Notes about changes to the blog

February 1, 2010 No Comments

I made a change in my WordPress setup two days ago that I couldn’t undo and as a result this blog didn’t show up properly. I think I made WordPress make a change in the .htaccess file.
It was possible to reinstall the blog by visiting (…../blog/)wp-admin/install.php in my browser but since it wanted to create a new database it demanded for the old databases to be deleted first.
Luckily I have a plugin installed called WordPress Database Backup that sends me a backup of the database every week. So I could delete the database, reinstall WordPress and reinstall the database again and everything was back to normal

I was happy with the Statement-theme by BlogOhBlog that I used, but decided at this unfortunate occasion to switch to this Igloo-theme from BizzArtic nevertheless as it seems to have many more options and I have good experiences with BizzArtic. I have not tweaked all things properly yet, but I hope to fix that soon.

The feedburner feed is a mess for example, as I can not access the old feedburner.com feed. Feedburner has been taken over by Google so now the feedburner address feedburner.com links to feedburner.google.com, where my feed unfortunately doesn’t show up in the list of feeds I own. So for now I ran the feedburner feed through feedburner, producing an interesting http://feeds.feedburner.com/feedburner/iILz link.
