MangoOrange™

A few days ago, I’ve upgraded the download monitor by Blue Anvil and it caused me a big headache thanks to the author’s initiative to rename the plugin’s folder from wp-downloadMonitor to wp-download_monitor.

I followed exactly the upgrade instructions and, to my disappointment, the download path continue to point to the old folder instead of the new folder. I thought it was the .htaccess, so I opened up the file and everything seems right. I contacted Dreamhost support and as usual, their quick support was quick and helpful. However, they can’t trace the errors as .htaccess has no problem at all.

So today, I finally took some time out to go through the code and debug it. Guess what, it’s in the DATABASE. The table prefix_DLM_DOWNLOADS stores the fix path to the filename, so the .htaccess has no effect and keep pointing to the old folder. Sigh, I have to manually edit every single row to point to the new folder.

What a waste of my time. For those who are still facing the problem, do check your database table and correct the path. Hope you did not waste your time like I did.

It’s been quite a while since I updated MangoOrange and I decided to do some internal upgrades on the WordPress as well as the plugins. In the midst of it, I found an awesome plugin, the one that I’ve been looking for, WordPress Paged Comments.

For a few months, my i3Theme page has always been loaded with 100 over comments. To date, I have 250+ comments. It’s frustrating to wait for it to load if the connection is slow. So, I hope it’s better for everyone after I’ve upgraded it. Feel free to pop over to check out the latest update on the i3Theme as well.

This is definitely an additions to my plug-ins list.

I have been always wanted a list of Wordpress plugins to help those who wish to enhance their Wordpress sites. There has been a few of you asking where I got some of my plugins. So I decided to churn out a list to share with everyone.

I certainly hope it’s useful. In addition, I have added a list on my sidebar to put the most updated plugins on my main list.

Be sure to check it out. More will be added in the near future. Enjoy.
