Hi Bryan Willis,

WPide already creates a backup each time you save the file, is this what you are looking for?

Kind Regards

Hi Depri_me,

It seems WPide is now an inactive project, so I have made a fork addressing a lot of the issues on GitHub and on the support forums.

As of commit e2a46d5, I have integrated Emmet into the editor.

Please, check out my GitHub repository!
https://github.com/AceIDE/editor/

If you want to try the plugin, I am hoping to have it in the plugin repository soon, until then you may compile the plugin using the instructions in the readme file on GitHub, or you may use the pre-compiled plugin I have provided for WordPress:

Kind Regards

WPide is a file editor. It is no different to how any other file editor would work in these instances. The only way to not lose these changes is to, as you have done, make a backup before the upgrade then to apply the changes back into the modified theme.

Hi there,

The buttons for our site are actually in the footer and visible on all pages. I went onto your blog and tested and got exactly the same error, only with Twitter in Internet Exploder.

We don’t have any unsecure pages at this point, however due to it happening on your blog as well, I doubt the protocol used could be the issue.

Thanks.

Well, I am not sure.

I have not used the ODBC driver – I assume that allows you to connect to many different DBMS?

There is a PDO_MYSQL, however I think the main difference is that it looks like PDO is specifically re-written for each DBMS – I will look into this soon and confirm this… And that PDO is object-oriented. Is the ODBC extension procedural or object-oriented?

Xarran BS – You did not mention the PDO extension.

Personally for all my databasing I use the MySQLi database connection, because I am only developing with MySQL databases. However if there is a chance you may be using multiple different DBMS, the PDO extension is most likely the best bet for you.

swatkats,

MySQLi is definately not slower, however it is not guarranteed to be faster in all circumstances.

Do not quote me on this as I can not quite remember, and can not find the source but speed improvements can be as low as 0.04 seconds.

@abhishek, any luck? If we do not hear back within the next few days I will do it, and report my findings ??

Shane

Abhishek Ghosh, do you have any WordPress sites on the same server running on a MySQL(i) database connection? It would be interesting to compare the two.

The MySQLi driver is better than MySQL, on more modern versions of the MySQL database. The ‘i’ stands for improved, and it brings some performance advantages.

MySQL API choosing

For new projects it is suggested to use the MySQLi driver.
I assume that WPDB still uses the old MySQL driver for compatability reasons, and as the above link states, the performance improvements are sometimes as low as 0.1%.
