Atahualpa theme once again


2009
04.24
stepping up to nothing

The Atahualpa theme have once again proved it’s value here, it is used as the basis for the layout.

One thing to remember when using the theme: Take away the weird links at the bottom. This is perfectly legal, as the authors do not claim copyright to the file where they put the links.

To remove them you need to to edit the file functions.php. The content to alter are the contet commented out on the sample below:

function footer_output($footer_content) {
global $wp_query;
$current_page_id = $wp_query -> get_queried_object_id();
get_queried_object_id();
/*
  $link_anchors = array("Wordpress Theme", "WP Themes", "WordPress Themes", "Wordpress Themes", "WP Theme", "Wordpress Layouts", "Wordpress Templates");
  $link_anchors2 = array("Free", "Download", "Best", "BFA", "Atahualpa", "3 column", "New", "", "");
  $link_anchors3 = array("Professional", "Buy", "Custom", "Premium", "", "Premium", "SEO", "Adsense", "Build your own", "");
  srand($current_page_id);
  $link_anch3 = array_rand($link_anchors3); $link_anch2 = array_rand($link_anchors2);
  $link_anch = array_rand($link_anchors);
  $footer_content .= '
<a href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a> · <a title="'.$link_anchors[$link_anch].'" href="http://wordpress.bytesforall.com/">'.$link_anchors2[$link_anch2].' '.$link_anchors[$link_anch].'</a> · <a title="'.$link_anchors3[$link_anch3].' WordPress Themes" href="http://www.themeframe.com/">'.$link_anchors3[$link_anch3].' '.$link_anchors[$link_anch].'</a>';
*/
return $footer_content;

It’s a simple reason for doing this: The theme got references to websites that are not the site of the themes creators. If you make a website, make sure that there are NO excess spam on it!

There are ads used on vestby.name, just to see how the ad system is working, but since the Atahualpa creators are asking for money on their “stylist” page – it’s not fair that they add tags and more that are not related to them.

Time for a blog-upgrade


2009
04.18

It’s time for a upgrade of the blog. This time, the entire Wordpress have been reinstalled, with some of the plugins.

Main reason for the upgrade: The Clean Options Plugin did mess up parts of the database.

Positive side-effect: The blog got cleaner HTML, XML and stylesheets, so it validates on all standards it’s using.

Negative side-effect: Support for Internet Explorer before IE7 are removed, the extra tags required was a major part of what made the “dirty” HTML and stylesheets.

Database upgrade

had to close the site a few minutes, the database this site rely on got an upgrade, and was moved from one server to another as well..

:-)

Before the upgrade, the WP-optimizer plugin was run (to ensure that the cruft was removed). After the upgrade, an additional run of WP-optimizer did show: Total Space Saved: 13341.883 Kb
Why the difference between before and after the upgrade? The databases are equal – and the site was down during the upgrade..

Don’t know why this did happend, so a question is sent.
