How to Convert A Local Wordpress XAMPP Installation Into A Live Site?

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Hi,
I recently installed wordpress on my home computer and would like to transfer it to a live site (as I now have a host site running).

I found some instructions here:
http://www.jestro.com/web-design/convert-local-wordpress-xampp-installation-into-live-site/
but I find these hard to follow.

Can anyone help? I’m a beginner at this.

Well, you have to upload all your sourses on the site, then create a database for wordpress on the site (let’s say you call it "wp_db". Export the tables from local database and import them into the site database you have made (wp_db).

When you are finished, you just need to modify the wordpress conf file with the new properties for your site database (name, server, password)…

Hope it works!

Good luck…

Business Blogging Two Choices for Your Blogging Platform

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

If you want to build an online business, you must have a blog. Blogging has become the way that people find out who you are and what you do, so it is non-negotiable. After you blog for a month or to, it will become a daily activity that you can actually look forward to for the help www.bloggers-guide-to-profit.com. My blog is my home on the internet, and I am always ready to share the information I have with my readers.
There are really only two choices for your blogging platform. I use both of them, mainly because I maintain so many blogs. Type pad is an easy way to set up your blog within an hour or so, and it is hosted by Type pad. There are about two hundred different themes to choose from, or you can easily upload your own. I always recommend Type pad as a blogging platform to people you need to set up a blog quickly, without any need for specialized features.
For those who want more flexibility with their blogs, Wordpress is the way to go. There are plug-ins that make it possible to turn your blog into a search engine optimization machine, allow you to easily upload audio and video, and do more things than you ever imagined, even with a traditional website. wordpress blogs require more technology knowledge to be set up and maintained, but you may find that you would rather learn some new things in order to have a site that is capable of so much more.
More and more people are now using blogs instead of websites, because the search engines love the fresh new content. You will be able to build your online business with your blog, and people will be able to find you easily when searching for your keywords on Google or any of the other search engines.
How blogs can hurt:
1. One small step. Negative posts can be fatal.
Blogging can open you up for many legal, liability and employment questions, problems or crises. Last year, Jim C. came to me after he had posted a rather nasty post on his Top Ten Worst Retailers in the World blog for the help www.feed-reader-links.com. His company did business with two of those retailers and as nosy or highly sensitive corporate personnel found out about his lambaste it caused a rift at the company. According to Jim, “This year for other reasons I was let go. It was not the economy. I crossed the line.”
2. Pictures tell a thousand stories.
Larry seemed to pipe up at work a lot about things that bothered him. So he decided to publish a seemingly anonymous blog. As a techy he posted hundreds of comments on political ideas, people he thought should be impeached and railed against what he considered bad taste and fashion. He did this anonymously under a lot of different names. But when he decided to take pictures at the year end Christmas party and publish captions that offended nearly everyone, he was, well, suspended without pay forever (fired).

How do you get a new wordpress theme?

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

i downloaded one from a website (its now saved to my computer) and i dont know how to use it. help!!! how do i apply it to my blog?

Possibly you are not using a paid version of Wordpress !

If you are using a paid version , you would be provided with an FTP access to your blog thru which you can upload all your custom themes and plugins . Use FileZilla for that .

For free versions of wordpress , you have no other choice than to use only the provided themes and plugins .

You need a webserver with SQL.

How to upload wordpress in to my server and how to run the install.php file?

Monday, January 18th, 2010

My server is free hosting server and I have uploaded wordpress in to my server via ftp. But now I cannot run the install.php file. I deleted the index.html file which was already on the server and I run the install.php file but it appears 403 forbidden. So I think I couldnt upload wordpress in to the root directory, please help me to resolve this.

Unless the server allows you access to PHP and a MySQL database, you can’t run wordpress. Period.

And you need to set up that database before you can run the install.

How do you work a WordPress custom theme?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Okay I need major help. I used to have various blogs on various sites and today I have signed up and payed for my own domain, the only trouble is that I can’t work the template. I downloaded a template directly from wordpress and tried to edit the CSS. I know how to put the code and change HTML but it still doesn’t show the full theme and ruins the one I had picked before even when I start from scratch. Am I editing the wrong thing? Please help!!

It is difficult to answer your question without knowing exactly what changes you made to which files.

To recover, you may upload a fresh copy of the theme, then from within the Dashboard under Design > Theme Editor make a small change to the theme you have selected, then save it and examine the result by viewing your blog. Keep making small changes until you get the effect you want. If things blow up, just redo the last change.

Being off one character can cause problems, so be patient and methodical.

Good luck!

How can I move my Wordpress install from mydomain.net/blog to mydomain.net?

Monday, October 19th, 2009

I don’t wanna move my files from the /blog directory, I just want mydomain.net to redirect the visitors to mydomain.net/blog

well, I went to Wordpress’ General Options page and did this but it didn’t work :(

[wordpress address (URL): http://www.mydomain.net/blog

Blog address (URL): http://www.mydomain.net/
Enter the address here if you want your blog homepage to be different from the directory you installed WordPress.]

and since I’m on GoDaddy, my current mydomain.net page looks like this http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/1107/godaddykb1.png

Please help me and thanks in advance =(

1. Enter the following code and save the file as index.php.

<?php
header( ‘Location: http://www.mydomain.net/blog’ ) ;
?>

2. Upload this index.php to http://www.mydomain.net/

Thats it!

If you want to move your blog to http://www.mydomain.net/ instead, follow these instructions…

First upload Wordpress to http://www.mydomain.net – Its preferable to upload the same thing as http://www.mydomain.net/blog/

At this point http://www.domain.net should have all the directories and files that are in http://www.mydomain.net/blog/

Don’t delete the http://www.mydomain.net/blog/ directory yet.

Now goto,
http://www.mydomain.net/blog/wp-admin/
Navigate to the Options tab. (/blog/wp-admin/options-general.php)

And in there modify the following URLs to,
WordPress address (URL): http://www.mydomain.net
Blog address (URL): http://www.mydomain.net

Now try opening http://www.mydomain.net

If all goes well then you can delete http://www.mydomain.net/blog/
