How to remove raquo; from wordpress title.Filed Under: php Programming, Tips and tricks, Wordpress

Oh there are two methods to remove raquo; from the title of wordpress posts.

Instead of wp_title() in your theme’s header file (header.php) put echo wp_title(”,true);

This method is the easiest one to do, it just strips off the raquo; inserted by wordpress.

Second method is to find that particular file in wp-includes thats inserting raquo; into title and removing raquo; from it. I have done it in previous versions of wordpress ( haven’t tried in 2.7) and feeling bit lazy to search for it. Hakuna matata as long as first one serves my purpose.

Second one is really an elegant way, try it yourself in your free time. Post a comment if you can spare minutes to tell others.

How to show more than 15 posts in wordpress admin’s edit postsFiled Under: Tips and tricks, Wordpress

Find the line

wp(“post_type=post&what_to_show=posts$post_status_q&posts_per_page=15&order=$order&orderby=$orderby”);

Its 805th line in wordpress 2.7, line number might be different in different versions, so better find (CTRL+F) the line of code above in wp-admin/includes/post.php

Replace 15 in posts_per_page=15 by some higher number you wish, Lets say 50, the code code after change must look like this

wp(“post_type=post&what_to_show=posts$post_status_q&posts_per_page=50&order=$order&orderby=$orderby”);

Language encoding problem for Greek/Arabic/Russian contentFiled Under: Tips and tricks

While retrieving Greek/ Arabic/ Russian language or some other non english character data from database there is possibility that the data may appear as question marks (??????) instead of the original data, Usually you will be having data in its original language neatly stored in database, but for some strange reasons php is displaying it as ?????? when queried.

This problem actually happens because you have not explicitly mentioned the character set inside your php code. Here are two things you must do to solve your problem.

Put this meta tag inside head tags
<head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html" charset="utf-8" /> </head>

Use mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'"); before the query to databasemysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
$new_database_content=mysql_query("select * from (….) where (….) ");

Solution to “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page”Filed Under: Random facts

You are getting the error message “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” mostly becasue you changed the prefix of your wordpress database tables. This solution won’t solve your problem if you had this problem because of failure in upgrading to a new version. If you

Solution is actually simple and the only thing you should know is to use “Database Administration Tool” like “PHPMYADMIN” ( most used ).

Solution is in 3 steps.

Click on table [yournewprefix]_options update the option_name [youroldprefix]_user_rolesuser to [yournewprefix]_user_rolesuser . ( How to do it: Login to your PhpMyAdmin click on table [yournewprefix]_options click browse find the option_name [youroldprefix]_user_rolesuser which has got option_id 77 (in wordpress 2.6) since by default Phpmyadmin shows ony 30 items you need to press next ( a buttonÂ with rightward arrow)
Click on table [yournewprefix]_usermeta update the meta_keys
[youroldprefix]_capabilities
[youroldprefix]_user_level
[youroldprefix]_autosave_draft_ids
to

[yournewprefix]_capabilities
[yournewprefix]_user_level
[yournewprefix]_autosave_draft_ids.
The prefix inÂ wp-config.php ( eg: wp_ ) should be same as yournewprefix. (If you don’t change this wordpress thinks you are trying to upgrade, Don’t upgrade .! just change this. )

If it doesn’t work please post a comment explaining what you did and what happened, I’ll try to help you.

Note: If you are getting this error as you changed table prefix then it definitely has an easy solution, don’t try to upgrade or reinstall, you might end up wasting time and content. You just need to look into some database items that are not updated when you changed prefix, Update them to your new prefix. This problem for any version is solvable as far as I know.

2 ways to delete symlinks and ways it can’t be deleted.Filed Under: Tips and tricks

Symlinks ( symbolic links / soft links ) are the shortcuts to another file or directory, Here I’m referring to the symlinks that you usually see in a FTP account ( not to be confused with the shortcuts used in a PC ).

You can not usually delete symlinks by

Using control panel provided by your host.
Using internet explorer to accesss ftp account.
Using a random ftp client that only supports ftp.
Changing file permission (eg: changing toÂ 777 ) and trying to delete.

How to delete symlinks

Use a proper ftp client software that supports SFTP/SSH mode file transfer. Use Winscp or filezilla . I have tried winscp and mostly filezilla too works in sftp mode.
Use shell commands to remove the symlink,Â eg 1: use “rm /www/public_html/~folder_name” instead of “rm ~folder_name” to delete the file along with the folder. eg2: use “unlink symbolic-link” .

Once you remove Symlinks it will be easy to delete the containing folder, try it.

Top 17 torrent sites based on their quality of UIFiled Under: Top x list

This lis is not made in a minute, This list was made considering the size, quality and the trust these sites have gained in torrent search engines.

Torrentz.com

At torrentz they don’t host torrent files, Its the best torrentz search engine available. The best thing about torrentz is that they list torrent sources from the top 10 torrent sites and hence more options.
Alexa Rank:144 Compete Rank:2432 PR:6 estimated visitors/day ( compete ) :6,77,093

Mininova.com

Mininova is the best torrent site on net as on this date. Good thing about mininova is that its seed peer ratio can not be altered too easily, hence you get good speed ( If you are a torrents freak you might know that high seed / peer ratio will result in good speed. )

Since its the largest site many computers will be plugged to mininova hence good speed, and you can even download the older movies with good speed. ( If you have used limewire then you understand it better .)

Alexa Rank:59 Compete Rank:1409 PR:6 estimated visitors/day ( compete ) :1,109,194

The pirate bay

The pirate bay seems more customed like a search engine as well as host . Pirate bay is the second largest torrent site , I like it because I have found almost all the files I have searched, its too big , really big. Even though it shows high seed/peer ratio , we seldom get greater speeds ( pirates say that they have often changed the S/P ratio ).
