craigbrown682 on "Jetpack eMail Subscribe"

craigbrown682 — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 10:58:53 +0000

WP-o-matic plugin went spastic and started spamming the 50 or so subcribers I have on my blog. Every time I re-enable Jetpack email subscriptions it "appears" to start sending queued messages out again.

Is there a way to inspect / delete any remaining emails that may be in this Jetpack email subscription queue?

Hurrah - this seems to be working now. Thank you :)

Just wondering how things are going with resolving this?
With reference to my last message 'Further clarification': under the 'Reader' tab 'Blogs I follow' still has no content, 'Recommended blogs' now comes up with the screen full of icons but they don't work and 'Posts I like' still says it's loading but doesn't and none of the 'Topics' show any content.
It would be really good to get the 'Blogs I follow' working as it's pretty time consuming following them now.

Are you able to upgrade to IE 9?

Also, please try disabling compatibility mode. Compatibility mode basically runs everything as IE 7, which we no longer support.

@rantingchef
(1) how are you connecting to the internet and to WordPress.com?
(2) exactly which browser and version of it are you using. If you don’t know click here to find out > http://whatsmyuseragent.com/

I have the exact same issue as noelinesmith (on my work computer only) but not at home.

It worked and nothing changed on my end, then it ididn't. Then it partially worked (as noelinesmith describes).

Further clarification:
'Blogs I follow' has no content, 'Find friends' works, 'Recommended blogs' has no content, 'Posts I like' says it's loading but doesn't and none of the 'Topics' show any content.
Although I haven't been advised as such I assume this is a WordPress isse and hope this clarification helps with your problem resolution.

Somethings happened! I haven't changed any settings since my last message but now most of the menu tabs work OK.
To be precise they all (New Post, Reader, Notifications, Stats, My Blog, Freshly Pressed) work but in the case of the Reader tab there is still a problem.
Picking this tab now opens Reader and the side menu (Find Friends, Recommended Blogs etc.) works OK but when I select 'Blogs I follow' there is no content.
Hopefully this is something being worked on by WordPress staff? Thanks.

Timethief, thank you for your help and flagging this up. The situation is this:
I'm logging in via the https:// secure log in to WordPress.com (http://wordpress.com/). This takes me to the 'home' page with the menu items 'New Post, Reader, Notifications, Stats, My Blog, Freshly Pressed' - Stats is the only menu button that works.
I've cleared my browser cache and cookies but I'm afraid I don't know how to disable all extensions or add-ons. However, I haven't changed anything in my computer and have had no problems to date.
My browser is the latest suitable version; ie8 for Windows XP.
Third party cookies and Java script are enabled and I'm running the latest version of Flash. I've also reset and rebooted my router, modem and computer.
I haven't tried another browser yet as I'm reluctanct to unnecessarily clog up my computer and get into 'browser wars'. (This would be a last resort for me.)
I'm using the same lap top with wireless connection to broadband. I've tried both my laptop and my husbands computer (plugged straight into our broadband conection) and both have the same problem. Prior to this, I have been able to access WordPress.com and all the menu items with no problems from both computers.
I suppose my theory is that as I haven't changed anything at my end something must have happened with WordPress. Maybe naive but I'm not a computer whiz!
I really do hope you (or Staff) are able to help and thank you for your assistance so far.

If you have AdBlock running please try disabling it.

If you are not using the https:// secure log in please try using it.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

Please clearly state whether or not you are logging in on the wordprress.com home page or you are logging in directly to your own blog.

These are the troubleshooting steps we take whenever any issues like this arise:
clearing your browser cache and cookies > http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050
using the browser with all extensions or add-ons disabled
updating the browser to the latest stable version (not a buggy BETA browser version) http://browsehappy.com/
confirming third party cookies is enabled http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=61416
confirming JavaScript is enabled http://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=12654
confirming Flash is updated http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and if required installing the latest version of Flash http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
resetting your router and modem and rebooting your computer
then logging in using the secure https:// log-in see http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/
trying another browser

If those do not work for you then we need to know
(1) how you are connecting to the internet and to WordPress.com. The way you connect to the internet (mobile, satellite, DSL, dial-up) and to your blog, and how many proxy server jumps etc. it takes to connect can cause problems. There maybe be problems with your ISP and/or with the proxy servers. Also note that the main dashboard isn’t designed to work with touch devices through the tablet and smartphone browsers.

(2) exactly which browser and version of it are you using. If you don’t know click here to find out > http://whatsmyuseragent.com/

The more information you provide to Staff the more they have to work with. I have flagged this thread for Staff attention.

I am having the same problem with the reader, as of the last 2 days. I thought it was my computer so I tried on a different one and the same thing happened. Before that there were a few problems like not being able to re-blog someone else's post and not being able to follow another blog. I am wondering if it is wordpress itself that is having a technical problem. It's sooo frustrating!

noelinesmith on "Can't access Reader, messages etc."

noelinesmith — Sat, 23 Jun 2012 08:01:17 +0000

Glad to hear it's not just me - but sorry other people are having problems.
OK - so what is Foxfire? How do I get it? How do I download through it? Does it replace Google?
Is this the only way to fix the problem? I haven't had a problem until a couple of days ago so who changed what?!
I'd really appreciate some help here as I'm unable to communicate with people I support and those who support me.

I'm having the exact same issue. Tried installing "google chrome" and I still can't get to the "reader." I wait to hear your suggestions for noelinesmith.

noelinesmith — Fri, 22 Jun 2012 12:30:05 +0000

Thanks for responding!
I'm not a computer whizz (but a reasonable learner!) so you've got me there :(
How do I try a different browser? I usually enter wordpress.com into the address bar then log in when I get to the WP home page. I run Windows XP and use Google as my search engine.
Maybe this helps work out my problem?: If I use the Stats menu button and then go into my blog from there I can then access my messages/notifications. Unfortunatley I still can't get Reader.
Sorry for being a bit of a dunce but thank you for your help.

Do you also encounter this issue in a different browser? for example Firefox or Google Chrome?

I posted this problem earlier and REALLY need some help please. This title describes the problem better so please accept my apologies for a double query entry - I couldn't just change the title on the other message.

When I log in and automatically go to my account page (is that what it's called?) the page appears to load but my computer tells me "Done but with errors on page" and none of the menu buttons function. I cannot access New Post, Reader, Notifications, My Blog, Freshly Pressed or messages - Stats is the only menu button that works. I've tried restarting everything and deleting cookies but still no good. Is this a WordPress issue or me?!
Please help because I can see I've got message/s but can't read them and know some of the blogs I follow have posted but can't access them ...... This problem started yesterday.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

P.S. I really like your blog. I've read several of your articles now and it looks like a very useful resource for newbie bloggers like me. Next time I have questions I’ll check out your blog to see if you’ve answered them there previously. Thanks again.

What do you mean by "messages"? Do you mean comments from your readers? You, As the admin of your blog, can insert images into comments, so let your readers post links to their pictures wherever they are hosted online, then you could edit their comments to insert the image/images yourself. See here > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/05/23/html-allowed-in-comments-2/

WordPress.com allows you and your readers to embed YouTube videos, tweets from Twitter, and PollDaddy polls directly into blog comments by simply adding a single URL into the comment text. Of course, if a reader embeds an inappropriate video, tweet or poll on your blog, you are free to remove the link or delete the entire comment, just as you are with other comments. http://en.support.wordpress.com/comments/embeds/

Hello, Is it possible to insert images into messages (thought's / replies)? If so, how do you do it?

thesacredpath on "Random text"

thesacredpath — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 06:28:14 +0000

I'm afraid not at wordpress.COM. It would require some sort of scripting (javascript, PHP, etc.) and script is not allowed here due to security concerns.

risingtide7 on "Random text"

risingtide7 — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 04:22:11 +0000

I'm running a blog with a separate page for "endorsements" or "support statements" and I would like to be able to display a random support statement on the home page (i.e. each time you load the front page, a new support statement shows up as a widget, sidebar, or as part of the main text). If this is possible within WordPress restrictions, I realise I might have to manually copy each quote into a separate script.

Does anybody know if this is possible? Or do I need to turn the text into images and then make them a gallery on the front page? Is there a widget that can do this?

If you want to see what I mean, the text I want to put in the homepage is here: http://risingtide7.wordpress.com/endorsements/ and the homepage is at http://risingtide7.wordpress.com/

thesacredpath — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 16:01:35 +0000

When creating and uploading an image to wordpress.com here are some basics worth remembering:
(1) Be sure your image is one of these file types - jpg, jpeg, png, gif (Note that bmp's cannot be uploaded due to size).
(2) Do not use anything in the file name except letters and numbers. Use no spaces, no dashes, no underscores, or any type of special character or punctuation, except for the dot between the file name and the extension. Also make sure that the file name has an extension.
(3) If you are using iPhoto, then use the "export" function under the file menu to export the image to your desktop before trying to upload it to WordPress.
(4) If you are not using the image in thumbnail size, make sure that the image is not too wide for the post area in your particular theme. You can find maximum image widths for the most popular themes here: http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/09/25/how-big-can-my-images-be/
(5) Optimize your images so that your blog pages will load faster. See http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/08/optimise-your-images/
(6) How to upload pictures in posts: http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/07/16/how-do-i-upload-pictures/
(7) How do I get text to go around a picture: http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/29/how-do-i-get-text-to-go-around-a-picture/
