New Look And New Database For WPM

Posted by Jeff

on January 30, 2009

After a few months of procrastination WordPress Max has finally got the theme update. Although I am not all that pleased with the new theme yet I will continue to tweak it. The other major change is a what you can’t see and that is the new database running the WordPress site.

After a few years of WordPress updates and trying just about every plugin that I thought looked cool the site was running very slow. Well at least the WordPress dashboard was running slow and not all options worked correctly withing the dashboard. So I started to research how to optimize and clean up the database. When that hit a dead end I decided to take a little more drastic action and use a fresh installation and move the WordPress site to that.

So now everything is running much better, at least in the dashboard. I will try to do a post this weekend, before the big game, and explain how to get your old WordPress blog a new database and not loose anything in the process.

Thanks Kyle, I had Gravatars in the comments section but I had a hard time styling them to wrap around the left side of the comment text and didn’t like the look. Maybe you can do a post on that? I got tired of trying…

Drive-By comments will be deleted! Like "Thanks for sharing", "Nice post", or any other text that doesn't contribute to the discussion. If you ask a very specific question about your particular WordPress theme, it will probably be deleted. I can fix your WordPress site but for a price. If you ask a question like "Why don't my blog work right", it will be deleted. If you ask a question about your WordPress site without a leaving a link to it, it will be deleted. The point is to ask questions and or comment on the the actual content of the post, and to please use some common sense. All comments are moderated and will appear when approved. Thank you.
