WordPress self-hosting: How to change default email sender name?
Well, let’s get to the answers! So far, I’ve found two ways how to fix the problem.
[contentblock id=1 img=adsense.png]
- I call it ‘a temporary trick’, anyway, let’s go to the wp-include directory and open pluggable.php, then search:
$from_name = 'WordPress';
and change it with your name (website name or anything you want).It’s simple and it works, indeed! Unfortunately we have a drawback here, you have to do it every time you update WordPress into the recent one. That’s why I called it a temporary trick. However I use it because it’s effective.

How I Added Video Post Format into Minds (TwentyEleven Child Theme)
Several days ago I got a feedback that asked me about how I added video post format into my Minds (TwentyEleven child theme). Unfortunately I could not reply the feedback yet since I am new to the contact form system by Jetpack (Automattic). I guess the feedbacks would appear in my email, instead, it appeared on the feedbacks menu on the dashboard (shame on me 😛 ). That’s why I would like to try to explain here the way I added video format into child theme, in this case, Minds child theme.

Mac OS: Memperbaiki masalah FTP login di WordPress pada XAMPP (localhost)
Mungkin sebagian dari anda pernah mengalami kesulitan ketika akan mengupload plugin atau theme WordPress yang menggunakan XAMPP sebagai server dan Mac OS sebagai platformnya karena dia meminta username dan password untuk FTP lokal. Masalah ini pula yang saya temui ketika saya mencoba mendevelop web berbasis WordPress di Linux maupun di Mac OS. Kemudian saya mencari beberapa solusi di internet, dan beberapa solusi yang saya temukan tidak memecahkan masalah. Salah satu contohnya adalah menggunakan username ‘nobody’ dan password ‘localhost’.
Lalu sampailah saya di web ini, pendekatan yang digunakan cukup radikal tapi efektif menyelesaikan masalah. Singkatnya, cara yang digunakan adalah mengoverride ‘nobody’ pada ‘httpd.conf’ dengan username Mac OS anda, langkahnya sebagai berikut.
Edit httpd.conf sebagai Admin
Buka ‘terminal’ lalu ketikkan baris perintah di bawah ini. Perintah tersebut bertujuan untuk membuka aplikasi TextEdit untuk mengedit berkas ‘httpd.conf’. Selain TextEdit, bisa digunakan juga aplikasi teks lain yang disukai seperti SublimeText dsb.
sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit /Applications/XAMPP/etc/httpd.conf
Ubah user name dan group name
Selanjutnya cari dua baris berikut,
User nobody Group admin
ubah dengan ‘username’ Mac OS anda dan ‘staff’ untuk group,
User username-anda Group staff
kemudian simpan dan restart xampp
Sejauh ini cara tersebut efektif untuk masalah yang saya temui, mungkin bisa juga digunakan untuk linux 🙂

How to add Post Format function in WordPress Child Theme
[contentblock id=1 img=adsense.png]
We used to use our child theme of TwentyEleven for this site that support some Post Format functions including video. However several days ago, we update our WordPress site into the new one as well as updating the TwentyEleven theme. Unfortunately, I could not use video format since I modified the functions.php from the parent theme which was changed as it is updated now while my old parent’s function also updated. So I was googling how to add post format function in WordPress child theme in order to fix it. Fortunately I found the trick on wordpress.stackexchange.com and it is very useful. Below is the code and I added it into the child theme’s functions.php.
// add post-format in child theme
add_action('after_setup_theme', 'minds_setup', 11);
function minds_setup() {
add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array( 'aside', 'link', 'gallery','status', 'quote', 'image', 'video' ));
}

Minds: Free Tumblr-like WordPress Twenty Eleven Child Theme
A couple of days ago, I was looking for Twenty Eleven Child Theme for this site. Luckily, I found it on WPMU.org in article 8 Free Twenty Eleven Child Theme by Siobhan McKeown. However, because I was looking for the theme that looks like Tumblr theme, my eyes focused directly on HUM theme by Daryl Koop. It has a fixed header (contains site title, featured image, search box and navigation section) which is located on the left side, and what I like most is its simplicity has made it a beautiful child theme. However, I made several modifications to meet my mood like you can see now. Continue reading “Minds: Free Tumblr-like WordPress Twenty Eleven Child Theme”
