Wordpress 2.3.1 eMail Comment Notifications

As a programmer I appreciate the new ‘features’ that are programmed into code. And I speak from experience. We joke, at work, that when a new thing is put into the financial software at work that really is not what the user wants, but it does work in a way, we call it a ‘feature’ instead of a bug. ;)

So anyway I upgraded my www.TatumTail.com blog to Wordpress 2.3.1, as well as my sisters blog to 2.3.1, and of course there is a new ‘feature’ that makes it so Wordpress will not send an email to an email address that has a different domain name than the domain Wordpress is running on.

Well, I have five blogs on my host and I really don’t want to have an email for every single domain. I want to use one email for all the domains. So I don’t know if or why the Wordpress folk thought this was an improvement or not. But here is the fix if you need it. There is a whole thread on the WP forums but instead of directing you there to weed through all the posts, this link will take you right to the fix.

So have fun with this. I will be upgrading my other blogs to 2.3.1 soon but I have to do them manually. And heck, maybe I’ll just wait and see if this new ‘feature’ they have will go away in the next release. Maybe when I check out the hotels Las Vegas that have internet access I can apply fixes from there next time I’m down that way, which seems like a lot lately.

On this day..

    Oh that would be cool if you got a computer degree! SLCC isn’t to hard, either. :)
