Apache/2.2.11 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/0.9.8k DAV/2 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at www.mycoolonlinestores.com Port 80“.

I searched the Internet for a solution. Here is the way of how I’ve got it to work. I am sure someone may be interested in this. So why not writing down these steps of how I’ve solved this problem? By the way, the name of the folder I’ve tried to change is associated with a self-hosted WordPress site. And the cPanel is associated with Hostmonster’s cPanel.

• First download all the files within that folder to your local computer. I use FTP to get the job done.

• Next create a new folder in your server with whatever name you’ve preferred and upload those files that you’ve downloaded earlier to this new folder.

• Next log in to your cPanel and click on phpMyadmin. A new window would pop up. It will allow you to export (backup) your database. See details here. Don’t close this window, you’ll need it later.

• Now go back to your cPanel. Click on MySQL ® Databases or MySQL ® Database Wizard to create a new database. See this tutorial here. Remember its user name and password.

• Then open your database you’ve backuped earlier with Notepad editor. Hit Ctrl and F at the same time to bring up a search box. Type in Database and replace old database name with the new one. Also type in public_html and replace old folder name with the new one. Make sure you save it in your new database name.

• Now go back to phpMyadmin window. The one I told you earlier not to close it. Click on Import to upload your amended database.

• Then open wp-config.php (should be in the root directory of your new folder). Edit and upload it back to the same place. See details below:
  

  define(’DB_NAME’, ‘databasename‘); // Change databasename to be your new database name define(’DB_PASSWORD’, ‘mysqlpassword‘); // Change mysqlpassword to be your new MYSQL password define(’DB_USER’, ‘mysqlusername‘); // Change mysqlusername to be your new MySQL username define(’DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // Leave the way it is.

• Since the domain is assigned to the old folder, there is no way that you can assign it to the new folder. However, you need to click on Domain Manager in your cPanel. Once you are there,  tick that domain. On your right side, scroll down to un-assign that domain to your cPanel. Quickly, during this time your website will be down.

• Finally go back to cPanel and click on Addon Domains. A new page will open, assign that domain to your new folder and hit Add Domain button. See details below:
  

  Step 1 Tick next to “Use a domain that is already associated with your account”. Scroll down to find it. Step 2 Leave it alone. Step 3 Tick next to “Addon Domain“. Step 4 Tick next to “Use an existing directory”. And below “Sub-domain:” type in your new folder’s name.

Now type your website’s url in your browser. If everything works fine, you should be able to see your website up and running again. Some people might have different approach. Feel free to talk about yours here in comment section. Any other feedback is welcome too.

I ordered this domain in GoDaddy.com back in September, 2008. However, GoDaddy would not allow me to transfer my domain within 60 days. Since I also ordered five other domains to take advantage of getting Free private registration, because of that it made it so hard for me to transfer my domain from GoDaddy.

I had to call GoDaddy’s support hotline, someone helped me get the user-id so that I could login to Domains By Proxy to disable the private protection on learningwp.com.

After that I logged in to my GoDaddy.com account, go to MY PRODUCTS ->Domains->Domain Manager, a new window will pop-up.

• Click on the active domain link you wish to transfer.

• In the top menu, click on Nameservers and change server 1 and server 2 to be Hostmonster.com nameservers and click on OK. See screenshot below:

• Then make sure you unlock your domain.

• Set Auto Renew to be manual instead of auto-renew.

• Then click on Refresh Page.

• Before you click on Send by Email about your Authorization Code, double check to ensure you have an updated email (very important). See screenshot below for these details:

• Next step is to login to Hostmonster.com. If you don’t have an account yet, now it is the best time to sign up since it is offering $3.95/month. I don’t know how long the offer will last. However, if you have other web host, your cpanel might look a little bit difference than mine.

• In the top menu, click on Domain Manager.

• Under Shortcuts, click on Transfer a new domain to your account.

• Enter the domain you want to transfer and click on Continue button.

• Next you need to enter Epp authorization code that you’ve got earlier in email from GoDaddy and click on Continue button.

• Then click on Add to Cart button.

• Make sure you also turn on the Free private protection. No charge.

• Lastly you just have to wait for GoDaddy to send you an email of notification about your transfer.

Please be aware that Domain Name System (DNS) usually takes 24 to 48 hours to propagate. The whole process should take about 7 days. In my case it took 5 days.

I recently found a very useful RSS plugin that will allow you to monetize your blog with it. It will permit you to place  RSS feeds below each of your articles. With it you can now promote eBay’s products, ClickBank products, and any other affiliate products that allow you to generate RSS feeds with. I am so excited that I want to share this great tool with you.

This simple RSS plugin is called FirstRSS. Download it from its owner’s website. Did I mention that it is Free? After that unzip that file and upload it to your blog’s directory like this: /public_html/wp-content/plugins/. (assuming that you are using self-hosted WordPress blog too).

One drawback that I found out so far is you can only be allowed to show its default feeds which is 10. I don’t know about you but I think 10 feeds for an article is too many. I want to show less than 5 feeds or at most 5 feeds. Here is the solution for that:

• Log in to your WordPress admin erea.

• Click on Plugins/FirstRSS/Edit.

• Before you attempt to make any changes, make sure you save a copy of it.

• Find the following codes in firstRSS.php: 
  

  foreach($rss->items as $item) { $title = $item[title]; $link = htmlentities($item[link]); $desc = $item[description]; if ($title != ”) $disp .= “\t<b><a href=’$link’>$title</a></b>\n<br />”; if ($desc  != ”) $disp .= “\t$desc\n<br />”; }

• And replace them with the codes below: 
  

  $i=0; foreach($rss->items as $item) { if($i < 5) { $title = $item[title]; $link = htmlentities($item[link]); $desc = $item[description]; if ($title != ”) $disp .= “\t<b><a href=’$link’>$title</a></b>\n<br />”; if ($desc != ”) $disp .= “\t$desc\n<br />”; } $i++; }

This will allow you to control how many RSS feeds you’ve preferred. I like to display [rsspara:URL] instead of [rsslist:URL] below my post because [rsspara:URL] will allow me to show not only links but images and descriptions of the products as well. Make sure you get a RSS url from any affiliate site you’ve participated and replace the URL with the feed’s url that you’ve got. If you’ve done it right, you will see an example just like the one below.

Another drawback is that it shows what category and keywords with a logo in its feeds. I don’t like that. I am still searching an answer for it. I’ll keep you posted once I find the solution.

Update: The solution for the above question is shown below. You need to find the following three $disp code lines and comment them out. Make sure you save the file:

 
Now go ahead to test it out. Does it work? Mine is working. See the example below.

• Log in to your WordPress 2.7 admin area.

• Expand Appearance (at the left side bar)if it is collapsed.

• Click on Editor/Stylesheet(style.css), find body { background: #fff; and chang #fff to be any other color you like.

• Now the problem is that your entire blog page color will be changed to whatever body color you’ve chosen. You need to find the following codes and add background: #fffff to the end of each code (change fffff to be any other color you prefer). See the changes below:

#container { width: 970px; margin: 15px auto 0 auto; background: #fffff } #content_box { width: 970px; text-align: left; float: left; clear: both; background: #fffff } #content { width: 500px; padding: 0 20px 0 0; float: left; background: #fffff } #sidebar { width: 210px; padding: 0 0 0 15px; float: left; background: #fffff } #footer { width: 970px; padding: 1.2em 0 0 0; border-top: 2px solid #ccc; float: left; clear: both; background: #fffff }

• Now if you check your blog, you will find out that your navigational bar background color is still the same as your theme’s body color. Search the following codes and do the same procedure as above step:

ul#nav { list-style: none; width: 950px; padding: 0 10px; background: url(‘images/hr_dot_black.gif’) repeat-x; border-bottom: 3px solid #000; float: left; clear: both; background: #fffff } ul#nav li { padding: 0.85em 40px 0.7em 0; font: bold 1.4em Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; text-transform: uppercase; float: left; background: #fffff } ul#nav li a, ul#nav li a:visited { color: #000; text-decoration: none; background: #fffff } ul#nav li a:hover { color: #000; text-decoration: underline; background: #fffff } ul#nav li a.current, ul#nav li a.current:visited, ul#nav li a.current:hover { color: #090; text-decoration: underline; background: #fffff } ul#nav li.rss { padding: 0.85em 0 0.7em 0; float: right; background: #fffff } ul#nav li.rss a { padding: 0 18px 0 0; background: url(‘images/icon_rss.gif’) 100% 50% no-repeat; background: #fffff }

• The last thing you need to do is to give your template some left and right margins. How can you do that? Find the code and see the changes I’ve made for you:

#content { width: 468px; padding: 0 15px 0 15px; float: left; background: #fffff }

I also find out that I needed to change the number in my footer section. See the change below:

#footer { width: 955px; padding: 1.2em 0 0 0; border-top: 2px solid #ccc; float: left; clear: both; background: #fffff }

Now go to check your blog again. Did it come out the way you like? Hope you enjoy it.

Update: On January 12, 2009, Cutline versions 2.2 and 1.4 3-Column were released and they are compatible with WordPress 2.7 since.

WordPress 2.7 has a completely new look of its dashboard. It allows its users to arrange new modules by dragging and dropping them around.  It also provides new features such as  QuickPress, comment threading, paging, and the ability to reply to comments inside the dashboard. Moreover, it built in the ability to install any plugin directly from WordPress.org with a single click only.

On the upper side corner there is a new feature named “Screen Options” which allow you to check or uncheck the choices of the modules to be shown in the dashboard. The most excited news about WordPress 2.7 is that it built in the ability to allow you to automatically upgrade your future WordPress version with a single click.

Although some people don’t like the new dashboard of WordPress 2.7, I don’t mind to have that. I can understand why some people are not easy to accept new ideas, new looks, new technologies, and etc. For me I am ready. So this is the last time you ever have to manually upgrade WordPress again. If you are readdy, here we go:

• Check to see your host is compatible with WordPress 2.7.

• Check to find out your plugins are compatible with WordPress 2.7.

• Check to be sure your theme is compatible with WordPress 2.7.

• If everything works fine for you, then you can download WordPress 2.7 here.

• Deactivate all your plugins before you proceed.

• You can use WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plugin to upgrade to WordPress 2.7 in about two minutes (after that say bye-bye to this plugin because you don’t need it any more). If you like to manually upgrade your existing WordPress version to WordPress 2.7, just follow along.

• Back up all your WordPress files to your laptop/PC.  You may use FTP to get the job done.

• Back up your database. If you don’t know how, follow these instructions here.

• You should double check to make sure that your backups are usable.

• Delete the old WordPress files except the following files:
  * wp-config.php file
  * wp-content folder
  * wp-images folder (only older installations from 1.5.x days will have this folder)
  * wp-includes/languages/folder; if you are using a language file, and it is here rather than in wp-content/languages/, do not delete this folder (you might want to move your language files to wp-content/languages/ for easier upgrading in the future)
  * .htaccess file (if you have added custom rules to your .htaccess, do not delete it)
  * Custom Content and/or Plugins (if you have any images or other custom content or Plugins inside the wp-content folder, do not delete them).

• You may use FTP to upload your unzipped WordPress 2.7 files to your WordPress directory.

• In your web browser, type http://www.yoursitename.com/wp-admin/ and hit enter. It will guide you whether you need to upgrade your database or not. It turns out that I needed to upgrade my database this time. (Make sure you replace yoursitename wiith your own domain name.)

• The final step is to reactivate all your plugins in the dashboard of your WordPress 2.7.

Now go ahead. Get familiar with the new features in WordPress 2.7 and enjoy!

• First you have to find out whether you meet the minimum requirement. You can find the answer from you host account.

• Next you can get WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plugin to upgrade to WordPress 2.6.5 in about two minutes. For me I prefer to manually upgrade my WordPress blog.

• Next back up your database. If you don’t know how, these instructions will show you how.

• Then back up all your WordPress files to your laptop/PC.  I prefer using FTP.

• It is very important that you double check your backups to see whether they are usable.

• Next deactivate all your plugins since they may cause problems.

• Now go to download WordPress 2.6.5 to your laptop/PC.

• Delete the old WordPress files except the following files:
  • wp-config.php file
  • wp-content folder
  • wp-images folder (only older installations from 1.5.x days will have this folder)
  • wp-includes/languages/folder; if you are using a language file, and it is here rather than in wp-content/languages/, do not delete this folder (you might want to move your language files to wp-content/languages/ for easier upgrading in the future)
  • .htaccess file (if you have added custom rules to your .htaccess, do not delete it)
  • Custom Content and/or Plugins (if you have any images or other custom content or Plugins inside the wp-content folder, do not delete them).

• Upload your unzipped WordPress 2.6.5 files to your WordPress directory.

• Type http://www.yoursitename.com/wp-admin/ in your web browser and hit enter. It will direct you whether you need to upgrade your database or not. Make sure you replace yoursitename with your own domain name.

• Now head to reactivate your plugins and enjoy your WordPress 2.6.5 dashboard.

See it is not hard. Let me know if you run into any issues.

• First I used FTP to back up my old WordPress blog files to my laptop.

• Second I upgraded my old WordPress 2.6.1 to be the newest version WordPress 2.6.5.

• Third I logged in to my host’s cPanel/phpMyAdmin to export my old WordPress blog’s database to my laptop. See WordPress Backup with phpMyAdmin here.

• Next I created a new folder named wp for the new domain. I then created a robots.txt in wp fold with the following contents:
  User-agent: *
Disallow: /
  This is to prevent any search engines to crawl my site before it is ready.

• Next I created a new database in my host cPanel for this new domain. See WordPress Tutorial: Setting Up A MySQL Database With cPanel here.

• Next I typed the url of my website in my browse to run the install and input the information I’v got from the last step to finish the installation.

• Then I edited wp-config.php file which should be in your root directory and changed the high-lighted parts with the information I’ve got earlier.

define(’DB_NAME’, ‘databasename‘); // Change the high-lighted part to be your database name
define(’DB_USER’, ‘mysqlusername‘); // Change the high-lighted part to be your MySQL username
define(’DB_PASSWORD’, ‘mysqlpassword‘); // Change the high-lighted part to be your password
define(’DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value.

• Next I used FTP to upload all my old WordPress blog’s files to public_html/wp folder.

• Then I imported my old database to replace the new one I’ve created eariler. (if your database name, mysql username, and mysql password are the same as the old one, then you don’t need to do anything otherwise you have to change them before you can import it.)

• Then I logged in to my WordPress admin area and used Search and Replace plugin to search all my old WordPress urls in database to be replaced with my new urls.

• Then I double checked my website to see whether everything was working properly. After that I deleted the robots.txt file.

• Finally I added the following line in my old blog’s .htaccess file right after
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomainname.com/$1 [R=301,L]

You must change yourdomainname to be your actual domain name. Adding this line in my old blog’s .htaccess will ensure that all my old blog’s traffic will be redirected to my new blog with every single post I’ve created.

Any questions? or suggestions? Please share them with us.

How to Transfer Your Joomla! Website to a New Domain?

However transferring your WordPress blog/website to a new host is not an easy job; especially if you are new to this realm. If one day for any reason you decide to transfer your current WordPress blog/website to a new host, these are the steps I make them as smooth as they could be for you:

• First find a host that meets all your needs.

• Second use FTP to backup your WordPress files to your computer or laptop.

• Third backup (export) your WordPRess database to your computer or laptop using phpMyAdmin in your current host’s cPanel. Check WordPress Backup with phpMyAdmin out for more details.

• Next use FTP to upload your WordPress files that you’ve backed up earlier to your new host’s root directory or any directory you prefer.

• Next create a new database using either MySQL ® Databases or MySQL ® Database Wizard in your new host’s cPanel. See WordPress Tutorial: Setting Up A MySQL Database With cPanel for more details.

• Next change the information about your database or the absolute path before uploading (importing) it to your new host. Make sure you choose binary from Character set of the file otherwise some punctuation like apostrophe will not show properly. See the screenshot below:

• Then download your wp_config.php file, which should be in your root directory, to your computer or laptop;  edit the following lines and then upload it back to the same directory:
  

  define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘databasename‘); // Change database name to be your actual database name define(‘DB_USER’, ‘mysqlusername‘); // Change mysql username to be your MySQL username define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘mysqlpassword‘); // Change mysql password to be your actual password define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value.

• Finally point your domain to your new host’s name servers. In my case, they look like these: ns1.hostmonster.com and ns2.hostmonster.com. If you are not sure then you can ask your current host to have that done for you. Please be aware that DNS (Domain Name System) takes 24 to 48 hours to be completed due to DNS’ propagation.

Once you find out that everything is working properly, inform your current host to cancel your account. That is it. Any questions please ask in the comment section.

For IIS users, 2.6.1 fixes several permalink problems. Image insertion problems in the Press This feature experienced by IE users are also fixed. Of note to everyone is a fix for a performance bug in the admin where those with a lot of plugins would experience slowness on some pages.” You may also want to find out the full list of over 60 fixes to see what WordPress 2.6.1 has to offer.

I just upgraded my existing WordPress version to WordPress 2.6.1 a moment ago. Everything went smoothly. If you are ready to upgrade to WordPress 2.6.1, then you may find the following steps useful:

• First of all you need to check whether you meet the minimum requirement. You can use the following code to check your minimum requirement.
  

  <?phpinfo();?>

  Here is what you need to do: Save the above code in a file as checkphpNmysql.php or any name you want. Then upload that file to your public_html directory, and run it as http://www.yoursitename.com/checkphpNmysql.php in your browser to find out your PHP version and MySQL version right away. Make sure you replace yoursitename with your own domain name.

• If you fulfill the minimum requirement, then you have two choices: (1) You can get WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plugin to upgrade for you in about two minutes. I’ve never tried it before so you are taking that choice on your own risk. (2) Alternatively you may upgrade to WordPress 2.6.1 manually.

• Next back up your database. Follow These instructions if you don’t know how.

• Use any FTP to back up ALL of your files in your WordPress directory to your PC (personal computer).

• Check your backups to see they are usable.

• Make sure you deactivate All your plugins.

• Download and unzip WordPress 2.6.1 here to your PC.

• Delete the old WordPress files except the following files:
  • wp-config.php file
  • wp-content folder
  • wp-images folder (only older installations from 1.5.x days will have this folder)
  • wp-includes/languages/folder; if you are using a language file, and it is here rather than in wp-content/languages/, do not delete this folder (you might want to move your language files to wp-content/languages/ for easier upgrading in the future)
  • .htaccess file (if you have added custom rules to your .htaccess, do not delete it)
  • Custom Content and/or Plugins (if you have any images or other custom content or Plugins inside the wp-content folder, do not delete them).

• Upload your unzipped wordpress-2.6.1 files to your WordPress directory.

• Run http://www.yoursitename.com/wp-admin/ as your normal login. From there it will direct you whether you need to upgrade your database or not. Make sure you replace yoursitename with your own domain name.

• If your WordPress is resided in a subdirectory called blog, then you need to run it as http://www.yoursitename.com/blog/wp-admin/ or http://www.blog/yoursitename.com/wp-admin/ depending on how you set up your blog.

• The last step is to make sure you reactivate those plugins that you deactivated earlier.

Did you see your new WordPress 2.6.1 interface? How do you like about it?

Post via e-mail

To post to WordPress by e-mail you must set up a secret e-mail account with POP3 access. Any mail received at this address will be posted, so it’s a good idea to keep this address very secret. Here are three random strings you could use: dU)Xlo7PFeA%, W3QDkr1M*eL2, (d$b^h1QxZsq.

The question is: how can you set it up to use it? Post to Your Blog Using Email provides details of how to make it work. I was able to follow the instructions below to make mine work:

• Login to your WordPress’ Dashboard.

• Click on Setting/Writing.

• Create a new email account on your web host’s mail server.

• In Mail Server, type in your new email account you’ve just created. Something like mail.example.com; make sure you change example to be your real domain name; leave the port as 110.

• In Login Name, type in something like login@example.com; here change login to be your new email’s login name and change example to be your real domain name.

• In Password, type in your new password you’ve just created.

• Choose the default category.

• Make sure you click Save Changes to save it.

In order to publish those email messages on your blog, you still need to set up WordPress to do the job. Either you activate your browser manually or activate your browser automatically. I prefer to use automatic browser activation because it will save your headache that you don’t need to send an email to your new email account every time you send a new post.

This is how I’ve done it and I find this is the easiest way: add the following code in your footer.php file right above <?php wp_footer(); ?> line. You can open footer.php file by clicking on Design/Theme Editor/ from your WordPress Dashboard.

 
where you must change yourblogdomain to be your own blog domain name. If your blog is resided in your website’s sub-directory, then make sure you follow your blog’s absolute path. Alternatively you may use Postie Plugin, and WP-Cron plugin to publish those email messages on your blog. Learn how from Post to Your Blog Using Email.

Now it comes to the verification, you need to send an email to the new account you’ve just created. To see the result, you have to refresh your browser to see the new post. For some reason, my testing post showed up on my post list but with the status stated as pending review.

Update: I’ve just found out that in your WordPress acoount, you need to have the same email address as the one you’ve used to send an email to your web server. So if you send an email using login@example.com, then login to your WordPress’ Dashboard, click on Users/Your Profile/; in E-mai, type in login@example.com as well. This way you’ll be able to publish your email message(s) directly on your blog. I’ve just tested mine out and it works. If you have any doubts, feel free to leave your comments here.
