Some thoughts on troubleshooting

can you login to the gmail account itself with the same username and password?

Try this: open a text document, type in the gmail username and password. Then open gmail in a private window in your browser. Copy and paste that info directly into gmail to log in. Did it work? Do the exact same thing with WP SMTP. In other words, copy/paste the information. Do not type it in and do not accept the defaults.

Sometimes a space can mess you up in the password field. Always count the number of * characters in the password field to make sure there’s no space.

Hope this helps.

Came across your question while looking to do basically the same thing. No responses here, but I did find this. Hope it helps.

I didn’t know if I was supposed to replace an existing line in the file, so I just added it to the bottom of the CSS file. That worked perfectly. Thank you very much!

It works fine in chrome.

The problem in firefox is the text box (and surrounding div or whatever) is a little short, and the pop-up menu at the bottom covers up the place where you would click the mouse.

I found a fix, methinks. In the file mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-dashboard-notes/assets/css/wpdn_admin.css

I changed this:

.wp-dashboard-note {
line-height: 1.5;
font-size: 14px;
}

To this:

.wp-dashboard-note {
line-height: 1.5;
font-size: 14px;
height: 30px;
}

I don’t know whether that’s the “proper” place to apply that piece of code, but it works. (Story of my life…)

In any event, I am now up and running.

Thanks again,

Mike

I went back to play with this and actually found something different. Here’s the sequence:

– create a new note, then change it from list to note at the bottom by clicking the note icon.

– type in the title for the note. At this point, you cannot select the field for the note itself with the mouse, nor can you see it.

– From the title field, hit the tab key. It takes you into the body of the note itself. Once you add some text in there and save the note, everything works. You can edit the note, use your mouse

So it works, but maybe there is a CSS issue. I tried looking at the code myself but couldn’t figure it out.

It would be nice if there were a border around the notes field itself, as there is on the list items.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Jeroen,

I’m having the same problem. I’m using Windows 10 and WP version 4.3.1.

When I press enter, or shift-enter, there’s no new line, the note saves and then I have to click Edit again to edit the note. I have not been able to add a new line.

Thank you for doing all of this work to make something nice for people to use.

Mike
