Wordpress Site Shows Insecure Icon in Browser Address Bar When Using https Here's a common scenario: you build a new wordpress site, and then decide to turn on https after it's fully built, as a result some of your image assets are still referenced with http vs https.  Chrome and Firefox will show "insecure" when they are loaded.  This is how to change that broken lock symbol to a closed lock symbol. How to Fix There are add-ons that will try to fix this or you can use URL re-writing, or you could edit the SQL database records and change all http to https.  My preferred method is to dump the WP_POSTMETA and WP_POSTS tables from the Wordpress SQL database, then edit the dump files with vim, then load them back in. The Easy Way Open wp-config.php with an editor such as VIM. Change these lines: Change the http to https to force https mode. The Hard Way - Dump The Tables Dump the Tables The dump Files Using VIM to edit Use this VIM command ...

Suddenly Without Warning You Are Locked Out of Shoretel Director You or your phone system administrator has made a change that violated your licensing, such as added softphones or granted some user Workgroup Supervisor roles. And 45 days went by and nobody noticed the red warning banner. Now you are locked out for good.  That's real cute , thanks guys. You need to call Shoretel TAC to unlock it. You may even need to call your "partner" Grrrr....  Unfortunately, the only fix is to add more licences to come into compliance again.  Furthermore, you may have to pay for another compliance token.  Fortunately, there IS another way to weasel your way back into Shoretel Director so you can comply with the licencing.  Our method of weaseling back in is to edit the MainFrame.asp front end director landing page.  First step is to use RDP to logon to the console of your HQ server.  In this excercise, we will show you how to do this with Shoretel 14.2 (build ...

The QuickBooks Database Service Just Starts and Then Stops A typical small business scenario is to run everything from their Windows Domain Controller, using something like Small Business Server, or just using a single DC in a file server and QB server role. Sometimes the QB Database server will fail to start due to the competition for port 53, that it shares with the DNS server.   The fix is to stop the DNS Server service then start up the QB services first, finally start the DNS Server service.  There is some terrible advice on Intuit's own website. It's just plain wrong.  Do not try to reinstall Quickbooks Server.  The solution is to delay the start of DNS services, and to change the service user of the QB servers to QBDataServiceUserXX
