Upgraded to WordPress 3.0.3

Wednesday, December 22, 2010 @ 11:08 pm by Sofie Hofmann

Last week, I upgraded all the blogs and sites that I have been maintaining. I upgraded the blogs using WordPress as a blog publishing platform and the sites using WordPress as CMS from WordPress 3.0.1 to WordPress 3.0.3.

I skipped upgrading to WordPress 3.0.2 as I was on vacation when WordPress 3.0.2 and WordPress 3.0.3 were released.

I did not have any problems with any of the blogs or sites when I upgraded them from WordPress 3.0.1 to WordPress 3.0.3 even if I skipped upgrading to WordPress 3.0.2.

Thank you, WordPress Team!

But remember, before you upgrade, back up your database and files.

If you need any information on how to back up the database via phpMyAdmin, just read the blog entry I just mentioned.

WordPress as CMS for Pandan.gov.ph

Friday, December 17, 2010 @ 11:50 pm by Sofie Hofmann

I converted Pandan.gov.ph, the Official Website of the Municipality of Pandan, Antique, Philippines, from simple PHP to WordPress as CMS. I actually revised the Website a few months ago but I did not write about it.

I designed this Website in 2005 and it was officially online on April 01, 2005. I also paid for the hosting of the Website. But more than two (2) years ago, I gave up maintaining the Website but did not give up hosting it yet as I would like to turnover the Web content maintenance of the site to Pandan Local Government Unit.

This year, upon my request, Mayor Tan, the new mayor of the Municipality of Pandan, Antique, Philippines, decided to maintain the Website and so I converted it to WordPress CMS.

The web design is still the same, based on the original web design of Pandan.gov.ph when it was still using simple PHP and before that using simple XHTML, except for the navigation menu on top of the page as it is a dropdown navigation menu now. Despite the new dropdown navigation menu, I left the other navigation menu by section on the left side of the page.

I used the Pages feature for most of the pages on this Website and used the Posts feature for the gallery, news and bid sections. If there are any updates on the site, the readers will be able to see them immediately at the front page.

When it comes to WordPress Plugins, this Website is using three (3) plugins only, Akismet, WordPress Stats, and User Role Editor.

It took me at least four (4) weeks to finish redesigning this Website.

How to Install WordPress, How to Set Up a Website

Tuesday, October 12, 2010 @ 11:50 pm by Sofie Hofmann

I have discussed topics like how to start a Website, how to register a domain name, how to get a web host, how to set up a Website, and how to set or change nameservers. Almost everything that have been discussed on those topics were required for a Website to be available online.

If you are determined to have a Website and you do not have any idea on how to design a Website, there are free publishing platforms out there which you can use. One of those easy to use publishing platforms as well as CMS Content Management System softwares is WordPress.

I will not discuss what is WordPress but I will give you an idea on how to install WordPress at DreamHost using its “One-Click Installs” feature.

How to Install WordPress at DreamHost

Proceed to DreamHost.

1. Supply the email address and password that you used when you signed up for a web hosting account with DreamHost at the “DreamHost: Login” page to log in at the web control panel.

Click the button “Login”.

You will be redirected to the “DreamHost Web Panel > Home : Welcome” page.

You will read the following text:

Welcome to your DreamHost Control Panel!

This is the control center of your DreamHost account. From here you can configure literally any aspect of your account in no time at all!

When you signed up, we automatically set up your first FTP user, your domain registration (if you so selected), your domain’s hosting with us, and your first email address (just to forward to your current email)!

If things aren’t working yet you may have to wait a day for the new DNS information to propagate across the whole Internet.

Now, you can go install in just one click some weblog software, a forum, a poll, an online store, or even a wiki!

How to Install WordPress, How to Set Up a Website

2. Click the link “One-Click Installs” on the left side under “Toolbox” above the “Main Menu” or click the link “Free Website Software” on the right side under “Let’s Get Started”.

You will be redirected to “DreamHost Web Panel > Goodies : One-Click Installs” page.

You will read the following text:

One-Click Software Installation

Fantastico, shmantastico! DreamHost now has its very own one-click software installation!

All software listed here has been judged best in its class by us, not to mention being open-source and completely free!

Unless you choose our “Easy mode,” you are also responsible for upgrading your old installations (you can do it from here!) should any critical security holes be discovered!

You have four (4) options:

Install new website software – Easy mode

Modify / remove previously installed software (easy)?

Install new website software – Advanced mode

Upgrade or remove previously installed software – Advanced mode

But since you are just going to install WordPress, you have two (2) options:

Either to Install new website software in easy mode or to install new website software in advanced mode.

DreamHost says:

“In easy mode, you cannot access the files for the installation (so you can only use the themes/plugins/languages we’ve included), but installation, upgrades, and maintenance are all handled for you!”

“In advanced mode, you have full control (the software is installed to your web space), but installation and maintenance is a tiny bit more involved.”

You can install WordPress in whatever mode you like but in my case as I would like to have full control, I always install WordPress in advanced mode.

How to Install WordPress, How to Set Up a Website

Well then, let us install WordPress in advanced mode.

3. Click the link “Install new website software – Advanced mode”.

You will be shown all the softwares that you can install and you will read the following text:

What software would you like to install?

How to Install WordPress, How to Set Up a Website

Install to:

Please be sure there are no files there now

Create a Database for me automatically: Uncheck this option if you want to create your database manually or use one of your existing databases.

Note: Submitting this form will set your domain to run PHP as a CGI if it isn’t already! (Which is probably fine!)

It should take less than 10 minutes to install your new software.
We will email you further instructions at (email address) when it’s complete

In this case:

4. Click WordPress.

5. Select the domain name at the dropdown menu corresponding to the text “Install to”.

For example your domain name is “sehdi.com” or “mysehdi.com”.

Select the domain “mysehdi.com” if you would like WordPress to be installed on that domain name.

You have the option to install it under the domain name “mysehdi.com” itself or at a folder.

You can write at the field provided next to the the domain name the folder like “mywp” or “wp”.

It would look like this:

Install to: http://www.mysehdi.com / mywp

How to Install WordPress, How to Set Up a Website

After that, there is a need to create a database.

Read “Create a Database for me automatically”.

You can leave it checked if you would like the database to be created for you automatically.

You can uncheck it if you would like to create your database manually or use one of your existing databases.

If for instance, you unchecked it.

You will be shown the following text and you need to fill out the blank fields provided:

Select a database to use:

New Database Name:
Try putting your domain name in front of your database name if the name you want is already taken.

Use Existing Hostname:

Create a New Hostname:
There is a delay while DNS propagates for new hostnames..(The domain must use our DNS!)

First User:

How to Install WordPress, How to Set Up a Website

In this case and if for instance you have no database yet:

Select “Create a database now” from the dropdown at the corresponding text “Select a database to use”.

You can write “mysehdidatabase” or “databasename1” at the field corresponding to the text “New Database Name”.

Select “Create a new hostname now” from the dropdown corresponding to the text “Use Existing Hostname”.

You can write “mysql” or “host” or myhost” or whatever you like at the field provided corresponding to the text “Create a New Hostname”.

Select the domain name “sehdi.com” or “mysehdi.com” that you already added before.

Adding the domain name was discussed on the topic how to set up a Website.

If for instance again, there is no existing username yet.

Select “Create a new user now” from the dropdown corresponding to the text “First User”.

Supply the necessary details at the blank fields provided.

New Username: databaseusername (example only)

New Password:

New Password Again:

But for example, we checked the box with the text “Uncheck this option if you want to create your database manually or use one of your existing databases” corresponding to the text “Create a Database for me automatically”.

With that, the database will be created for you automatically once you click the button “Install if for me now!”.

How to Install WordPress, How to Set Up a Website

6. Click “Install it for me now!”.

You will be redirected back to the “DreamHost Web Panel > Goodies : One-Click Installs” page.

You will again read the following text but with “Success” message:

One-Click Software Installation

Fantastico, shmantastico! DreamHost now has its very own one-click software installation!

All software listed here has been judged best in its class by us, not to mention being open-source and completely free!

Unless you choose our “Easy mode,” you are also responsible for upgrading your old installations (you can do it from here!) should any critical security holes be discovered!

How to Start a Website

Wednesday, August 18, 2010 @ 8:28 pm by Sofie Hofmann

I actually wrote at ProBlogit.com about starting and implementing a blog. It is almost similar to the topic how to start a Website if you just replace the word blog with Website. I will simplify it here but I will always be referring you to the blog entries that I wrote at ProBlogit.com especially if I find it not necessary to rewrite them as I definitely discuss things thoroughly there.

I would assume that you already have a business or a topic, your hobby perhaps, that is why you would like to have a Website.

But before everything else, allow me to use the word business here instead of hobby or any other terms.

1. Get a Domain Name

First, get a domain name for your business Website.

Your domain name should be the same with your business name. It is ideal if your business name has two syllables or three syllables. How would you know if your business name is still available as a domain name. Well, check if the domain name is still available by going to the domain registrar’s Website.

I always use GoDaddy to check if the domain name is still available. If your business name is no longer available as a domain name, find an alternative. Just keep on searching until you find one that is related to your business.

Once you find the right domain name for your business Website, register the domain name.

Read more about this topic, Domain Name or Free Subdomain Name, Choosing a good Domain Name and Registering a Domain Name, at ProBlogit.com. I discuss this topic thoroughly on those blog entries. You should not neglect this topic at all. It is very important. Your domain name is your online business identity.

2. Get a Web Host

Second, get a web host to host your domain name for your business Website to be online.

I have several web hosting providers and I have been using DreamHost to host several of my blogs and sites. I find DreamHost easy to use. I also tried Lunarpages and it was fine. I have not tried BlueHost though but when it comes to price BlueHost costs lesser than DreamHost.

It is not only because I am an affiliate of those web hosts that is why I include them here but because of the features of the web hosting they offer. Add to that, they have been around in the business of web hosting for quite some time now.

Read more about this topic, Choosing a Web Host, at ProBlogit.com. This topic is again very important. Even if you do not understand the terms that I wrote on that blog entry, they are very important for your business Website.

3. Set up the Website

Third, set up the Website to be available online.

Now, this is the very crucial part of starting a Website especially if you want to set it up yourself as it is a little bit more technical. Unless of course, you asked someone to do this for you.

After you have registered the domain name and after you opened a web hosting account, you need to set up your business Website. This process is needed so that your business Website will be available online. Without this process, there is no way to get your business Website online.

Read more about this topic, Setting Up a Blog, at ProBlogit.com.

But there are very important things regarding adding the domain name and setting the nameservers (DNS) which I failed to mention at the blog entry, Setting up a Blog, especially if you registered your domain name at GoDaddy and you would like DreamHost to host your business Website.

Add Domain Name

It is not enough that you opened a web hosting account. You need to add manually the domain name to be hosted.

If your account is at DreamHost, go to DreamHost Control Panel.

Go to DreamHost and login.

Click Website Hosting.

Click Add New Domain.

Supply the necessary details.

Examples:
Domain to host: domainname.com
Web directory: domainname.com

If you have no username yet, try to create one first. Go back to this page later and supply the necessary details again. Remember though that the username and password that are needed in adding a domain name should be different from your username and password when you accessed the control panel.

Then, click fully host this domain.

You will see the domain name if it is already listed once you click Manage Domains.

Set DNS (Domain Nameserver)

Make sure that the DNS of your domain name is pointing to your web host.

Go to your domain name registrar and login.

Click Manage Domains.

Click the domain name to be able to change the nameservers.

Click set Nameservers.

For example, the Dreamhost Nameservers are the following:

NS1.DREAMHOST.COM
NS2.DREAMHOST.COM
NS3.DREAMHOST.COM

Enter NS1.DREAMHOST.COM at the space corresponding to Nameserver 1

Enter NS2.DREAMHOST.COM at the space corresponding to Nameserver 2

Enter NS3.DREAMHOST.COM at the space corresponding to Nameserver 3

Nameserver 1 and Nameserver 2 are required and you will see that if there is an asterisk near it. An asterisk normally indicates that something is required.

You will have to wait 48-72 hours for the DNS to propagate though. I am not going to explain to you what is DNS propagation. It is important for you to know though that this process is needed.

You will know if the DNS has propagated once you see that your business Website is online.

But for you to know this and while waiting for the propagation, you create at least a simple page for your Website.

How to create a simple page?

Go to your web host or web hosting provider Website and login.

Let me illustrate this using DreamHost Control Panel.

Click Manage Domains.

Once you see the domain name, click WebFTP.

Another window will appear and supply the necessary details.

Example:
FTP server: domainname.com
Initial directory: domainname.com (same with Web directory at the Add Domain Name section)

If the DNS has not propagated yet, use your web server.

See what is Your Web Server by clicking Account Status on the top right side of the control panel and just add dreamhost.com to it with dot also before dreamhost like server.dreamhost.com.

Once you are inside the WebFTP, look for the index page, normally index.html or index.htm or index.php. It could also be default instead of index. Whatever text is inside that page, you will see that online later on once the DNS has propagated. But you can also change the text inside that page by editing it, by clicking edit, just follow the same instructions when creating a new file.

If you do not see any index or default page, create a new file.

Click New File.

Supply the file name, index.html or index.php at the box corresponding New file name.

You see [Enter Code Here].

Just delete everything and replace it with “Hello World” without the quotes.

Save it by clicking the floppy disk icon.

With that, once the DNS has propagated, you will see that text online on the page that you created.

To see the page, just type your domain name at the browser’s toolbar.

There are other technical things needed to be discussed but for the meantime the above instructions will suffice.

4. Get a Web Design

Fourth, get a web design for your business Website.

Part of starting a Website is for your business Website to have its own identity by having your own web design.

There are several ways in getting a web design.

You can hire a web designer to do a web design for your business Website.

You can make use of a ready made web design made available to you by your web hosting provider.

You can install WordPress and make use of its default theme.

If you install WordPress:

You can also use your own theme by hiring someone to design a theme for your business Website.

You can also make use of the WordPress themes made available to you by your web hosting provider.

You can also make use of the other WordPress themes which require uploading to WordPress.

But you might need the expertise of someone in installing WordPress if you do not know how to install the database.

I will write about this topic, how to install a database, later on.

5. Promote the Website

Fifth, promote your business Website.

Part again of starting a Website is for you to promote your Website.

It is not just enough that you have a Website. Your clients may know about it but if you need more clients, then your prospective clients must be able to find you if they search for a product like yours.

Read more about this topic, Ways on Promoting a Blog, at ProBlogit.com.

Well then, starting a Website would entail:

Getting a Domain Name

Getting a Web Host

Setting up the Website

Getting a Web Design

Promoting the Website

That’s it. I hope that what I explained here will help you in your endeavor starting and setting up your own Website.

Disclosure: As an affiliate, if you decide to register a domain name with GoDaddy, and get a web hosting account with either DreamHost, BlueHost or Lunarpages, I am going to earn from it.

Upgraded to WordPress 3.0.1

Wednesday, August 4, 2010 @ 2:55 pm by Sofie Hofmann

I was able to upgrade from WordPress 3.0 to WordPress 3.0.1 the twelve (12) sites and blogs yesterday without any problem, even the three (3) sites where I had some problem that I mentioned when I upgraded to WordPress 3.0 “Thelonious”.

Tugbong Festival
Patria Diesel Power Plant Issue
Semirara Dumpsite Issue

I did not do anything at all to fix the problem with the three (3) sites, WordPress 3.0.1 fixed it by itself.

Before you upgrade, please do not forget to back up your database and your files.

Read this blog entry here on how to back up the database via phpMyAdmin and read this WordPress.org documentation, WordPress Backups, for more information.

Thank you very much WordPress Team!

Upgraded to WordPress 3.0 “Thelonious”

Tuesday, June 22, 2010 @ 4:10 pm by Sofie Hofmann

I have upgraded the nine (9) sites and blogs below out of the twelve (12) sites that I am maintaining up to now. I had no problem upgrading the nine (9) sites and blogs from WordPress 2.9.2 to WordPress 3.0 “Thelonious” but have a serious problem now with the three (3) remaining sites.

These three (3) remaining sites are using a period at the Category section under Permalinks instead of the category word itself or any word for that matter. I used the Posts feature instead of the Pages feature to create pages in these sites for dynamic pages purposes. But now, WordPress 3.0 does not recognize the redirection.

I have no problem using the words archives and category to replace the period in other sites. But in these three (3) sites, I just cannot find the right term to replace the period as the pages appear as pages not posts and without any category.

Tugbong Festival
Patria Diesel Power Plant Issue
Semirara Dumpsite Issue

I experimented converting the Photo Gallery category and posts at the Patria Diesel Power Plant Issue site into pages leaving the News Updates, the only category that would remain as the other pages have been created using Pages feature, and it worked fine. But I am not sure if I am really going to implement it.

But the pages at the Semirara Dumpsite Issue and the Tugbong Festival sites were created using the Posts feature. I do not want to convert the pages yet using the Posts feature now into pages using the Pages feature. It would be a lot of work as there are a lot pages to convert. But it seems like, I have to do it sooner or later. I just do not feel like using another word between the domain name and the pages. But I hope to be able to find a better solution.

WordPress is such a good publishing platform but sometimes it is also giving me a hard time because of some inconsistencies like this one now.

Nevertheless, WordPress 3.0 “Thelonious” is such a good release. Please watch the video if you would like to know more about WordPress 3.0.

https://videopress.com/v/wp-content/plugins/video/flvplayer.swf?ver=1.21

Thank you, WordPress Team!

By the way, I have not neglected this site. I was on vacation and I normally do not blog when I am on vacation.

Keep on reading! Thank you! 🙂

Upgraded to WordPress 2.9.2

Wednesday, February 24, 2010 @ 5:22 pm by Sofie Hofmann

I have upgraded all the websites and blogs from WordPress 2.9.1 to WordPress 2.9.2. The same blogs and sites that I upgraded to WordPress 2.9 and WordPress 2.9.1 from WordPress 2.8.6.

I upgraded the sites and blogs using the WordPress Automatic Upgrade feature and did not encounter any problems at all. The Image Gallery Problem has also been fixed the last time I upgraded the sites and blogs to WordPress 2.9 and WordPress 2.9.1.

Upgrading to WordPress 2.9.2 was not really necessary when it comes to the websites and blogs that I maintain but I opted to upgrade them anyway.

WordPress 2.9.2 was a fix release to a problem where logged in users can peek at trashed posts belonging to other authors. If you have other users registered on your blog and you do not like your posts being looked at despite being in the trash, upgrade your site or blog to WordPress 2.9.2.

You can download the new fix release of WordPress from the Download section or from the Release Archive section of WordPress.org.

Remember, before upgrading anything, back up your files and databases first. You can back up your files via FTP or File Transfer Protocol. You can back up your database via phpMyAdmin. Read my previous blog entry on how to back up database via phpMyAdmin.

Upgraded to WordPress 2.9 “Carmen” to WordPress 2.9.1

Tuesday, January 19, 2010 @ 10:48 pm by Sofie Hofmann

WordPress 2.9 “Carmen” is another great WordPress release. WordPress 2.9 was released on December 19, 2009 but I never had the time to upgrade the blogs and sites before Christmas and even after the holidays. Then on January 4, 2009, WordPress 2.9.1 was released to address a handful of minor issues.

With the two releases, I just thought that it was time to upgrade. And so, yesterday, I upgraded the blogs and sites below from WordPress 2.8.6 to WordPress 2.9 “Carmen” to WordPress 2.9.1.

WordPress 2.9 introduced a lot of new great features like editing an image using the built-in image editor, updating the plugins in batches, embedding with oEmbed among others, but I have not really explored and tested them yet. I will not write about the new features. You can read all about them at WordPress.org or just watch the video below.

https://videopress.com/v/wp-content/plugins/video/flvplayer.swf?ver=1.15

There is one thing though that I would like to share to you. If you have been following my blog every time I upgraded to a new released version of WordPress you probably knew about my problem with the Image Gallery feature of WordPress and how I found a solution to it.

I was sort of not in the mood before to find out what was the real problem so I looked for a simple solution. But yesterday, I really looked for the problem and what I can actually do about it so I do not have to comment on the four lines at the post.php file every time there is a need to upgrade.

With one site for example, the “File URL” at the Media Library was different from the “guid” at the wp_posts at the database. You probably knew already that the “File URL” if you need to “Edit Media” at the Media Library cannot be edited from there. So I especially looked for that particular problem and found out that I can actually edit it at the wp_postmeta at the database.

I could actually use some SQL syntax but opted to edit them one by one as I did not want to take any chances that I might make a mistake and delete some things that I do not want to delete. I just removed the unnecessary folders and subfolders before the file name of the photos at the wp_postmeta at the database.

With another site, it was more of adding the year and month before the file name of the photos at the wp_postmeta at the database. The year and month were not reflected when I first uploaded the photos because the miscellaneous settings were different then from the one at the present.

I changed the settings at the miscellaneous by checking “Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders”. When I first uploaded the photos, I did not check “Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders”.

With what I just told you, I did not comment anymore on the four lines at the post.php under the wp-includes folder. Other than the Image Gallery problem, upgrading from WordPress 2.8.6 to WordPress 2.9 to WordPress 2.9.1 went fine.

WordPress won Overall Best Open Source CMS Award

Tuesday, November 24, 2009 @ 9:45 pm by Sofie Hofmann

After 4 years, WordPress finally won the Overall Best Open Source CMS Award in the 2009 Open Source CMS Awards. WordPress won the award for the first time and it earned itself a place in the Hall of Fame category for the 2010 CMS Open Source Awards.

Other than that, WordPress also placed second to Drupal in the Best Open Source PHP CMS Category. Joomla came third. Drupal and Joomla were consistent in this category and first time for WordPress to be in the top five.

Indeed, WordPress has proven that it deserves to be called as Content Management System not just a blogging platform.

I have tested many Content Management System (CMS) and it was only WordPress that I pursued to learn and use for my websites. I was more into web designing than blogging and I was looking for a software that was easy to tweak and understand.

I knew then that WordPress was a blogging platform and I already saw the potential of it becoming a CMS. I have experimented using it for my websites and not for blogs, and I was able to use it the way I wanted it.

Every time I meet people who are into making websites not just into blogging, I always recommend to them to use WordPress because it is so easy to customize and it is not at all complicated.

To the WordPress Team! Congratulations!

Upgraded to WordPress 2.8.6

Tuesday, November 17, 2009 @ 2:28 pm by Sofie Hofmann

I spent a few hours yesterday upgrading sites and blogs from WordPress 2.8.5 to WordPress 2.8.6. You are probably wondering why I spent a few hours upgrading when WordPress has an automatic upgrading feature which would take a few minutes only.

Well, most of my time was spent testing the sites in my local computer in case something is broken. I finished upgrading the following:

Among the 12 sites including the blogs that I upgraded, everything went fine except for the 3 sites where I again have a problem with WordPress Image Gallery. As usual, I just solved it by commenting the 4 particular lines at the post.php file which is under wp-includes folder. With that, the images will be called from the right path.

If you have a problem with WordPress Image Gallery and you need a solution, kindly read this blog entry, Solution to WordPress 2.7.1 Gallery Code Problem. I have been having this problem with WordPress Image Gallery since upgrading to WordPress 2.7.1 and until yesterday when I upgraded the sites to WordPress 2.8.6.

You can also read this blog entry, Upgraded to WordPress 2.8.3, Image Gallery Problem and Solution if you would like more information why I have this problem. It might give you an idea what not do.

WordPress 2.8.6 is a security release fixing two security problems that can be exploited by registered, logged in users who have posting privileges. In the case of the sites and blogs that I upgraded, there would have no problem but I opted to upgrade them anyway.
