From the plugins he makes to the plugins he uses, Vlad sits down with us for a bit to have a chat!

You know what…just forget about the Vlad Pick of the Week. Better produce something like the VladCast of the Month. A Podcast by WordCast with Vlad once a month talking about his new Plugins or anything else on WordPress.
Great show!

So I do have a question for you guys. Is your new segment “WordPress Tip” or how you called it still on…if so you might want to clarify for myself and others the PHP Safe Mode.
I actually do have some problems with it and can’t update my Plugins through the Backend. I ask my Hoster about it and they don’t want to turn it off for now. Is there a work around because I pretty happy with my hosting and I figured there might be others out there with the same problem.

Yep the segment is still in the show. Great idea for the segment Nicolas - we’ll definitely cover it.
I had the same problem you had with the upgrade plugin function. What I did was force WP to use the FTP function to upgrade the plugins.
Open your wp-admin/includes/file.php and search for the following:
function get_filesystem_method() {Above it, add:
/*Then search for:
if ( ! $method && extension_loaded('ftp') ) $method = 'ftpext';Above it, add:
*/The final result should look like this:
/*function get_filesystem_method() {
$method = false;
if( function_exists('getmyuid') && function_exists('fileowner') ){
$temp_file = wp_tempnam();
if ( getmyuid() == fileowner($temp_file) )
$method = 'direct';
unlink($temp_file);
}
*/
Install Vlad’s Plugin Central plugin from http://www.prelovac.com/ and upgrade all your plugins at once! Problem fixed.
Don’t forget to make a backup of file.php just in case things go wrong.

Thanks for the help Kym.
So it kind of worked. I get fewer error messages. What’s showing up with your hack is the following:
When I set line 95 to comment, the following message shows up:
Do you have any idea?
