danblee.com is getting a facelift

May 20, 2015 by Dan B. Lee Leave a Comment

What sort of a web-designer webmaster website developer person would I be if I just let danblee.com go on without being mobile first? In the next few weeks I'll be moving over to a mobile friendly website theme. I'm currently tweaking a theme I purchased (because I have created a theme from scratch since 2009) which will be mobile friendly. Here are a few other things I'd like to accomplish: Less shitty ads. Ads, but less shitty ones. Disqus integration while keeping the ability to just … [Read more...] about danblee.com is getting a facelift

WordPress LiteSpeed 403 Forbidden at Login Prompt

May 27, 2014 by Dan B. Lee 1 Comment

For those of you who have run into this before, you know exactly what to do, but for those of you who have never seen a Forbidden when working with your Wordpress installation, it may freak you out for a short second. Here's what's going on when you try to log into your http://site.com/wp-admin Wordpress Login and get a dreaded 403 Forbidden Error. More than likely, your .htaccess file has changed. If you didn't do this manually, there's a good chance your hosting provider did this to you. … [Read more...] about WordPress LiteSpeed 403 Forbidden at Login Prompt

WordPress: Admin Toolbar Missing

October 1, 2012 by Dan B. Lee Leave a Comment

If you're working on a new WordPress theme and you want your Admin Toolbar to reappear at the top of the page, be sure and add these two things as soon as you can to your new template: In the <head> section of your template, add this: <?php wp_head() ?> In the <foot> section of your template, add this: <?php wp_foot() ?> WordPress can't give you the Admin Toolbar and all of the other goodies that go with a new template unless it knows right where you want the extra … [Read more...] about WordPress: Admin Toolbar Missing

WordPress and WAMP: Permalinks other than Default do not work

September 26, 2012 by Dan B. Lee 3 Comments

Permalinks uses mod_rewrite module. By default, this is not enabled in WAMP. Here's how to enable it. Left click the WAMP icon near your clock and or find your httpd.conf by searching in your wamp folder. It will be in your apache folder's conf directory. I found it here: C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.22\conf. Once the file is open, find the following line and take the has tag out of it. So this: #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so Needs to look like this: LoadModule … [Read more...] about WordPress and WAMP: Permalinks other than Default do not work

Default WAMP phpmyadmin username and password

September 26, 2012 by Dan B. Lee Leave a Comment

In case you're wondering, the default WAMP username\password for phpmyadmin is as follows: username: root password: [none] So if you were to say, set up the WordPress wp-config.php file, it would look something like this. /** MySQL database username */ define('DB_USER', 'root'); /** MySQL database password */ define('DB_PASSWORD', ''); I hope this help some people avoid some headaches. Cheers! … [Read more...] about Default WAMP phpmyadmin username and password

WordPress: Preformatted style not wrapping

September 20, 2012 by Dan B. Lee Leave a Comment

I just finished up Recover a Mailbox in Exchange 2010 and noticed that my "preformatted" style wasn't wrapping. Here's what I had in my style sheet for <pre> pre { background: #eee; border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px; margin: 40px 10px; } I didn't have anything to let the preformatted text know how to react once it reached the end of the line. I added this and it worked: pre { background: #eee; border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px; margin: 10px 40px; … [Read more...] about WordPress: Preformatted style not wrapping

Menu option not showing up in WordPress

September 18, 2012 by Dan B. Lee Leave a Comment

If you're creating a new theme you may immediately notice that menu options aren't available in your wp-admin navigation. This is because you haven't told your new theme that you'd like to begin using menus. In order to register menus that you'd like to work with, add the following to your functions.php file in your theme folder. If you don't have a functions.php file yet, create one and add this: function register_my_menus() { register_nav_menus( array( 'header-menu' => __( 'Header … [Read more...] about Menu option not showing up in WordPress

An important email from Matt Mullenweg

December 13, 2011 by Dan B. Lee Leave a Comment

As most of you WordPress fans know, version 3.3 was released last night. Along with the update was an email from none other than Matt Mullenweg announcing the release. As I was taking a cab back to a friends house I read the email and quickly replied knowing full well the email will probably just be shot into a no-reply@ mailbox never to be seen again. As it turns out, I was wrong. On Dec 12, 2011, at 10:56 PM, Matt Mullenweg <m@mullenweg.com> wrote: On 12/12/11 7:56 PM, Dan Lee … [Read more...] about An important email from Matt Mullenweg

What’s Up With The Look Of Your Site?

November 30, 2011 by Dan B. Lee Leave a Comment

I'm still on this whole "It's my site I do what I want" kick. I kind of like it. For a long time I've developed WordPress templates for websites that don't belong to me. Now that I'm making a site for myself I figured I could take any route that I want. The good thing about starting off like this is I don't have care about deadlines. The other good thing about my approach is I'm free to do whatever I want; I'm brandless and identityless. This means I can change anything I want any time I want; … [Read more...] about What’s Up With The Look Of Your Site?
