• Wordpress 2.7 Release Candidate 1
  Posted on Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008 in Information - Comments: (6)
  Wordpress development team announced the release of Wordpress 2.7 RC1, which means that they are in the final development before the release of 2.7.Before the release of RC1, we have gone through three beta version and saw a lot of new features of Wordpress 2.7. The release of this RC1 will includes a lot of bug fixes and new menu icons.As shown in the screenshot, Wordpress 2.7 has a new Dashboard design.

If you browse to your Wordpress Folders such as wp-content, you may see something like this:

That means, others can easily know your installed themes and plugins, which is very dangerous and easily to hacked by hackers.

There are two ways to solve this problem. The first method is create an empty index.php file and put under the folder. The other method is edit your .htaccess file, add an entry “Options -Indexes” (withour quotes).

The second method is a more advance and secure method as you need to put index.php file in each folders if you use the first method.

How often are you change your Wordpress admin’s password? What happen if you forgot your Wordpress admin account password? Do you need to delete the databse and recreate it?

Although you cannot recover your current admin’s password, but it is not neccessary to delete the database and recreate it. You can simply replace it with a new password. Here, i will show you a very simple method to replace the password.

First of all, open your favorite code editor, or simply Notepad if you don’t have any. Then, place these code into the file and save it as reset.php.

<?php
require('./wp-blog-header.php');

global $wpdb;
$password = '12345';    //change this to your desired password.
$admin_login = 'admin';        //your Wordpress admin username.

$wpdb->query("UPDATE $wpdb->users SET user_pass = MD5('$password') WHERE user_login = '$admin_login'");
?>

You can replace the ‘12345‘ with your desired password and ‘admin’ with your admin account username. After that, upload the reset.php file to your Wordpress root folder.

Then, go to your browser and type “http://your-domain.com/reset.php“. Done! You can now login with your new admin password.

Note: Please delete the reset.php file from the server after you reset your password.

A lot of bloggers sell their sidebar space for ads. Normally, they will sell three to four 125×125 ads space, and the price ranging from $50 to $250 per space.

Selling an ads space is not easy, especially for unpopular blogs. So, you may need a system to help you get advertisers.

Now, PerformancingAds can help you. It was found by a group of experience people which familiar in buying and selling ads. You can place regions and earn credits when advertisements are booked in your regions. You can then use those credits to buy ads displayed on other publisher sites.

The affiliate program is quite interesting. You can earn $10 for each publisher or advertiser that you refer and earn 5% recurring revenue on all advertiser ad buys for life. Some example here:

Let’s say that you refer 2 new advertisers per month and each spends an average of $250 per month. Within 1 year, you’d be making a cool $300 per month in 100% passive income.

But wait. Let’s say that you referred 5 new advertisers per month. Now you’re talking over $750 per month after 1 year.
