I want a drink and it’s not even 0700 yet

On this here blog I use a few things to help secure everything down and avoid issues, namely, nginx location blocks disallowing access to resources, fail2ban tracking nginx logs to prevent people hammering server or trying to do improper things, and the “Limit Login Attempts” WP plugin.

A combination of all these broke access with the wordpress mobile app. Ended up having to disable the wordpress fail2ban jail and altering some of the nginx directives.

This is going to be a pain in the ass to debug cos the wordpress app doesn’t have any kind of proper error messaging, urgh.

WordPress 2.7

Logré actualizar sin que Gengo la hiciera de tos. Aquí esta lo que hice:

  1. Respalde archivos y base de datos.
  2. Desactive todos los plugins excepto Gengo.
  3. Actualice.
  4. Re-configure Gengo y aplique los cambios.
  5. Limpie el cache del navegador.
  6. Mire el sitio. Funcionó.

Si no funciona, trata moviendole a las opciones de Lenguage, pero recuerda de limpiar el cache del navegador cada vez que lo hagas. Gengo le da una galleta al navegador para que recuerde las cosas.

WordPress 2.7 en sí se mira bastante mono. La interfaz para escribir entradas es mucho mejor, razón suficiente para hacer el brinco.

WordPress 2.7

Managed to upgrade without having Gengo bitch out. Here’s what I did:

  1. Backed up both DB and files.
  2. Deactivated all plugins except Gengo
  3. Upgraded
  4. Re-configured Gengo settings and applied changes.
  5. Cleared browser cache.
  6. Viewed site. It worked.

If it doesn’t work, try playing around with the Language settings but remember to clear your browser cache every time you do this. Gengo gives a cookie to your browser to make it remember stuff.

WordPress 2.7 itself is pretty good. The writing interface is much better, reason alone to make the jump.

Estimado Gengo

Por favor apresúrate en madurar, por que haz demostrado lo que una plataforma bloguera multi-lenguaje es capaz de hacer cuando se implementa apropiadamente. No puedo comenzar a imaginar lo que mi vida en WordPress seria sin haber perdido incontables horas en restaurar bases de datos jodidas cuando no te gusta el nuevo plugin en el directorio de plugins y haces berrinche tenerte alrededor para dejarme bloguear en dos idiomas sin muchos inconvenientes.

Atentamente,

Dear Gengo

Please hurry up in maturing, for you have shown what a truly multilingual blogging platform is able to do when implemented properly. I cannot begin to imagine what my WordPress life would be without having sunk countless hours in restoring fucked up databases when you don’t like the new plugin in the plugins directory and throw a tantrum having you around to let me blog in two languages without too much hassle.

Regards,
nullrend
