I guess there are hundreds of ways to do this, but I found the Google natural way of doing it, and I guess it could no be simpler: Install Site Kit by Google  plug-in to your Wordpress site. No need to change themes or anything. It is a simple plug, where you just click the default options, and Google will do the rest.  Detailed instructions are located here: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/7527509?hl=en

I was not able to open my wordpress site, and getting the error  "safari cant find server"  the problem seem related to a misdirection of the port not being redirected and trying to run the local wordpress site on port 80, as I have deleted or ruined something in the restore process.  As a workaround, in MAMP, I went to Settings > Ports & User and then set server ports to the usual defaults, not MAMP defaults (80, 81, 443, 7443, 3306 & 11211). Then I could start the site. It is just a workaround, because, going back to "Set default MAMP ports" won't fix it. Then I tried to open in a fresh browser (I tried opening on Edge), and it worked! So, next step, opening on a Private Window in Safari did the trick. So I deleted history from today, and it all worked fine.

 When I tried to restore a mysql database on phpAdmin, I got the following error: phpMyAdmin - Error Incorrect format parameter after a small search found the following article https://sitenetic.com/techie/mamp-error-phpmyadmin-error-incorrect-format-parameter/ The problem for me was that the database dump file was bigger than 32MB, and php was limited to 8/32 MB The fast solution for me, on MAMP console, selected Languages>PHP> and Open the default template There I changed the following parameter post_max_size = 128 M and the following parameter upload_max_filesize = 128 M MAMP offered to restart the servers, and I did, and then, I was able to restore my database!

I was having some problems installing Windows 8 KB2770917 update, it stopped at 15% and then it rolled back the installation. As being diagnosed as having CUD (Cumpulsory update disorder) I found a solution in Microsoft site: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-windows_update/i-cannot-install-windows-update-kb2770917/e2189ae7-e86a-4bf2-931a-d985b25ad950 Run msconfig (Windows+R, msconfig) Go to Services Select Hide all Microsoft services Disable All non Microsoft services Setup KB reboot run msconfig again, Services and  Enable all Services reboot again to start the services and it worked for me.

I neeeded to update MySQL, installed using an automatic installer, so having passed a lot of time after I did the installation, I needed to know which version of MySQL I was running. I found two was: Inside MySQL console: mysql>show global variables like "version_compile%"; The answer was: +-------------------------+-------+ | Variable_name           | Value | +-------------------------+-------+ | version_compile_machine | x86   | | version_compile_os      | Win64 | +-------------------------+-------+ As I understand this means that I am runnig x86 version of MySQL on a Windows 64 machine, so the answer for me is that I am running the 32 bit version. x86 32 bits i686 32 bits x86-64 - 64 bits The other way to get this information is using the command prompt, in your mysqld.exe location run: mysqld --version and you will get mostly the same information. As I understand Win64 refers to the machine I am running, and the other value to the mysql ver

I have been trying to install ProcessMaker using Wamp to avoid having several installations of MySQL, Apache and PHP. After serveral attemps I kept getting errors and could not make it work. My goal was to setup ProcessMaker in the following way. I tried using an alias instead of a Virtual Host. http://localhost/ProcessMaker As it turns out, it cannot be done that way. Whatever you do, you will not make it work (I guess there is a way, but yet have to find one, and would be not supported). The correct way would be something like http://ProcessMaker.localhost This would requiere changes in my hosts file and I guess I will have to go that way. The reference I found was this: http://forum.processmaker.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=249 Hopes to save you some time.
