How to Change WPMU Category Name or Slug

April 29, 2008

I tried to edit my WordPress MU Category information such as category name and category slug. What happened at first is that often the category entry is totally replaced by a Tag entry. Other times, the category record's new information is not saved at all. I troubleshot the problem and here is some temporary solution for a MySQL literate user.

The problem

When attempt to change category name or slug, the category ID is gone and replaced with a new number, which is the ID of an existing tag. The worst thing is that the old misplaced category record completely disappeared from both the blog and the Categories editor page.

How to Remove Crazy WordPress MU HTML Filter

December 22, 2007

Have you ever seek for help on how to:

  • enable JavaScript for WordPress MU post;
  • remove WordPress MU HTML filter; or
  • enable advanced HTML tags and attributes, like embedded object, flash, video, etc?

I did. After migrating from WordPress 2.3.1 to WordPress MU 1.3.1 I lost all the JavaScript code from my posts and pages. I also experience few very serious issues, which I will write about later on.

Successful Migration to WordPress MU

December 12, 2007

I'm glad to announce that the migration progress is officially compete. I was spending most of the time looking for good plugins to use.

Do you notice everything look the same except the URLs? I was able to completely reserve the all data including:

  • Posts (Post ID also reserve, so the old links work fine)
  • Comments
  • Subscriptions to comments
  • Widgets
  • Plugins (with changes)
  • Themes
  • Everything else

There were some improvements in the process.

I will write more about the process later on, properly will include a complete guide "How to migrate from WordPress to WordPress MU".

Migrating to WordPress MU

December 9, 2007

I waited too long and the consequence is growing big. Have you read the article Should I Migrate to WordPress MU? Well, regardless of what others are saying, I'm going to migrate because:

  1. I found out that the migration process is not that easy. The links will break even though I was using ugly permalink.
  2. The longer I wait, the more posts I will have, hence the more trouble when migrating.
  3. I'm holding back on writing personal thoughts, which lead to lack of communication with family and friends.

Should I Migrate to WordPress MU?

November 29, 2007

It's been a while since this blog is up and running. I've been writing frequently and put myself into it. I participate in the community, learn from seniors and share my knowledge. It's time I need to consider about migrating to WordPress MU, for many reasons. Here I talk about:

  1. Why migrating?
  2. What is WordPress MU?
  3. Why WordPress MU?

Why migrating?

Many days have passed since I started thinking about URL structuring, website structuring, and multi-blogging. I've been holding back much because I don't want to write off-topic on my niche blog. "Binh dot Name" is pretty much a broad name, there is no "niche" in the name but I write much more about blogging tips than others, so far.
