Het werkt!

Eindelijk het theme dat doet wat het moet doen. Heerlijk overzichtelijk, ik heb nog geen 2% van wat het theme in zich had moeten wijzigen en ook op allerlei browsers ziet het er nu ook fatsoenlijk uit. De tijd om de pagina te laden is ook acceptabel en allerlei overbodige meuk heb ik nu niet meer in gebruik ..

Ik ben weer een happy user

Status for today with the site

I’m preparing some more banners (main-banner) and I added all the Google-Adsense code to the openads installation. I do not use the ‘upgraded’ phpads/openads installation anymore but installed the new version. (see openads 2.3 hell)

I’ve found out that my issues (not updating newly inserted ads) are related to  /var/cache what is not deleted/updated by the openads configuration.

Right now I have 5 zones where I can add various forms of banners / logo’s / ads .. very kewl to experiment with ..

Hacked :-(

My Erotica weblog [nsfw] was compromised by some Turkish Fans .. They were so nice to add an index.html to my site .. Probably due to some buggy old WordPress Installation I used .. (meanwhile upgraded) .. I cannot imagine they used something else to upload their index.html .. I even could not find a lot of information about those turkish fans …

Hit the image to see what kind of Graffiti they left on the site ..

Openads 2.3 Hell

Openads 2.3 is a hell to use .. it’s new, it’s fresh, it’s a  huge update compared to 2.0 and after installing and using it: it’s a hell on cache level.

I have a lot of ‘single’ banners with single zone and when I try to embed it I see all kinds of other banners displayed .. After searching for ours it seems that when deleting the cache folder the ads / images are displayed correctly. This is really a mess and terrible and absolutely not seen in a previous version of Openads ..

:: Update ::

message to self: when removing the cache files: hell becomes heaven.  Issues seems to be solved that way. Thanks for the update Oliver.

Less is more!

A new Theme, Removed many plugins .. speed up the pages, archive change, google-ads better positioned. Updated openads, but 2.3 version has a severe ‘cache’ problem (cache is not deleted after updating zones etc.. ) ..

Now some background stuff to add again: google-analytics & some other stuff ..

Message to Self: WordPress 2.2.2 array fix

WordPress 2.2.2 has a very strange bug on some servers. After installing the 2.2.x branch successfully you try to configure in the wp-admin menu some settings and all settings show ‘array’ . Archhhh ..

after very long waiting finally found a working solution in the wordpress forum:
Try edit /wp-includes/plugin.php [Line : 102], inside remove_filter function.
Change :

unset($GLOBALS['wp_filter'][$tag][$priority][serialize($function_to_remove)]);
To : $wp_filter[$tag][$priority][serialize($function_to_remove)] = array();
unset( $wp_filter[$tag][$priority][serialize($function_to_remove)] );

this fix in the plugin.php file will fix all the ‘array’ appearances and you can work with the new WordPress 2.2.x version.
So message to self: try to upgrade this weekend to 2.2.2 where plugins and theme keeps unaltered ;-)

Weblog Speed ..

Change the Archives from Monthly to Yearly (hey .. I’m blogging 7 years) .. cause all those months were taking too much systemresources when it was taken out of the database .. .. I’m still listening to old friends .. <G>
