And this plugin, WordPress automatic upgrade help me upgrade automatically. One year ago, I have this idea but I did not find this plugin, and now, this is a first plugin when I install a blog with WordPress.

  5. De-activates all active plugins and remembers it.
  6. Upgrades wordpress files.
  7. Gives you a link that will open in a new window to upgrade installation.
  8. Re-activates the plugins.

There is a tip, just install this plugin, but do not active this plugin until you need to upgrade your WordPress blog.

How to use WP-Affiliate in Mysql 4.0

August 19, 2008 · Filed Under WordPress Plugins · Comment 

Anyway, there are some people still use the Mysql 4.0, like me :-) , but I am not using Mysql 4.0 in this blog : WordPress Online.

Well, WP-affiliate is a good WordPress plugin for me, because I use this great plugin to find my affiliate link clicking state.

If you are the same to me and install this great WordPress plugin, I believe that you are very satisfactory. Anyway, if you are using this plugin under Mysql 4.0, you can’t use the state function.

Why? This is because the Mysql 4.0 can not support the SQLsyntax below:

`thestamp` TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

There is not current_timestamp in Mysql 4.0. so what you do is this below:

  1. Open the WP-affiliate directory and find the PHP file named wp-affiliate-install-functions.php
  2. Open this file and find the the code in line 42 like below:
    `thestamp` TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  3. Replace this code into the code below:
    `thestamp` TIMESTAMP,

Now it OK, feel free to use this tips and make money online with WordPress blog now :-)

Any problem is welcomed to leave a comment.

Unfortunately we don’t yet support parent/child themes in the directory

August 8, 2008 · Filed Under WordPress Themes · Comment 

Today, when I opened my email box, I found that the WordPress Themes Directory sent me a email, not good news, but the bad news.

Unfortunately we don’t yet support parent/child themes in the directory, but this is something that we have our list of features to add.

This is what I received. Yesterday, when I finished a COOL WordPress theme with Sandbox, and I was going to upload the theme to the WordPress Themes Directory.

It’s a bad news for me, anyway, this is a CHILD THEME, but WPTD do not support this kind of theme, what a pity.

Anyway, I’ll upload the cool theme on my hosting, although my hosting is not enough for the DOWNLOAD for many times.

So,What about of Sandbox

August 7, 2008 · Filed Under WordPress Themes · Comment 

Yesterday, I talked about how to design a WordPress theme EASILY! The solution is to use the Sandbox, anyway, when you begin to design a WordPress theme with the Sandbox, you will find a lot of problems if you don’t understand some feature of the Sandbox.This is what I felt at the begin when I began to use Sandbox.

For instance, when I am going to design a theme that the pre and next post displayed under the post, but the Sandbox just let it be a little difficult because you have to change the code, that what I couldn’t do because I just want to write some CSS and the theme will designed quickly, but nothing can help, just have to change the code.

Another example, the menu of Sandbox is just including the page items, but not including the HOME item. Anyway, I must use Google to find out the solution and at last I changed the code in function.php.

So, the solution is, if you want to custom a bardian WordPress Theme, do not use Sandbox, but if you just want to design a theme, do use Sandbox :-)
