WordPress Upgrade Issues
Welcome to My GPS Camera Phone! Make sure you don't miss out - subscribe to the RSS feed. After you've left six comments, nofollow tags are lifted, giving you some awesome some link love. Thanks for visiting!
After crossing my fingers, I’ve finally managed to upgrade WordPress to 2.3.1 from 2.2.2. It was scary, but everything seemed to go well. That is, until someone left a comment that kicked off a series of undeliverable e-mails.
Apparently, there’s this php mail thing that doesn’t allow WordPress to send mail with “nobody” as the sender. That means when a comment is left and people are subscribed to that post, the subscribers don’t get the comment e-mails. Why? No clue. It worked fine before the upgrade. I think I may have to go back a version on the plugin. Hopefully, this works.
Thanks to everyone for stopping by and thanks to Dan for making my day by announcing that I was the closest guesser in his latest installment of Filtered Foto Friday. More good stuff on the way.
edit: OK, I give up for the night. If you subscribed to any posts, you will not be getting any e-mails because I’ve deactivated the subscribe plugin. Nighty night. :)

Hey Pete, try going to this file found here - wordpress/wp-includes/pluggable.php
Look for -
$wp_email = ‘wordpress@’
Then from your server create an email account with the user name ‘wordpress’.
Otherwise, change the word ‘wordpress’ in the pluggable.php file to an existing email account name, e.g. admin
Don’t forget to backup your file before making these changes. :)

Your standing with me has just risen ten-fold. I made the edit, now I’ll sit back and wait to see what happens. You totally rock. (Backup? I don’t need no stinkin’ backup!) :D

Dude, what are you talking about, just use IE to figure this out. IE rules.

Rolando: I had to actually comment out the php mail line for it to work. No problems now.
joe: You must know I hate IE, otherwise you wouldn’t be smack talking like that. There are children reading this blog! :D

Congrats! I think upgrading wordpress is somewhat hard think to do. Last time I have lost my database fiel during upgrade.
