I have upgraded my WordPress to version 2.8.4 few weeks ago. Didn’t notice any different at that time until found a big big problem few days back.

The post visual editor totally disappeared! Even the content loss after save draft. I thought was due to slow internet connection or bad server performance.

On the next day when I check back, it is still the same. I know something is not right. Check other blogs and found no problem. So the only root cause I can think of is its WordPress version.

Tweak WordPress Config File

Search many help on Internet but useless. Except one is really working. What I did is just add the code below into wp-config.php, somewhere near the top or middle but not at bottom. (more…)

Migrated my wife’s blog to my web hosting successfully, finally. I hate migrate blog, is a tedious and troublesome job. Hope this is the last time!

I used WordPress Export and Import method. It is the easiest way.

Too Large to Import

Unfortunately, the exported file 10.9MB cannot be import back. My web hosting only accept WXR file up to 8MB.

Of course easiest way is to change upload_max_filesize value in php.ini settings file. Need administrator access to change the setting. Since I’m not on dedicated server, have to use another workaround. (more…)

Tired of manage WordPress comments? We know it is inconvenient to refresh the comment page to check for new comment from time to time.

Since it is still early version, it has only basic features:

• Viewing unmoderated comments.
• Dock and system tray notifications of the number of unmoderated comments.
• Accept, delete, and spam comments from within the desktop client.
• Close application window, or minimize it to the system tray while running.
• Shows the Gravatar icons for the user who posted the comment.

You must have WordPress 2.6+ and Adobe AIR 1.1 to run Moderator. (more…)
