Kemarin sore seorang teman blogger meminta saya membaca sebuah artikel tentang plugins wordpress yang membuat website menjadi rentan. Jadi di sini saya mencoba membagikan apa yang tertulis pada artikel tersebut, karena cukup banyak pengguna wordpress di Indonesia setelah blogger suka menghapus penggunanya yang melanggar syarat layanan.


Diberitakan bahwa sebuah perusahaan keamanan internet

Cara membuat website sendiri dengan menggunakan wordpress sebenarnya sangat sederhana. Jadi saya akan mencoba menjelaskannya di sini. Yang perlu diketahui ialah, bahwa pada awalnya wordpress dikenal sebagai sebuah platform blog saja, tapi hari ini wordpress sudah menjadi brand CMS atau Content Management System yang sangat terkemuka.


Apa itu CMS?

Content Management System adalah program

Today I want to update my wordpress blog from Wordpress 3.0.5 to wordpress 3.1. I did this automatic from dashboard as I usually update plugin or wordpress version. Unfortunatelly, something unusual happen, my blog can't be accesed again, and I didn't backup my blog before update Wordpress. This a big mistake for me.

My blog only show

"fatal error: Call to a member function suppress_errors() on a non-object in .../ wp-content/plugins/wp-hive/includes/class.wphive.php on line 69"

I search on google and find no solutions about this. Almost every wordpress user who face problem like me said that the problem is on WP Hive. The conclusion WP-Hive is incotimple with Wordpress 3.1

In fact WP Hive status now is for sale. It means the author will not update WP Hive anymore. We can't wait until there is new owner of WP Hive

So the solution is deactive WP Hive and use multisite feature in Wordpress 3.1 to replace WP Hive. Another solutions is do not update your wordpress to Wordpress 3.1

But what should I do if I've update to Wordpress 3.1 and I didn't create backup? In my experience the solutions is very easy. You must downgrade your Wordpress 3.1 version. Fortunatelly the database has not been updated when you did automatic update into Wordpress 3.1.

Please note: Altought this trick work for me but I can't guarantee if there is no error when you do this. Be wise to backup your wordpress files and database. Otherwise you can try first on localhost

1. Download previuos Wordpress installation


2. Upload into your server to replace Wordpress 3.1


3. Run your site again, it should be fixed.

Now your site, include my blog is running again.

Wordpress API usually is used with Akismet modules to prevent spam. You will get wordpress API when you've registered with wordpress.com hosting. The wordpress API key will be sent into your gmail.

But what if my email that contain wordpress API has been deleted? Should I need to register with wordpress.com hosting again?

You don't need to do that if you still can login the wordpress hosting. After login go to your blog then your profile or you can go to

http://[yourname].wordpress.com/wp-admin/profile.php

Change [yourname] with your blog name. On that page, under Profile you will see
Your WordPress.com API key is: ....... Don't share your API key, it's like a password.

That's your wordpres.com API

If you can't login and your email that contain wordpress API has been deleted so the solution is register again with wordpress.com hosting and write down your wordpress API on a paper.

If you are using wordpress engine as your blog (not hosted blog on wordpress) maybe you need to upgrade the engine with the newest version of wordpress. To do that is very simple. But it's necessary to backup you database and script first before update. If you have trouble with update you still have old database and script version that running well.


Below step by step to update wordpress engine:
1. Backup your database and folder that contain your wordpress engine. You can use backup facility if your hosting control panel offer it.
2. Download the newest version of wordpress from wordpress site
3. Upload the content of the newest wordpress folder that you have been download.
4. Run www.yourblog.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php You must change www.yourblog.com with you blog url.
5. You will see Upgrade Wordpress Requied like this picture. Click on Upgrade Wordpress to continue. Please wait until the proccess finish



6. If success you will see that Your WordPress database has been successfully upgraded! Click Continue to continue



7. You will bring to admin page. You have to login if you are not logged before.
8. If your template offer you can see your wordpress version on footer or sidebar.
