@sir Dex,
heheheh katatapos ko nga lang magpost sa site ko ng WP 2.8.1 release tapos meron na palang 2.8.2… but the good news is, it’s so easy to update in WordPress via dashboard, just only takes a minute of your time.

May tanong po ako sir Dex, every time ba na magpalit ng theme o mag-update ng WP kailangan din i-update ‘yong .htaccess mo para sa permalink?

@ariston | money-tise online,

Ang alam ko ay wala namang issus doon sa .htaccess .. ang alam ko ay independent yun .. siguro kung mag karoon ng problema after update saka na lang i check yung /htaccess
