How To Reset Your WordPress Password

This week one of our clients was unfortunate enough to have an automatic update of a plugin fail about 1/2 way through. This caused their wp-admin section to become unusable. When they contacted us we weren’t privy to the details of the failed plugin upgrade so we just assumed they lost their password and couldn’t get it back. Sending a recovery email wasn’t working so we went ahead and reset it via phpMyAdmin.

To reset your WordPress password via phpMyAdmin you need the directions below and it should take you less than 5 minutes.

What’s New in WordPress 3.2

Earlier this week WordPress announced the release of WordPress 3.2, Beta 1. Some of the changes that are coming are:

1) If you have WordPress on most shared hosting environments, especially GoDaddy.com then you’re biggest complaint is usually the speed of your site. WordPress is eluding to performance improvements which will make your WordPress site run faster in version 3.2.

2) WP-Admin will be getting some visual upgrades but no details have been released yet.

3) The visual editor’s full-screen composing experience has gotten a major overhaul, and is now available from HTML mode, too.

Visibility Center Website Goes Live

Another week comes to a close and another web site is complete. The Visibility Center was referred to us a few months back when they were looking to update their site.

Their old web site had served them well for years but the design had become stale and was no longer conveying the message they were looking for.

Using Basecamp to manage the project and WordPress as a content management system we were able to put a new design together that we hope you’ll agree is vibrant and fun!

We are not done with the Visibility Center just yet as we now are working on phase 2 of the project which includes adding e-commerce functionality so keep an eye out for that.

WPNG Calendar Not Working – Loader Spinning

This morning I was researching a variety of plugins to integrate a Google Calendar to display on a WordPress page. I came across WPNG Calendar, a very easy solution for adding a calendar to any page within WordPress.

All smooth until I went to go preview my page. I had entered the:

  1. Google GDATA API Key
  2. Google Calendar Feed URL

And the page drew a JavaScript error and kept spinning the loading animation. Did some digging and I found the solution.

The Fix

By default the Google Calendar Feed URL will give you (XML Format):

http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/CALENDARID/public/basic

This URL is valid for a XML feed, but for this plugin that doesnt work, if you use the “full” URL. Your problem will be solved!. Use this format below:

http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/CALENDARID/public/full

Hopefully that will work for you as well and save the headache of debugging and hoping.

If you have any issues feel free to contact us.
