MySql logs at tmpfs
Good! I worked effectively a whole day with new version of Ubuntu, PHP 7.0 and MySQL 5.7.
What large surprize it was for me when I discovered next morning that MySQL service can not be started. Moreover it said nothing about the reason except:
JavaScript Error
Override WordPress option
Thanks to the WordPress core developers team it is not only possible but even simple. The only special thing you need to know is the WordPress option name.
In order to change some WordPress option value for the user, user role, date, time, post, etc. use proposed code snippet as the starting point. The code sample below automatically replaces global WordPress administrator email admin_email option value with own email of the current user with “Administrator” role. Just insert this code to your active theme functions.php file in order it starts working:
Google OAuth invalid grant
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Google_Auth_Exception' with message 'Error refreshing the OAuth2 token, message: '{ "error" : "invalid_grant" }'' in /includes/Google/Auth/OAuth2.php:330.
A few days of testing, experiments, “googling” Internet, and miscellaneous shamanic dances with a tambourine around “Google APIs Client Library for PHP” source code and the sample example of its usage did not allow me to make even a little step forward. Trying various variants with service-account.php (recreate service account, replacing private key file, trying other, default service account with client secret loading from JSON file) did not help and I still was on the same place with the same error. That was funny to resolve finally this issue and smile to myself, how the small mistake at very begin may cost a lot of time to fix it.
PayPal customer feedback email
cs_surveys@paypal-customerfeedback.com in this case. I almost decided to delete this message as the tens of others similar sort of scam-fraud-etc. stuff, but after looking on the message text I got a thought that it could be a wrong decision. Let’s see, why I was thinking that way.
All we know (if you don’t, please read the text below and remember) that PayPal always:
– sends its emails from the domain paypal.com;
– sends them directly to your primary email registered at PayPal;
– starts email message from your full name;
– does not ask to input login information in any form;
– does not mask links in the message with URLs different from the URLs shown at the text.
Cleanup WP dashboard
Some of plugins were written with user friendly policy in a mind and has an option at their settings to hide selected widget. What to do with plugin which does not allow blog owner to manage what widget to show at the WordPress back-end dashboard and what does not?
Yes, any user may hide unneeded widget switching of correspondent checkbox inside the “Screen Options” at the top of the page. But suppose, that You, as administrator, wish to make your blog dashboard more user friendly and to help your users to spend their time more effectively. Some times you even do not wish to let user know, that some widget is available at all. Use this recipe to make your dashboard cleaner.
