Update your wordpress plugins

Recently, I encountered an error after updating my wordpress to its latest version(not really, a version before the latest). An error like “wp_post2cat’ doesn’t exist”. I checked the database and compared my installed wordpress blogs if the others have post2cat table but to my surprise my other blog and this blog don’t have that table and alvin’s blog has. So I googled the error and found out that some plugins are causing this error. I have to disable every plugin and check if it fixes the problem.

Anyways, I’ve already solved the problem. It seems that Simple tags plugins, Asides plugin and other plugins which uses categories would cause this problem. The reason is that newer version of wordpress doesn’t have wp_post2cat table but uses other table name like wp_term.

Everytime you update your wordpress, make sure you check your plugins if it’s compatible with the new version and if it’s not then update your plugins as well.

By the way, this also covers wordpress themes because new version of wordpress uses different template tags.

I haven’t slept yet since 3 in the morning. Gawd. No, I am not awake because of this new layout. I talked to a friend until 7:30 in the morning and that caffeine is like a slap in my face. I couldn’t even close my eyes. Enough…

I decided to redesign this blog. I didn’t started from scratch because I’m too lazy instead I looked for a nice three column theme and tweaked it. It’s a really simple time and I love the way Brian Gardner coded his stylesheet. It’s easy to edit and personalize. Kudos to you Brian.

It’s not finish yet, Still have to add some modifications and other stuffs. But I guess the new design is much better. I would be using this theme for my other blog, It has been a year since the last time I changed the theme.

New Design for the coming New Year…

Have a Prosperous New Year to Everyone!

P.S.
Comments and Suggestions are welcome. Thanks

Goodbye WP-Shortstat

Earlier, I received a notice that my account is running out of disk space. Deym. Have to delete those unnecessary logs and all sorts to free up some space. I know am generous because I am hosting my friends’ blogs and they are all using wordpress. Crap, i have to disable wp-shortstat coz it’s eating a lot of space. Almost reached 50mb just the stat of my other blog. Hmm…

Another reason why my account reached its quota is because, yes i know I am really generous, I hosted Philippine Tennis Online. Its a, obviously, tennis forum. Man, didn’t know that it will eat a lot of space to think that its only 2 months old. Anyway, we are planning to move it to a new server in case the community grows. Hay, this is life. I have so much plans, like having another domain plus hosting for my ahm whatever.

Goodbye shortstat… I am still waiting for jaypee’s review about the other plugin…

To Modify or Start from Scratch?

I’ve been browsing wordpress themes for sometime now during my free time trying to look for my “ideal theme.” I know there are a lot of themes out there but I’m not satisfied even if its uber cool theme. I found out that there are some factors that we should consider in choosing our ideal theme.

• 1. Purpose

First thing that comes to my mind when choosing a theme is “what is my purpose?” Am I going to use it for just a blog? What are the plug-ins and extras that I’m going to include there?

• 2. Column

How many columns I want? Do I need 2, 3, or 4 columns? Yeah I also like that uber cool thing called bottom bar.

For bloggers who aren’t really a web designer, changing those themes would be very difficult. So choose what you really need. Other wordpress theme gives you an option whether you want your sidebar on the left or right so no more worries.

• 3. Color

I really don’t consider the color at all because you can easily alter them but for those who don’t have enough knowledge in modifying a theme, then you should choose the right color for your blog.

Well I do find a lot of nice themes but again, I’m not satisfied because they aren’t made specifically for my blog. I want this and that but this theme doesn’t have that and it’s so complex I couldn’t even modify it. The last thing that I’m considering right now is to start from scratch. Yep, no more kubrick and hemingway themes to modify. I’ll create my own theme that would satisfy me and be my ideal theme but that would take time because of my thesis.

My question again is whether to modify a theme or start from scratch, what do you think?
