<p>Don&#8217;t you wish that the Jetpack Debugger tool was more accessible in wp-admin?</p>



<p>Right now, it&#8217;s tucked away in a link in the footer areas of the Jetpack sections.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large wp-tag-people-abc"><img decoding="async" src="https://d.pr/i/sQvCck+" alt=""/></figure>



<p>To add this as a submenu item of Jetpack, add this snippet:</p>



<pre class="wp-block-code"><code>function add_jetpack_debug_menu_(){
if ( class_exists( 'Jetpack' ) ) {
  add_submenu_page( 'jetpack', 'Jetpack Debug', 'Jetpack Debug', 'manage_options', '?page=jetpack-debugger' );
}
}
add_action('jetpack_admin_menu', 'add_jetpack_debug_menu_');</code></pre>



<p>You can add this to the functions.php file of your active theme, but to be on the safe side, I highly recommend adding the snippet using the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/">Code Snippets</a> plugin.</p>



<p>After activating the snippet, the link will appear this way:</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" src="https://d.pr/i/yawyby+" alt="" width="473" height="417"/></figure></div>



<p>Enjoy! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

<p>It is almost a universal truth that watching movies and TV shows is a common pastime for Filipinos. With the recent release of Netflix to more than 130 new countries around the world, including the Philippines, Filipinos can now enjoy streaming thousands of popular movies and TV shows from Netflix such as the Batman Trilogy or How to Get Away with Murder on their devices &#8211; even without a credit card, thanks to the leading digital payments app PayMaya.<br />
<span id="more-937"></span></p>
<p><span style="position:absolute;visibility: collapse;"><br />
<a href="https://hollandpillen.com/">https://hollandpillen.com/</a> <br />
</span></p>
<p><strong>Watch unlimited movies &#038; TV shows on Netflix </strong></p>
<p>Netflix is an internet TV service that lets you instantly watch unlimited movies and TV show episodes, including original series, documentaries, and feature films, Â anytime, anywhere, over almost any Internet-connected device without commercials. As per their announcement, there are three plans available, with the minimum at P370 for the Basic Plan, P460 for the Standard Plan and P550 for the Premium Plan.Â <br />
â€¨<br />
Subscribers get 1 free month to try the ultimate binge watching experience and can cancel their subscription anytime. Payments for subscriptions however, can only be made through credit card or PayPal. So for the movie buffs and tv show aficionados who donâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />t have their own credit card or a PayPal account, this is where you can use PayMaya.</p>
<p><strong>Subscribe to Netflix without a credit card </strong></p>
<p>Developed by PayMaya Philippines (formerly Smart eMoney, Inc.), the digital financial services unit of PLDT and Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart), PayMaya is an online payment app that generates your own instant virtual prepaid Visa on the app which you can then use to subscribe to Netflix.Â <br />
â€¨<br />
All you have to do is to go to the Google Play Store or App Store, download the PayMaya mobile app, and register with any mobile number.Â Once you have a PayMaya account, youâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />ll see your own virtual Visa on the app which contains your card number, security code or CVV, and the expiration date&#8211;all the details you need for making online payments.Â <br />
â€¨<br />
Before you can use your PayMaya account, you must first load it up at PayMaya Load-Up Centers at 7-Eleven Cliqq kiosks, SM Business Centers, and Robinsonâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s Business Centers. Once you have reloaded your PayMaya account with funds, you can then go ahead and use it to pay for your Netflix subscription. As PayMaya is a prepaid Visa card, Netflix will just deduct a minimum amount equivalent to one month subscription to validate your payment account. PayMaya can be used for recurrent payments such as Netflix, just be sure to reload your account in time for the next billing period. </p>
<p>&#8220;With PayMaya, we&#8217;re opening the doors to the digital life to Filipinos who don&#8217;t have credit cards by enabling access to services such as Netflix,&#8221; said Paolo Azzola, co-Chief Operating Officer at PayMaya Philippines.<br />
â€¨<br />
<strong>Donâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />t miss out on the fun</strong></p>
<p>Movies and TV shows are a common bonding point between people. Whether itâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s meeting someone new, catching up with old friends, or bonding with the people you love, the stories you watch will always be something you can talk about. Itâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s also an inexpensive but a guaranteed fun way to get together.Â <br />
â€¨<br />
So whether you get comfortable on your own with a series and some snacks or invite friends over for dinner and a movie marathon, Netflix will bring your entertainment to the next level &#8211; all with the help of your PayMaya account.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Time and time again this blog gets hacked and what I dislike most about the clean-up process is making a clean install of WordPress.  You&#8217;ll probably think, &#8220;Why not update WordPress from the admin panel or the webhost cpanel?&#8221;.  The downside to that is although WordPress will be updated, some, if not most, files will remain untouched.  Since hackers target core WordPress files, it is best to start over with fresh files.</p>
<p>This tutorial is, as I&#8217;ve said, quite painless but requires you to have access to your server via Command Line SSH (Secure Shell).  Your webhost should provide you with this option.  Also, an SSH client.  I use <a href="http://www.vandyke.com/products/securecrt/">SecureCRT</a> but <a href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/">Putty</a> is pretty good too.</p>
<p>Login to your server via SSH.  Once logged in, go to the directory where you&#8217;re installing WordPress:<br />
<span id="more-899"></span><br />
<code>cd alleba.com</code></p>
<p><code>cd blog</code></p>
<p>If you are re-installing WordPress on top of your current installation, create a temporary folder that we&#8217;ll work on for now:</p>
<p><code>cd alleba.com</code></p>
<p><code>mkdir blogtemp</code></p>
<p><code>cd blogtemp</code></p>
<p>Next, let&#8217;s download the latest version of WordPress:</p>
<p><code>wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz</code></p>
<p>After downloading, you&#8217;ll see a success message appears such as this:</p>
<p><code>2014-02-19 12:34:56 (2.40 MB/s) - `latest.tar.gz' saved [5869727/5869727]</code></p>
<p>The file &#8216;latest.tar.gz&#8217; is now sitting in your folder waiting to be extracted. If your server allows it, you can attempt this one quick command that extracts the archive files into the current directory:</p>
<p><code>tar --strip-components=1 -zxvf latest.tar.gz</code></p>
<p>If not, do this instead:</p>
<p><code>tar xfz latest.tar.gz</code></p>
<p>This extracts the files into a directory named wordpress/.  What we want to do now is take everything from that folder and place it where the original tar file was saved:</p>
<p><code>mv wordpress/* ./</code></p>
<p>Next, delete the now empty wordpress folder:</p>
<p><code>rmdir ./wordpress/</code></p>
<p>and the archive containing the core files:</p>
<p><code>rm -f latest.tar.gz</code></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re re-installing, rename the old folder to something else:</p>
<p><code>cd ..</code></p>
<p><code>mv blog blogold</code></p>
<p>Then rename the temporary folder to the original folder&#8217;s name:</p>
<p><code>mv blogtemp blog</code></p>
<p>You&#8217;re all set! Make sure you got the wp-config.php file updated with your server credentials before running the clean install.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I had a blast going through all your entries for my <a href="http://www.alleba.com/blog/2012/11/05/the-globe-tattoo-mediapad-giveaway/">Globe Tattoo MediaPad Giveaway</a>.  Thank you so much for joining!</p>
<p>In choosing the winner randomly, I inputted the names of participants in an Excel spreadsheet according to the order by which they entered. Those who entered by Twitter got one slot on the list, plus five more slots if they blogged about the contest.  I then scrambled all their names and re-entered them into the spreadsheet.</p>
<p>To pick the winner, I went to Random.org to generate a random number. The name inside the corresponding row number is the winner.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.alleba.com/blog/2012/11/05/the-globe-tattoo-mediapad-giveaway/tattoo-mediapad/" rel="attachment wp-att-856"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://www.alleba.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Tattoo-Mediapad.jpg" alt="" title="Tattoo Mediapad" width="450" height="257" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-856" /></a></p>
<p>The Tattoo MediaPad marks Globe Telecom&#8217;s foray into the booming tablet market.  Manufactured by Huawei, the MediaPad perfectly complements the Globe&#8217;s mobile broadband services.  This nifty device packs a mean punch, boasting a fast 1.2GHz processor, impressive 7&#8243; display, HD playback, 8 gigabyte expandable storage and a 5 MP rear camera, fueled by the Ice Cream Sandwich Android OS and contained in a sleekly constructed aluminum body.</p>
<p>Here are the complete specs:<br />
<span id="more-855"></span><br />
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich<br />
7.0-inch IPS LCD Capacitive Touchscreen with 800 x 1280 pixel resolution<br />
Dual-core 1.2 GHz processor<br />
Adreno 220 GPU<br />
1GB RAM<br />
8GB internal memory (expandable to 32GB)<br />
5MP autofocus rear camera<br />
1.3MP front camera<br />
Video recording 720p @ 30fps<br />
HSUPA 5.76 Mbps. HSDPA 14.4 Mbps<br />
Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi hotspot<br />
Bluetooth v2.1, microUSB v2.0<br />
GPS, A-GPS support<br />
Li-Po 4100 mAh battery</p>
<p>Previously launched in the Philippines early this year, the MediaPad was initially sold at P21,990 under the Huawei brand.  Despite its nice set of features, I&#8217;d say it&#8217;s a pretty high price to pay for a tablet that belongs to a relatively unknown brand considering the competition that is already out there.  But after testing the Tattoo MediaPad for two weeks, I found myself using it more often than my Apple iPad due to its smaller size and portability.   Work-related tasks can be accomplished on this device without compromise and often cumbersomeness that I find on the iPad.</p>
<p>The great news is Globe Telecom is offering the Tattoo MediaPad at almost half the price at P10,990 (12mos. to pay at 0% interest) if you subscribe to their <a href="http://tattoo.globe.com.ph/product/personalized-plan">Tattoo Personalized Plan 999</a>.  This plan gives you fast unlimited browsing and a base speed of up to 7.2 mbps and a world of exclusive discounts and freebies from Globe.</p>
<p>To give you even better news, I&#8217;m giving away one (1) brand-new Tattoo MediaPad to my readers!  To join, please follow the mechanics:</p>
<p>1. Participant must be a resident of the Philippines.<br />
2. Participant must follow @ChooseTattoo and @aanddrreeww on Twitter<br />
3. To gain one (1) entry, participant must tweet why he/she needs the Tattoo MediaPad, plus the hashtag #TattooMediaPad and @aanddrreeww Ex. <em>I need the Tattoo MediaPad because it rocks! #TattooMediaPad @aanddrreeww</em> (please don&#8217;t copy paste the sample!)<br />
4. To instantly gain five (5) entries, participant must write one (1) blog post about the Tattoo MediaPad and state why he/she needs the Tattoo MediaPad, as well as post information on the device and how to buy it paired with a Globe Tattoo data plan. A link to this blog post is required to qualify.<br />
5. Each participant is limited to one (1) tweet and one (1) blog post, entitling him/her to a maximum of 6 entries.<br />
6. Winner will be randomly drawn after two weeks on November 19, 2012.</p>
<p>After creating your entries, please leave your complete name, email address and tweet/blog post URL in the comments.</p>
<p>Let the games begin!</p>
<p>UPDATE: Contest is closed. Winner will be announced soon!</p>
