How To Turn Off eShop Test Mode

January 31, 2012 By Leave a Comment

If you are using the latest WordPress version (which you should!!!), you’ll notice that eShop plugin will be perpetually set to Test Mode and there’s no way to turn it off. There’s quite a number of suggestions in the official forum at quirm.net but as it turns out, the option is inadvertently hidden. All you have to do is to activate the two column mode of the dashboard and you’ll be able to see the dropdown option.


To be clear, here’s the screenshot on how to do it.
Step 1 : click on 2 in the Number of Columns Screen options.

Step 2 : Update the status to Live and click on Save.

For those looking for it, I know how you feel. I just felt too stupid to not thinking about it. Admittedly, it’s probably one of the many plugins affected by the latest WordPress enhancements. I bet once rich updated the plugin to conform with the new standard, then it won’t be a problem anymore.

Change WordPress Table Prefix

August 6, 2010 By Leave a Comment

As part of hardening your WordPress installation, it is recommended that we change the prefix of our WP tables. In that way, the ‘bad guys’ and script kiddies will have to guess the name of your tables.

WordPress : ‘You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page’

December 2, 2009 By Leave a Comment

The problem looks like below.

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page

The supposed permission problem has occured before and mainly involves plugins. For older version of wordpress, your problem may be solved by one or both of the

  • Change of table prefix - I suggest you visit this to solve that problem. And it also solves a string of other things, too.
  • Failed Upgrade - If you used an automatic upgrade and failed, it is possible that the version number saved in the database is already updated. You can force upgrade it by updating the your version number. Another alternative is by using MarkAquit’s script here

However, these solutions are only applicable for older versions of WordPress. If you have a clean install, you should not encounter this. That’s why it didn’t work and was back to square one of investigation. Upon further checking, it turned out that the problem is related to old plugins. Apparently, there are plugins that was written before the current releases and whose parts of the code is no longer compliant with the current version of WordPress.

Finding the offending plugin is a bit tricky especially if you are using a lot of plugins. Luckily, I only encounter this in a contact page plugin and replace it accordingly with a new plugin which was released lately. The problem with my older plugin is that there’s no more active development. And so when some of the codes were deprecated, the plugin fails.

So what’s the problem then? Old Plugins.

Rename Tables in MySQL

August 22, 2009 By Leave a Comment

If you want to hand code renaming tables, here’s the sample.

Single Table

RENAME TABLE wp_users TO kwg_users;

multiple tables

RENAME TABLE wp_users TO kwtg_users,
wp_usermeta TO kwtg_usermeta,
wp_site TO kwtg_wpsite,
wp_signups TO kwtg_signups;

This is handy when renaming a whole lot of tables as in the case of WordPress mu where each blog has its own set of tables. If you decide to rename them for security reasons (like you forgot to change the default table prefix during installation), it will be a pain to change them one by one through phpMyAdmin.

Modified WP Table Prefix in bbPress

August 22, 2009 By 1 Comment

If you change your WordPress/WordPress mu table prefix (and thus, renamed the tables too) and you have a bbPress integrated with it, chances are your bbPress will lose its connection with WordPress since the configuration is not in bb-config.php. You’ll need to update the meta tables, too through mysql or phpmyadmin. Here’s the update query.


UPDATE bb_meta
SET meta_value = 'wpmu_'
WHERE meta_key = 'wp_table_prefix';

That’s of course considering your bbPress table is bb_meta and the new prefix for WordPress/WordPress mu is wpmu.

WordPress Upgrade Error(wp-comments)

August 16, 2009 By Leave a Comment

I’ve been encountering this for a number of times already and on each time, I had to upgrade WordPress manually(through SSH to make it faster). Now, I was able to partially solve this by removing/renaming the existing upgrade folder under wp-contents. You can follow the steps below.

  1. Login to your server via FTP
  2. navigate to wp-contents folder
  3. rename the existing upgrade folder to a new name(you can also choose to delete)
  4. under wp-contents folder, create a new folder named upgrade
  5. set permission of the new upgrade folder to 666
  6. re-run the upgrade from within wordpress

WordPress as Application Framework

March 4, 2009 By Leave a Comment

I’ve been using WordPress for several years now for blog-type publishing but never used it for a full scale CMS. For more complicated sites, I use Joomla. The latter is more powerful, flexible, extensible, scalable and with tons of plugins and templates to choose from. But because Joomla is a full-featured CMS, complexity comes with it. A lesser mortal like me would take time to implement changes, much less when I try to create application on top of it. On the otherhand, WordPress doesn’t really consider itself as a CMS platform but instead “a state-of-the-art publishing platform”. And since it’s core purpose is to publish, a lot of people say that it is not scalable among other things which is true.

But with the rise in popularity of WordPress, it has evolved in a more robust application framework where you can build your application on. It still lacks a lot of features other CMS have but it has all the important ones. It has become an increasingly flexible framework where you can build your application on. And with the help of talented template designers, has moved the presentation of WordPress sites even higher. And despite its improved capabilities, WordPress still managed to maintain improve it’s uberly simplistic and almost idiot-proof administration interface.

I think a post over at graduallythensuddenly.com on “WordPress Makes Drupal Irrelevant” explains it further. And if you want to make your application adhere to the MVC(model-view-controller) framework, somebody has just explained how to do it over at nixonmcinnes.co.uk.

And as for me, is it time for me to use WordPress on that web application that I’ve been postponing for the longest time? You bet, it is! And as a matter of fact, I should have started earlier. Actually, I already migrated one custom-script-powered website into wordpress over the weekend out of necessity.

But this decision to migrate to WordPress doesn’t mean I’ll be dumping Joomla altogether. I’ll still use Joomla and will still be my choice for full-cms and complex website for the time being. However when it comes simple blogsite to magazine type websites, WordPress is the way. And one of the added indispensable bonus is the ease of administration. It’s so damn simple, it’s almost idiot proof.
