Una nueva actualizacion para wordpress , en esta ocacion la 3.0.3 esta disponible para la descarga, tan solo hace 3 semanas teniamos la actualizacion 3.0.2 , igual por cuestioes de seguridad, parece que esta version 3.0 viene con muchos fallos.

Ésta es una actualización de seguridad que corrige ciertos fallos en la interfaz de publicación remota. Este fallo afectaba sólo a sitios que tenían habilitada la publicación remota, que por default se instala como inactiva, cosa que te mandaba un error 404.

Ya esta disponible la actualizacion desde sus paneles de su wordpress.

Actualizado: Una vez que procedi a la actualizacion me mostro un error de mantenimiento, para solucionar esto, solo vete a tu sitio via ftp y en el root elimina el siguiente archivo:

.maintenance

Y listo, si acaso no puede ver los archivos que comienzan con ".", vete al ftp de tu panel del hosting.

Posiblmente te hayas dado cuenta que algunos de tus directorios en wordpress tengan un index.php de solo 30 KB y si eres curioso seguro lo abriste y encontraste una frase "Silence is golden", y lo primero que te vino a la mente fue " Mi sitio fue hackeado !! "..pero no…no es asi.

Colocar un index.php con cualquier contenido en carpetas que no tiene un uso particular es algo comun entre los buenos desarroladores web, esto evita que gente maliciosa pueda ver el contenido de dicha carpeta, claro que esto se puede hacer modificando el .htaccess tambien, pero es algo muy particular que seguro no sabias .

Que tal he?

Saludos

Algunos nos ha pasado que al ingresar el area de administracion de wordpress ( wp-admin ) nos da un error 404 apesar de ingresar con los datos correctos, esto es mas comun de lo que se imaginan, despues de una busqueda por la red y no encontrar mucha ayuda, por fin di con la solucion.

Ingresa via ftp y cambia TODAS LAS CARPETAS a 755 yo uso filezilla y me sirve bastante bien!

Saludos.

Otra lista más de 12 temas con excelente diseño para wordpress, todos gratis!!!, estos temas los considero más para blogs  personales o algo asi, chequen, se los dejo con la descripcion en ingles:

Infinity

Infinity makes you think you are looking at ultimate creativity in WordPress theme design. This three column theme has been put together beautifully with thumbnails, header and footer graphics, and a picture scroll. The color play is impressive. A great theme for designers and photo bloggers.

Red Passion

Red Passion has exquisite red floral graphics in the header area and one more in the background, and the combination of the two makes this theme a treat for sore eyes. The search box is located just below the blog title and description. There is also an RSS icon in the header area next to the search box.

F8

F8 is a magazine-like theme for photo bloggers who wish to also have their pictures do the talking. The clean white background gels with the black lines and the picture grid that run across the homepage. The theme can double as a portfolio site for designers and multimedia professionals. Note: F8 is not a free theme.

WP Coda

WP Coda is one of the most professional-looking themes in this collection. The color combination is fantastic. One thing that differentiates the theme from the rest is the sliding posts. The author says he had made this theme by modifying lots of existing code and using them with his design. The theme mimics the functionality of the popular coda website. Worth a look.

TV.Elements

TV. Elements is a neat WordPress theme for video bloggers. There is a main video display and series of video scrolls on the right hand side. On the left side, there are ShareThis, subscribe, and comment links. Below the video window, you can add your post. The dark background gives it a necessary mystic look. Like F8, TV.ELements is not a free theme.

Wood World

Wood World is a neatly designed theme. I like how every post has been separated from each other. Each and every part of the theme, including a scrapedRSS icon and a search box with a wooden-look background, has been given detailed attention.

Notepad Chaos

Notepad Chaos is a vibrant, colorful, and floral theme with one of the most intricate designs. The sidebar elements have been done up with different post-it note designs, while the main posts are nestled in a white notepad design. The theme also has a handwritten search box, navigational links in the header, and sidebar headlines.

Agregado

Agregado is a another radical take on how a WordPress theme can be constructed. This theme suits your normal blogging requirements, as well as your lifestreaming requirements, served in a sidebar capsule. It has the snippet of the latest post shown on the home page, along with just the headlines of the older posts. The subcategories, pages, archives, search, etc. are tucked away so that the reader focuses on the latest content.

Intrablog

Intrablog is a theme with a very clean and fresh look. This is a result of the white and silver colors in the post and sidebar areas. It’s another unique take on WordPress theme design and suitable for personal blogs.

Hot Orange

Hot Orange has a red header with a neat floral design, a post area with a black background, and a silver color area that bridges the header and post area. Another good color combination and unique design.

Rainbow Feather

Rainbow Feather has shades of sky blue, yellow, blue, and pink colors joined together in horizontal blocks to form the header navigation area, main header, post area, and footer. This is one of the most striking themes that we have come across.

Motion

Motion is for those who are daring and can opt for a one column theme. There are three blocks of content that expand on a single click and contract when another is opened. There is a link to the older entries below these content blocks. The color combination of orange, silver, and black is attractive.

Encontre en la red un compendio de 20 templates o temas para wordpress completamente gratis, hay algunos muy bien realizados que con un poco de diseño del blogger podra dejarlo muy bien, aca abajo la lista ( noten el copy&paste )

2-Column WordPress 2.7 Themes

AdsPress – A Google AdSense friendly theme in a clean, fixed width design that has two banner placements and a text area for the ads.  Has two columns and is widgetized and gravatar ready.

Artificial Intelligence – Fixed width, gravatar and widget ready, this theme changes it up a bit by putting the widget column on the left side of the content column with a header area for informational text.

Connections Reloaded – One of the best known WordPress themes out there as it has been around forever, Connections has been “reloaded” to work with 2.7, but is compatible with every version of the blogging platform since 1.5.

Deep Red – A very narrow fixed width theme, but has a really large emphasis on the categories by allowing them to take up a huge amount of the right column.

Google Chrome – Google Chrome has certainly become a popular web browser, and now you can carry that look and feel over to your blog with this Chrome inspired 2-column theme.  A nice clean design, but probably not a good idea to load it up with a lot of flashy widgets in the sidebar.

Internet Sharing – While a fairly standard 2-column theme on its main page, the individual post pages is where it’s a bit different with a nicely contained and highlighted area for information about the post, social links and other information.

NewBlue – A fixed width theme with a clear, open design and a very unobtrusive blue motif.  Has full Feedburner integration and really clear typography.

Premium News – A 2-column theme with a featured article panel at the top, two locations for 125X125 ads, slide out area for categories and archives. A fairly involved theme available for free.

Retrospective – A very open 2-column theme that has no visible boundaries between columns giving you the illusion of complete openness.

Typebased – A free 2-column theme with large, readable areas, four 125X125 ad spots, Flickr photo stream integration and other various goodies.

3-Column WordPress 2.7 Themes

AquaBlue – A 3-column with a bit of 2-column feel by the placement of four 125X125 ads in the top right corner, above the 2 sidebar columns.

Blog Oh Blog – While there has been a lot of debate if 3-columns is still a good idea, this one still has a feeling of some openness without overwhelming you.  Widget-ready and includes a PSD file for changing the header.

Blue Grace – A nice wide-open content column is complimented by the two side columns that, while holding a lot of information, don’t overwhelm you.  Colors can be customized by playing around with a PSD file, and it is released under the GPL license.

ClearPress – ClearPress may be the most unconventional 3-column I’ve ever seen.  Not only is it bright, but the posts are divided over all three columns with widgets such as categories and recent posts being in a dropdown pullout that fully retracts into the header when not in use.

Fashionista – A fluid width 3-column which is unusual in this day and age of so many fixed width themes popping up around the web.

GenkiTheme – A 3-column theme that has a mix of fluid width for the content column, but both widgetized columns are fixed width.  On the far left you have a sliding tab menu that is static when Javascript is turned off.

Limau Orange – When you think “orange,” you don’t always think of the most pleasing of web themes, but this one keeps it as a nice accent that never gets on your nerves.  The two sidebars sandwich the content column on both sides, but it is still very readable.

Royale – Black themes aren’t always easy to carry out, but the Royale theme does it while still being very readable.  The content column is fluid width while the sidebars are fixed, and highlight colors are easily changed. Overall, a lot of customizable features.

Miscellaneous WordPress 2.7 Layouts

Mandigo – Available in seven colors, 38 languages, customizable as 1-column, 2-columns and 3-columns, optional layouts of 800 wide or 1024 wide and several other options.

Wicked Lemon – While Wicked Lemon appears like your standard 2-column theme, which it is, it allows the reader to switch the color of the background using the colored boxes in the top right corner without any page reloading.

Ahora que ya tengo la nueva version , te digo como actualizar a la nueva version , tienes 3 opciones :

Primera opción: MANUAL

Desactiva todos los plugins .- Via FTP borra todos los archivos MAS NO BORRES EL WP-CONFIG.PHP este contiene la informacion de la base de datos, TAMPOCO EL directorio WP CONTENT.éste dejalo intacto.

Descarga la version 2.7 de wordpres (si quieres en español de una buena vez ) y desenpaqueta todo en tu PC , para luego subirlo a tu servidor MAS NO SUBIRAS EL WP CONTENT ni el CONFIG.

Una vez que esten arriba todos los nuevos archivos tienes que atualizar la base de datos , esto lo haces en :  http://www.tupagina.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php

Listo a disfrutar

OPCION 2: DESDE  ELPANEL DEL HOSTING

La mayoria de los hosting cuentan con un robot instalador automatico, ya sea CPANEL con fantastico , DREAMHOST en goodies o cualquipanel bueno que tengas, busca algo como UPGRADE, UPDATE o ACTUALIZAR, en las instalaciones automaticas ( como fantastico en cpanel o one clic install en dreamhost).

Listo! , el robot hace todo por ti.

Opcion3: Plugin Automatic Upgrade

Lo instalas de manera normal pero igual tendras que desactivarlo, ahora veras una linea arriba que dice ” Click Here to automatically….” , das clic ahi.

Sigues los pasos del plugin , no olvides hacer un respaldo ( el plugin da la opcion ) walla!, ya estas en la nueva version.

Nota personal , de las 3 opciones la del PANEL es la mejor, te evitas de broncas y es casi automatico, el unico detalle es el lenguaje que tendras que cambiarlo a español subiendo el archivo correspondiente.

Saludos
