When trying to upload a large file (archive) through File Manager in cPanel I came across this strange error:
An error occurred. Your account may be over its quota or you attempted to upload a folder.
Why strange ? Because everything in this account is set to unlimited. Just to be sure I double checked. Even the FTP user quota.
The domain was set to use Cloudflare and it blocked the upload going through.
The solution: disable caching in the DNS tab on Cloudflare, so it is set to “DNS only”.
i updated mysql using the tool provided in WHM. all seemed to run smoothly until it tried to restart mysql and i got this message:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
Mysql did not start up after upgrade; there may be a problem in /etc/my.cnf. at /usr/local/cpanel/Whostmgr/Mysql/Upgrade.pm line 857. Obtained version information from system. Proceeding with MySQL/MariaDB upgrade despite the following: Critical: The system detected issues with the current “/etc/my.cnf” file. These issues may interfere with the upgrade to MySQL 5.7. |
tried to reboot and restart services (old windows habits 🙂 ) and of course it didn’t work.
so i opened up a ssh connection, deleted all content from /etc/my.cnf and replaced it with:
|
1 2 |
innodb_force_recovery=4 innodb_purge_threads=0 |
restarted mysql again (with success) and then deleted once again all content from /etc/my.cnf and restarted mysql
went back to whm – Upgrade MySQL and clicked on Resume Upgrade button
just to be sure i went back to ssh and ran
|

mysqlcheck --all-databases |
all good after that 😀
directly from google webmaster central blog:
what does violate Google’s guidelines on link schemes is when the main intent is to build links in a large-scale way back to the author’s site. Below are factors that, when taken to an extreme, can indicate when an article is in violation of these guidelines:
* Stuffing keyword-rich links to your site in your articles
* Having the articles published across many different sites; alternatively, having a large number of articles on a few large, different sites
* Using or hiring article writers that aren’t knowledgeable about the topics they’re writing on
* Using the same or similar content across these articles; alternatively, duplicating the full content of articles found on your own site (in which case use of rel=”canonical”, in addition to rel=”nofollow”, is advised)
Sites accepting and publishing such articles should carefully vet them, asking questions like: Do I know this person? Does this person’s message fit with my site’s audience? Does the article contain useful content? If there are links of questionable intent in the article, has the author used rel=”nofollow” on them?
i needed a voting system for a client’s wordpress website so i installed this plugin: kk Star Ratings
the standard version is great but has very few options. the quickest way to achieve what the client wanted was to customize the plugin a little bit
i had to replace the voting box with a message inviting the user to login/signup
i edited the file /wp-content/plugins/kk-star-ratings/index.php
search for this line:
|
1 |
return $markup; |
and replace it with:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
if(function_exists('kk_star_ratings')) { if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { return $markup; } else { echo 'Please login or signup to vote'; } } |
of course you can include HTML code between ‘ ‘ to further edit the message: include a link to login page, change the appearance (float, background)
with kk Star Ratings you can choose where you want the ratings to be placed (homepage, archives, posts, pages, categories) but you can’t hide it from some posts (custom posts in my case)
so i edited the file /wp-content/plugins/kk-star-ratings/index.php
search for this line:
|
1 |
return $markup; |
and replace it with:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
if(function_exists('kk_star_ratings')) { if(!in_array(get_the_ID(), array(101,151,1001))) { return $markup; } } |
where 101,151,1001 from the array are the ID’s of the posts
if you want / need a nice list showing the size of every folder and file

in order to embed a flash (swf) animation in a HTML page i use AC_RunActiveContent.js
you can download it from here (it’s a very old file that i’ve been using for years – not sure where i got it from and where to get a new version from 😀 – didn’t need one so far). just right-click on the link and choose save link as (chrome)
upload it to your server
in the head section include this line:
|
1 |
<script src="/path_to/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script> |
then include this piece of code where you want to show the animation

in \wp-content\themes\ideas\form-registration.php replace this line (73 on my site)

whenever a Google DFP (DoubleClick for Publishers) ad doesn’t deliver a banner (i.e. not enough inventory, not in the geographic location that you set up) you’ll have an empty blank space instead
to avoid this you’ll have to make a little change in the code
in the first piece of code, the one placed in head, insert this line
|
1 |
googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); |
before
|
1 |
googletag.enableServices(); |
did you receive a doc or docx file with an extra .p7s extension ? it’s a digitally signed document
in order to read it in ubuntu you’ll have to transform it back to the regular .doc or .docx file
here’s how to do this:
|
1 |
cd Downloads |
|
1 |
openssl smime -inform DER -verify -noverify -in file.docx.p7s -out file.docx |
now you have the file without the .p7s extension in the same folder you have the original file
just copy / paste the tweet url in the editor and the wordpress will do the rest
it will look like this:
I've figured out why old men wear black socks with tennis shoes. It's because they don't care what you think.
