May the Domains be with You
May’s Intentional learning is Domain of One’s Own. I’m super excited for this month! Not only because DoOO is such a big part of Relcaim’s infrastructure but it’s always nice to have a refresher on how the system works together to create a space for students to start carving out their own space online. So […]
ds106radio Chats
One of my favorite things to come out of this time of social distancing has been the revival of ds106radio. Its been such a treat to jump online to listen to music and conversations! I was first on the radio back in 2014 when I took wire106. Classmates and I create a group project to […]
OER20: Scaling in the Open
So another presentation at a conference in the books! I never thought I’d present virtually, let alone in my dining room (peep the microwave in my background during the videos), but the folks at ALT sure do know how to throw a shindig! I’ve enjoyed the conference so much and hearing all the wonderful work […]
Updraft Plus vs All-in-One
During the discussion of the February intentional learning, Jim mentioned he started using the All-in-One WP migration plugin when working with WordPress to WordPress migrations. Through the many migrations I’ve done while at Reclaim, I’ve found the easiest option is to use a backup/migration plugin like UpDraft or All-in-One, because most of the time I […]
Intentional Learning: February
This past month, Reclaim has embarked on a journey of intentional learning. Learning has been at the forefront of Reclaim’s core values and something I’ve personally enjoyed during my time with Reclaim. It’s always pushed me to learn as much as I can, pushing me to grow within my position. And that’s been the foundation […]
WordPress Login Screen through Installatron
Have you ever tried to log into your WordPress site through your cPanel but you’ve hit a login screen instead of the dashboard? Annoying, right? Installatron’s auto-login for WordPress is such a great feature until it doesn’t work (of course). Quite often, this happens because the URL that’s stored in the database for that particular […]
Domain Transfer Tips and Tricks
Have you run into any issues when transferring a domain recently? There are EPP codes, privacy protection, emails to approve or deny the transfer, unlocking the domain at the registrar, .etc. So I’d like to use this post as a guide to getting the domain set up properly to ensure the transfer goes through on […]
Domains section in cPanel
There’s a newer section in cPanel called the ‘Domains’ section. This strives to combine the subdomain, alias, and addon domains sections in cPanel allowing you to manage all domains in one interface. Yay platform changes! When I first started in the wide world of web hosting, I got used to managing addons in the Addon […]
Rsync
Rsync is a great tool to use when you’re moving large files between a server. Reclaim uses it often when working through migrations. To start, you’ll want to make sure you’re logged into the server where the content currently is. Then you’ll want to run the following command ‘rsync -avz . xxx@serverhostname.reclaimhosting.com:path_to_folder/’ First, let’s break […]
2020: New Beginnings
Well, 2020 is here! And what a year 2019 was. I have several drafts of things I’ve wanted to write (cough cough Domains19) that I didn’t get to so I’m dusting this blog off as part of some of my 2020 professional “intentions” (I hate the word resolutions) to write more. And what a better […]
