"Exports your database, does a find and replace on URLs and file paths, then allows you to save it to your computer. WP Migrate DB exports your database as a MySQL data dump (much like phpMyAdmin), does a find and replace on URLs and file paths, then allows you to save it to your computer. It is perfect for developers who need to update their local install with fresh data from the production site, or copy their locally developed site to a staging or production server. It even takes into account serialized data (both arrays and objects) and updates the string length values."

"There's one phrase every internet user will be horribly familiar with. A set of words they'll have encountered hundreds, if not thousands of times, and that always prompts a brief moment of confusion: The page cannot be found. The page you're looking for might've been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. "Did I make a mistake while typing?" you ask. "Is the site down? It was working a few minutes ago!" For web developers however, 404 errors are not simply small nuisances but rather a leading cause of sleepless nights. Brief downtime or linking mistakes can lead to visitors leaving your site altogether, and a multitude of dead pages can cost you in terms of SEO. Luckily there are a large number of WordPress plugins dedicated specifically to solving this problem. However, before we discuss the leading candidates, let's start with a brief word about 404s. 1. 404 Page 2. All 404 Redirect to Homepage 3. 404 to 301 4. Custom 404 Pro 5. 404 Error Logger 6. Redirection"

"Have you ever came across a site that style their posts differently? Some sites have different sticky posts highlighted whereas others have each category post styled with a different color, or some may even have a totally unique outlook altogether. Well, that is exactly what we are going to cover in this article. We will share how you can style different WordPress posts in different ways. So what are we going to use?

I recently wrote an article about how to use WordPress 3.0 multisite/network features. This feature is really cool but out of the box it only supports the multiple sites/blogs to be served on the same domain (networksite1.domain.com or www.domain.com/multisite1/). For some this may be fine but really most like you want to have unique domains for each individual site. In this article I provide a quick guide on how to set up multisite domain mapping in WordPress 3.0. Please note that you should not follow this tutorial if your WordPress 3.0 has not been configured to support multisites!
