WordPress Child Themes Installed in One Click?
http://distributedresearch.net/blog/2012/05/14/wordpress-child-themes-installed-in-one-click
I’ve been requested to make a tutorial about how to install WordPress child themes so here goes. WordPress Child Themes Explained A WordPress Child Theme is a Theme which inherits some or most of its workings from an existing theme on the same installation. It’s like your own copy of another theme, a fork, a duplicate, but still relying on the original theme for many things. Why you need a Child Theme The reason why you need a child theme is so that you can make changes to the theme files, such as editing the stylesheet or adding code into the Header or Footer files, which won’t be overwritten if and when the Parent theme is upgraded. If you understand Cascading Stylesheets ( CSS ) you can make changes and additions to the stylesheet which customise or improve the appearance of your site. You may also need to add bits of code into the header or footer files in order to call a script which can’t be done with a plugin, like Tynt or Crazy Egg for example. Or you might know just enough PHP to be able to go through the main files reducing the number of database calls to speed up your site by replacing the generic with the specific. If you don’t use a child theme then you run the risk of losing all your customisations when the parent theme is updated, or else getting stuck left behind with an out of date version of the main theme’s code. How to do it To make it as easy as possible I’m suggesting the use of a plugin to create your child theme, but for now, I don’t believe there is a way to do everything ( including the creation of new theme files) entirely within the WordPress dashboard yet, so you may still need to complete one or two simple steps using either the filemanager in the cPanel dashboard at your webhost or using FTP. The plugin is called One-Click Child Theme and you can find it here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/one-click-child-theme/ Install the plugin, activate, and then navigate to Dashboard, Appearance, Themes With the theme you wish to create from active, you should now see an additional Option next to Widgets and Menus called Child Theme – see screenshot below:
So now you click on the link “Child Theme” which creates and activates your new child theme for you, after asking you for a name and description. Your new child theme will also have the link “Child Theme” but don’t click on that ever, or else you’ll create a grandchild, not really a good idea. If you now go into the WordPress theme editor, Dashboard, Appearance, Editor you’ll see that there are only two files available with the new child theme – rtl.css and style.css These are stylesheet files that call back to the parent theme, and it is by editing these files that you can add your own cascading styles for altering the appearance of your site and much more. If you need to change other files such as header.php and footer.php, then you need to copy the parent files into the folder which has been created on your WordPress server at /content/themes/ Make a note of exactly what your child theme folder has been named, then go down into the original themes folder.
Select the file you need to copy, eg footer.php in the example in the screenshot below, then select the “Copy” action at the top. In the destination path box, overtype the parent name with the child name and press Copy. The copied file will now appear in the list of available files in the theme editor, where you can begin your customisations.
There are other plugins available, some of which claim to offer file copying options during the child theme creation process, but none have ratings and are untested by myself. If you have had success with any of these or any questions, please leave a comment below. Thanks for subscribing to Andy Roberts blogWordPress Child Themes Installed in One Click?

Delete WordPress Plugins with ManageWP
http://distributedresearch.net/blog/2011/11/20/delete-wordpress-plugins-with-managewp
I’ve just been using ManageWP beta – the web utility for managing multiple WordPress installations – to delete an obsolete plugin from several of my older blogs. The functionality to delete or deactivate plugins was a much requested feature that was added to the many useful operations that ManageWP can perform for you just a couple of weeks ago, and it really does make this web service indispensable for anybody with more than just a couple of WordPress installations. I was recommending before, but even more so now. The plugin I wanted to deprecate in my installations was called Viper’s Video QuickTags, very handy in it’s day for embedding youtube videos withing blog posts, but that functionality was added into the core WordPress code several versions ago, which renders the plugin redundant for me. Plugins and Themes With ManageWP I could select “plugins and themes” from the sidebar, then chose All Websites, tick plugins, active, and search by keyword: “viper”. That gave me a list of five blogs that still had the old plugin active. I could have deactivated the lot in one fell swoop just like that, but I wanted to make sure all my old posts with videos embedded would still work so, without even leaving the ManageWP dashboard, I went to each affected individual WordPress dashboard in turn, and searched through the posts for the string “[youtube”, that being the way the old plugin recognised source posts needing to have the embed code added. I then removed the shortcodes from each end of the video identifier leaving just the youtube url on one line by itself, which WordPress now interprets as a request to embed video inline. Once the legacy code was removed, I could then deactivate and delete the plugin, leaving me with a nice feeling of having tidied up a longstanding loose end.

WordPress London #7
http://distributedresearch.net/blog/2011/11/18/wordpress-london-7
I went to WordPress London meetup number #7 last night, hosted by Headshift at their office near Shad Thames, along the south bank of the Thames, east of Tower Bridge. Nice to have something on the East side for once, although south of the river, I wouldn’t normally mention the general location but for Londoners, having different travel options is essential and I was pleased to be able to exit the Transport For London system at a zone 2 tube station, Bermondsey. WordPress London is not really a mainly social gathering like some of the bloggers meetups, it’s a business learning event and last night there were three sections, each packed with fast moving presentations full of detail, actionable insights and deeply understood data. First up, a round up of news from the world of WordPress from Chris Adams of Headshift with a peek at the new drag and drop file upload interface for WordPress 3.3, out very soon. There was also a heads up for the ManageWP service launched this month, a service which I use myself and would also heartily recommend for anybody who maintains more than one self-hosted WordPress installation, in fact it’s brilliant if you have dozens or more. WordPress London Meetup Then David Bain delivered a comprehensive briefing about SEO for WordPress, including an outline of a hub and spoke structure for content based on using pages for the main parts of a site, supported by posts All based around keyword targeting, which, while possibly on it’s way to becoming somewhat old-school, is after all what search engine optimisation is all about. One or two plugin tips to be followed up there. Finally, Keith Devon a WordPress developer explained how and why to use WordPress Custom Post Types. Custom post types are not types of posts at all, but other types of content alongside of posts or pages. The example given was that of a real estate property rental site, for which the element “Property” needed to be a thing of itself, with it’s own display template in the theme, neither a post nor a page but with it’s own “add Property” section within the dashboard. This gave me some great ideas for how I might have designed one or two of my existing sites much better had the concept been around a few years ago. Keith showed us how to implement custom post types by dropping in chunks of code into functions.php “because it’s easier” but discussion from the audience suggests that using specialised plugins for the purpose may be the way to go if you want to be able to keep your site up to date with new software releases. Time for some brief discussions and an optional visit to a Samuel Smiths pub afterwards, so I walked back along the south bank and over London Bridge back to dry land.

Some things I can’t do on the ipad 2 yet.
http://distributedresearch.net/blog/2011/05/03/some-things-i-cant-do-on-the-ipad-2-yet
So this is an experimental blog post feeding the output from a mind map directly via email to the blog. The mind map software is ithoughtsHD as recommended by Ed Dale and MacSparky, and it’s an addition to one I made early in order to accumulate some tasks I needed to do when I get back on my iMac again. So the first one was a kind of to do list, which is against the spirit of action logging I know, but sometimes I need the memory aid in special circumstances.
I’ve had an intense unplanned two weeks or so learning curve with my new iPad 2, and it’s been enlightening and fun on the whole, but occasionally frustrating as well. In theory there are only about 20-30% of activities which cannot be done easily on the iPad, but in practice they can soon mount up into a bit of a backlog. I’ve tried to avoid getting involved in really complicated workflows which are basically workarounds to make up for the deliberately isolated structure of the IOS apps system.
Other things I haven’t mentioned are native OSX apps such as Market Samurai, or Firefox plugins, which haven’t been ported to iPad yet, if at all.
The iThoughtsHD output to email process includes a number of different formats and here they are:

the difference being here I might try to find ways to do them on the iPad eventually

Are social photo apps trapped in a Silicon Valley bubble?
Some social apps are really cool but it’s unlikely your actual friends are using them
This article titled “Are social photo apps trapped in a Silicon Valley bubble?” was written by Stuart Dredge, for guardian.co.uk on Thursday 24th March 2011 11.28 UTC Another day, another innovative smartphone app based around photo-sharing. Color is the work of a team assembled by Bill Nguyen, the entrepreneur who previously sold streaming music service Lala to Apple. Backed by $41m (£25.3m) of venture capital, it lets users post photos tagged with a location, browse the latest pics of people around them, and form ad-hoc groups to bundle together shots from a group of friends in the same place. It brings to mind another hotshot photo-sharing app that launched last year: Path. There, the focus was on sharing pictures with just 50 close friends and family members — a deliberately restricted social network. It provoked similar excitement among the big US tech blogs. Here’s my question: are these kinds of apps trapped in a Silicon Valley bubble? Not in the financial sense — although that $41m for Color may fuel the debate around that too. More of a cultural bubble, where it may be a little too easy to assume that all your friends and family will be quick to catch on to the same cool new apps as you. Put it another way: if I made a list of my 50 closest friends and family members, none of them are using Path already. They won’t know about Color. And judging by my experience trying to tempt them onto Foursquare in recent months, they won’t be interested for a long time either. For now, all these apps only let me connect with other mobile industry geeks like myself. That’s where the suspicion of a bubble comes in: the assumption that if all your friends and colleagues aren’t using these new apps already, they’ll want to when you talk about them. Color may have an additional focus on strangers sharing pics, but while that’s a perfect storm of virality in Silicon Valley, it’s rather more of a lonely cul-de-sac in, say, Bishop’s Stortford. The answer may simply be to wire in Facebook, as Path does already, to widen the distribution to … well, to your real friends. An app like Instagram has its own social network, but I suspect much more social activity around its filtered photos is happening on Facebook and Twitter. Color is an interesting app with lots of money behind it. Investing in features that break it out of that Silicon Valley cultural bubble will be essential if it’s to amount to more than a geo-restricted social plaything.

WordPress 3.1 Category Bug
http://distributedresearch.net/blog/2011/02/25/wordpress-3-1-category-bug
I found a bug after upgrading WordPress to version 3.1 , a bug concerning the display of category content which can go unnoticed for a while. The category pages were redirecting to the blogs home page. The category RSS feeds were affected as well. The culprit seems to be a combination of WordPress 3.1 and the plug in “Simple Tags” The solution is either to disable the plugin, or else to go into the setting for Simple tags and uncheck “Active tags for page:”. Then wait for an update to the Simple Tags plugin, which is quite a useful one, I’d rather not have to do without. There may well be some other problems with WordPress 3.1 and some themes compatibility as well, so I’d be wary of automatic upgrading.

WikiLeaks cables: Saudi Arabia cannot pump enough oil to keep a lid on prices
http://distributedresearch.net/blog/2011/02/08/wikileaks-peakoil-saudi-arabia-oilprices
Wikileaks cable reveals the US knows that Peak Oil may be sooner than expected because Saudia Arabia has fewer oil reserves than previously disclosed. According to the Guardian report of the Wikileaks cables, reproduced in full below, global oil production may hit the peak as soon as 2012, and the American in Washington would have known about this from 2007. So the temporary hike in oil prices to over one hundred dollars a barrel is very likely to continue and become permanent. The Graph below shows UK domestic heating oil prices over the past 2 years.
This article titled “WikiLeaks cables: Saudi Arabia cannot pump enough oil to keep a lid on prices” was written by John Vidal, environment editor, for The Guardian on Tuesday 8th February 2011 22.00 UTC The US fears that Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest crude oil exporter, may not have enough reserves to prevent oil prices escalating, confidential cables from its embassy in Riyadh show. The cables, released by WikiLeaks, urge Washington to take seriously a warning from a senior Saudi government oil executive that the kingdom’s crude oil reserves may have been overstated by as much as 300bn barrels – nearly 40%. The revelation comes as the oil price has soared in recent weeks to more than $100 a barrel on global demand and tensions in the Middle East. Many analysts expect that the Saudis and their Opec cartel partners would pump more oil if rising prices threatened to choke off demand. However, Sadad al-Husseini, a geologist and former head of exploration at the Saudi oil monopoly Aramco, met the US consul general in Riyadh in November 2007 and told the US diplomat that Aramco’s 12.5m barrel-a-day capacity needed to keep a lid on prices could not be reached. According to the cables, which date between 2007-09, Husseini said Saudi Arabia might reach an output of 12m barrels a day in 10 years but before then – possibly as early as 2012 – global oil production would have hit its highest point. This crunch point is known as “peak oil”. Husseini said that at that point Aramco would not be able to stop the rise of global oil prices because the Saudi energy industry had overstated its recoverable reserves to spur foreign investment. He argued that Aramco had badly underestimated the time needed to bring new oil on tap. One cable said: “According to al-Husseini, the crux of the issue is twofold. First, it is possible that Saudi reserves are not as bountiful as sometimes described, and the timeline for their production not as unrestrained as Aramco and energy optimists would like to portray.” It went on: “In a presentation, Abdallah al-Saif, current Aramco senior vice-president for exploration, reported that Aramco has 716bn barrels of total reserves, of which 51% are recoverable, and that in 20 years Aramco will have 900bn barrels of reserves. “Al-Husseini disagrees with this analysis, believing Aramco’s reserves are overstated by as much as 300bn barrels. In his view once 50% of original proven reserves has been reached … a steady output in decline will ensue and no amount of effort will be able to stop it. He believes that what will result is a plateau in total output that will last approximately 15 years followed by decreasing output.” The US consul then told Washington: “While al-Husseini fundamentally contradicts the Aramco company line, he is no doomsday theorist. His pedigree, experience and outlook demand that his predictions be thoughtfully considered.” Seven months later, the US embassy in Riyadh went further in two more cables. “Our mission now questions how much the Saudis can now substantively influence the crude markets over the long term. Clearly they can drive prices up, but we question whether they any longer have the power to drive prices down for a prolonged period.” A fourth cable, in October 2009, claimed that escalating electricity demand by Saudi Arabia may further constrain Saudi oil exports. “Demand [for electricity] is expected to grow 10% a year over the next decade as a result of population and economic growth. As a result it will need to double its generation capacity to 68,000MW in 2018,” it said. It also reported major project delays and accidents as “evidence that the Saudi Aramco is having to run harder to stay in place – to replace the decline in existing production.” While fears of premature “peak oil” and Saudi production problems had been expressed before, no US official has come close to saying this in public. In the last two years, other senior energy analysts have backed Husseini. Fatih Birol, chief economist to the International Energy Agency, told the Guardian last year that conventional crude output could plateau in 2020, a development that was “not good news” for a world still heavily dependent on petroleum. Jeremy Leggett, convenor of the UK Industry Taskforce on Peak Oil and Energy Security, said: “We are asleep at the wheel here: choosing to ignore a threat to the global economy that is quite as bad as the credit crunch, quite possibly worse.”

Wordpress Developer Required for Small Coding Job
http://distributedresearch.net/blog/2009/11/03/wordpress-developer-required-for-small-coding-job
Are there any good coders out there with an hour or two spare? I think I’m going to need a WordPress developer of some sort to help me try out an idea I’ve had for better navigation within some of my blogs. To begin with it’s probably just a chunk of code to create a single loop inside a template file, but if it works well there’s a good possibility to turn it into a handy plugin that would be helpful only to certain types of blogs. WordPress developer required So where do I go from here? I could go onto one of the rent a coder type sites and ask for a quote I suppose but I thought I’d start by putting this down on my blog so I can refer to it within my networks. If you think you might be interested in discussing my requirements and starting very soon then do please get in touch.

Post by Email
http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2009/05/12/post-by-email/
Have you ever wanted to fire off a post from your phone, Blackberry, Outlook at work…? Following on from Comment Reply Via Email we’re introducing our latest feature to make it even easier to publish to your blog: Post by Email. Maybe you’re on holiday and want to show your journey. Maybe you’ve captured something with your cell phone that you just have to share. Maybe you’re at work and should be doing something else. With Post by Email you can keep everyone up-to-date without even opening a browser. Post by Email is super simple to use. From the new My Blogs menu you can generate special email addresses:
You can create as many email addresses as you need, one for each blog you have access to. Now for the fun part – send an email!
You can send email from any email client, whether in a browser, on your desktop, or from your cell phone, and as much formatting will be retained as possible. Attachments are not left out, and your images will be included and automatically converted into thumbnails. If you include multiple images they’ll be converted into an attractive gallery. Now you can take photos anywhere and have them appear on your blog in moments.
If you’ve purchased the Space Upgrade then MP3 attachments will be displayed using our audio player. If you’ve purchased the VideoPress upgrade then you can also include videos. There really is no easier way to get media onto your blog.
If this hasn’t whetted your appetite, here’s a quick run-down of Post by Email features:
Transcoding of any video files supported by the WordPress video player (mp4, mov, wmv, avi, mpg, and m4v). Automatic removal of standard signature blocks, with support for manual removal of other signatures. Add your email addresses directly into your address book using downloadable vCards. (You don’t even need to remember the address!) Automatic notification of a published email post. Conversion of YouTube URLs into embedded videos.
For advanced users wanting that little bit extra, full control of your post is possible through special shortcodes, with details provided on the Post by Email support page. It’s time to start emailing again!

Wordpress 2.7 and the Redirection Plugin
http://distributedresearch.net/blog/2009/01/01/wordpress27-redirection-plugin
I’m in the process of upgrading blogs to Wordpress 2.7, mostly without any serious problems. The biggest disappointment so far has been with Redirection Plugin, which is a fairly crucial part of the overall system. I knew there had been a big upgrade to the plugin because I’d run the auto update on a WP 2.6 blog, and the newer version seemed over complicated for what I do, so I thought I’d be able to upgrade the WordPress whilst retaining the older version of the plugin. The trouble with that route is that the dashboard interface on WP2.7 doesn’t seem to be compatible with the options tabs in the older plugin, so I resigned myself to living with the newer plugin version. It didn’t translate the old redirections table into the new format so I reverted. Then I tried again with a fresh install of the latest plugin, without any legacy data. It didn’t create the default modules and groups and failed to allow me to create them either. So as far as I’m concerned, the latest version of Redirection doesn’t seem to work at all with WP2.7 The old version still works as far as honouring existing redirections and creating new ones, but the dashboard is crippled so that the logs cannot be accessed. That means the handy 404 error monitoring, which by the way is less usable in later versions, is inoperable. Investigations continue…
