With the help of this post, I have created a bare bone child template for TwentySixteen theme. The  working trick is that you have to put the custom content.php under a folder "template-parts", because TwentySixteen theme expects content.php to be in this folder. If you put it in the root of the child theme, it will be ignored. This child theme include four files: -- the functions.php --the screenshot.png -- the style.css and -- the content.php under the folder 'template-parts'. To download here , then follow the link.

1. How to access your WordPress Blog: After you successfully lauched the instance, use the public DNS or IP address to connect your website: The WordPress default user name is "user" Password is generated randomly, and stored in the system log. You access the log at Actions > Instance Settings > Get system log. After you login to WordPress dashboard, you may change your admin password, or add another user as administrator. 2. Connect to the Ubuntu server. You should note that a public key is required to connect the server, so you'd better generate a new key when you start launching an instance, and download the the .pem file. Putty need a private key to login, you need PuttyGen to generate a private key. Login user name is "bitnami" with the private key. 3. Access to database using phpmyadmin from a browser. The database can only be accessed from localhost, 127.0.0.1, so you need a open a tunnel to do that. Open a putty new session ...

Wordpress on Windows Azure : "Wordpress on Windows Azure". When I was searching Wordpress for Microsoft Windows Azure, I came across this demo site. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any documentations on how to setup a Wordpress blog on Windows Azure yet. Windows 7 is a big hit on operating system market, the next big hit from Microsoft is its cloud computing system --Windows Azure. This is the latest operating system designed for developers to write applications in Microsoft's .NET programming language. Unlike programs that require a Windows desktop machine to run, while Azure allows developers to write applications that will run in a browser and communicate with servers in one of Microsoft's massive data centers via the Internet. With WP come on board the Azure platform, many others will definitely follow. But how long shall we wait for another ready-made popular web application free for use?

Hi, guys. Did you ever know we can move our Wordpress blog over to Blogger? We know Wordpress provides a tool to import Blogger posts and comments, but Blogger hasn't provided us the same thing. I found a great tool tonight, which can convert Wordpress blog posts/comments to the blogger format, then import into blogger. Well, the conversion will not include images and attaches, if you have shut down you Wordpress blog, and your attachment files no longer online, you have to do a bit more. Here it is! But this hosted application will only allow downloads smaller than 1MB. Hooray! I searched this kind of tools before, why couldn't I found?

In an earlier post , I mentioned an error to auto-upgrade Wordpress 2.7 to 2.71, the reason is the problem of the free webhost byethost . If you use byethost too, and need to update, here is the easiest way. Backup your files and database. Of course you can use FTP to download all files to your local computer, but quickest is to make a copy in the server itself using Vista Panel File manager tool. Export your database, and save it as a file, just in case something go wrong during your update. Delete wp -admin and wp -include, do as the instructions given out in the  Upgrading Wordpress document. Use Fantastico type installer to install the latest version of Wordpress . Byethost almost has the latest version of Wordpress as soon as a new version released. This save you a lot of work to download and unpack and upload to your server. Don't do the wordpress installation procedure. Then go to File manager, copy all files except for wp -contents and wp - config and overwrite yo...

I learned something new about trackbacks, pingbacks, and backlinks, but I am still quite puzzled by these. Trackback can be faked, and encourages spamming. Pingbacks support auto-discovery where the software automatically finds out the links in a post, and automatically tries to pingback those URLs, while trackbacks must be done manually by entering the trackback URL that the trackback should be sent to, and do not send any content as trackback does an excerpt to original post. One notable blogging service that does not support trackback is Blogger. Instead, Blogger provides "backlinks", which allow users to employ Google's search infrastructure to show links between blog entries. Which may mean  a lot of delay to find out the links if other website are not indexed quickly by Google search engine, there will not be "immediate effect", it will be "long term" to get the backlinks to show up into you comments area. Is my understanding of trackback, pingba...
