WordPress 3.2 update have bought down this sites theme.

This tutorial site was running of the famous Arras theme.  Wp 3.2 update has bought the theme down too.  We all survived through the big 3.0 update. I wonder why this comparatively minor update has bought so many issues.

I will probably wait for arras to release an update than to run around looking for a fix..Until then enjoy 2011 Default theme.

UPDATE : The fix was comparatively easy, hence decide to go for it.

If you were to run Arras 1.5.0.1 on the latest build of WordPress 3.2, you would probably run into this error upon activation:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method Arras_Widget_Tag_Cloud::WP_Widget_Tag_Cloud() in ..../wp-content/themes/arras/library/widgets.php on line 355

To fix this, simply replace line 355 of /library/widgets.php from:

function Arras_Widget_Tag_Cloud() { $this->WP_Widget_Tag_Cloud(); }

to:

function Arras_Widget_Tag_Cloud() { parent::__construct(); }

How to prevent ads from showing up on a particular Page(s)

“I don’t want to show ads on my Contact Page”, “How can I prevent ads from showing up on my About us page”

I have been asked these questions several times since I began working on WordPress Projects.

Wp-Insert has an easy way to accomplish just this.

Suppose I don’t want to show the ad above my page/post content on my Contact Us Page.

I head over to Wp-Insert – Manage Ads (Posts and Sidebars) page and expand the “Ad – Above Post Content” Section.

Now in the “Exclude on Posts/Page” section you can either directly enter the page/post ids of the pages/post you want to prevent the particular ad from showing up or you can click the tiny search button on the right to bring up the Post/Page picker Popup.

(If the pop-up stopped appearing after an upgrade just clear your browser cache and it should reappear. If it still doesn’t appear try deleting and then reinstalling the plugin)

Now you can pick the posts/pages using the buttons or by double clicking the page titles in the left box. Similarly to remove posts/pages from the selection you can use the icons or double click them in the right box.

Click OK. and Save the Entire page.

Preventing ads from showing op on particular pages is a feature that’s missing in many other plugins.

Some plugins which impliment them does not have the provision to control the ads indivigually.

On most occasions we would want the ads embedded inside the post only to be eliminated from a particular page or post and would want to continue showing them on other parts of the site.

Some sites have even used this feature to include page specific tracking codes.

How to insert Ads below your Post Content

Lets insert an adsense ad below the post content on your blog.

First of all pick an ad size suite to your post content area. I have selected an 468 x 60 text or image ad in adsense.

You have to copy the highlighted code to insert into your blog.

Now you have to log in to your wordpress admin section and look towards the end of the big wordpress menu to find the Wp-Insert section.

Click on “Manage Ads (Posts and Sidebars)” and you will be led to the Wp-Insert Manage ads page for In Post Ads and Sidebar Ads.

Now click on Ad – below post content to reveal the edit area.

Paste in the adsense code in the big box that says ad code and click “Click To Activate” button to activate the particular ad.

Then you have to click the Blue button at the bottom of the page which says “Save Changes”. Wait for the page to refresh.

Open your webpage and you will now be able to see the ads below above your post content.
