WordPress 2.8.3

Its been long silent in my blog, anyways, that’s quite a common phenomena. So Never Mind.
As usual, I  find an update available (wordpress 2.8.3) for my blog software and there were 7 plugins for which newer version is available. So effectively, I have to make 8 upgrades to keep my blog software in trend, and also intact and devoid of security threat, sql injection, bloats etc
8 Upgrades, That’s a humongous task if it were in older versions of wordpress. In wordpress 2.8 series, its just one click/update. I made a total of 8 clicks. Now,  I am all set to blog with wordpress2.8.3 .   CU

Google Ads – My First WP Hack

The Objective of this hack to display Google Ads (or) some copyright notice at the bottom of every page of wordpress.

Before Jumping into the Hack, There is two other way to acheive the same.

  1. Edit the footer.php file in the wordpress theme folder (wp-contents/themes/) to add the Google-ad code. 
    (The disadvantage of this method is that, when you change the theme, you need again edit the footer.php file in the new theme)
  2. Using a wordpress plugin post footer. By this plugin, one can add  any text/html to the footer of the posts. 
    (Disadvantage : Plugin Advertisement / unwanted  upgrades)

Now, the Hack Script is as follows
Place your google code at the html commented section of code below

 <?
  function sp_add_page_footer() {
 ?>
 <!--You're text or google Ad goes here--> 
 <?
 }
 add_action('get_footer', 'sp_add_page_footer', 10);
 ?>

 That’s it.. copy the code, place it in my-hacks.php which is created at the wordpress root folder.  Voila!! The first wordpress hack

Hacking WordPress!!!

WordPress presents an option for users to write their own hacks for one’s own wordpress. By this way, the blogger can write custom functionalities for wordpress in a hack  file called “my-hacks.php”, and the file needs to be placed in the root folder of the wordpress. WordPress will then execute this php code, for all web request to wordpress.

Note : For this to work, one should “enable legacy my-hack.php” check box in the “Miscellaneous” section of the wordpress admin -> “Settings” page .

Though this feature is an legacy feature of wordpress, I came to know about it very recently. Anyways, naan ready.. neenga readyaa?

Blog Updates

Past four days, I have been doing some changes to the blog that should have caused some web outages of my blog. I am sorry, if you are one of those who caught in the mid. But the sad to note, is that I have revert back all the changes that i made to blog, as I was dissatisfied with my changes.

Anyways, Blogs, the new medium of sharing, consumes more time (kills time) and in addion to that, it needs to be arranged in a proper order. Few days back, I have posted a video on my Edinburgh trip made by Chirag, soon more videos were yet to be released, under the category “video series”, I have to ensure that the size of the video is less, so that many can view it without any problems. For Now make sure you have..
