Designing Web Memberships

I’m in the pipeline to create Designing Web Memberships. Tentatively, I’ve 3 membership levels in mind :

Gold Membership – where members can enjoy unlimited web resources like unlimited web hosting, over 200+ premium WordPress themes, unlimited managed blogs at Blogs Machine, unlimited e-stores at HubStores etc.

Platinum Membership – All that of Gold Membership plus Blogs Machine Income Blueprint, video-based and online tutorials worth $$$ etc.

Diamond Membership – All that of Gold and Platinum memberships plus personal coaching etc.

The keynote advantage of these memberships is that all the memberships are single one-time only payment! This worry-free, pay one-time and enjoy unlimited offers is excellent especially for newbies and beginning internet marketers.

More details of these memberships to be finalized and released very soon … stay tuned!

Problem Upgrading To WordPress 3.2.1

If you’re using WordPress, it is always a good practice to upgrade to the latest version, in this case, WordPress 3.2.1.

However, I came to realize that web hosting providers, especially those on shared hosting, have a default 8MB or 32MB in terms of PHP memory limit. That means that the maximum memory allocated to run a PHP script is 32MB.

So, if you click on the Automatically Upgrade button in your WordPress dashboard, you’ll see an error message like :

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3981813 bytes) in /home/user/public_html/wp-includes/class-http.php on line 1420

The upgrade from WordPress 3.1.x to WordPress 3.2.x is a rather “huge” one. It requires more than 32MB to execute the change.

So how do you upgrade your WordPress to 3.2.x?

Well, one way, a rather recommended way, is to upgrade it manually – http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress

Nevertheless, if you insist to click that auto upgrade button (you lazy bum bum, LOL; no prob, I’m like you), there are several ways to do it.

First, try disable all your plugins, the major ones. Try again, and it might work. Hint : But upgrading to WordPress 3.2.x seems to always breach the 32MB memory limit. Alternatively, you can upload a php.ini file (I’ve included the down link here in .txt format; just download and rename it to php.ini) to your root WordPress folder.

Else, you can try increasing the WP_memory_limit  to 64MB in wp-config.php as in http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP

Last, but not least, contact your hosting provider to increase your PHP memory limit.

Now, why do hosting providers set such limit. It’s for a good reason to conserve the resources, especially on a shared server. Nevertheless, many of the hosting providers are increasing the limit to 64MB as they realize many of the clients are using WordPress.

Need A Helpdesk? Answer Helpdesk Is The Answer

If you have a corporate website, high chance is you’ll need an online support ticketing system so that you can provide prompt online support to your clients.

However, it may be due to technical difficulties or that you’re not using cPanel with Fantastico, you’ll find it rather helpless to set up such a helpdesk system.

Fear not. To have a professional helpdesk without any hassle on your part, all you need to do is to go to Answer Helpdesk and you can request for an osTicket Helpdesk to be set up for you … FREE of charge!

No worry, there’s no gimmick here. Just to commemorate the launch of Unlimited Host PRO which provide unlimited web hosting.
