In rare situations, removing the WordPress single page format (single.php) and redirection to a parent such as a taxonomy can have massive advantages, especially if you have continuously expiring content. This is a solution I came up specifically for use with The Couponic.
Coupons are their own post type (coupons_type) and this code redirects them to a Store based Taxonomy
This quick solution which can be added to your themes functions.php file:
[box] // COUPONIC COUPON CUSTOM POSTS
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_single_coupon' );
function redirect_single_coupon()
{
is_singular( 'coupons_type' )
and wp_redirect( '../',301 )
and exit;
}[/box]
Remove Pagination from Appthemes Clipper
This one was doing my head in for a while. I wanted to remove the coupon pagination from the WordPress theme Clipper and most of the suggestions via their forum involved commenting out the pagination function or creating a separate index loop. Crazy stuff, creating separate index files is an exercise in disaster and commenting out the code in general will remove pagination site wide; something I definitely did not want.
With wordpress, there is always a function for that and this issue is no exception. How to Remove Pagination the easy way using the WordPress remove_action filter:

Another WordPress upgrade issue. This time the exact error message is as follows:
Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.8.3.zip.
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2357261 bytes) in /home/xxx/public_html/wp-includes/http.php on line 1324
There are a couple ways to fix this issue, with the easiest is to edit wp-settings.php at line 13 and increase the value from 32M to 64M:
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');
As per this WordPress support topic you can also increase your host php limit which will help fix the issue in the future.
WordPress PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT
I got this error in one of my WordPress installs: Incompatible archive PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Invalid archive structure.
In this case it was due to using an installer such as Fantastic or Installatron to initially setup WordPress, a manual install over my current install fixed this. There is Further research here on WordPress.org also.
The solution is to download this version of http.php and install it over your own wp-includes/http.php file. Presto! all good to go.
