If you’ve forgotten your password for an online self-host WordPress blog, it’s easy as clicking on the “Lost your password” to recover. But in a localhost environment, configurations may vary from machine to machine. Most of the time “Lost your password” will not work as email system is either not supported or not properly setup.

In this article, I’m going to show a simple workaround to login to your localhost WordPress Dashboard even if you’ve forgot your password, or even the login.

The Problem

So you’ve forgotten your password, or username, or both. WordPress suggest you use the “Lost your password” function to help recover but email system wasn’t properly setup in your localhost? Here’s how to get you back into the Dashboard quickly.

The Solution

Go into PhpMyAdmin. The URL should be http://localhost/phpmyadmin, but it might vary depending on configurations. Look for the database name on the left sidebar. In our case it’s called “wordpress“.

To display human readable dates on your blog, you have to use the human_time_diff() function. The following piece of code will show a post date like “Posted 6 days ago”.
Paste it anywhere within the loop, save the file, and you’re done.

Posted <?php echo human_time_diff(get_the_time('U'), current_time('timestamp')) . ' ago'; ?>

Little code snippet for showing amount of comment a comment author made.

I saw a really cool thing on ProBlogDesign. In the comments there is also the amount of comments the comment authors made. Here is a screenshost.

Showing Amount Of Comments A Comment Author Made

Here is a function you can use to get and echo the number of comments a comment author made. Put it in the functions.php file in your theme.

<pre>function commentCountAuthor(){

	$oneText = 'One comment';
	$moreText = '% comments';

	global $wpdb;

	$result = $wpdb->get_var('
		SELECT
			COUNT(comment_ID)
		FROM
			'.$wpdb->comments.'
		WHERE
			comment_author_email = "'.get_comment_author_email().'"'
	);

	if($result == 1):

		echo str_replace('%', $result, $oneText);

	elseif($result > 1):

		echo str_replace('%', $result, $moreText);

	endif;

}
</pre>

Simply call the functions inside the comments loop.

<pre>commentCountAuthor();
</pre>

How to Display Facebook Fan Count in Text

The technique is simple and very similar to displaying Google feedcount in text. The only difference is – we will be using Facebook’s API. In this post, we want to show you how it can be done so you can add them into your WordPress blog or PHP powered website. Load up your favorite code editor, here we go.

Step 1 – Get API Key, Application Secret & Page ID
These are the three mandatory information you’ll need to get things started.

API Key and Application Secret
Sign in to your Facebook and click on Developer’s link on the site bar. (If you don’t have a Developer’s account, you will

have to sign up for one first)

Click “Set Up New Application“. Enter any application name, agree to the Facebook terms and click “Create Application“. Note: We are not going to create a real application, but we’ll need to go through these processes to get a API Key and Application Secret

On the next page, you should be able to see your personal API Key and Application Secret. Copy it down somewhere or leave the browser window open.

Page ID

Page ID is the ID of your Facebook Fan Page. If you don’t have a Facebook Fan page, you’ll have to first create one. To get the ID of your Fan page, click edit page, and look for your ID (numbers) at the end of the URL – http://www.facebook.com/pages/edit/?id=XXXXXXXXX

Step 2 – Get Facebook.php

You’ll also need the Facebook API PHP SDK file called Facebook.php. Download it, and place it in the root of your folder. Learn more about Facebook PHP SDK.

Step 3 – Display Fancount

To show off your fancount, place the following code in your php file,

<?php
require_once('facebook.php');
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
 'appId'  => 'app_id',
 'secret' => 'secret_key',
 'cookie' => true,
));
$result = $facebook->api(array(
 'method' => 'fql.query',
 'query' => 'select fan_count from page where page_id = page_id;'
));
$fb_fans = $result[0]['fan_count'];
?>

And then you will want to edit the codes to change the following:

• Line 4 – Replace app_id with your Facebook Application ID.
• Line 5 – Replace secret_key with Secret.
• Line 10 – Replace the last page_id with your Facebook Fanpage ID.

Please refer to Step 1 on how to get app_id, secret_key and page_id.

To display the fancount, insert this following code anywhere in the page:

<?php echo $fb_fans; ?>

	global $post;
	if(has_post_thumbnail($post->ID)) {
		$content = '<div>' . get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID) . '</div>' . $content;
	}
	return $content;
}
add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'diw_post_thumbnail_feeds');
add_filter('the_content_feed', 'diw_post_thumbnail_feeds');
</pre>

In the southern part of the Celestial Empire in the town of Kunming there’s a hill open for the tourist. Right on the top of the hill there is a small and very strange park. All of people working for it – from the show artists up to the cleaners are shorter than 130 centimeters.

BonBon-Land, Denmark

Though this park, located in the southern part of Denmark, is named in honor of the popular candy inside of it there’s not to much that can awaken the appetite. The park is crowded with images of suffering from vomiting rats, urine and other ants are not the most beloved forms of living organisms. For the lovers of sweets in the park there are a few very naturalistic candies and thus it is appropriate to note their names of  “bird droppings” or “dead flies”.

However, unlike some of the disappointed parents, six years old children are just too much satisfied with such a “toilet” humor.

Dickens World, United Kingdom

Even if you’re not whiling away the winter evenings of leisurely reading the novels of Dickens, you may be interested to move to a couple of centuries ago and briefly immers in a world of hunger and poverty, to be among the beggars and fugitives.

The most popular attraction of the park is the boat trip based on the novel “Great Expectations”, while repeating Magwitch escape from the prison.

Love Land, South Korea

And now they are required to drive into the park to wander among the 140 sculptures and watch films about sex.
Isn’t this the best way to get the tutorials?

It is assumed that the grand building will open up already in late 2010.
