Paiement à la livraison
Purpose of the project is to upgrade a busy WordPress blog from version 1.5.2 to 2.8.3. Several important conditions apply:
IMPORTANT: Currently, most photos on the site are accessed via the **Photopress** PlugIn (version 0.8.4). Coder will need to upgrade Photopress so that all photos display properly after the upgrade. If this is impossible, then any Photopress links in current posts will need to be edited to direct links. All existing photos must display properly after the upgrade.
There are about 490 posts on the blog.
Coder to demonstrate working upgrade on a test site provided by coder before upgrading the live site. If preferred, Buyer can provide a test environment that should be relatively similar to the current server. The objective is to verify that all photos and other features are working properly and to minimize downtime of the live site.
## Deliverables
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.
In this case, the primary deliverable is the upgraded blog, with all photos displaying and features working, on the live server.
In addition to Photopress, other plugins installed are TweetThis, Add To Facebook, Anti-Spam Image, and Canonical URLs. Coder must upgrade these if needed for compatibility with WP 2.8.3
Mint traffic tracking is also running on the site, but should not be affected by the upgrade except to incorporate the javascript.
Template changes:
These may not be affected by the upgrade, but several code elements need to be present in the final site:
- Google Analytics, Google Adsense, and Mint javascripts
- Social links under each post
All of this is present on the current site in the current theme.
It is the coder's responsibility to export and download the database(s) needed for testing and backup. Coder to place backups of the databases in the document root folder so that buyer can FTP.
A full backup of the site, including files and databases, should be made before upgrading the live site. If the live site upgrade cannot be made to work in 60 minutes, then it should be restored to original condition while the problems are identified and solutions implmented.
Live site URL will be provided to serious bidders upon request.
Note that coder must demonstrate the working upgrade in a test environment prior to initiating any changes to the lives site.
2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment.
3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement).
## Platform
This is a Linux VPS environment with a custom (Westhost) control panel management system.
Current blog version is Wordpress 1.5.2 and Photopress 0.8.4.
Coder may need to verify versions of PHP and MySQL and upgrade if needed for compatibility.
