How to fix categories and tags links in WordPress 3.2.1 sub-directory multi-site

a-fung | September 2, 2011 in WordPress | Comments (3)

I set up WordPress 3.2.1 sub-directory multi-site a few days ago.
I found out that all categories and tags links are not working in sites under sub-directory.

I spent a lot of time searching on the Internet but couldn’t find any useful information.
I also tried re-installing WordPress couples of times and didn’t resolve the problem.

Finally I found a simple way to fix it.
In all your site under subdirectory, go to Dashbard => Settings => Permalinks

Enter custom values in Category base and Tag base like the above image.
Click Save Changes and you are done!

Recently I made my MacBook Air (late 2010) to triple boot 3 OSes.

The following is the instruction on how to make it happen.

 

Things you need:

  • MacBook Air (of course!)
  • Two USB external hard drives
  • A 4GB USB disk + another 1GB USB disk
  • Mac OS X reinstall USB disk
  • Windows 7 install disk or ISO
  • VMWare fusion (trial version is OK too, other Mac VM software might work too)

 

Step 0 – Backup
  • Very important! Back up your computer first! You will need to wipe your local drive in your MacBook Air!
  • Download boot camp help program and store that in a USB disk (small one will work)

 

Step 1 – Install Chrome OS on local drive
  • Follow the instruction here to install Chrome OS on your MacBook Air

 

Step 2 – Install Mac OS X on external hard drive
  • plug in your Mac OS X reinstall USB disk and a USB external hard drive to your MacBook Air
  • Restart your MacBook Air and hold the option key when it starts
  • Choose to boot the Mac OSX reinstall USB disk
  • Use Disk Utility to re-partition your USB external hard drive and use GUID partition map
  • Select the USB external drive to install Mac OS X (more…)

Fully migrated to WordPress

Just spent a day setting up WordPress and importing posts.

After importing I need to fix the links and image sources.

And the multisite had some problem, I used Google search and found no solution and I need a setting that is not mentioned anywhere.


Triple Boot Chrome OS, Windows 7, Mac OS X on MacBook Air

Why do I need this crazy multi-boot?

Most of the time I use this MacBook Air to browse websites only. So I want a fast-booting OS for this – Chrome OS.
Sometimes I play Windows game with my friends and I need to run iTunes to sync Apps and Music to my iPhone and iPad (iTunes sucks on Windows).

So I decided to make this triple boot on my machine.

I will post some instruction later. :-)


Tutorial: How to use your US credit card to do in-app purchase in Japanese-iTunes-store-only app

Some Japanese apps like Taiko no Tatsujin Plus and jubeat plus are free to download once you create a Japanese iTunes account. However there are only a few songs bundled in the free apps. You need to purchase more songs inside the app.

The problem is you do not have any credit card of which the billing address is in Japan, it is too troublesome to get Japan iTunes store gift card and you cannot use another US iTunes account to do in-app purchase in app you downloaded with the Japan iTunes account.

 

I just found a way to work around these. The following is all you need:

  1. An email address which is not associated with any iTunes store account
  2. A valid credit card.

 

Here are the steps:

  • Open iTunes on your computer
  • Go to iTunes store
  • Sign out from your current iTunes account if you have signed in
  • Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the flag to change the country of the iTunes store
  • Find “日本” (Japan, it’s at the end of the page) and click it, it will bring you to the Japanese iTunes store
  • Go to App Store, find any free app and try to download that. It will ask you to sign in or create a new account.
  • Click “create new account”. Create the account as usual (email, password, security question and date of birth). Next you’ll need to enter payment information. You can select “none” because you got here by trying to download a free app. In billing address, you need to enter an address in Japan. It is easy to find one on the internet.
  • After that you need to go to your mailbox to verify your email address.
  • Once your email is verified, you can go back to iTunes.  Select “Store” and then “Authorize This Computer” with your newly created iTunes account. Download jubeat plus or Taiko no Tatsujin Plus and sync the App to your iOS device.
  • And then change your account region by Selecting “Store” => “View My Account” and then select “Change Country or Region”. Select your current country or region. You will need to enter your payment information.
  • Go to your iOS device and go to settings => store. Login with your new account.
  • Go to the store of jubeat plus or Taiko no Tatsujin Plus. Try purchasing download content. It will tell you to verify your payment information. After that you will be able to do the in-app purchase.

 

Downside of this workaround is that you will not be able to change back the region to Japan to download any other apps only available in Japan because it will require payment information to do so.

I made some templates for making custom plates for dj dao’s real edition single IIDX controller.



You can download the jpg template from my photo gallery (sorry removed) and photoshop template from here.

 

For my own controller, I made some design based on the template and print them out on photo paper.

Then replace the plate with my printed photo paper.

You can see the final product in this blog post.
