[Fix] – Jupiter Theme: /jupiter/dynamic-styles/global/header.php on line 346

December 20, 2017 by Steven 1 Comment

After updating the WordPress Theme on a customers website, I was shown a white screen with the line: Can't use function return value in write context in /wp-content/themes/jupiter/dynamic-styles/global/header.php on line 346 Luckily I had just made a copy of the theme before updating it. Later on, during a time when no one would be visting [...]

Restrict wp-login.php Access With Htaccess

March 22, 2017 by Steven Leave a Comment

There's always a handful of ways to do anything, and using .htaccess to restrict access to your wp-login.php script fits right in to that logic. I'm assuming that if you are reading this that you are already aware of the .htaccess file, if you are not... The .htaccess file is a flat text file that [...]

WishList Member do_shortcode

January 13, 2012 by Steven Leave a Comment

I love the functionality of WishList Membership, but there are some limitations, a big one being that it wasn’t written for people to modify and adapt t existing templates easily. In a recent installation we wanted to allow people to view video 1 of a 7 video series, and when they click on any of […]

July 28, 2011 by Steven 6 Comments

I was recently working on a friends 1&1 server installing one of my plugins that is compiled and requires the ionCube Shared Object. 1&1 doesn’t offer servers with the ionCube Loader already configured, I read somewhere that any server worth using would have the Loader already installer, of which I completely agree with. After trying […]

Removing Date in Google Description Results (SERP)

June 26, 2011 by Steven 2 Comments

I noticed recently that one of my sites was showing a very old date for a post in Google’s Results page, and guess what I’m not alone, Google had been hitting a lot of people with the date issue and it hasn’t even been their fault… This had me a little confused since it is […]

WordPress Category Limitation with Slashes

April 6, 2011 by Steven Leave a Comment

I’ve found that when doing custom post types, and possibly all category naming, there is a limitation. Doing a category page for an item that contains a forward slash “/” in the name, not the slug does not work. Examples: Dude/Guest Ranch AirConditioning/Refrigeration It doesn’t convert it properly, therefore can not show results when doing […]

Custom Catalyst Theme Pages (example)

December 29, 2010 by Steven 1 Comment

Since I moved over to Catalyst from Frugal I noticed that the ability to use templates is now gone. They incorporated a new way of doing it using hooks. In Catalyst you can now see that there are new template options for pages: Blank Body – is absolutely blank Blank Canvas – has the header […]
