Uninstall Option for WordPress theme

Useful uninstall option “snippet” for your WordPress theme admin option. Basically, this reverts WordPress to the default theme and removes all theme settings from the database. Change option your_theme with your own:

global $wpdb;

delete_option('your_theme');
switch_theme('default', 'default');
wp_cache_flush();

wp_redirect('themes.php?activated=true');
exit();

WordPress Comment Form Skip Link

Skip link (or Skip Navigation link) for comment form is really important when your entry has a lot of comments. But there’s no point in having one when your comment form is just few pixel away after the entry.

This is how you can show the skip link if the comment reach n number of comments. Example below will make the skip link appear if 1) comment status is open 2) comment count is more and equal to 4.

Open your Theme’s comments.php file.
After (or anywhere you find suitable) paste these lines:
```
	Skip to comment form
```
Example:
```
 to “”

	Skip to comment form
```
Don't forget to style the codes to match your layout.
Finally, make sure that an element with ID attribute respond is added or assigned. For example:
```
Leave a Reply
```
Preferably right before the comment form.

Using named anchor () is outdated but still possible.

Remove blog from WordPress.com Blog Stats?

zeo — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 07:53:30 +0000

I got few self-hosted WordPress blog registered under my WordPress.com account in order to use WordPress.com Stats. Unfortunately, there are blogs that I accidentally added to this account and for that reason I would like to remove these blogs. The problem is how?

Deactivating WordPress.com Stats plugins from the blogs doesn’t help. Even with clearing the API key brings no luck. I guess doing it manually on your own won’t work. I’m trying to figure this one out without sending an email to the folks over at WordPress.com support.

Any ideas?

UPDATE: I’ve contacted WordPress.com support and they have removed the blog from my Dashboard WordPress.com stats list. But now, it seems that the blog can’t be added again after it was removed.
