Using Heimdall to flash files to your Android device can be confusing if you are a Mac or Linux user. Heimdall is an alternative to Odin, which is Windows based. Odin is a little more straight forward and I found Heimdall pretty confusing. Most the time, you can flash files to your Android device using…
Fix No Sound/Calls on Sprint S4 – SPH-L720
After flashing many custom ROM’s that work, you may run into a no sound or calls problem after a normal flashing procedure (data wipe –> ROM/Gapps Flash).

Bluehost Breaks My Account Woocommerce Page
Lately, I’ve been working on a Woocommerce website that is hosted on Bluehost. I always login using the “/wp-admin” URL, so I didn’t test the “/my-account/” page.

Malicious, Spammy, or Other Links in WordPress

Recently a website was presenting the dreaded “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page” message when logging in.

Upgrade Warning for Internet Explorer 10 and Below
I recently had a request to display a warning message to Internet Explorer users who use IE 10 or less. There are many Wordpress plugins and other suggestions, but they all pretty much apply to Internet Explorer 8 and below. I tried jReject, but there seems to be a compatibility issue with IE 8 and…

How to Unlock Sprint Galaxy S4 for Global SIM GSM
I recently traveled to Europe with my Sprint Galaxy S4 world phone. I planned on getting a pre-paid GSM SIM card to use for Google maps and navigation. It turned out great. At the airport, I found a “SIM Local” prepaid wireless shop and paid 20 euro (about $26 USD) for a Meteor SIM card…

This is how to remove “index.php” from your permalinks in ASP.NET Windows Wordpress hosting. If you’ve installed Wordpress on Windows ASP.NET hosting, you probably have found that there are a few minor differences. One of those differences is permalinks.
