Back in USA
Hi Everyone. I’m back in the business!
I decided I will write about my trip the same day I was landed in USA but I was caught up checking 1,000 emails and work load.
It’s always great going back home and meeting your people. I enjoyed a lot this time in India. Hanging out with friends, family regroup, my grandmother and a lot! This year I relaxed a bit as well and some days were so busy. Kite Fastival, Uttarayana or Makarsakranti was too good. I fly kites after 2 years.

Wordpress: Automatically adjust for daylight saving time
I have been googling for this and (again) I had to come up with my own solution.
function my_set_gmt_offset($offset) {
global $wpdb;
/* Wordpress default sets to UTC timezone
in wp-settings.php.
you can change this line to whatever your timezone is.
I set it to my timezone (NY)
More: http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
*/
if(function_exists('date_default_timezone_set'))
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');
$timezone = date("T");
/* Now we have your local timezone stored in $timezone
so lets restore wordpress setting as in wp-settings.php */
if ( function_exists('date_default_timezone_set') )
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
$current_offset = $offset;
if($timezone == 'EDT') {
$offset = '-4';
}
else if($timezone == 'EST') {
$offset = '-5';
}
if($offset != $current_offset) {
/* update offset in database if new offset is different.
Do not use update_option since it will call
this filter again and cause infinite loop.
*/
$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE $wpdb->options
SET option_value = %s WHERE
option_name = %s", $offset, 'gmt_offset' ) );
/* let wordpress regenerate cache from database */
wp_cache_set('gmt_offset', 'checkthedatabaseplease', 'options');
}
return $offset;
}
add_filter('option_gmt_offset', 'my_set_gmt_offset');

Comments Pagination – Wordpress – Bug Fixed!
Actually, I did not create a plugin but I wrote a code snippet that did this job for me.
Add these lines to comments.php in your active theme folder.
$comments_per_page = 5;
global $post;
$total = $post->comment_count;
if($total > 0) {
$apage=isset($_GET['apage']) ? intval($_GET['apage']) : 1;
$comments=array_slice($comments, intval(($apage-1)*$comments_per_page),intval($comments_per_page));
}
Insert this code right after if ($comments) statement
$commentCounter = (($apage-1)*$comments_per_page);
$from_page = $commentCounter+1;
if($apage == 1) {
$to_page = $comments_per_page;
if($total < $to_page) {
$to_page = $total;
}
}
else {
$to_page = $from_page + $comments_per_page - 1;
if($to_page > $total) {
$to_page = $total;
}
}
Insert this line where you want page links to appear in comments.php.
<?php echo paginate_links( array(
'base' => add_query_arg( 'apage', '%#%#comments' ),
'format' => '',
'total' => ceil($total / intval($comments_per_page)),
'current' => $apage
));
I think this is it. It should work. Give it a try and share your feedback via comments.
