The New WordPress 3.0 “Thelonious” is here. This site has been updated, and it was relatively easy. In the header of your dashboard you should see an upgrade now button. Once you click on the link, it will start the process. It actually was very simple and easy to perform. Even when I added the multisite capability. Not that I would use it for this site. Well without using some sort of domain masking for the other sites I own. Which actually is a good idea now that I think about it.

To add multisite capabilities add the line

define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true)

to the config.php file on your server. Once you complete that and re-load your dashboard, and you will be prompted to add the superadmin section. Just follow the steps that WP 3.0 has made simple to complete. Then you will be ready to discover a whole new WP…

If a new to the web game guy like me can get this accomplished, you shouldn’t have any problems.

My favorite part so far of the upgrade is undoubtedly the upgrade section. Which makes all your upgrades happen in one place. Now if only my theme, and plugins would get their act together and upgrade!

Sawyer http://www.ericdsawyer.com/?p=13 On FotosByEric.com I have installed a text me box to the sidebar of my WordPress blog page. I simply added Contact Form 7 to my plugin list.

The, you simply click on Add New and start a new Contact Form….

Then look at the chart below, and add your phone number before the carriers e-mail address.

That’s it. I wish, I knew how to make the submission box skinnier, but besides that it works great! It is better than the Text Me Plugin, and actually works. If you have any info on how I can change the submission Box, any help would be greatly appreciated.

T-Mobile: phonenumber@tmomail.net
Virgin Mobile: phonenumber@vmobl.com
Cingular: phonenumber@cingularme.com
Sprint: phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
Verizon: phonenumber@vtext.com
Nextel: phonenumber@messaging.nextel.com

where phonenumber = your 10 digit phone number

Chart From: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/939/sms_email_cingular_nextel_sprint_tmobile_verizon_virgin/  UPDATE:

 

Chris so graciously helped out with this topic by adding a way to send an automated reply:

 

“just made a [text* phone] and then a drop down [select* carrier "Verizon|@vtext.com" "Virgin Mobile|@vmobl.com"] then in the mail 2 I used the shortcodes To: [phone][carrier]
and it sends it out perfectly.
Hope this helps.
