Henbima - Internet Insight

Yes, that is the message i got every time i try to post a message in my latest project using WordPress.

I got Your attempt to edit this post: “The Post” has failed, whenever i try to publish a page or a post.

I saw this problem is a hot topic right now in Wordpress support forum. It said not everybody facing the same problem. Am i the lucky one? However thanks God, this blog does not face the same problem.

Anybody facing the same problem? Would be great if you could share with me how to solve the problem. Some said it because of the plugin conflict, but i haven’t see any explanation, which plugin raise the problem.

Thanks guys!

Since i can’t find any information regarding this problem, i delete my SQL database, and re-create new database with the same name.

Then i re-install the worpress normally. Go to mydomain.com/wp-admin/install.php.

Voila, it all done! So far no error found. Not sure what happened last time

I have just installed my new found plugin. A plugin that can make a custom version of url pointing everywhere you want in the internet. It’s far better than tinyurl who gave you a funny looking and unprofessional url redirection.

With this plugin, you can make long url address such as “somebodyswebsite.com/great/videos/this-is-a-great-video/” shortened to”mydomain.com/go/coolvideo”.

Gocodes Is Very Easy To Use

All this redirection process will require you minimum effort, no need to edit .htaccess or making some php code. You will just need set few things from your WordPress Admin panel.

To use gocodes, simply download from here, upload into your plugin folder and activate it.

Start manage redirection from your Wp-admin panel, Manage -> gocodes.

Simply add your key and where that key gonna lead. Later you can access the redirection using “mydomain/go/key”

From this panel, you will also be able see how much hits count done for the link, i use this as simple information how many people have click through my affiliate links. Read the rest of this entry »

Have you ever encountered WordPress blank screen? You type your address right, but found nothing there, you go into /wp-admin and the screen still show nothing but blank. What a WordPress user could possibly do if he/she can’t access the dashboard?

Few hours ago i had this problem, i was desperate and thought that i might need to reinstall my wordpress to solve this matter.

At first i didn’t notice what actually triggered the problem, because at that time, i were working on one of my post, tune my themes in another tab and has just finished uploading upgrade version one of the plugins.

I found out the problem after i have finished with all admin work and viewing the site. My site shows nothing, none, nada, null. I checked is it my hoster goes off, but no, nothing wrong. So what possibly happen?

The Solution 

Thank goodness it is a small world we are living in, and there is google who made it smaller, so as usual, i went searching with google. I used the “wordpress blank screen” as the keyword. I got few websites help me with this matter.

• Somebody wrote that the page just need to be refreshed (F5)
• Somebody wrote that it might because of the themes, solution is i have to re-upload the themes
• Somebody wrote it might be file corupt that made the screen goes black. I have to re-upload all the files. Gosshhh…
• Somebody wrote that it must be the cache plugins conflict that give me the pain.
• One website told me it might the plugin got screwed up, what i need is just rename or delete the last plugin i uploaded.

I guess, the last one is the easiest one. So i checked my plugins, and found out that i haven’t delete the old version of plugins i wanted to upgrade, they are still there with different folder name.
Deleting the old folder didn’t took long, after that I reloaded the page (F5) hastly, and voila, its there as it supposed to be!

So, if you stuck with same blank screen problem next time, take my suggestion, try to remember and check where did you put your hand last time, try to undo that. Next, check whether you do anything that made the plugins screwed?

Always take the re-install and re-upload as the last option. If you still can’t fix it, try to reach Google.

Just my two cents, have fun!

On Jan 27th i visited THC’s blog like i used to do almost everyday. I discovered new tools that could be used to edit a blog content and (possibly) increase bloggers productivity. There is 7 tools reviewed, i downloaded and tried two of them right away.

Windows Live Writer and Qumana are my choice, because beautiful interface i saw in them. I always have a gig on new software, especially freewares so i though this shinny little software might do something good for me

Livewritter got the first honor to be installed. Unfortunately after finishing the installation, the login process didn’t went well. There is problem with the xmlprc file that made me face the “Error 500: Internal Server Error”.

I though it was the Livewritter’s problem, than i found out Qumana installation also gave me the same problem. Then i post some question back in THC’s blog asking about problem i faced.

Solution’s given by Sueblimely in THC’s blog gave me hints how this might be fixed and also a link to MindTweaks website where i might could find sollution for this lil problem. MindTweaks solution’s can be found here

All of three first methods mentioned which are : change my theme to default theme, deactivate all the plugins and even delete any unused spaces found in xml file didn’t help. So i conclude there must be something wrong with the server.
Finally I opened a ticket and continue coresponding via e-mail with THC’s technicall support, below are part of our conversation

Hi, i tried using qumana blog writer today. I found a solution in thc blog, that i have to modify the xmlprc file in my blog folder. I found this error when i try to access the file : Error 500: Internal Server Error.

Good day Hendra,

You are in a shared server and very secured for all of our customers. The number one method hackers gain access to servers in the past two years has been through web-based injection attacks.

The applications which are most vulnerable (not a complete list, but given in order of vulnerability) include Wordpress, Joomla, Mambo, phpBB, and phpNuke.

One of the methods the attackers uses is XML RPC for which the mod_security rule is enabled.
For now, it is not in our plan to change this parameter for all the reasons mentionned above.

Well, honestly i was dissapointed that i could not use these softwares for my blogging activity. I really want to try and experience those blog editor’s capability.

It seems we, THC’s user have to wait a while until the security problem with XML RPC mentioned above solved… When? I don’t know.

How ever, I fully understood that THC,is doing this to protect me, us, their user, from any security problem might happen.

For now, i guess i have to suffice my self with WordPress’s internal editor.

Do you face the same problem? Do you have any other solution or technique that i could probably use? Please leave comments here, help will be much appreciate!!
