| WordPress Stuck in Maintenance Mode Posted: 08 Jun 2012 07:00 AM PDT
Not only are visitors locked out, but even the Admin is locked out of the backend. If this happens to you, try one of the following solutions. 1. The solution that seems to work for most is to delete a file called ".maintenance" from the root of your site. This is a temporary file that gets created in the update process, and more than likely, this is your culprit. (Notice the *dot* at the beginning of the file name.) Again, this file rests on your server in your main WordPress install section. You CANNOT access it through the Admin area of your site. You will need to access the server through your webhost's system (like Cpanel) or via FTP. If you do not have access to files on your server, then contact your host and let them know the problem (and the solution, of course).
a Delete the .maintenance file as outlined in option #1 above. b Delete the plugin or theme that you were attempting to update. c. If your site does is not back at this point, then in your wp-content folder, you will find a folder called "upgrade." Delete the files or folders you find there. * Remember to clear the cache in your browser (or use a different browser) to make sure that you aren't getting an old version of your site. Once you have your site back, you may want to run your updates again to make sure they've taken. Related: You may want to check out a WordPress maintenance plugin recently featured here on WPMU.

| Travel Bloggers: Geolocate Your Posts with Geolocate My Posts! Posted: 08 Jun 2012 06:00 AM PDT
So whilst I am not a travel blogger (the fact that I don’t travel the world makes being one somewhat difficult), I do tend to keep a lookout for the kind of cool plugins that can add worthwhile functionality to such sites. Introducing Geolocate My PostsA brand new item on the WordPress.org repository is one such plugin. Geolocate My Posts is rather self-explanatory – it will figure out the location at which you are publishing a post, then add a Google map and address to the bottom of your post. Just like this:  That's right folks - if you want to stalk me, I've narrowed it down to 30 houses for you. The plugin is lacking in any customization options – what you see is what you get. Presumably this is because it is brand new. So for starters, I would like to see the ability to change the dimensions of the map (you can do this, but manually) along with various other customization options relating to what the plugin displays and how. Having said that, it is a useful plugin in its current form, which is why I am featuring it today. I really like the idea of posting from various locations around the world, and having your readers actually see those different locations on a map. Download Geolocate My Posts here.

| Daily Tip: Add Resume Pages to BuddyPress Profiles Posted: 07 Jun 2012 08:39 PM PDT If you’re running a BuddyPress social network that has anything to do with human resources or professional networking, you’ll want to check out the new BP Resume Page plugin. It gives you members the ability to add online resumes within their BuddyPress profiles, including “Education”, “Professional Experience”, and “Skills”. Here’s what other members see when they visit a user’s resume page: Resume fields can be filled out by visiting the “Add” tab: The plugin also adds a new nav menu item under Avatar and in the admin bar. If you’re creating a professional services networking site, the resume plugin might be a good one to combine with the BuddyPress Portfolio plugin. Download BP Resume Page for free from the WordPress plugin repository. Related posts:

Travel blogging has been all the rage for many years, and shows no sign of slowing down. Let’s face it – there is something pretty awesome about traveling the world and logging (or blogging) it all for posterity.
