Re: Suggestions for WordPress support sites

Hi Mauricio, thanks for offering to help.

I actually have two issues right now.

First is the one I posted on the Wordpress forum:

"WordPress has updated itself just fine but when I try to update Plugins and Themes I get the following failure message for all updates.

Downloading update from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/akismet.3.1.1.zip…;
Unpacking the update…
Installing the latest version…
Plugin update failed.
An error occurred while updating Akismet: The package could not be installed. The package contains no files.

I can't find any log messages or anything else to tell me why this is failing. Any suggestions? I'm a WordPress newbie and this is my first problem of this nature."


Second issue is that I am setting up users by copying their details from an older system - but I can’t copy the passwords and need to force them to set a new pw when they first sign in to the new system. Not sure how to accomplish that. Any search for expiring passwords just presents me with a myriad of people who want me to install their particular security plug in.

What's that line from Ocean's Eleven; "I met a guy in the joint..."

The webmaster from http://alpineschools.org/ gave an excellent
presentation
on WordPress to http://uiipa.org/2013/04/06/gslmug-meeting-for-april-10th/

I think he manages or supports something like 75-100 WordPress sites.

Anyone here got any suggestions for good sources of assistance with
WordPress?

I’ve tried the main support forums but they literally get so many
questions an hour that the net result seems to be that only a tiny
percentage get any responses. And mine is not one of them! Within 12
hours of posting it had sunk to page 3!
