Cannot login after WordPress move – Solution

whyyouarewhy — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 05:02:44 +0000

Go to your wp-config.php file and add this line after your DB/call details:

define(‘RELOCATE’, true);

Then navigate your browser to your wp-login.php and it should automatically update your settings to match where you’ve moved you site to and you should be able to login. After you’ve logged in, delete the above line from your wp-config.php file.

Need to change the number of cells in your list? (e.g. I have a list called ‘imsexy’ which has 4 items, I now need 7 items) you will find that you can’t simply select your list and amend it on the sheet, So:

1) go to your ‘Formulas’ tab

2) choose “Name Manager”

3) a pop up box will show what is available for editing. Your list should be in it. Select your list and edit the range.

So lets disect the elemtents that you can edit:

padding:5px; // Controls the padding around the text
width: 300px; // Controls the width, adjust to your needs
float:left; // move it left, right or center
-webkit-border-radius: 1em; // This controls the rounded corners
-moz-border-radius: 1em; // This controls the rounded corners
-border-radius: 1em; // This controls the rounded corners
color: #fff; // This controls font color
border: solid 1px #06548d; // the border color
background: #06548d; // This controls the background color
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#5aadee), to(#06548d)); // This controls the gradient
background: moz-linear-gradient(top, #5aadee, #06548d); // This controls the gradient
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=’#5aadee’, endColorstr=’#06548d’); // This controls the gradient

There are 3 options here to allow this to work properly accross multiple browsers. For example the rounded edges and the gradient. You will need to change all 3 of these options to ensure it will work for your application. The reason there are 3 is to ensure that the css is uniform accross the various browsers. Still there is no guarantee and your milage may vary. However by putting in 3 versions your changes are greater that it will be uniform since most browsers (IE) don’t seem to play well with others.

Here is a rounded button option. I changed the EM from .5em to 1em and this resulted in a heavy rounded edge

Note: some wordpress themes will remove the right formating. So make sure you paste it into the HTML window and don’t edit it- ever again

Solution WordPress Cannot Click Visual Editor

whyyouarewhy — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 03:03:38 +0000

So you cannot click the visual editor.. well you’re probably pissed off..

1) In the admin area – click on POSTS and edit a POST (where you would normally click between visual/HTML)

2) Inspect the ELEMENT with either Chrome or Firebug ( in chrome click console and look for errors)

3) search Google for errors and solutions.

In my case; I did the following:

1) Updated wordpress core – did nothing
2) added define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true); to wp-config (at the top)

this did the trick.

Hope this helps you.

Nancy is a spammer

whyyouarewhy — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 15:07:57 +0000

Nancy is a spammer

Who is Nancy? Nancy is probably a kid in india or another 3rd world country. Who is using an automated tool to blast blog comments onto wordpress articles as comments.

How do I know?

I recently got an email from a site owner who said; look at these comments. How can we setup what they are asking for.

Of course Nancy’s comment was one of the comments.

She wrote: Very nice, i suggest Admin can set up a forum, so that we can talk and communicate. Nancy

Red flag #1: Signed by Nancy, submitted by Donna

Red flag #2: The website Nancy/Donna submitted is a short domain name (3 letter) and has multiple pages of sporting equipment reviews.

I decided to search the exact comment in Google. Funny 33k search results. I guess this is red flag #3. So
if you have a question about your comments being legit or not..

http://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHKZ_enUS437US438&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=Very+nice%2C+i+suggest+Admin+can+set+up+a+forum%2C+so+that+we+can+talk+and+communicate.+Nancy

1) View the info of the person submitting the post
2) Check out their site/Anchor tags
3) Search for their comment in google

Good luck

Notes App + Social Rss App = Facebook Double trouble

whyyouarewhy — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 16:16:00 +0000

Recently I had to troubleshoot a situatuion where a fan page which was being autofeed content via an RSS feed(s) was getting duplicate content. So I watched carefully as posts were added and deducted that the icons near the post gave some insight into which application was doing the posting. The Socialrss app was easy to gauge; it looks like an RSS button – orange & white. However the Notes app was slightly harder to determine since it looked like a piece of ruled paper.

The biggest issue is the NOTES app did not redirect to the site if a visitor clicked on it, but the social rss app did lead you off facebook.com

When you install notes it installs in both your personal account and your pages. to got to the notes app: type NOTES in your facebook search and see if there is a mention of [PAGE NOTES] in the left sidebar.

you can also try this url: http://www.facebook.com/notes#!/notes/pages/

If you are importing notes; you will see them here. They will be earmarked with the brand/feed. Then click on that feed and go to that unique PAGE NOTE. View the left handside (Sidebar) and click on “edit import settings”

Here you can turn off the XML/RSS feed if needed.

Good Luck.

If you want to do the opposite and import a feed do the following:

Facebook allows you to quickly and easily import an external blog from another website.

1. Go to the main Notes application page by typing “Notes” into the search box at the top of the screen.
2. Click the Import a blog link on the right side of the page.
3. Enter the URL (web address) of your blog into the text box, and check the box underneath that states that you agree to our Terms of Use.
4. To complete the process, click on “Save Settings.” Once you do this, your previous posts will appear as notes and any new posts you make will automatically display.

I hate the P HTML tag, so should you

whyyouarewhy — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 01:55:50 +0000

So if you have ever spent ANY time at all inside wordpress. You will notice that content() wraps stupid P tags around everything causing the text, format and design to never look how you want it.

Drop this into the template you want to remove the P tags from and your golden.. Or just into header.php

have fun
