This issue is caused by the iTunes installer, which places the file in the wrong location…

Copy the file:

SQLite3.dll

from

C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support

C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support folder.

Link your WordPress header to your homepage

Most websites have their logo and/or header clickable to link to the home page. This is not a default option when creating templates in Artiseer 3.1. There is a simple way of achieving this.

In the WordPress Dashboard.

Make sure that the header.php file is writable
Click Appearance >Editor on the left side panel. This opens the WordPress editor and allows you to edit template files easily.
On the right hand side panel, click on the header.php file to enable it
Look for
and replace the code as follows:

Additional Information

If the above method does not work, you can try the following:
FTP to the wp-content/themes/yourthemename folder
Make sure that the header.php file is writable
Open the header.php file in a text editor like Notepad⁺⁺
Look for
and replace the code as follows:

Save the header.php file and FTP it to wp-content/themes/yourthemename folder, overwriting the old header.php file

Take Note:

If you change your template, you will have to apply the above code to the header.php again

Changing WordPress Permalinks

Permalink: Short for permanent link, a permalink is a direct link to a single entry on content on a blog. As a blog is updated with a new post, that specific post will get its own page with a URL that can be used rather than linking to the main URL of the blog. On many blogs the text “permalink” will appear below a blog post as a hyperlink that takes users to the post as its own page.

By default WordPress uses web URLs which have question marks and lots of numbers in them, however WordPress offers you the ability to create a custom URL structure for your permalinks and archives. This can improve the aesthetics, usability, and forward-compatibility of your links.

I prefer to use the file name as the permalink, e.g. Permalink: http://futureskills.net/changing-wordpress-permalinks

To achieve this you have to do two things:

You have to change the permalink settings in WordPress
You have to add some information to the .htacess file.

Change Permalink settings in WordPress

In the WordPress Dashboard:

Click on Settings, Choose Permalinks
Select the radio button next to Post. This converts the permalink to the title of your post.

Using the post name as the permalink

Adding Re-Write rules to .htaccess file

Open the .htaccess file in the root directory of your site and add, the following code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

What is .htaccess?

What if your site is hosted on IIS7?

Just open the IIS Manager > Click on the site > Then click on URL Rewrite > Import rules

You can import the rules you have from the .HTACCESS to your IIS

Windows 7 Menu Bar

Keep Windows 7 Menu Bar visible

The first annoyance in Windows 7 was the ‘missing’ menu bar. You can hit the ALT key on your keyboard to allow the menu bar to appear or if like me, you always want it visible, follow on.

In Windows Explorer on the top left corner:

1. Click the Organize button, choose Layout

2. Check Menu Bar
