Shouldn't I be able to just unserialize once? This seems to work, but I'm wondering what point about serialization I'm missing here. //check database to see if user has eve...
Hi there, I just realized my bbpress isn't sending emails. Probably for the same reason wordpress wouldn't: mail() is not allowed on my host.
