NextGen Gallery fails to create new gallery

matt — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 15:23:26 +0000

For some reason the slug field was missing in the wp_6_ngg_gallery on one of my WordPress multisite blogs.

The fix . . .

ALTER TABLE `wp_6_ngg_gallery` ADD `slug` VARCHAR( 255 ) NULL AFTER `name`;
ALTER TABLE `wp_6_ngg_pictures` ADD `image_slug` VARCHAR NOT NULL AFTER `pid`

Growing Onions

matt — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 03:34:24 +0000

Springtime is right around the corner and the sun is getting stronger. The weather is still too cold to plant anything outside, but perfect for the windowsill. Just planted a second row of onions tonight; they’re a week behind the first three.

Transplanted Oak Tree

matt — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 03:24:17 +0000

My transplanted oak tree that was grown from a volunteer in my yard. I mowed around it where it first grew for 5 years until it got this size. I read somewhere that you should transplant a tree in the Springtime before “bud burst” to avoid shock from transplanting.

SlidePress Plugin Redirect Bug

matt — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 14:24:46 +0000

When clicking on settings links for the SlidePress plugin in a multi-user WordPress site the plugin would redirect to /wp-admin/?c=1 for each domain except the parent site.

[code lang="php"]function get_current_user_role() {
global $current_user, $wp_roles;
$role_names = $wp_roles -> get_names();
/* UPDATED 11/2/2010 9:21 AM
* by matt.thiessen@sourcemedia.net
*/
// modified [start]
reset($current_user->roles);
$first_key = key($current_user->roles);
return preg_replace( "/\|.*/", '', $role_names[$current_user->roles[$first_key]]);
/*old*///return preg_replace( "/\|.*/", '', $role_names[$current_user->roles[0]]);
// modified [end]
}[\code]

Also, make sure if you are an admin user with super user privileges you are added at a admin user to the site you are using the SlidePress plugin.

This will add proper capabilities to the database in the wp_usermeta table.
meta_key: wp_25_capabilities
meta_value: a:1:{s:13:"administrator";s:1:"1";}

Still Paying Retail with Online Shopping?

Why? If you are not hunting around for discounts before you shop online you are getting ripped off. When you shop at the FHTM Rewards Mall you can save yourself up to 30% in rebates and 60% in discounts.
