In reply to: WP CONFIG edit fails to fix URL issue on WPAh ha….more digging reveals that the image transfer does not update IP addressing:

Does this functionality transfer IP address?Andrew Starr-Bochicchio Mod Hamdi • 10 months ago
No, this doesn’t transfer the IP address. The IP is associated with the original droplet, not the snapshot. In fact, you can have multiple snapshots of the same droplet.”So, where are IP addresses housed in the WP setup and DB? It seems like that scripting solution might be my best bet…

In reply to: WP CONFIG edit fails to fix URL issue on WPMy VPS provider (Digital Ocean) has a process whereby I:
1. Power off the instance (they call it a droplet)
2. Take a snapshot of the instance while offline
3. Send it to new account holder
4. Spin up the image under the new account older as a new droplet
5. Set up DNS on their account
6. Reconfigure their registrar to point to the new IP address and name servers (ns1.digitalocean.com, ns2.digitalocean.com, ns3.digitalocean.com)My understanding was that taking the snapshot would do the same as an export/import of the database. I did not do anything like that manually…

In reply to: WP CONFIG edit fails to fix URL issue on WPUsing the plugins woudl be great, but I can’t get to the admin panel on either site…
As to being a developer, not the case. Never claimed to be able to develop themes – I am very much just a guy that helps people set up their websites and know enough about DNS, registration, hosting, and WP to do basic installs for people and get them up and running.
In my mind:
1. Developers are people that know code, write code, build themes from scratch, etc.
2. DB admins perform queries in databases, lookups, searching, replacing, building, etc.
Speaking to #1 – I can probably deconstruct and flesh out problems in existing PHP but writing it from scratch – not my ballywick
Speaking to #2 – I know how to Google things like “run a SQL query to search and replace 🙂
All that said, after reading through the process for the Search and Replace for WordPress Databases Script (and thank you for linking me btw), that does seem pretty pain-free so will give that a whirl tonight. If I still have problems, I will probably just have the host redeploy WP and build it up from scratch again (it only took me about an hour or so to get the basics fleshed out…and all the images I have saved 🙂

In reply to: WP CONFIG edit fails to fix URL issue on WPThanks Clayton – yeah, I’ve been to that page and while the documentation is solid advice for someone fluent in db administration, the simple fact of the matter is that I am not that familiar with db administration. I was hoping someone could actually provide a more in-depth analysis than querying the subject line of this post and then pointing me to the WP wiki.
While I love the WP platform, often the forums have been less than satisfactory for this exact reason – everyone assumes that anyone who throws something up there for assistance has fluency across the board, when in reality, those of us that post questions likely are doing so simply because we do NOT have proficiency or fluency to that degree.
NO offense to Clayton, but I need some assistance that doesn’t point me to an article that refers to obscure DB import/exports and searching for IP addresses and cleaning that up and all that…there’s got to be a PHP file somewhere that has a redirect in it – just would like someone who has the time to help me take a look at this specific scenario and say:
“Your problem is in file XYZ.PHP” Go into your editor and change this line of code from:

In reply to: [Plugin: Podcasting] MP3s not saved in Podcast RSS FeedOkay, thanks. Got that part fixed. Now that my history is fixed (for the most part), I am moving to a hosted solution for new episodes and eventually I am going to have to update the URL that iTunes feeds from so that it migrates over from mine to theirs. I had this functionality under the podpress and blubrry plugins, but don’t see one for podcasting. Am I missing something obvious or is that not there either?

In reply to: [Plugin: Podcasting] MP3s not saved in Podcast RSS FeedI don’t see a way to update the feed URL in the podcasting plugin for my blog – that keeps showing up as a prepopulated item – any ideas?
blog: http://www.canonblogger.com
feed: http://www.canonblogger.com/feed
redirects to feedburner (now google) http://www.feeds2.feedburner.com/CanonBloggerAnd the error I (and others) are getting is:
<enclosure url=”http://www.canonblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/audio/CBPodcast64.mp3″ length=”a:5:{s:6:”format”;s:14:”default-format”;s:8:”keywords”;s:0:””;s:6:”author”;s:0:””;s:6:”length”;s:0:””;s:8:”explicit”;s:0:””;}” type=”a:5:{s:6:”forma” />
How is it putting all that crap in in there and not entering the correct length info?

In reply to: wordpress feed and feedburnerI did see that – I went back and checked the post as I noticed that too, but did not see anything in the html of that to indicate I did something wrong with the post. I even deleted the attachment on the post, and m on the verge of deleting the post itself. I also disabled podpress to see if that would clean things up, but apparently something is generating the XML data behind the scenes that isn’t vaidating and I can’t figure out where it is…
Any other ideas?

In reply to: Class.create is not a functionScratch that – not a lightbox error – I recently installed the “ShareThis” plugin and apparently they use different javascripting that breaks prototype (whatever that is)…
