[WordPress] redefining the default calendar
So I had a customer that needed a very interesting change in their default calendar. It’s really two parts and I’ll show you how I overcame both. Normally I would write a plugin myself, but being that the customer is trying to stick to a budget I decided to find one, unfortunately it only did half the job.
New WordPress Theme
Once again it was time to change my theme and shake things up. This time I went for something a little more simple that I can build upon. This theme is called “Pride” by Wpdesigner. I have already begun altering it and will continue to do so until I get that warm fuzzy feeling that let’s me know it’s perfect. Speaking of which, I really like this theme it’s clean and effective. I didn’t like the 3 column theme so I removed the middle column and expanded the left one. The colors are smooth and the curvy sidebar is a nice touch.
While I’m at it I’ll probably be changing a lot of other things around. I want to find a way to make this blog more useful, not only to me but also to other participants. If you have any ideas let me know in a comment.
Peace!
[WordPress] Fatal Error in file.php
When trying to use automatic installation and updating of plugins you get a blank screen and your logs show an error such as this:
1 | PHP Fatal error: Cannot use assign-op operators with overloaded objects nor string offsets in /somedirectory/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 688, referer: http://somedomain.com/wp-admin/plugins.php |
, then most likely your or your host moved your site without updating wordpress.
Never fear as there is an easy fix. Open up your database GUI, such as PHPMyadmin and goto the wp_options table. Then find the row that has “ftp_credentials” as the option_name, click to edit the value.
