So I got this error which is cauing me losing a lot of time, but was finally solved.
What I did was to delete the auto drafts by login into phpMyAdmin and pull up the WordPress database you’re using.
Then go to the posts table, sort on post_status, and all the auto-drafts will come to the top for ease of deletion. Remove those posts and voila, the add new post button is working fine now.
Today, I was trying to troubleshoot the problem with my http://711go.com domain to find out why googlebot not crawling my site after I have migrated to wordpress engine.
I went to the http://www.whitehatblackbelt.com community to voice out my concern and a member was suggesting I have my robot file screw up. Just when I wanted to checkout my robot file, I was unable to FTP to the server nor using the File Manager in the cpanel.
Apparently, the hosting company is upgrading their FTP servers and they said it is inevitably a slow process. Since morning it was 20% completion until now, the status is 70% completion, guess I will need to wait until tomorrow to check out on my robot file.
But I am really pleased to have support from the whitehatblackbelt community
I have undertaken the revamp project of the http://711go.com domain as the need of a fresh look and more interactive site.
There were a few strategies in hand to do this. Direct cut-over, parallel and redirection. The direct phase in was the choice as it is fast and simpler but more riskier.
There were couple of things happened in the process of revamp, and there were serious problems too. Some of the files and directories identified as being constructed by website builder (build-in with the webhosting control panel) were removed to give way to the wordpress engine were having some problem.
As soon as I removed the files I believed was created by the website builder, the host login and control panel were having problem. I was not knowing why and what’s wrong, so luckily I made a backup and I restored all the files back, and things were ok again.
Soon after I was planning to do it differently. This time I move the root directory files to a folder I made just in case I need to put it back. I moved it and test out if the host control panel was alright. Then I slowly clear one by one of the directory to make sure I know which one was exactly causing the problem.
To my amazement it was alright. So after clearing everything, I went to proceed with the wordpress engine uploading to the root directory after I updated the parameters in the wp-config.php file. For detail instructions on wordpress installation, go Click Here (you may opt for free course, she made the technical installation easy to understand) or find out about wordpress setup related posts here
Next after I did some of the setups, I went to control panel, and it was timed out, so I had to relogin, but what happened was I failed to access to the control panel again. I thought I had the same problem again and was so tired to restore everything and redo the whole process again.
But I thought to myself it must not be due to removing the web builder files, so I went to clear cookies, restarted the browser, and luckily everything was working alright.
It was a lesson, anyway, I got a lot of things to setup for this site. Until next post, thanks for reading
Just happened this morning when I access to my wordpress dashboard, I have been prompted to upgrade my wordpress engine from 2.8.4 to 2.8.5. Initially when I tried to do it automatically, I failed due to some access issue. So I shelf the idea of upgrading it.
But, later, I check about what are the updates in the 2.8.5, and it is saying about security loopholes in 2.8.4 where hacker can gain advantage to put in whatever codes into your website for their advantage.
Since I can’t upgrade it automatically, I’m forced to do it manually. At the top of your wordpress editing beach, there’s a phrase ‘WordPress 2.8.5 is available! Please update now.’ , I pressed the ‘Please update now’ link.
Next, you have the option to install automatically or manually. I do not have the luxury of installing it automatically as I failed the authentication when it was asking for the hostname, username and password.
Thus, I was clicking the manual option, and I was forwarded to a webpage to download the latest version 2.8.5
The zip file is about 2.2MB, and I extract the zip file and saved into a \temp directory.
In the end, all the wordpress files are extracted to \temp\wordpress.
I use Filezilla to transfer the files to my hosting server. See screenshot below :
Make sure the local site path ( /temp/wordpress/ )and remote site path ( /public_html/ ) or ( /htdocs/ ) depending on your hosting root are correct. Highlights all the content in the \wordpress folder and right click , choose Upload as shown below:
If prompted to overwrite, just enter to overwrite. And you are done. Once you go into your wordpress bench, the upgrade message will be gone.

Today, I have been busy reviewing Premium Wordpress Themes just to find out what are the differences between free and paid themes.
It’s not just about how much it cost, it’s whether worth the money, the features and usabilities. I need to know about the style and whether the theme fit my personality.
Besides that, I also need to think about how it could fit into current theme I am having and also the current setup that I am having now.
The thing I worry about is, will all my hardworks to setup the plugins and widgets get undone when I install new theme.
Ok, so I summarized the below considerations :
1. Cost
2. SEO functions
3. Number of columns
4. Color scheme
5. Destroy current setting?
6. How much damage if destroy previous settings?
7. Efficiency of loading webpage, fast loading?
8. Support
9. Ease of upgrade and update patches
10. Widgets affected?
11. Plugins affected?
There are just so many questions and answers which I will further find out tomorrow. before too long, I will be having a brand new theme which will suit my style and my personality.
