I wondered if someone could help with a comments issue. One of my commenters commented on a post, saying that after their initial comment they clicked the 'Notify me when new feedback are added' checkbox and now every time a comment is added they receive four emails with identical comments. Firstly, could you tell me how to unsubscribe that person from the notification service (or should I tell them they need to do it manually, as is it right the blogger cannot?) and is it possible to look into why, or have you any ideas, it was that the person received those multiple emails of the same comments? Hopefully it won't happen to them again, or anyone else as I do not want to put them off subscribing to the comments section, and as it was part of a competition as well, it meant they missed out on adding their answer to a comp in the comments. Still I realize these errors happen from time to time.

I am much need of your help.
I am part of a small company that is building an e-commerce website that facilitates buying and selling of digital content between users (Think e-bay or amazon). We have hit a snag.
We have a 2 tier membership system.
The first membership is FREE (i.e. no annual fee for this membership) but we collect 30% of the sale price from the seller if an item is sold.
The second membership must be bought for $x but we collect a smaller % from the seller if they sell an item.

We cannot find an application/plugin that allows this on WordPress, does anyone know of any applications or plugins that facilitate this sort of membership?
I have little to no tech terminology so please dumb down your answer for me if need be.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Typically this is caused by an open HTML tag in one of your posts.

Go to Settings > Writing and select “ ___ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and then scroll down and click “Save Changes.”

Posts > All Posts, change all your latest posts to Draft, click Update, change them back to Published, click Update again. (You can edit all of them at once: tick the square in front of their titles then select Edit from the Bulk Actions dropdown and click Apply.)

If that does not do it then have you copied and pasted into a text widget?

Outside themes may be usable (never tried that or seen anyone mention it ... though I bet timethief will know) or maybe not.

Select a free theme and just try it out. You can switch themes any time and your content will remain, just restyled by a different theme. Once you are comfortable with how things change with themes, you might be interested in one of the cool paid themes that people spend weeks designing.

I've recently started with WordPress (It's still just a standard template at the moment) and am having trouble understanding what I need to do to actually have a site. I'm confused about domains mostly, I registered one with WP itself, but when looking for themes to use, such as through ithemes.com, they were talking about registering with places like godaddy and stuff about having a Linux server. It's all terribly confusing. I was looking for something simple to tell people about my travel business. I realise there's a learning curve with the system, but this is very complicated.

I thought with wordpress that I can just buy a theme and update the site as I need, without having to spend more money on hosting and all those other things. More simply, do I need anything else for people to see my site?
