I am facing a problem after upgraded my blog to Wordpress 2.5.1 version. I do not know what’s wrong with the wordpress. The writing page look like below, all the icon in the page disappear! What’s wrong with the page?

I remember I do not miss any step while upgrading the wordpress. The internet connection is ok as well. I also reinstall the wordpress again, but still the same. I really have no idea what’s wrong with that. I am thinking to install back the old version, but where to find the old version?

I am getting bore with the new wordpress manage post function. It seem like we have more thing to do after save or published a post. The post manage page no longer automatic start with an empty visual after saved or published a post. It only showed post updated in the page and I have to click on the write to start a new post again.

It would be a very troublesome step if I want to edit more than 1 post. Oh my…Could you please give me back the old Wordpress function?

I am using the auto Wordpress Database backup plugin since few months ago. This really a big help for me. I have no fear if anything happen to my blog anymore because I have set the plugin to auto backup my blog everyday.

If you worry have not much space to store your database backup, then I will suggest you to get signup an email account and specially to store your backup. You could set the plugin, auto backup and delivery the backup to the email. It just easy as 123 to do the setting.

Here is the backup table. All these will be included in the backup.

The backup option allow you to select either save the database to the server (not recommend), download to you computer or email the backup to the email address you place in the column.

Note : I am not using this…look at the final option at below.

This is what I am using now. I set it the scheduled backup at once a day and sent the backup to me by email. So that I could store the backup in my email.

I do not worry and keep remind myself to backup the blog after installed this plugin. Save my time.

Seem like the released of Wordpress Version 2.5 is not only a change of wordpress version. Even their official website design also changed. Maybe this is a big change for them? Their new look better than the old one. I wish the latest version of wordpress features and function will be as good as their new designs too.

I have downloaded the “Get Recent Comments For Wordpress Blog” quite some times, but have not try it yet until now. I am very lazy to install plugin and test it now.

Anyway, I just want to share with you this recent comment plugin. If you want to try it, you could visit to this website and download it. Let me know is it working well or not. Hmm..i think should not have any problem, since so many bloggers have tried it.

Get the plugin at http://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/GetRecentComments

p/s : I am using wordpress’s sidebar widget now. :p

I hate to do the wordpress upgrade for my blog because it just too hassles to upgrade if you have more that two blogs. However, I can’t wait to get the Wordpress 2.5 version this time. I just saw the 2.5 version Sneak Peek; seem like wordpress going to have a fresh look in the new version.

The customizable dashboard, multi-file upload, built-in galleries, one-click plugin upgrades, tag management, built-in Gravatars, full text feeds, and faster load times really sound interesting to me. I wish I could try it now. I hope this would be great changes and hope no bug please.

I just read a post regarding accidentally deleted post from CP’s blog. I was having the same problem few months ago. This kind of accident very easy to happen when moving server or spring clean blog post.

CP have a very good explanation on how to search back the post at Google Cache and copy and paste as a new post but adjust the post date and title as per the old post.

Anyway, the best to avoid this problem is don’t simply delete post or do spring clean in blog.

Looks! 16 hours ago, a new wordpress version has been released..The new 2.3.3 version has fixed bugs stated as below :-

After upgrading to php5.2.1 on FreeBSD6.2-amd64 the function in wp-includes/gettext.php fails to determine the correct byteorder, so the language (.mo) file is not loaded.

The problem possibly is around line 114 of gettext.php

Registration emails sent to certain addresses where “callout verification” is enabled will fail. The following delivery failure notice will be generated:

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

t231@recipient_domain.com

SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<t231@recipient_domain.com>: host recipient_domain.com [xxx.22.96.xxx]: 550-Verification failed for <wordpress@blogdomain.com> 550-Previous (cached) callout verification failure 550 Sender verify failed

This was not an issue with WP 2.2, but occurs on an upgrade to 2.3.1, or a fresh 2.3.1 install with no plugins enabled and the default theme.

The maybe_create_table function has moved into a new file in this release of WordPress. In this new file there is a called on wp-config.php using a relational path - this causes issues on my plugin.

This issue appears to be resolves using a full path definition of the location of the wp-config.php file.

I’ll attach a patch.diff later, in the meantime in the file /wp-admin/install-helper.php line 2 needs updating from:

require_once(’../wp-config.php’);

to:

require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-config.php’);

Do you face above problem before? hmmm…sorry I totally do not know what is that at all! I am do not know much about .php thingy. What I know now is only I have to work for another round of wordpress upgrade again.

I just downloaded the Shylock Adsense and testing on it since last week in my New Home Recipe Blog. I like the easy arrangement of Adsense and it looks pretty simple for me to arrange in particulars post and place.

You can paste 10 different type of Google adsense code in the Set Code. In addition, it previews the ads in the set code page after you updated. This is pretty easy for you to select what designs of ads you want. In addition, I like the most is the FrontPage setting which I can select two ads to show in post and one in the sidebar.

Previews of the ads.

Setting for the Front Page and also for categories and archive.

You can even set which page to show the ads, which post to show and where is the ads place on.

I am having problem to help my friend redirect her blog to new url. I think this should be her server problem. I have tried to add the redirect code in her .htaccess file with and without rewrite mode. But both are not working. Both URL looks like individually but sharing the same database and directory. I tried to use a wordress plugin to do the redirection, but it fail as well.

Maybe her URL should not count as New URL, both are subdomain with the same name. Her URL is like below :-

Old URL - http://easy4ever.com/jkliaw

New URL - http://jkliaw.easy4ever.com

The problem is it happen opposite way, which is the New URL redirect to Old URL. What’s wrong? I have lost of idea how to help her do to the redirection now. Anyone can help her to solve the problem?

Few months ago, I have received an offer from Linkworth to place an ads link in my category page. I have been headache about how to add the link in category since then, but I could not find any solution until I read the How to add custom text in wordpress from Mrs. Mecombers Scrapbook.

Never know that could be so easy! I though it should be something very complicated with php program, but from what she explain, it is look easy. Just copy and paste to create another category page with the specific category ID and add the link will do. That real easy.

OK.. I surrender. This blog already upgraded to Version 2.3.2 yesterday.

I promises my host to keep all my Wordpress version up to date since my server hacked by stupid phising site. I do not want to replace the same mistake again, so I think I better play safe and upgrade all the Wordpress to latest version.

I took about 3 hours to completed upgraded 5 blogs, included my sister and nephew blog. Tired!

I was just upgraded this blog to Wordpress Version 2.3.1. Then I saw below message in the dashboard again! KNN!

The Wordpress 2.3.2 was released few days ago only! Just on the day I am upgraded this blog. Oh My..I am tiring to do the upgrade again, because is not only 1 blog I have to upload the file but is for few blog. But my host told me must keeps the wordpress up to date to avoiding hack. What to do now? Leave it or do it again?

I have downloaded Eric’s new theme at his Blogging Secret Blog. I like the themes as it look quite simple. I almost fed up to install the theme until he teaches me about it. I don’t like to install too much of plug in to my wordpress actually, most of the reasons is I am very lazy to download the plugin and install it one by one. I thought Eric’s themes require those plug in that I don’t have. So I almost decide stop to use the theme.

Lucky he told me that all the plug in have been included in the theme, which I only have to upload the plugin from his theme folder only. That sound much more easy to me. :lo:

Thanks Eric! The theme has successfully installed. :p
