It is a very simple plugin to use. Follow the instructions for installing it and away you go! You don’t even have to go through the trouble of going through their setup script or creating their config file. Everything has been done for you and the settings from your WordPress setup will be passed over.
Some of the features have been removed or changed slightly for things to work and to maintain security. However you’ll find that most of the things you are used to are still available. Due to the changes that I made, you will only be able to access the phpMyAdmin console from within your WordPress admin console. Trying to link directly will bomb!
If you need help on using phpMyadmin, please go to their site and you will find extensive documentation on how to use it.
If you are feeling generous after trying this plugin out, please support my efforts through the donate link you see on my site. I’ve been cracking the code out on my free time, so even a small token amount is appreciated.
Installation
1. Extract the files and transfer the ‘wp-phpmyadmin’ folder to your plugins folder.
2. Log into your admin panel and click on ‘Activate’.
3. Goto the ‘Manage’ tab of your admin console and you’ll find phpMyAdmin.
Language Support
phpMyAdmin has the ability to support multiple languages. For this plugin I have included the files for only the following languages:
1) English
2) Chinese simplified and traditional
3) French
4) German
5) Japanese
6) Korean
7) Spanish
I did this because providing the full set of languages was putting a strain on my bandwidth and was starting to cost me money on the hosting side. As I provide this plugin for free, and since no one seems to be donating, the best thing that I could do was to remove some of the languages.
If you need to use other languages, you will need to download the phpMyAdmin (Version 2.8.2) file from the phpMyAdmin site. After unzipping the file, go to the ‘lang’ directory and copy the language file that you need to the ‘lang’ directory for the WP-phpMyAdmin plugin. Becareful not to delete or overwrite other files as they have been modified to work within WordPress. If you are unsure of this, do get in touch with me and I’ll try to help you.

LightPress is a frontend for the popular WordPress blogging platform. A frontend is the code sitting between the db and your blog’s readers, which manages all user interaction and displays the relevant content appropriately formatted. I started this project because, even though WordPress is easy to install and has plenty of features, it has a couple of serious drawbacks for a non-casual user: it’s slow, its queries are suboptimized, and its code has no clear distinction between program logic and layout, making customization very boring and time-consuming. In contrast, the principles behind LightPress are ones I have learned learned by trial and error in more than ten years of Web development:
* reduce abstractions to a minimum
* separate code and layout as much as possible
* stay close to the language, don’t overengineer
* pay attention to how your relational data is stored and retrieved
* keep an eye on performance
With the exception of comment and trackback submission, LightPress just wraps the data stored in the relational DB with an XHTML layout, and provides a way to navigate through it.
Features
LightPress has been developed to be faster than WordPress, and to ease customization of both its layout and code. Its main features are:
* faster page rendering than WP, using less and faster queries
* layout components abstracted in simple XHTML files, using easy to read templating variables as placeholders for the live data
* installs as a WP plugin, integrates with the WP admin console for management
* two modes of operation, testing (lets WP manage your root URL) and root (takes over your root URL)
* one-way (testing) or two-way (root) options synchronization with WP
* mod_rewrite rules generation
* comment antispam included and enabled by default
* optional statistics plugin and DB table to efficiently log traffic
* search results available as RSS/Atom feeds
* conditional GET support for feeds
* a powerful plugin architecture, that allows the developer to concentrate on the extra functionality in a single, separate class
* no includes, scattered functions, variable name clashes, etc.
* basic features abstracted in only a few classes, which can be instantiated and used from a custom file with a couple of lines of code
* DB interaction achieved via a simple wrapper class, to enable the use of different databases via custom wrapper classes
Limitations
LightPress has a few (obvious) limitations compared to a full WordPress
install. The main ones are:
* WordPress templates do not work
* WordPress “output” plugins (ie those that modify your blog’s public pages) do not work, though plugins that interact with the admin console work fine
* only two nested levels of categories are supported in the sidebar (this is to speed up SQL operations)

Place fixdb.php in your /wp-content/plugins/ folder and the login to your admin area. Activate the plugin. Now in the admin area, when you click Options there will be a sub-menu titled “Fix Database.” Go to that link, if you click the button on that page titled “Fix Database” the script will then check all the tables within that database. If any report an error it will attempt to repair the table. Once that is done it will optimize the tables.
Good for when the comments table is left open and nobody is able to make or view comments until it is repaired. Now you don’t have to log into phpMyAdmin to repair the table, just run this.

I wrote a plugin that can be useful if you are going to move your blog to a different site. There are many options that needs to be changed if the URL of your blog changes, at least ’siteurl’ and ‘home’. This is normally done manually updating the values in the database table wp_options, since you can not reach the WordPress administration sites if these URLs are wrong. If you use a plugin that makes use of Google Maps you need to update the API key as well.
This plugin has only been tested with the WordPress 2.1 branch, but might work with older versions. Please report on compatiblity with other versions.
Please read the readme.txt file that is included in the archives for installation directions. It is important to understant the structure of the array variable in the configuration file.
I suggest you leave the option “df_fileconf_update” to false until you are certain that you have entered the correct options and they are working. If your blog stops working then you can change the option “df_fileconf_active” to false to disable the usage of the configuration file.

This is an easy-to-use plugin to quickly backup your WordPress database. You may download the backup file, or have it emailed to the address of your choice. By default, the core WordPress tabels are backed up.
You may select additional tables, if any, and choose how you’d like to receive your backup file. This may also be used with the WP-Cron package from Skippy to receive daily backups automatically to your email.
Installation
Please be sure to read the installation instructions included in the zip file. For the impatient, here they are:
1. Create a directory /wp-content/backup/ inside your WordPress directory. $ cd wordpress/wp-content $ mkdir backup
2. Make this directory writable by your webserver. $ chgrp www-data backup $ chmod g+w backup
3. Insall and activate the plugin
4. Navigate to Manage -> Backup
5. Backup!
Delivery Method Details
None
This will save the database backup in your /wp-content/backup/ directory on your server. This is provided as a convenience only. Please do not leave your database backup files lying around!
Email
The backup file will be emailed to the address you specify. Gzip compression is strongly encouraged. Once delivered, the backup file will be deleted from the server.
Download
The backup file will be sent to your browser, where you can save it to your local workstation. Gzip compression is strongly encouraged. Once downloaded, the backup file will be deleted from the server.
The Fine Print
This plugin works for me. Currently, I have about 160 posts, with a little over one thousand comments. A gzip compressed backup of my database produced with this plugin is about 460 KB. This plugin was successfully tested on another blog with 1369 posts and 4000 comments. The gzipped backup file was ahout 1.3 megabytes, and was successfully emailed and downloaded. If you have a huge database (tens of thousands of posts and comments) this plugin may not work for you, for any of the following reasons:
* PHP memory limit: server operators can limit the amount of memory a PHP script may use. If the size of your database backup exceeds this limit, the backup will not succeed.
* PHP time out: server operators can limit the amount of time for which a PHP script may run. If it takes longer than this amount of time to backup your database, the backup will not succeed.
* Email attachment file size limitations: many email providers do not accept email attachments greater than a certain size. If your database backup is excessively large, it may not make it to your Inbox.
* insufficient disk space: although extremely unlikely, if your server does not have space to store the temporary backup file, the backup will not succeed.
Please note that including the database tables for your plugins in the backup is likely to introduce any (or all) of the problems listed above. Plugins like user and statistics tracking, or spam filter logs, can grow to enormous sizes.
Finally, although this plugin works for me, I will not accept any responsibility for any problems that this may cause for you. Use this plugin at your own risk.

WP OpenAds is a Wordpress Plugin that allows website owners to easily integrate advertising into their posts and pages. Although WP OpenAds can be used with any advertising script, it was written with the idea of using OpenAds, formerly PHPAdsNew, as the main utility. OpenAds is a very powerful, focused advertising management system. If you are serious about delivering targeted advertising, you should not pass this open-source program up.
I decided to write WP OpenAds primarily because my site focuses on several different topics. Although website programming and marketing are my main topics, I do like to write about other things including football and baseball (as many of you have undoubtedly noticed). Marketers need the ability to deliver focused advertising dependent upon the situation. WP OpenAds does just that.
Installation:
You only need two pieces of information, a keyword, and your ad source code. Your keyword should accurately describe your ad, such as the location of the ad, what the ad is about, it’s size, etc. Though not currently done on this version, I may make future verisions of WP OpenAds keep a log of statistics depending on the keyword.
Add your advertisement source code where fielded. You do not need to add any escape characters. PHP coding is fine as is HTML. The information will be stored in the database and retrieved when asked.
Getting the Right Code:
After you’ve added the advertisement, you will see a table at the bottom of the page. The table lists all of your advertisements, along with an Ad ID, your Keywords, and three sets of code.
* Index Code: (Provides little direct control over what ads to display on what pages) This is the code you will place directly into your index.php page. WP OpenAds uses Custom Field tags from your individual Posts and Pages to determine what ad to display. As of this time, the Index page does not have that information (as you cannot add it). If you wish to have one ad appear at the top of all your website pages, you will need to ad this code in the appropriate section. NOTE: the integer passed to the wpOpenAdsGetKeyword function is your relevant Ad ID. If you change that number manually at any time, do not add quotes. Also, use caution about where you place the code. If you place this in a loop, the advertisement will appear numerous times on your index page.
* Script Code (PHP): (Provides moderate control over what ads to display) You will place this code in your single.php or page.php file. Here’s how:
1. When you write a Post or Page, you will need to add a custom tag to your Post or Page.
1. You can assign whatever variable you like as your Custom Field Key. For example, I used mainIndexHdr_Marketing. You may wish to make this tag equal to the keyword you assigned to your invidiual ad. So that you can easily know what the ad is for and where it is from, I would advise just that. For the value, you will enter the Ad Id of the advertisement you wish to display. Make a note of the size of the ad, as you do not want to put a 728X90 banner on your sidebar (I did during testing)!
2. After you’ve saved the Custom Field Tag for your Post or Page and Published it, go back to the WP OpenAds plugin page and copy the Script code for the advertisement you wish to display. For example:
ID, ‘Your Custom Field Key‘, $single = true)); ?>
You will replace Your Custom Field Key with the Custom Field Key you entered in the post. You do not need to add an Ad Id, as you already did in the post. WP Open Ads will find the Custom Field Key and retrieve the value automatically. It will then access the database and pull the corresponding advertising code.
3. Save your single.php or page.php and upload it to your server. If you have not attached a Custom Field Key to a Post or Page, WP Open Ads will not display an ad nor should it result in an error.
# Post/Page Code: (Provides accurate control over what ads to display) You will paste this code directly into the content of your Post or Page. When you insert this tag, WP OpenAds will replace this code with your advertising code. Using this code directly in your Post or Page will allow you to deliver specific advertising depending upon the topic of your Post or Page. NOTE: If you delete the advertisement that corresponds to the code, however, WordPress will display the code. No personal information, of course, is revealed; it simply shows up as it does when you are editing or writing your Post or Page. As of this time, WP OpenAds does not log where you use individual tags, so if you delete and advertisement, you should keep track of what Posts and Pages you have that advertisement appearing on. We’ll make this easier on future releases. Caution: Be careful of where you place this code in your Post or Page. Wherever your Post or Page appears on your website, the advertisement may, as well. With my setup, I use the More tag specifically for previews on my home page. If I were to place the code above that More tag, numerous advertisements will appear on my home page. This could violate terms and conditions if you use different sources of advertising for your different articles. Always test your website to make sure it is displaying as you want it to.
