wordpress – Larry Rivera's Space On The Web

How To Fall In Love With Blogging Again – By Larry Rivera

Larry Rivera Somewhere around 2006 I finally decided to look into what all this wordpress buzz was all about. Clearly I was missing out on something. As the years roll by I keep blogging.

Especially here on this blog. I admit there has been days where I come to my blog and just stare at it. Wondering if anything will ever come of this space. I remember starting this blog thinking goodness do I really want someone knowing who Larry Rivera is?

Even more frighting was the thought of actually putting my thoughts where the world could potentially see them.

I had lot’s of hang ups when I first got started putting myself on the world wide web. I must admit though, I remember like many of you may remember the first time I got online.

Listening to my computer connect to the internet via AOL and being able to tap into the world and communicate with the rest of the world. I remember just searching and searching about anything and everything.

Once I finally stumbled upon the idea of blogging it was around 2006. I didn’t at the time have Larry Rivera as a domain. In my studies I read somewhere that you needed to brand yourself so I bought my name. Continue reading How To Fall In Love With Blogging Again – By Larry Rivera

WordPress Version 4.0 Kids Going Back To School & Other News

back to school I just updated this wordpress installation to version 4.0. Geeze where does the time go. WordPress does function a hell of a lot better. Even though people still have problems time to time with different plugins and themes.

So far so good though I like it!

… In Other News,

I finally got this blog back up and running. I am not longer hosting my websites with 1 and 1 hosting. I’ve had a love hate relationship with them since 2006. Anyhow if you have stopped by here in the past few days you may have noticed that my site was down. Thanks to my great friend and business partner Jamie Pelaez I am back up again!!!!

Things with Enter Shaolin are still coming together nicely. If all goes well we will be opening up the affiliate side of it soon.

My kids are going back to school. I have to say I love to have them home during the summer. They are growing up so fast it feels like yesterday that I was changing diapers. I confess though I am glad they have gone back. It gives them something to do, they get educated and most importantly its quite around here during the day.

Anyhow that’s all I have for right now. I plan on taking the effort to post around here more frequently so hopefully you will be hearing from me more often.

1 and 1 hosting wordpress fix for upgrading to 3.0

I will keep this short and sweet. I host most of my blogs on 1 and 1 hosting and ran into the problem (fatal error out of memory)

To solve this problem I search for hours trying to find a solution but none of them worked. Then I came across this and applied it and it worked great. I don’t know if this will work for other wordpress blogs hosted on other servers, but it worked for my 1 and 1 hosted blogs…

Open notepad.

Copy the following code in to notepad:

memory_limit=40M

Save the file as php.ini

Upload via FTP to BOTH your root directory of your blog as well as the wp-admin directory on your blog.

See if this resolves your problem. I was actually surprised that this worked for me. If not there are a more fixes but none of them worked for me.

Here are more solutions I found online:

1. Try looking for the php.ini file. You might find some redundant php.ini files, so make sure you have got the one which is actually being read by PHP. o be sure, create a new php file in your root folder, say “check.php” and have phpInfo(); within the php open and close tags. Execute this file to get the information on where the php.ini is residing. Normally it will be in /usr/local/lib/php.ini

Open the php.ini file in a text editor like TextPad (not in Notepad) and change the values for memory_limit. By default you should see memory_limit = 8M. Try changing it to 12M. If it doesn’t work, increase it to 16M or even 24M and so on.

2. In case you can’t find the php.ini file or do not have access to it, then open up the file which was throwing the error (admin.php in my case) and add a line below just after ini_set(’memory_limit’, ‘12M’);

3. You can even consider adding a line in .htaccess file which will resolve the issue.
php_value memory_limit 32M

4. Or else, Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
Increasing memory allocated to PHP
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '32M');

5. Call your hosting provider and bitch to them that you are spending money every month the least they could do is give you shit that works… ( I highly recommend this choice ^_^)
