You would find this useful if you want to redirect one or more of your WordPress page(s) to another website. For example, you want a link on your navigation that will fetch your visitors to your Flickr or to your forum which is located at another address.

There are two ways of doing this, using a redirect php file or by just using a meta tag.

The Use of Meta Tag

1. Create a WordPress page
2. In the page, insert this meta tag:
   <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://example.com" />
3. Substitute “0″ which the number of seconds you want to delay before redirecting. Substitute “http://example.com” with the URL of the website you want to redirect to

The Use of redirect.php

1. Download and upload the redirect.php file by cavemonkey50 to your theme’s directory (/wp-content/themes/theme name/)
2. Create a WordPress page
3. Select “Redirect” as your page template.
4. Add a custom field with the key “redirect” and the value being the URL of your targeted website

I personally prefer the second method, as using meta tag seems to delay the redirecting more.

If you upgrade your blog regularly every time WordPress releases a new version, you should know how pain it is to deactivate every single plugins you have there. Deactivate one.. page reload..wait.. deactivate another.. page reload.. wait.. (you get the idea)

To replace this very important feature WordPress should be including by default, Alex had released a plugin last year, called 1 Click to Stop & Start Plugins. All you have to do is to download the single php file, upload it to your plugins folder, and activate it in your ‘Plugins’ page.

By then, you should see a ‘Deactivate All Plugins’ button at the bottom of your ‘Plugins’ page. The next time you want to deactivate all your plugins, be it for version upgrading or troubleshooting your WordPress problem, just click on the ‘Deactivate All Plugins’ and pooof, everything is deactivated.

When everything is deactivated, it means that the 1 Click to Stop & Start Plugins
is deactivated as well. Now after you are done with your upgrading and stuff, you can activate all your plugins you last deactivated again, but simply activating the 1 Click to Stop & Start Plugins plugin again. It remembers your last deactivated plugins.

WordPress 2.3.3 has been released today to fix a flaw in the xmlrpc.php

WordPress 2.3.3 is an urgent security release. A flaw was found in our XML-RPC implementation such that a specially crafted request would allow any valid user to edit posts of any other user on that blog.

There are also a few other minor bug fixes in this version, but if you wouldn’t mind them and just want the security fix, then download just the xmlrpc.php (just 60KB) and replace it with your existing copy.

Are you one of the victim being slapped by Google in the last two most recent PageRank update, for writing paid posts on your WordPress powered blog? And now, you wanted to be a good boy again, not writing anymore paid post, but not knowing what to do to all the old paid posts?

You have three choices, just leave it there, or insert “nofollow” to every single link you have in all your paid post, manually, and the last one, use a plugin namely NoSpamLinksPlugin to do the job.

The plugin consist of only one php file. After uploading it to your wp-content/plugins directory, you can configure it right way in your Options panel. Assuming you have a category for paid posts, you can nofollow all the links in that particular category easily.

Just select your paid posts category in the All No Follow section, and enter how old the posts should be before the nofollow is added. Voila, all your paid posts links are now nofollow-ed.
