Broken Links WordPress plugin not working?

English: Screenshot of the WordPress Plugin OSM

I really like the Broken Links WordPress plugin. It scans all the web links on my website, and tests them to make sure they work. If they don’t work, it gives me a list and then I can try them to double-check they don’t work.

However about 6 months ago it stopped working. It might have been because I added new plugins in that time. Anyway, I deleted it and reinstalled and now it is working great. This is just to share that reinstalling plugins sometimes makes them work again. Most of the time plugins just work, and they continue to work through WordPress upgrades.

Software Update will not recognize an…: Apple Support Communities. Thanks Joey! I wonder why HP just doesn’t say that?

This problem can be solved by removing the following directory and then installing the update via Software Update

HD/Library/Printers/hp/Frameworks/HPSmartX.framework

Mail Send Failed – “Milter rejected…: Apple Support Communities. Interesting. The work arounds seem to be two things:

  1. Turn off SSL
  2. Change from smtp.mac.com on part: 587 to port 25.
  3. Get another email provider

Thanks cathy fasano. Nicely done!

Go to System Preferences (under the apple) and Software Update is about the middle of the “Systems” line. On the bottom of the Pref panel for SW Update there are check boxes for checking automatically and downloading automatically. If you spend any significant amount of time attached via an expensive or slow connection, turn them both off.

I would turn off “download automatically” under any circumstances — when you are trying to do something and it runs really slowly, it’s pretty frustrating to realize that it’s because your computer was downloading 500MB of printer driver updates for a printer that broke and you threw in the trash two years ago!

software update hangs after upgrading…: Apple Support Communities

So it appears that just waiting is enough.

Me too. I’m running a mid-2010 Mac Mini with 8GB RAM.

The first couple of times when I tried using the Software Update app, I couldn’t get the download to begin; after I clicked the Agree button, the dialog box closed, but the download never started. The Software Update app was still running, just not doing anything. I’d close the app and tray again with the same results.

Today I tried and the download did download and started to install. When it reach the ‘Registering components’ stage near the end, it appeared to hang at around 98% complete.

Because I was doing onther stuff on my computer, I let it sit there for about 40 minutes. Then, all of a sudden, it finished the install. I’ve opened iTunes and the ‘About’ box tells me I’m running iTunes 10 .4 (80) 64-bit.

So, try again and be patient.
