Installing WPMU on Localhost with XAMPP

eskay — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 07:29:15 +0000

XAMPP I have XAMPP ( for Windows Version 1.6.4) installed on my laptop running on Windows XP. This was done quite sometime ago, I couldn’t remember the process. If you haven’t got one, go to Google and search for XAMPP, download and follow the setup installation. It should be fairly simple. I reckon most of you who are trying out [...]

DNS Configuration for WPMU

eskay — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 12:52:35 +0000

Instead of asking my host to “add a wildcard record to the DNS records”, this is what I did: I logged in to my cPanel and at the “Create a Subdomain” section, I added an asterisk symbol “*”. The creation of the first blog was successful. To test if the creating of subdomain was due to this addition, [...]

The theme looks alright except the home page didn’t work. It shows only new blogs created by new users but not by admin in the admin area.

Made a search at Google but of not much help: http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=3299 Went into myphpadmin to try export and operation [...]

Before you Customize the Default or Classic WP Theme

eskay — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 02:27:12 +0000

I post this to remind myself of an error I made a year ago. I created a theme based on the WordPress Classic. Didn’t give it a new name. Why should I? I didn’t create it anyway. I just changed a few codes to make it looked different. When it was done, it looked almost similar to [...]

Got to capture the screen shot before I upgrade to wordpress 2.6 and change to a new theme. Just downloaded 2.6 to localhost and trying to create new theme from the default theme. Didn’t know it was so tough. Gee… I thought I could create a new theme within a day. 3 days gone, and I am [...]

Customizing the Wordpress Default Theme

eskay — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 18:11:02 +0000

kristaytlc.wordpress.com I did for a friend so I could charge any amount I like. That was the first time I tried my hand at the wordpress.com’s template. Besides the header, I was supposed to add an image to the right of the background. After meddling with the CSS, I realized I couldn’t save the changes with this free account. [...]

I’ve got leave this record here so that some day, when I need to design another theme or upgrade to another version, I got to tell myself how I insert the gravatar code today. First, I went to http://en.gravatar.com/ to apply for a gravatar. Next I stumbled onto this site: Dyer.org/How to Add Avatars to your WordPress which [...]
