Easiest way to reset your password

If you can’t login, but you can access your site via FTP, then edit the theme’s functions.php file and add this code to it, right at the top after the first wp_set_password('MyNewPassword',1);

Put in your own new password for the main admin user. The “1″ is the user ID number in the wp_users table.

Then just log in using the new password, just make sure you remove the line from the function file when your done.

The easiest way to upgrade your WordPress blog

I’ve been working with WordPress for what seems like forever, so I sometimes forget that it can be tricky for some. So here is my:

How to upgrade WordPress

First download the new files from WordPress.org, unzip the files to your desktop.

Next backup your database.

Next log into your FTP to your WordPress root directory, create 2 new directory called ‘upgrade’ and ‘backup’

Next upload all the new files into the upgrade directory. leave out the wp-content directory.

Now drag all your files in your main directory to your backup directory. but be sure not to move these files: wp-content, .htaccess, and any other files not related to WordPress

Next go back to your upgrade directory and drag all the files to your main WordPress directory.

When that is all done log into your Dashboard and WordPress will walk you through any database updates you might need to do.

We’re almost done, the next step it to upgrade your plug-ins, WordPress can do this for you. just go to the Plug-ins page in your dashboard and do the upgrades one at a time.

You might want to note the name of the plug-ins before you upgrade them just in case they fail.

Last step; go to your blog’s front page and make sure everything is working. Check your archives, categories and single post. Also make sure your Next and Previous links work and that your comments are showing up.

After you have done this a few times it will become very easy and you be able to do it in just a few moments.
