Strangely Perfect

There are no co-incidences in Buddhism… I’ve just been adding a few scheduled postings into the Crawling Chaos website.  For those of a mysterious bent, I initially forgot to give a title to the post.  Now because of the way I’ve got permalinks set up on that site and because of the way that WordPress [...]

Following on from my previous little post about DB Cache, I’ve been using it since that time and it seems to be faster to me from little old Blighty.  I use a USA based host so anything I see has to cross the pond anyway, but in a non-logged-in state, page loading is definitely faster [...]

All sites upgraded with the new installation. The mysterious ‘feature’ with the WordPress Stats plugin is still here and some posts I rejigged earlier have returned to their ‘duff-links’ status I mentioned in an earlier post. Ho Hum.

Permalinks or Stats Problem? This may or may not be tied up with an earlier WordPress problem I had, wordpress-27-mysterious-permalinks-problem, but here’s how it manifests itself. Description I use a popular WordPress plugin called WordPress.com Stats which does what it says, most of the time – i.e. keeps a history of page views and the [...]

Problem: A problem I had a while ago about WordPress 2.7 thinking it’s needs to update itself popped up again today.  The old permalink problem I’ve back-burnered for now as it was just one post in thousands, but this problem, where WordPress 2.7 pops a message across the top of the dashboard saying it needs [...]

First thing this morning I got a message at the top of the WordPress dashboard on this website. Your WordPress needs updating to WordPress 2.7  – or something like that However, right underneath it said You are using WordPress 2.7 – which is what I thought anyway  :-? So I clicked the button (push the [...]

Problem With Pretty Permalinks. Following on from the recent WordPress update to 2.7, I’ve had the weird effect of first a single post losing the pretty permalinks, then two, then all of them, then I had a big twiddle, (this involved a lot of forum work.  This question from Storax I thought nearly had it [...]

Now I may like to think I’m a literary genius but I am realistic enough to realise I’m not! So what happened was that I got lots of notional referrals sequentially on one post, all trying to comment at the same time! Then after a few minutes the same would happen to another posting – [...]

It’s important that in these times of tit-for-tat diplomacy which have replaced common sense and dialogue, that the correct order of statements and actions is recorded. Otherwise, in a short time, a different history will be seen as people’s views and memories get clouded in the mists of time.  Eventually, a whole new history appears [...]

This site has had a bit of a jiggle in the background recently and the most recent thing I’ve done is to adjust the permalink structure to /%post_id%/%postname%/. I’ve done this as I like to put posts into several categories – which would give multiple SEO entries – which is bad.. (don’t tell me to [...]

I’ve had quite a few search enquiries and hits for komatoz.net on my sites recently so there are obviously a lot of people suffering out there with spamming and registration problems that I’ve “currently” ;-) got under control. (We all know that this is a continuous battle against spammers as their approaches and techniques change [...]

I’ve had some site clean-ups getting rid of duff links and links to picture and articles that no longer exist on both the Crawling Chaos site and my Strangely Perfect blog. There were hundreds! They are all based on WordPress with a MySQL database backend and publicly available themes which I’ve twiddled a bit. This [...]
