WordPress – The Pros and Cons of Hosting Your Website on the WordPress Site

Thursday, April 28th, 2011

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) April 22, 2011 –

Currently being an person-pleasant internet answer for any web site or blog, WordPress can be set up and made use of equally by newbies and sophisticated users. Installation approach is simple and requires about 10-fifteen minutes. The only thing that you need to know is how to create a MySQL database or consult your hosting provider to make a person for you. Then merely download the hottest WordPress version or the required one from WordPress.org, unpack it and upload to the server. Start off the installation and go via easy measures. You will see that it is straightforward even for rookies. Or else, just consult your WordPress hosting supplier to set up it for you. Surely, they will do this with great enjoyment and, in most conditions, at no further cost.

Hosting with pre-installed WordPress

Not everyone has the time, need and option to put into action the system’s set up, to figure out the way plug-ins will work and search for extra templates. Immediately after all, there is a amount of hosting companies supplying their companies along with pre-set up WordPress CMS. This may save you from several (in some cases fascinating), but time-consuming movements.

WordPress is a well-liked title when it arrives to blogging. By the time blogging begins a long time in the past, WordPress is 1 of the names that have emerged and have made it additional common. If just before, weblogs are just employed to express oneself, this time, weblogs are by now applied for tiny scale organizations and some people even earn a good deal of revenue just by posting blogs. Soon after quite a few a long time, WordPress has ventured out to other more worthwhile schemes other than staying simply a website area, WordPress hosting is presently commencing to attain a good popularity for all those who want to go over and above posting blogs and to publish their sites for their firms.

Why will need to you opt to go for WordPress hosting? World-wide-web hosting provided by WordPress in fact delivers a wide variety of possibilities relying on your requirements. If you have a little scale business, then you can opt to go for their most inexpensive hosting providers but if you have a even bigger organization and if you want to get earnings more rapidly, you can consider out the more high-priced possibilities. In comparison to just simply placing up a website for free, obtaining a website hosted by WordPress can actually have additional positive aspects than all those that are for cost-free. Even if you’re paying out all over $4 per month, you can have your web page that has its individual domain title. It’s actually necessary to have a personalized domain title that is not involved with any internet hosting suppliers since it offers an impression that you have a significant and secure corporation. This is what sets WordPress apart from the frequent blog page web pages or internet hosting suppliers that provide their solutions for totally free. In addition to, WordPress doesn’t definitely consult for a greater cost for its net hosting expert services.

Apart from a domain name, you can also have other perks from WordPress hosting like acquiring a trusted accessibility and a big net area that you can maximize for your business.

WordPress Content Spinner Plugin – SEO WordSpinner

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

seodenver.com

There are a lot of content spinners out there (I won’t even bother linking to them, most are for spamming, not for SEO). The existing products allow you mass-export articles then submit them across content networks to build links using spammy articles. That is not what this plugin does. This plugin allows you to enhance your site’s SEO by reducing duplicate content.

Google has been improving its handling of duplicate content by implementing use of the canonical tag and updating its algorithm. They don’t punish a site for duplicate content, but having unique content is still better than duplicate content.

Different content in different context

Each category page
Each tag page
Any search result page
And this single article page
Each of those pages will show the full content or an excerpt (summary) of the content on this page. Each will show a title for this article. The SEO WordSpinner plugin allows you to mix things up so that on each page, users will see different content that means the same thing, therefore avoiding duplicate content issues if done properly.

Keeping spins predictable

The SEO WordSpinner plugin has an option to show the same content in the same context in a predictable manner. This is a setting in the plugin (“Make Spins Predictable by Default”). This means that when viewed on a separate tag, archive, search, or single page, the spun content will display the same way.

This global setting can also be modified on a per-post or per-page basis by adding the SEOSpinPredictable Custom Field to the post with a value of “true” or “false”. This allows you to change the settings on a per-post basis. This post has SEOSpinPredictable set as true, which is why refreshing changes the content.

Spin your META tags…All in One SEO Pack-Compatible

One of the neat features of this plugin is that there is a setting to have your title and meta tags spun. This allows you to vary the post title, the title tag, and the meta tags separately, allowing you to include variations in the most important parts of your page’s content.

Using the SEO WordSpinner Plugin

Using the following settings:

Split Character: |
Start Character(s): {
End Character(s): }
An example content spin:

This is a {an example|a demonstration|a demo|a test} of the powers of content spinning

Could produce the following spun variations:

This is an example of the powers of content spinning
This is a demonstration of the powers of content spinning
This is a demo of the powers of content spinning
This is a test of the powers of content spinning
In order for search engines to not consider your content duplicate, you need to change your text more than the text above. The example above is for demonstration purposes only.

Would you like a person to demonstrate how this works?

Text used above: {Do you want|Would you like} {me|us|a person} to {test|demonstrate|show you} how this works?

It works for Links, too.

How to deal with WordPress plugin problems

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

Jeff Kemp / examiner.com

Advice to Solve a Recent Plugin Problem
A recent visitor to my website (www.MileHighTechGuy.com) asked for some advice on dealing with a WordPress problem they were having, stating that they weren’t ‘savvy’ in these matters. The problem they were having was a WordPress plugin was causing an error and actually locking them out of the WordPress Admin screen so that they could not login to fix the problem!

I haven’t written any articles in a while, but that comment inspired me and thus resulted in this post, which is a summary of How To Deal With Plugin Problems in hopes that it helps some folks out there. If this post helps you please let me know by leaving a comment on this site.

Plugins Don’t Always Play Nice
It is important to note that not all plugins ‘play nice’ by working together with other plugins or themes. When plugins don’t work well with other plugins or themes you have a ‘plugin conflict’.

WordPress plugins can often ‘throw errors’ or cause conflicts with other plugins or themes since they are made by many different 3rd parties.

If an error or problem does occur on your WordPress site it typically happens after upgrading, installing, or activating a new plugin or theme, or upgrading the WordPress platform itself.

After activating or upgrading a plugin within WordPress, it is not uncommon for WordPress to display an error like the following somewhere on your Admin screen or sometimes even within your website:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_site_admin() in /home/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/my-plugin-folder/my-plugin-page.php on line 195

But even if a plugin doesn’t throw an error that doesn’t necessarily mean that everything is OK. You still may have a conflict with another plugin or possibly your WordPress theme that may be ‘breaking’ your website by causing other plugins or functionality to stop working properly.

Always Test Your Website After Any Upgrades or Changes
It may be very obvious or maybe not so obvious that other functions of your website aren’t working properly, so…

It is very important and highly recommended that after upgrading, installing, or activating a new plugin or theme (or making any other changes to your website or theme templates) that you take the time to experiment with and thoroughly test your website and even your Admin screens to make sure that your site (and backend) still looks and functions as it should.

How To Test for Problems with Your Website
The best way to verify that your site is working as it should is to keep another browser window (Control+N) or browser tab open (Control+T) to your website, then start clicking around your web pages and links while carefully observing how things look.

While browsing pages of your website make sure you refresh each page by using Control+R (Windows) or Command+R (Mac) to be sure you are not looking at an older cached page. To be really sure you are not looking at a cached page you can force a full page refresh by using Control+Shift+R (Windows) or Command+Shift+R (Mac). This takes a little longer to reload each page, but if you aren’t sure you are looking at a fresh reloaded page this is sometimes necessary.

Dealing with Plugin Errors and Plugin Conflicts

Try Deactivating Plugins
Sometimes problems caused by plugin errors or plugin conflicts are not ‘show stoppers’ and will allow you to continue using your WordPress website without any significant functionality problems.

If after activating or upgrading a plugin and you get an error, one way to test to see if it is OK for you to leave a plugin activated try going back one screen (Alt+Left Arrow (PC) or Command+Left Arrow (Mac)) from the plugin screen, then refresh the page to see if the error message goes away.

In this case if the error message goes away and it looks like the plugin is installed and activated (even if you received an error saying the plugin did not activate successfully), you are probably OK to leave that plugin activated, if not you probably want to deactivate or delete the plugin. (If it looks like the plugin activated OK but the upgrade or install caused an error it may be that the installation script threw an error, but maybe the plugin will still work. It is up to you at that point to take a chance by leaving the plugin activated/installed or not).

But on some occasions a plugin error or conflict can break your website or even lock you out of your Admin Dashboard when trying to login.

If this happens, don’t panic… since we are talking about WordPress there is an easy solution to get your website working again!

What should you do if you are having problems with a plugin? In an effort to diagnose and fix the problem with your website the first thing to try is to deactivate any plugin that you recently upgraded, installed, or activated (you may also want to deactivate other plugins as well, even if not recently upgraded or activated). Of course if your plugin won’t even allow you to login to the Admin screen then deactivating plugins is not an option.

If you recently changed themes you can also try reverting to the default WordPress theme (“Kubrick”) for testing purposes. If it isn’t obvious that your problem went away you may need to once again test your website to see if it is working properly or not.

If you can’t narrow down which plugin is causing the problems and your site is still broken (it could even be a plugin that has been installed and working properly for a while until something else changed), continue deactivating plugins (and possibly revert to the default WordPress theme for de-bugging purposes) until you can identify the culprit.

Delete the Offending Plugin
Once you have identified which plugin is causing misery in your life, and if deactivating the conflicting plugin did not fix your problem, the next step you should take is to DELETE the offending plugin entirely. Deleting a plugin may sound radical, but it is a step I have had to take several times, and it always works (thank you, WordPress). This may be the only option you have if you are locked out of your Admin login.

The best way to delete the plugin is by deleting the whole folder that the plugin created within your plugin directory on the remote server. To access remote files you can use the File Manager within the Control Panel available within your web host, or you can use an FTP client to access the remote files on the server in order to delete the offending plugin.

There are many FTP clients available, some of them even free (search Google if you need more):

FileZilla
CyberDuck
Coda (Mac)
CuteFTP
SmartFTP
Dreamweaver
Advertisement

The path to your plugin folder on the remote server will look something like this:

public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/my-plugin-folder-name/

Once you have deleted the entire plugin folder then logging into Admin should work fine. Gratefully, WordPress responds to deleted plugins very well…if you are on the plugins screen you will see a note displayed at the top of the screen notifying you that a plugin has been deleted, and amazingly WordPress works just fine after deleting a plugin.

Since WordPress handles deleting plugins so gracefully WordPress makes it easy to want to constantly experiment with more plugins to add more functionality to your website. So go ahead and play around with plugins and themes, just be sure to backup your site now and then for safe measure.

Live Without the Offending Plugin
If you have a plugin that just won’t cooperate, you probably have to live without the offending plugin, or at least maybe until the plugin author releases an upgrade that works for you.

You may want to send a note with any error messages or problems you are having with a particular plugin or theme to the comment form of the author’s homepage to expedite resolution to the error or conflict.

If the plugin offers functionality that I feel I really can’t live without, or it was a plugin that worked for a while then stopped working after a recent upgrade, I will sometimes leave the plugin ‘installed’, but NOT ‘activate’ it.

The benefit of this arrangement (leaving a plugin ‘installed’, but NOT ‘activated’ ) is that as long as an offending plugin is not activated it usually will not break your site, and you get the benefit of WordPress telling you when an upgrade to the plugin is available (via notification next to the plugin within the plugin screen) in the event you want to give it another go in hopes that the upgrade solves the problem you were having before.

Of course, you may find that the problem persists even with the latest plugin release, in which case you have to to through the whole cycle of things again that I already mentioned in order to alleviate the problem.

Still Getting Errors When Upgrading or Installing Plugins?
If you continue to get errors every time you attempt to install a plugin, check to see if the error is related to a memory limit issue having to do with WordPress. In this case the error may look something like:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1816813 bytes) in /home/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 499

Try changing the configuration value for your WordPress database memory allocation within the wp-settings.php file within the root directory of your WordPress install.

Find the line of code that looks like this:

define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);

And change the 64M to 128M. When I had this problem I adjusted the memory limit from 64M to 128M, and it solved my problem so that I was able to install plugins without any issues.

Shameless Plug: I Can Provide Low Cost Websites with Plugins that Work Together
Now it’s time for a shameless plug:

Tired of spending hours and hours researching which plugins to use, and struggling to get them to work the way you want?

Cheers, I hope this article has helped someone. Please let me know if it has helped you or if you have anything to add by leaving a comment on this site.

The WordPress Users Association Opens to the Public

Friday, March 18th, 2011

wpua.org

Dallas, Texas – Dec 1, 2010 – The WordPress Users Association is leaving private invite only status and opening to the public as of Wednesday, Dec 1st, 2010 at 10:00 am CST. Anyone interested in WordPress or perfecting their blogging skills now has the opportunity to join WPUA.org, without the need for an invitation from a current member. Today it is possible to join this elite and fast growing community and take advantage of the many benefits the WordPress Users Association has to offer its members.
WordPress, developed by Matt Mullenweg and team at Automatic, Inc., released for the first time in May of 2003. WordPress is considered an open source Content Management System (CMS) used most often for blog publishing and powers some of the Internet’s most popular blogs. WordPress has millions and millions of users the world over and the current version (3.0) has been downloaded more than 12.5 million times in just a few months.
WordPress is the most used publishing platform today and thankfully John Pozadzides (“John P”) and Wesley W. Williams realized that despite being so popular there are still many people that simply do not understand how to use WordPress correctly or to its full potential so they created this independent user association – WPUA.org.
According to John P, the President of the Association, “there are other resources out there like the WordPress.org discussion forums which are loaded with technical questions and answers but what we haven’t had is a central place to come together as a community and swap war stories, combine resources, and focus on all of the over-arching issues that such a large group of users will invariably face and that’s why we created the WordPress Users Association.”
The WordPress Users Association goal is to help all users of WordPress, regardless of their technical skill set, blogging experience or geographical location – connect, learn and share the power of WordPress.
On review, prospective members will see that the WUPA does more than just offer articles and tutorials. In fact, members have access to the latest industry news, tools, certifications and more. The point of the WUPA is to teach members exactly how to use WordPress so they can take advantage of all it has to offer. Wesley W. Williams, the President of Member Services, said “the main objective of the WPUA is to help all members learn, master and succeed using WordPress while providing a place to connect with others and offer a collective voice to a vast and quickly growing community”.
With today’s unveiling, there are three different levels of membership being offered: Basic, Premium and Corporate Sponsor. The Basic membership, normally $97 a year, is free and offers a number of excellent benefits that you would typically pay for. The Premium level is discounted by 50% from $197 a year to $97 a year and includes more benefits than the Basic level membership. Then there is the Corporate Sponsor level. This level provides members with absolutely everything that WUPA has to offer and is discounted by 50% during this introduction period. Right now the membership price is $197 per year. The Premium and Corporate Sponsor levels offer monthly payment options to make it easy for anyone to join at the highest level possible.
All members are included in a growing directory with Premium and Corporate level members getting enhanced listings and priority rankings. Like the Directory, all members will receive the Blogging and New Media Report – an exclusive online, member-only, magazine that covers absolutely everything that has to do with WordPress, blogging, and new media issues.
For the experienced WordPress user looking to get the extra edge over the competition the WordPress User Association offers discounts on many popular themes, Plugins and other WordPress tools. Helping WPUA members save money is a major goal for Wesley, “We all purchase or use premium level blogging services and my goal is to use the collective purchasing power of the Association to secure discounts and other benefits for our members”.
Not only are there discounts and special offers inside WPUA but members can achieve levels of certifications from the Association based on their ability to help other members. Having a Certification from the WordPress Users Association designating a member as a “Pro” or “Expert” level user will surely help a WordPress professional or WordPress development company further their business.”

John P said of his vision that, “If you’re like me and you can envision an association where all WordPress users can share ideas, help one another, and work towards a common set of goals then I ask you to join the WPUA and help us refine and further our mission”.

Save Coding Time by Creating Special-Case Categories in WordPress

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

When you would use excluded categories:

seodenver.com

When using WordPress as more of a content management system (CMS) than a blogging platform, there are many things that you need control over. One of them is special-case categories.

Frequently asked questions
Testimonials
Case studies
Press releases
When you have a category of posts that you don’t want to have comments, publishing dates, post author, etc., you can define a list of excluded categories. In most cases, you should use Category Templates to achieve this functionality, but that is not always practical or the best option.

If you use the ACE plugin

I use the Advanced Category Excluder Plugin for nearly every WordPress installation I work with. That being said, there is always custom functionality that needs to find out what categories are being excluded by the plugin. Instead of hard-coding the Excluded categories, you can use this function (in your theme’s functions.php file, or Thesis Theme’s custom_functions.php file) to find out what categories are being excluded:

global $kws_exclude;
$kws_exclude = excluded_categories();
function excluded_categories($type=’array’) {
global $wpdb, $wp_query, $ace_targets;
if (is_array($ace_targets) && get_option(“ace_settings_hide”))
{
foreach ($ace_targets as $key=>$val)
{
if (!empty($wp_query->$key) && $wp_query->$key == 1) $filter = $key;
}
$cats_to_exclude = get_option(“ace_categories_”.$filter);
}
if(strtolower($type) == ‘array’) { $cats_to_exclude = explode(‘,’, $cats_to_exclude); }
return $cats_to_exclude;
}
If you want to hard-code excluded categories

If you don’t use the Advanced Category Excluder plugin, or simply want to use this functionality in a different way, here’s how to hard-code (manually define) the categories to exclude. Add this code to your functions.php file.

global $exclude;
$exclude = array();
$excludes = get_categories(‘child_of=10′); // Exclude sub-categories of a specific category (in this case, 10)
$excludes2 = get_categories(’8′); // Exclude a specific category (in this case,
$excludeList = array_merge($excludes, $excludes2); // Combine the two excludes
foreach($excludeList as $e) { $exclude[] = $e->cat_ID; } // Build the master list of excludes
Great, now what?

Then, when you want to find out if the post or category is excluded in another function, you do this:

function any_function_you_are_working_with() {
global $exclude; // make sure to add this
if(is_category($exclude) || in_category($exclude)) {
// If the post or category is, or is in an excluded category, do this
} else {
// If not, do this
}
}
This way, you can customize how content appears based on whether it’s an excluded category (removing comment forms, date/time, etc…).

How to Use WordPress for Small Business

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011

PRLog (Press Release) – Feb 28, 2011 – How to Use WordPress for Small Business: Lets first take a look at WordPress competitors.

The competition against WordPress are Blogger, Posterous, Tumblr, TypePad, and Movable Type are well known blogging software options in the blogosphere. The popular Google blogging site, Blogger , is for blogging only and cannot be hosted anywhere else, but you do have the ability to have your own domain name. Blogger is extremely basic, free, and perfect for beginners to get started blogging, but not a good choice for creating a full featured site for your small business.

Posterous, is one of the newest free blogging platforms that launched July 2008. Posterous works primarily by submitting blog post via email, it’s very easy to use, but it offers zero customization, which is not a good thing for most small businesses.

Tumblr was launched in 2007, offering a unique spin on blogging by allowing users to post via email, phone, or desktop. One of the major disadvantage of using Tumblr is that it does not have a default built in commenting system like WordPress. For this reason Tumblr is not the best option for any small business trying to communicate with there customers.

TypePad costs $29.95 a month, which is needed in order to customize the website, so it doesn’t look like a standard blog. If you need to do advance customization you will need to learn the special TypePad programming language to make these changes.

Movable Type is another choice for your website or blog. Movable Type is also a fully content management system like WordPress.org. In order to use Movable Type for business requires a license fee which ranges between $99-$1000.
WordPress was released in 2003 by Matt Mullenweg. WordPress is the successor of b2, which was found by Michel Valdrighi. When development was stopped on b2, developers Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little, got together and created WordPress.

WordPress has become the preferred choice for website and blog development because of the ease of use and quick installation process, PLUS it’s free. Some of the biggest name brands in the world use WordPress for their business website, making it one of the most popular CMS and blogging software in the world.

So why do we love WordPress for our clients:

WordPress is free!
WordPress is open source
WordPress can be used for blogging or full website cms and development.
WordPress is optimized for SEO
WordPress has thousands of extensions (plugins).
WordPress has a massive supportive community.
WordPress allows multiple users per site.
WordPress is easy to update.
WordPress is our No. 1 pick for our own websites and for our customers as well. Even though WordPress is quick and easy to use, website development can still be time consuming. Also keep in mind that WordPress cannot be used for every situation. There are some projects that might require other solutions.

Here at Quixli we have made it our goal to help small businesses get started with WordPress instantly. Besides providing powerful hosting features for our clients, we have also created a one-stop shop environment for small business to get everything they need to make an impact online.

WordPress E-Commerce Users Get Massive USPS Shipping Upgrade

Friday, January 28th, 2011

by Sarah Gooding | 24 January, 2011 | Published by wpmu.org

Due to changes in the USPS API early this year, many sites with shopping carts have had to update their shipping code. WP E-commerce is one of the more popular plugins for WordPress users and thousands of sites are selling with it. The GetShopped.org team has been working on an Advanced Shipping Plugin for WP E-Commerce which will be integrated into version 3.8 / 3.9 depending on time constraints. They’ve re-written the entire USPS shipping integration.

An Advanced Shipping Plugin v 0.3.0 – Beta 1 is available now, but don’t upgrade unless you’ve already made a backup of your site. If you’re having problems with you USPS then give this beta a try. Download the free Advanced Shipping Plugin from their site and make sure to check out some of the differences and new features before testing.
