This error “Cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()……” happens when you are using php4, WP-PostRatings Plugin version 1.31 and less, and you are using “UTF-8″ for your “Content-Type” Meta Tag in your WordPress Blog. It happens to one of my gaming site, GamesFreez.com and I have corrected it using the following solution:

1. Open WP-PostRatings.php
2. Find

$text = html_entity_decode($text, ENT_QUOTES, get_option(’blog_charset’));

3. Replace with

if(( version_compare( phpversion(), ‘5.0′ ) < 0 ) && (strtolower(get_option(’blog_charset’)) == ‘utf-8′)) {
$trans_tbl = get_html_translation_table (HTML_ENTITIES);
$trans_tbl = array_flip ($trans_tbl);
$text = strtr ($source, $trans_tbl);
$text = utf8_encode($text);
}else{
// url decode (phpversion =< 5.0 or get_option(’blog_charset’)!= utf-8 )
$text = @html_entity_decode($text, ENT_QUOTES, get_option(’blog_charset’));
}

I have also posted at Lester Chan’s Forum, so hopefully I do not have to face the same problem again when he released the new version of WP-PostRatings Plugin

Update: WP-PostRatings 1.31 Plugin confirmed has the above problem. Try the above solution.

Yes, SiteMap For WordPress MU is possible.

Finally, I have managed to get Google XML Sitemaps (currently 3.1.0.1. by Arne Brachhold) to work for WordPress MU.

You can check out my WordPress MU site at NewsFreez.com. All the sitemaps are in the form of domain.com/sitemap.xml and sub.domain.com/sitemap.xml

WordPress MU

The SiteMaps have also been tested and can be viewed by major browsers like Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera and Safari.

Google Webmaster Tools has also accepted my SiteMap and there are no errors.

There are a few changes that are required before it can work. I will document it step by step before I do another blog post on it.

Meantime, please update your Google XML Sitemaps (3.1.0.1.) and WordPress MU (1.5.1) to the latest version and also subscribe to my RSS Feed. Thanks.

Richard Palace Dot Com Goes MobileAfter spending more than 6 hours surfing from morning to afteroon, I feel quite excited about getting Richard Palace Dot Com Mobile Friendly.

I went from searching for a Mobile Browser for my Cell Phone LG KS20 as the Microsoft Internet Mobile Browser, that comes with the Window Mobile 6, does not perform up to my expectation. I think it is rather slow.

Richard Palace Dot Com originally installed WordPress Mobile Plugin 2.1 from Alex King since my post on WordPress 2.51 installed on 27th April 2008. However after some testing and searching, I found another WordPress Mobile Plugin, by Andy Moore, more attractive. Here are some nice features:
* Easy to install, one file. WURFL not required
* Automatic mobile phone & PDA detection
* Post & upload from your mobile
* Supports display and posting of comments
* Supports AdMob mobile advertising
* SEO friendly titles and H1 tags
* Highly configurable & easy to customise
* Adheres to W3C & mTLD dotMobi standards
* Released by dotMobi Certified Developer

I will be using this WordPress Mobile Plugin till there is a better one out there. As this WordPress Mobile Plugin automatically detect the browser, the mobile site share the same address as the classic one and you will notice the differences only if you used Mobile Browser.

If you have any problem accessing my site using Mobile Browser from your pda, iphone, smartphone, mobile phone, cell phone or your classic browser like Opera, FireFox, Safari, MSIE, kindly let me know so I can rectify the problem as soon as possible.

LightBreakerWell, If you follow my post or read my previous blog post about WordPress 2.51 Installed, you will know that I just changed my theme on the 27th Apr. I was deciding on which themes to use. The Feed Count Image on this theme, LightBreaker, is a default image that comes with the theme itself.

However, before I could change it, Buny from FullMetal Alchemist posted This Guy Fakes His Feed Count, Super Lame. Anyway, I do not blame him, but thanks for his reminder.

I have just installed the correct Feed Count right from FeedBurner.

If you upgraded WordPress to 2.5 and above, you will most likely encounter the Fatal Error problem when trying to activate the Popularity Contest Plugin by Alexa King even if you downloaded the latest version (currently 1.3b3).

Here is the fix for the fatal error:

1. Open popularity-contest.php
2. Scroll down to line 59.
3. Find require(’../../wp-blog-header.php’);
4. Replace with require(’../wp-blog-header.php’);

If you activated it and it displayed the wp_ak_popularity does not exists error, go to your MyPHPAdmin in your control panel for your server, run the following SQL queries:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `wp_ak_popularity` (
`post_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`total` int(11) NOT NULL,
`feed_views` int(11) NOT NULL,
`home_views` int(11) NOT NULL,
`archive_views` int(11) NOT NULL,
`category_views` int(11) NOT NULL,
`single_views` int(11) NOT NULL,
`comments` int(11) NOT NULL,
`pingbacks` int(11) NOT NULL,
`trackbacks` int(11) NOT NULL,
`last_modified` datetime,
KEY `post_id` (`post_id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `wp_ak_popularity_options` (
`option_name` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`option_value` varchar(50) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM;

Verify the 2 tables exist and try to activate the plugin again. It should work now.

Richard Palace Dot Com is now updated with WordPress 2.51

Not much of a problem except the Popularity Contest Plugin (currently 1.3b3) by Alex King which is quite challenging. I will talk about it in my next post.

Decided to try out the 2 new templates (StudioPress, LightBreaker) and also installed WordPress Mobile Plugin which is mainly used by mobile user.

WordPressOh no, not again! Well, better upgrade soon or get risk of losing your blog. Thanks WordPress. Keep the upgrade coming. :)

Version 2.5.1 of WordPress is now available. It includes a number of bug fixes, performance enhancements, and one very important security fix. We recommend everyone update immediately, particularly if your blog has open registration. The vulnerability is not public but it will be shortly.

In addition to the security fix, 2.5.1 contains many bug fixes. If you are interested only in the security fixes, you can download these corrected copies of wp-includes/pluggable.php, wp-admin/includes/media.php, and wp-admin/media.php. Replace your existing copies of these files with these new copies.

If you download the entire 2.5.1 release, you will be getting over 70 other fixes. 2.5.1 focuses on fixing the most annoying bugs and improving performance. Here are some highlights:

  • Performance improvements for the Dashboard, Write Post, and Edit Comments pages.
  • Better performance for those who have many categories
  • Media Uploader fixes
  • An upgrade to TinyMCE 3.0.7
  • Widget Administration fixes
  • Various usability improvements
  • Layout fixes for IE
