WP-Hive upgrade prevents WordPress login

Posted by Krishnan in Computers, Wordpress on 10 8th, 2009 | 2 responses

I upgraded the wp-hive plug-in to version 0.5 earlier today. It wasn’t an active plugin for me and I needn’t have upgraded it. But I did it earlier today and didn’t think twice about it.

Later, I found out that I could not login into WordPress as an administrator. Everything else seemed to be working fine. Site was up and running as usual, but I couldn’t access my dashboard.

When I checked the WordPress database through phpMyAdmin the wp_options table was perfect. I was soon able to figure out that this was not a WordPress problem.

So I started troubleshooting by trying to undo my last set of actions, one of which was upgrading the wp-hive plugin. Renaming the wp-hive folder gave an serious error and brought the site down. With that I was able to narrow down the problem to the file

/wp-contents/db.php

I remmed out the line

/*require_once( WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/plugins/wp-hive/do-prefix.php’);
*/

Everything is back to normal for me now because I dont use wp-hive.

I didn’t find anything about this problem in Google, so I decided to write this down.

How to: Use TGFI.net SEO plugin

Posted by Krishnan in Howto, Wordpress on 08 20th, 2009 | no responses

This is a sample post created after the installation of TGFI SEO plugin.

This sample post should help me verify if I’m able to configure meta data at an individual post level.

What this means is, after this posting this, if I access this post through its permalink and view the html source I should see some meta data for this post.

This plug-in sure doesn’t sound like big deal to me, because I am required to use the wordpress dashboard instead of a blog client. TGFI SEO plugin will give you yet another form just below the editor on which we can fill in the post level meta data for SEO.

One thing that must be done for the plugin to work is from the FAQ:

Q: The titles aren’t showing up for me, or seem to be partially working. What’s wrong?

A: Make you you have <?php wp_head(); ?> in your header.php file between your HTML <head> tags.

I hope it is worth the effort.
