Fix Woozone Import Synchronization test fails at Step 1

The problem may be an easy fix for you as it was for me! Turns out that I had entered my Amazon AWS credentials into their appropriate boxes under Amazon config tab and hit the Save button. I knew the information was correct because I had copied and pasted from my AWS console directly. How ever, that is the wrong way to do it because Woozone won't work unless you hit the Test button and it shows Success. Then you hit Save button. And go back to server status and check import synchronization test again. It passes Step 1 now.

Fix the wp_remote_get() failed

Some plugins will test for it and return a result of 'failed'. However, the plugin itself may be the cause. One plugin was giving me error for wp_remote_get() so I started to test if server had curl installed, then I checked the php.ini file for Allow_url_include = on and then checked if wp_remote_get worked in a different plugin. It did. Lesson learned, save yourself time by first checking that the wordpress plugin that is claiming your server doesn't work is actually correct. Or, if you feel like modifying the plugins code to fix it, you could go to file editor and look for the test function and change the URL being used with one that is still live and able to return data.

CodeIgniter, Laravel, Notepad++, and Sublime Text 2

I had started to learn about CodeIgniter and built a simple dynamic website locally and then was looking for more tutorials to progress my learning when I came across a blog by Shawn McCool saying CodeIgniter is dead and this caught my attention so I read it in full. Well beyond CodeIgniter being based on old PHP version 4 and having a lack of developers pushing it forward I was curious, what is a better alternative? It didn't take long to find out as he was asked already by a commenter and his reply was Laravel that he uses and some others. With my limited knowledge in these matters, I am going to follow the recommendations of experienced developers, of course! So I downloaded the files off GitHub and then looked for tutorials to get started learning how Laravel works. Coincidentally, the first one I stumbled upon was authored by Shawn McCool, and he does a great job breaking it down into layman's terms. Laravel is really cool and easier syntax to learn and write than CodeIgn

Encountered this error message when launching AVD in Eclipse IDE: "could not get wgl getextensions string arb"

 I tried to run the sample "Hello World" app and kept getting error message: "could not get wgl getextensions string arb" and Home screen would not show up. The fix is simple though, just locate your installation location of Android SDK\tools\lib and copy this location (for me the location is C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\tools\lib) and open Control Panel, System, Advanced Settings, and Environment paths.  Click Add New. For the variable name, use: ANDROID_SWT and for the Path write in your path to tools\lib and click OK twice. Now the Android Virtual Device runs without any errors. That is so long as you have setup the paths to Java JDK, etc. already.  Error came back upon second launch. I have ATI HD 4200 Radeon Mobile video card and downloaded latest driver and installed and the error has gone away.
