WordPress error: Image could not be processed. Please go back and try again.

If you get an error saying

Image could not be processed. Please go back and try again.

when you try to put a new custom header image for WordPress theme 2010 on a server using Ubuntu the following may help:

[bash]apt-get install php5-gd[/bash]
once it installs then
[code]invoke-rc.d apache2 restart[/code]

This will provide php the ability to manipulate images that WordPress is trying to use.

Using Git and Github

To download a repository hosted on github
[bash]git clone [email protected]:account_name/repo_name.git[/bash]

To update your code from the master branch of the repo:

[bash]git pull origin master[/bash]

To commit the changes you have made locally:

[bash]git commit -m "the message explaining what these code changes did"[/bash]

To send your changes to the repo at github:
[bash]git push origin master[/bash]

Code to Display text only on WordPress Blog Home Page

Cut and past php code to determine if it is the wordpress blog home page (and only the home page itself).

[php]<?php if (is_home() && !is_paged()): ?>[/php]

Example, to print john if it is a “homepage” templated page and jill otherwise:

[php]<?php if (is_home(); ?>

<?php
if($name == ‘john’){
echo ‘Hi John’;
}else if($name == ‘jill’){
echo ‘Hi Jill’;
}else{
echo ‘Hi’;
}
?>[/php]
