Is it a local install e.g. on wamp or xampp ?

Can you set $debug = 2; in conf/_advanced.php, request the password email and post the output here?

Didn't do it there. I'm hosting on Fatcow so went to their site, logged into their Manage MySQL and did the steps in the link I posted above. Worked like a charm. Initial password is cabbage and then changed it back. Piece of cake.

But the email function is NOT working.

Is it working already?

I don't know what's going on with email anymore. Once I solved the problem on my own I didn't need to try again.

And I never did receive an email. Not spammed, junked or anything. Weird. Last month it DID work as I have the email from that time still.

That's why I was trying to investigate the problem ;)

I'm well aware; that's why I replied. ;)

Don't know if it's worth mentioning but I also don't get email alerts when I have new comments anymore. Related? Don't know but I'll find the appropriate string to post this in. Just noticed that, had about a dozen and no email. Night now.

Please do this

Hun, LOL, I don't even know what that is. Sorry. I really don't. 42 years old but php is NOT my specialty. I'm ashamed. Took a Unisom and fading fast. I'll check post tomorrow and see how I may assist further. Would like to help. Love b2evo.

What you should do is download the file /conf/_advanced.php from your server.
- Open the file in text editor and change $debug = 0; to $debug = 2;
- Upload the file to back to your server replacing the original one.
- Send any message from contact form, and post here what you get on the screen

Once you done this, change debug back to 0 $debug = 0; and upload the file to your server again.

Sam2kb, thank you for not forgetting me. I had a lot of catching up to do on LinkedIn so I didn't get to this. I'll send you a private message about this. I'm sure I'm missing something and I don't want to bore the group.

Hi Sam. Just tweeted you but see you don't tweet much so you probably didn't see. OK. Was busy with other site. Opening up Dreamweaver and getting this done now.

It's easier to find me on this forum ;)

Sam, just ran it but I don't know what to paste. There's a LOT of text and I don't know how much of it you need. Anything in particular??

Can you make a screenshoot and upload it somewhere?

Sam this is nuts. I am not even getting THESE responses now so I didn't even know you'd replied. Oh God! New issues I'm posting in another topic that just started after I ran the code.

I went to landing page http://cw-connect.com and when I go to the bottom of the page and click "2" or the little arrows to go to the next page, the INTRO section becomes the header of the previous blog. I am too through. I just tweeted one of the developers and hope he answers. I'm going to have to take down the site.

ANYWHO, I'll get the screenshot or a text doc up for you real quick. It's too long for one screen shot. 200+ lines of text.

Seems like the post "Why Don't We Comment On Blogs?" is featured so it's ok that you see it at the top of the second page.

Ahhhhhh! So that's what featured does! Like I said, there's very little documentation so if I do something and see no effect and can't find help, I forget all about it.

I'm jotting down the notes. Thanks for that part, Sam.

By the way, how did you know it's featured? Is there something I don't see that flags it on your end or did you just know?

1. It's not an "intro" because it shows date, categories and feedbacks.
2. It's sticked the to page top and shown on the second page.
3. It has a "featured" class in the source code :)

BTW the debug info you got was taken from contacts page, what I need is the info displayed [u]after[/u] you submit the form. If you set debug = 2, there should be a blank page and not that much text.

Sam, I can assure you that WAS after I sent myself a test message. The page flickered and I got that. *sigh* Ok, I'm going to do it again. And, by the way, I never did receive the email I sent myself.

And in regard to the feature tips you gave, appreciated. I just didn't realize that making a POST that is NOT an intro featured would cause it to bump the Intro-Main. But I guess that makes sense. Maybe I'll play around with that later and see if it would bump an Intro-sub. I know this is a digression but I've been looking for this sort of info for months now so good to discover useful information.

Ok, few seconds. Doing it again.

Ok, just replaced debug with the "2" and then this time there no text at all. Nothing. I just get the "Your message has been sent." Worked before. ??? I tried logging out and doing it; refreshed my cache. I'll try it in IE. Hang on.

I'm back. Ok, I ran the cron exec and got that debug info at the bottom again while in Firefox. Submitted an email, got a success message and the same text (270 lines) is still at the bottom. Same thing in IE.

update
I'm gonna get some sleep. Will check in when I wake.

I'll check the debug myself, please set it to 2 and let me know once it's ready.

I'll private message you. You can Skype me or something when you're ready. I can't leave my site up like that live.

I'm here

Cool! Let me set. Two seconds!

Have at it! And quick. I'm naked online.

Ok, I checked it. The debug is either set to 1 or something is wrong with your installation.

I can send you a screenshot, it's been working just fine all this time until recently. Ok. Listen, do you know when 4 is coming out? I would reinstall AGAIN but if I do, it's going to be a nightmare and then I'll have 4 to reinstall shortly thereafter. It's definitely set to 2. I'm looking right at it.

Any chance you can give me FTP access to your blog?
b2evo 4 will not solve server problems

PM'ing you - hope you're not a mean hacky person. ;-) But I'm desperate.

All done here ~ thank you so much Sam2kb for your help.
