Back To From Where It Started

To be precise; it been Six years, Two months, and Six days since I planted a seed to write about blogging. The journey started from a free blogspot blog. In its early stage, I do remember, once somebody left a comment sarcastically that why dont you take benefits of it then in response of my post regarding benefits of having custom domains. I didn't have the money then, and also wanted to grow my site on its own without even investing a cent from my pocket. So, I replied, wait and watch we are in progress.

And things started getting into place. I received link placement offer for $10 in one of already published post. This helped in taking one more step ahead by giving an identity to this blog of domain ProBloggersTrick.com. And then journey kept going on for couple more years, including rebranding to Bloggeristan.com, and helping strangers for nothing in return, as I didn't monetize it again and never sold any kind of links again. As I was doing good on my other sites so I didn't felt any need to squeeze money from something of which I was emotionally attached.

It felt so awesome seeing couple hundred people visiting blog each day, hoping they are getting benefited. And then seeing people complimenting, subscribing, interacting, or asking queries were the most immense pleasures I got from here.

Later I got very much busy and stopped posting other than random 2-3 posts a year. But, kept responding to people and solving problem in person free of cost even when they offered or asked for it.

Its been a month now, I have failed to protect the identity of this blogspot blog which it has earned. In short, for some reason I didn't focus online since couple months or half year or even way more. Especially in most recent couple months. I saw an email notification of Bloggeristan.com domain expiring, but didn't acted immediately and then forgot about it. Exactly after 30 days when I was checking emails I saw it, and then contacted my registrar. But he said it has been deleted and is now in process of going towards its new owner as someone has backordered it during expiration time period.

Later found out that it has been taken by someone with whom I have been in contact via Bloggeristan facebook fan page. So I sent him a message enquiring, but he refused. Below I'm attaching my conversation with him.

Still now, this guy has nothing to be blamed. The mistake was mine, I didn't take care of the seed I planted. And it is once again standing where it started its journey. It has lost its identity, I lost a domain with whom I was attached emotionally. Haha, who knows my emotional connections with my domains better than Junaid Akbar, a gentlemen, one of earliest subscriber, and a very good friend I got as a gift from this same blog.

I'm not sure either to come up with new domain name or just make this blogspot great again.

But hopefully, in coming days I will come up with a plan to make it active and helpful again. Btw as a hint, along blogging, I'm planning to share my other experience of making money online and as being an investor and trader in stock exchange. Will also share updates on my coming and under progress online and offline projects as well. Insha'Allah

How I Solved 500 error in Wordpress After Editing PHP File

I have recently trying to use JavaScript inside wordpress post by simply editing post but failed to make it work. Decided to use apply some jQuery from Stack Overflow in php file, in a hope it may work. The moment I posted it in extras.php, and clicked on update file button, my whole website starts giving 500 Error.

Very soon I realised its giving 500 error because of editing php file, because my other website on same server is working fine. To get this problem solve, I contacted my hosting provider (a kind of friend) on facebook, but he was outside and ensure me that he will fix it in couple hours when he will be back to home.

So, I headed towards google with my query, and got hints that it can also be fixed using backup. But when I accessed cpanel I didn't find any backup. But in a hope that there should be some place where that corrupt extras.php should be available. So, I accessed File Manager from cPanel. And found extras.php file from public_html >> yourdomain.com >> wp-content >> themes >> Fashionistas (current theme your website is using) >> inc >> extras.php. Then simple right click on extras.php to edit it and replace the addition you made right before getting 500 Error and then click on Save Changes. Thats it. Now Your site should be working fine. Look below screenshot for better understanding of steps I followed.

Thank you!

How To Reinstate Amazon Associates CLOSED Account

As part of struggle to make 2017 goals reality, Today on 12th November 2016 I headed to my very old but almost zero-meter Amazon associates account which I made years ago, in 2011. After struggling with recovering password I managed to sign in but welcomed by an important notice, mentioning;
