Finally Transferred My Blog To a New Host!
Whew, for almost two weeks, I’ve been trying to transfer my blog to a new host. It’s not that I don’t like my old host, it’s just that my old host doesn’t have fsock(); PHP function opened, and it is very important for WordPress and its Plugins to have that enabled.
To those who doesn’t know what fsock(); is, it’s a PHP function that is needed by WordPress to get information on other websites to your blog, like updates and some ads that is needed to be accessed via fsock();. Akismet Plugin for instance, it needs to access the WordPress.com site for your API key to work, and if fsock(); is disabled, those kinds of Plugins won’t work. So without that, WordPress aint fun. 
And with the generosity of my friends at ChatX, especially drosdow, they’ve offered me a hosting for my blog, and I dedicate this post for them. Anyway, my blog is now upgraded to the latest version of WordPress which is 2.5.1, and I really love it. The Dashboard is awesome, colors are great. Very nice. And finally, fsock(); function is there. I can now activate plugins that need outside information in order for it to work, and now, they’re working smoothly.
If you guys want to know “How” I transferred my WordPress Blog to a new host, please do comment. And If I see someone requesting for it, I’ll post it. Thanks for dropping by.
It's really nice having a coffee while reading, I'll appreciate it if you treat me one.Popularity: 10% [?]
