Uploading Files Fast Quick Tip
Sep 28th
When you are regularly blogging online, you may need some stuff to upload to your site time to time.
Like a plug-in which needs to be installed manually. You need to FTP the files of that plug-in to the plugins’ directory before you can activate it.
Here is a quick tip to save your time and frustration:
Where possible upload .zip file and then Unzip on the server!
This will save you 75% time of uploading and 99% time of brain work & tension. Because it is always easier to upload one file (no matter what size) than to upload many many tiny files.
Also in case of interruption you do not need to worry what file is done and what needs to be re-uploaded..as you are dealing with just ONE file it is easier to manage.
That is for today a Quick tip

WordPress as CMS Pages RSS Feeds
Sep 6th
More and more clients are demanding to have their site backend built on WordPress. They want to use WordPress but they do not want to use it as a blog but CMS or a Niche site.
To make a wordpress powered site look like a Content website and not just a blog, and also to make it work like a CMS, we add permanent content into Pages (instead of posts). This works great but there is a problem…
Problem is that by default WordPress does not generate RSS feeds from pages. To really benefit from this technology we need to have pages content also included into RSS feeds.
We solved this problem by installing a simple plugin available for this called RSS Include Pages.
I suggest you to install this plugin if your most of the content is in the form of Pages instead of posts in wordpress powered website.

Mohsin
MySQL-Front What a Great Tool
Sep 6th
Hi,
For local development and coding I use WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP) at my laptop and it is really great to do coding while disconnected from wide wide wild internet.
I use PhpMYAdmin to access MySQL db from localhost but just recently i was introduced with a Desktop Program named MySQL-Front to access MySQL db and much operations fast!
Shahzad my close friend just left today, for last two days he was with me at my dorm room + office. Wow what a learning experience to spend time with this senior developer. He has introduced this tool and I have downloaded their trail version and i am already having fun with it.
Another great development tool to add in my growing development tools collection!
Google Chrome Browser Background Problem
Jun 20th
Today I was working on a new wordpress theme and I discovered this Error/Bug in Google Chrome. What is the bug? Well it would not show the background of the body properly.
Every other browser like Firefox and I.E will show the background fine, but Chrome will show no background, or simple plane white color. While I used built in Element Inspect tool in Chrome, I see there it has applied blank background. I searched the Web, and found many fixes, but this is what worked for me:
Simple add to your CSS stylesheet this line:
html{ height: 100%;}
Also you may replace your Body tag, with Html,Body i.e.
Body
{some css here}will become
Html,Body
{same CSS here.}
Hope this saves you some time and solve your problem.

Quick Fix for WordPress Duplicate Content
Jun 16th
Most of the time new bloggers make this mistake. They have set their wordpress show full posts at their homepage, category pages and archive pages. It should not be the case, as this creates duplicate pages with same content on your website or blog which is powered by WordPress.
For SEO purposes and user friendliness, it should be set to show only summary or excerpts of posts at every pages except their own page or post page. That is there should be only one page at your blog or website which does have full orignal text, and all other pages should only show excerpt and link to that page.
This will help you have a great webpage with genuine content and many many internal and external incoming links to that page with anchor text in links. And this is surely going to rank your that page higher and higher for the related keywords targeted in that post.
So onward ask your webmaster or theme designer to set all home.php, index.php, category.php, arhive.php or any other template pages of WordPress theme to show only Excerpts of the posts, and only single.php, page.php show their full content. If you do want to do it yourself, look for DIY guide at my PressGold’s WordPress Blog for a detailed technical information related to this issue and fix. Also you can outsource this fix to my team at WarMarks.com if you do hate doing technical stuff yourself

How to Delete All Those Spam Comments
Sep 26th
Posted by Mohsin Rasool in Comment Spam
No comments
This is very risky to leave your WordPress blog open for all comment spam without adding any anti comment spam plugins.
This was the case with the blog which a client of us have, it had about 4000 spam comments, and it was going to take ages to delete them all from WordPress dashboard. So they came to us for the help.
We deleted all those about 4000 spam comment using little query operation at database level from phpmyadmin. I want to share the same process with you.
1. You need to login to your hosting panel and access PhpMyAdmin to access your database for that blog.
2. When you are there, select your blog’s database and then click SQL tab and run the following query:
DELETE FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_approved = 0
3. Wow within milliseconds all spam comment junk is gone.
Deleted rows: 3994 (Query took 0.1472 sec)
Now go to your wordpress blog and see all pending(spam) comments are gone. Now you please add some anti spam plugins to stop this thing happening again. I recommend you activate built-in plugin for comment spam called akismet. And add any other anti spam plugin you may like.
