It’s already the end of September. School started almost 3 weeks ago, the kid has already gotten sick, and it’s still 90F. I hope we have fall before winter starts.
This week I have Star Wars weather, Daleks, Ramen, WordPress and more.
Enjoy!
How to Use the WordPress Redirection Plugin When Moving Site to a New Domain or Directory
On Monday I discussed the Update URL’s plugin that will update the image and internal links on your WordPress site when you move it to a new domain or directory location.
You also want to make sure that your visitors don’t get lost and get 404 errors when they access your site or follow bookmarks to it. In other words you don’t want to lose or confuse visitors who are still coming to your site via the old URL.
A WordPress Plugin that will Update URL’s and Links When Moving a Site
I frequently move sites from one host to another, move a site to a new domain, or develop a site in a subdirectory and need to move it to the final location when the work is complete.
So, I end up with a lot of URL’s and image links that need to be changed. Thinking about doing this on a very large site is daunting and makes me want to go back to bed and put the pillow over my head.
Fortunately, there is an awesome and simple WordPress plugin that will change all of the URL’s for you.
Managing Your WordPress Archives with Smart Archives Reloaded
After you’ve been blogging for awhile the archive list in the sidebar becomes rather long. And I’ve often felt that unless your blog is a journal that the archives are kind of useless. Most people are looking for information on a topic, such as an article I wrote about Facebook, not a list of what I wrote in May 2009.
The only thing that the list seems to do is establish the age of the site. If there are only two months listed, the site is new. If it stretches on and on, the site has been around for awhile.
I found that at about the two year mark, the list of months was just getting too long. Even though I think the archives are kind of pointless I didn’t want to do away with them completely. And I didn’t feel like creating a custom archive page so I decided to try out the Smart Archives Reloaded Plugin.
2 Ways to Like Add Facebook Like to Your WordPress Site
Facebook wants us to like things rather than fan or share them. I’m not, like, really liking, this change, like, you know? It makes me think of people who use like every three words they say and about passing notes in junior high. “Chris – do you think Billy likes me? Can you ask him? But don’t tell him I wanted to know.”
So, we can now add like buttons to our website. What’s cool about it is that it will show the little avatars of the people who liked your article and will post on their wall and newstream that they liked the article (if their settings allow for that).
