing sorting options -- neither does entering a single valid email address to find.

PLEASE let me know if you believe I have a problem with my Database (2.7 upgrade did update the database and perhaps it didn't properly handle post-notification?)... In order to repair it, do you suggest the following (or WHAT do you suggest)??

1. Export list of emails and save temporarily along with my en_SKA template directory
2. record SETTINGS for next setup
3. Uninstall post-notification
4. deactivate post-notification plug-in
5. remove post-notification directory from plug-ins
6. re-install 1.2.27 post-notification plugin
7. activate plugin
8. restore my en_SKA templates directory
9. restore SETTINGS
10. use Manage to add the emails from save in step 1.

NOTE to other users -- the above 10 steps are my QUESTION to Morty and should NOT be considered as a fix for YOUR similar problem until Morty confirms or suggests another path to happiness etc.

Subject: admin_list_email.php

Morty -- problem seems to be in admin_list_email.php program -- No entries found! in any search of List addresses -- please check as I see that I am not the only one who's experiencing this problem.

A problem with your DB was a wild guess. Though it's probably a problem with the connection to your DB, or the php-Version installed. The problem is, that it works for me with 2.7. I'll try to make you a special version for debugging tomorrow.

In reply to post #13

Thanks so much, Morty! I look forward to trying the debugging version!

Clues:

PHP hasn't changed since before the upgrade to 2.7
admin_list_email.php correctly displays the first 50 emails in the list when it first comes up, but subsequent controls (next, update, start-at, etc) all return "No entries found!" -- makes me think the problem is related to DB changes during 2.7 upgrade...

SO appreciate your support!!!

Mike
