WordPress – Gallery Template for Gallery Plugin Shows Extended Search Area Beneath Gallery

Use GoDaddy Control Panel, File Manager and Search (Control-F) the Gallery Templates (gallery-single-template.php) & (gallery-template.php) and remove the line: <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

Look in public_html, find wp-contents folder\themes\tempera

If the files don’t exist in the tempera folder, copy them from the public_html/wp-content/plugins/gallery-plugin/templates folder.

WordPress – Counterize Web Stats Date Is Incorrect

Counterize II stats for “Today” in the WordPress admin dashboard were reseting back to zero in the middle of the day!

This is because the php script is querying the database for those stats based on the web server’s timezone, which was UTC, in my case. I needed the script to query based on my timezone. It was a very easy fix:

Somewhere in the beginning of the counterize.php script, add the line:

date_default_timezone_set(‘America/Chicago’);

Of course, change the America/Chicago to your timezone.

Try flushing the DNS:

(1) Open the command prompt. The command to flush DNS needs to be entered in the command prompt. Accessing the command prompt is slightly different depending on which version of Windows you are running: •Windows 8 – Press the Windows key + X and select “Command Prompt (Administrator)”.
•Windows 7/Vista – Click the Start menu and enter “cmd” into the Search field. Right click on Command Prompt and select “Run As Administrator”.
•Windows XP – Click on the Start menu and then click Run. Enter “cmd” into the Run field and press Enter.

(2) Use the DNS flush command. Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter. A message will appear stating “Windows IP configuration successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache”.

(3) Exit the command prompt. Type exit and press Enter. This will close the command prompt.
