Precautions taken before Updating WordPress

WordPress is the biggest blogging software, used by more than half of the bloggers worldwide. It is easy to use and operate on web hosting server without prior knowledge or skills on programming language. WordPress has been updated with WordPress 3.6 version and added Thirteen Thirty theme with more features and changes in the dashboard of WordPress admin area.

But, many of us have met the error occurred during update of WordPress. I have noticed many discussion on it on WordPress forum on which blogger have reported that WordPress database error occurred when they tried to update the WordPress. This also happened with me too and i could not resolve the issue as it is always suggested the keep backup of your website database so that you can retrieve your content.

So, i decided you to guide those new bloggers who are new to WordPress so that in future they won't get any error while any update made by WordPress.

Follow these steps to avoid error:

1. Download Backup: First step is the basic and most important in which you have to download backup of all your blog so that any problem you will face, can be encountered.


2. Deactivate all your plugins: When you receive update of WordPress, first thing you should do is deactivate all your plugins for a while. Sometimes, WordPress plugins create problem in updating your blog. As not every plugin are updated immediately with compatibility of new version of WordPress.

3. Switch to Default theme:
You might have installed third party theme to your WordPress blog, so immediately switch to default theme which you see first time during installation of your blog. Theme also create error in updating WordPress and thus, return database error which can be frustrated for non-developer or don't have any programming knowledge.

4. Clean your Database:
Must visit your Web directory and check there should be not any temporary files which can cause problem in updating your blog. You can create Cron jobs which automatically delete temporary files from your web hosting space and also enhance your visitors experience.

Buzzer interface with 8051 microcontroller

Buzzer  is a electronic device that converts the electronic signal into buzzing noise, that is applied to it. It can be used as electronic bell or as quiz buzzer in many applications around us. Here, i world like to discuss the interfacing of a small buzzer with 8051 microcontroller and how different projects can be constructed. Buzzer Interfacing: This project shows the interface with AT89S52 microcontroller to a buzzer. When a push button is pressed, the buzzer will get ON and OFF ( number of times set in the code ) and then stops. Circuit Diagram: - The port P1 of the microcontroller is connected to buzzer. This type of connection is possible, if the current requirements of the buzzer is not more than 20mA. The output is in current source mode so that buzzer will turn ON when the output of the port is logic LOW. Switch is connected to port P3 which remains at logic HIGH by pull up resistor.  Code: #include "REG52.h" #define buz P1 sbit SW=P3^0; long i...

Comparison Chart Between 8051, 8052, 8031and 8751

8051 is a popular 8-bit microcontroller and has been used in many applications since Intel introduced it. Many 8051 architecture are produced by Triscend, Intel, Atmel, Philips, Infineon (Siemens), ISSI, and Max Corp. Today, 8051 microcontrollers may not be popular but, the 8051 architecture is still popular and employed in thousands of embedded applications. This 8-bit architecture has been different segments such as 8052, 8051, 8751 and 8031 . 8052 is the super-set of 8051 and 8031 is the memory-less microcontroller hence, it has interfaced with external ROM. Whereas, 8751 chip has only 4Kbytes of on chip UV-EPROM. Everyone knows about the general 40-pin microcontroller i.e. 8051 introduced by Intel in 1980s and consists of serial communication pins, Timer, Interrupts, RAM, ROM. It has 4 ports and each port has 8 pins, total 32 pins and other 8 pins for other purposes. 8052 is the super-set of 8051 that consists of 8K bytes of internal RAM (4K in 8051), 256 by...

Different ways to generate delays in 8051

The delay length in 8051 microcontroller depends on three factors: The crystal frequency the number of clock per machine the C compiler. The original 8051 used 1/12 of the crystal oscillator frequency as one machine cycle. In other words, each machine cycle is equal to 12 clocks period of the crystal frequency connected to X1-X2 pins of 8051. To speed up the 8051, many recent versions of the 8051 have reduced the number of clocks per machine cycle from 12 to four, or even one. The frequency for the timer is always 1/12th the frequency of the crystal attached to the 8051, regardless of the 8051 version. In other words, AT89C51, DS5000, and DS89C4x0 the duration of the time to execute an instruction varies, but they all use 1/12th of the crystal's oscillator frequency for the clock source. 8051 has two different ways to generate time delay using C programming, regardless of 8051 version. The first method is simply using Loop   program function in which Delay() funct...
