Today i got a mail from paypal saying this :
“As part of our commitment to provide a high level of customer service, we would like to give you a 30-day advance notice on changes to our user agreement for India.
With effect from 1 March 2011, you are required to comply with the requirements set out in the notification of the Reserve Bank of India governing the processing and settlement of export-related receipts facilitated by online payment gateways (“RBI Guidelines”).
In order to comply with the RBI Guidelines, our user agreement in India will be amended for the following services as follows:
Any balance in and all future payments into your PayPal account may not be used to buy goods or services and must be transferred to your bank account in India within 7 days from the receipt of confirmation from the buyer in respect of the goods or services; and
Export-related payments for goods and services into your PayPal account may not exceed US$500 per transaction.
We seek your understanding as we continue to employ our best efforts to comply with the RBI Guidelines in a timely manner.
We regret any inconvenience caused to you and hope the advance notice will enable you to plan your future use of our services accordingly.
Sincerely,
The PayPal Team ”
RBI has shown that they are against hard earned money of Freelancers i guess and they are ready to do anything to make sure that unemployment in India prevails. Instead of monitoring the Foreign bank accounts of our beloved ministers, they first put hold on Payoneer and now some restrictions on the way we handle Paypal….Awesome really awesome start to the new year. Wish they were so active against corruption and black money which is circulating instead of targeting money of self employed, dare to dream people.

I was working on a project for a client and the main motive was to convert php files to wordpress compatible pages. While doing so i found that whenever i posted a form intead of taking action it repeatedly showed me page not found error. After some googling and studying about this problem with tiral and error I found that wordpress has problem with $_POST['name']. So kindly rename the name text field to anything else other than name and you will be good to go………

Use an FTP client and go to wp-content/plugins folder
To view the malicious file you need to enable hidden files...you will see following files
.akismet.bak.php.akismet.old.phpJust delete these hidden files and you are good to go……
Now Database Part:
Goto phpmyadmin and browse the db meant for your current wordpress setup…..goto wp_options table remember prefix may differ depending on the type of installation….so in general it should be something like prefix_options here prefix can be anything mentioned in your wp_config.php file…..
Your goal here is simple—you need to delete database entries that contain malicious code. Fortunately, finding the entries you need to delete is a simple job if you use the phpMyAdmin search function
On the search screen, you’re going to need to search the option_name field for the following rogue database entries:
wp_check_hashclass_generic_supportwidget_generic_supportftp_credentialsfwprss_% — delete all matches except rss_language, rss_use_excerpt, and rss_excerpt_lengthif you find any difficulty removing pharma hack lemme know….i will help you out…..still there is not sure shot way to prevent it….
Hope this helps……

While theming html to wordpress often there are occasions getting particular post or to display recent posts. Often we are tempted to use query_post().
It works cool but it has got big issue. It affects main WordPress loop and hence the main loop goes haphazard. Its always the best option to use WP_Query() instead of query_post(), this function takes only the post which you want and doesnt affect the main loop too.
So thumb-rule is dont use query_post() unless you want to use it on the main wordpress loop otherwise you will be busy sorting out what is getting wrong.

Hello friends there are times when we require the image of the post to appear as title in wordpress. Mostly needed in music, videos or art related site where visitor can click by simply seeing the image rather than going through the posts title and reading it thoroughly. Here is something i found on this site Extract-image..No plugin required nothing just simply copy paste the code and voila an image will appear on the main page…you can also adjust the dimensions in the function….
I am a very big fan of Linux and being a freelancer it helps me too coz development environment in linux is far more better than any of the flavors of windows. I was very excited about fedora 12 linux till i found out that my sony laptop model CS VGN-CS34GH has got issues with Fn+F5 & Fn+F6 keys (meant to increase & decrease the brightness) though Fn+F3 and Fn+F4(meant to increase and decrease volume) worked great. To my surprise in KDE4 brightness adjustment slider was not working at all. The brightness was so high(infact maximum) that i feared that i have to start using glares to work on my laptop if i continue with fedora 12. After some reasearch i found that it has nothing to do with OS its due to kernel. Most latest kernels i guess 2.6.30 onwards have this issue. If pass some parameter to the kernel then ur brightness key will start working on GNOME and screen brightness adjust slider will start working too.
Just follow these instructions
1)open console(terminal) login as root(su).
2)open grub.conf file by vi /etc/grub.conf
3)Go to the line where this is written
kernel /vmlinux-2.6.* ro root=UUID=some number rhgb quiet
4) add nomodeset and vga=0×318 after rhgb quiet so ur line at point 3 will look like this
kernel /vmlinux-2.6.* ro root=UUID=some number rhgb quiet nomodeset vga=0×318
Now reboot the laptop and voila!! u will see that Fn key for brightness started working and brightness slider started working for KDE4.
If you have any questions feel free to write back to me happy to help……

First of all if given chance never opt for godaddy. I havent seen server so slow that its unable to request multiple sql query. I dont have any personal animosity with godaddy guys but their after sales support and server uptime are not upto mark. This site was first hosted on godaddy.com (ofcourse free hosting), for first 5 days the site was not up coz of their support staff not responding to my mails and later they said that i need to call them to setup my site(still wondering why).Godaddy has always been good domain registrat and if u guys are using free hosting provided them and dont have any other choice but to see the godaddy iframe banner at the top here is solution for you.
I mostly prefer firebug in firefox but for IE guys u can right click and view source and note down the id of godaddy iframe which is making ur site look like godaddy sponsored. go to ur main stylesheet file mostly main.css or style.css and write following :
#idname{
display : none;
}
Thats it ursite will be now free of annoying godaddy iframe…
lemme know how u like this post
