When we are using CSS @font-face for WordPress, we usually don’t get the desired result that we may be expecting while we are using Mozilla Firefox.
Firefox 3.5 supported TrueType and OpenType fonts. In Firefox 3.6 support for a new font format – the Web Open Font Format, or WOFF is been added. You can use this font format to work for WordPress if you are using Firefox.
You can convert you fonts to woff format from http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator
After you get your font coverted use the following code to import your fonts for all browsers.
@font-face {
font-family: GentiumTest;
src: url(fonts/GenR102.woff) format("woff"),
url(fonts/GenR102.ttf) format("truetype"),
url(fonts/GenR102.eot) format("embedded opentype");
}
A common problem with wordpress blogs or sites is that while validating the site we get validation error for the search form used in the site.
The error is for <form role=”search” method=”get” id=”searchform” action=”http://xadd..>..</form> where the validator does not validates role=”search”.
The step by step method to fix this issue is mentioned below:
- Login to your site through any ftp client where the wordpress site is installed.
- Search for the general-template.php file. It will be in the folder wp-includes.
- Open the file and search for the code $form = ‘<form role=”search” method=”get” id=”searchform” action=”‘ . home_url( ‘/’ ) . ‘” >
- Remove role=”search”, save the file and upload the file.
The search box will still work fine without any error. The positive thing is that you will not get any validation error due to your search form.
If your Blog is made on WordPress platform and you want to change the location/ URL of the Blog, which may be due to reasons like: your have built the site on your system locally using the localhost in your URL; or your blog is already hosted with different domain name and now you want to host it with some other domain name, this article may be of some use to you fellows. Just follow the few simple steps mentioned below.
- First of all logon to your Blog’s database through PhpMyAdmin control.
- Then select your Blog’s database. You will find 15-16 tables under it using the prefix “wp_”.
- Now you need to pass some queries for some of the tables; to be precise you need to pass some queries for three tables which are mentioned below:
First update wp_options table:
To update WordPress options with the new blog location, first select the wp_options table on the left panel. Then select “SQL” on the right panel and pass the below mentioned query in the textbox for the query and click go to pass the query.
UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace(option_value, 'http://www.old-domain.com', 'http://www.new-domain.com') WHERE option_name = 'home' OR option_name = 'siteurl';
your old domain will be http://localhost/your_blog if you have built the site locally on your system.
Second update wp_posts table: This will fix URLs of the WordPress posts and pages, which translated from post slug, and stored in database wp_posts table as guid field. The URL values in this field are stored as absolute URLs, so we need to change them with the following SQL query:
UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace(guid, 'http://www.old-domain.com','http://www.new-domain.com');
Lastly update wp_posts table: This will fix the URL links which you have used to link posts or pages internally within the posts you have published, which we will change using the following SQL query:
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, 'http://www.old-domain.com', 'http://www.new-domain.com');
Now re-login to your wp-administration to update the cookies and also check your blog and post if they are working properly.

If you are the administrator for a blog or a site developed using WordPress and you have by any chance forgot or misplaced the password required for login, this post is definitely going to help you.
There are two ways you can change or reset the password for your login id. Both are described steps by step below.
The first process is as below:
- On the login page you will get a link for forgot password. Click the link.
- This will lead you to a page where you can feed in your registered email address. After feeding in your email address, click Get New Password.
This will send you a link to your mail box where you can change your password and thereafter log on to your account.
But sometimes this doesn’t help and there is a possibility that you have to follow the second way; but this one you can follow only if you are the owner/administrator/webmaster of your site, because for this you will need to have the access to your database to which you site or blog is linked to.
Just follow the below steps and you will be able to log on to you account within minutes.

Say for a domain name “Mydomain.com” you have assigned a folder named “Myfolder” where the domain is hosted, you need to upload the application in “Myfolder”.If you are want to setup blog as a different link on your site, just create a new folder and upload the application there, else just upload the contents of the application in the root folder, i.e. “MyFolder” for the domain “Mydomain.com”
- Then you need to create a database in your hosting account with godaddy. If you have already created a database, skip to step number 7.
- Login to your godaddy account and click over “Hosting” on the left control panel of “My Account” section.

Save the file and upload it from where you downloaded it. It will ask to replace the file… replace it. - Then go to your site using any browser, i.e. if your site name is Mydomain.com visit it. you will land on the WordPress Setup page where you will require to give the name of your Blog and then you will receive your user name and password to login into your blog’s control panel.If you have uploaded the application in a new folder in the root folder of your domain, you need to visit “http://Mydomain.com/folder/”
