Until recently I was providing autoblog plugin support for my Talian WordPress SEO theme on the Massive Passive Profits Autoblog WordPress plugin support forum, but the forum appears to have been deleted. Have hundreds of new Talian SEO theme users who bought the Massive Passive Profits Autoblog Plugin and bought (as of 2014 Talian is free) the Talian SEO Theme (recommended WordPress SEO theme for creating autoblogs by the plugin creator Bill McRea). Info below will also work with Massive Passive Profits Reloaded Autoblog Plugin as well. I’ve added autoblog plugin SEO support to the Stallion WordPress SEO Theme and Stallion Responsive WP Theme, see the Stallion Massive Passive Plugin support page for more details.

Massive Passive Profits : Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]
I recently purchased the Talian 05 theme (Massive Passive Profits recommended) and I think I messed up the files. Got this error message and I do not know where to start fixing it.
Could you please resend me the file again. I would like to make a copy and restart from the beginning. Thank you for your help!
Sincerely,

Massive Passive Profits : Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]
PHP Bug : Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]
The WordPress error you are receiving isn’t a Talian theme error per se, it appears to be an error that happens to some WordPress sites with different themes. I’ve had other customers (two others) with this problem and so far not been able to replicate it or find exactly what is causing it.
One customer found a partial fix but it’s not ideal as it’s hacking core WordPress files.
I did read for those using the Massive Passive Profits Autoblog Plugin if your sub-domains widgets don’t match your main sites widgets this can happen, but I’ve not been able to confirm this as not been able to replicate the problem to try to fix it (hard to try to fix an error you don’t have).
Searching through Google suggests it might be a PHP problem (possible PHP bug), maybe a particular version of PHP (one person with a similar error was running an early PHP 5.0 version which I’ve read wasn’t very good).
There are quite a lot of WordPress pages in Google with this error, many of them don’t show the error when you view them (meaning it was either a temporary issue or they fixed it) and it’s an issue with sites running many different WordPress themes (so not a Talian theme issue per se).
Right now stumped how to fix it.
Going to try removing the default widgets from the sidebars php files and if you’ve used the email address you ordered with for this comment I’ll email you a copy to test (assuming you haven’t fixed the problem as your site currently doesn’t show the error, did earlier).
If you did fix it, do you know what was the cause and how you fixed it?

Massive Passive Profits Autoblog Plugin Sub-domain Widgets
Thank you, David for your response. I think you may be correct as you stated below….
‘I did read for those using the Massive Passive Profits autoblog plugin if your sub-domains widgets don’t match your main sites widgets this can happen, but I’ve not been able to confirm this as not been able to replicate the problem to try to fix it (hard to try to fix an error you don’t have).’
I did mess around with the widgets and later saw the problem disappeared.
This email is the same one I used when I ordered the theme.
In the meantime, I’m going to use the same widgets for the sub domains.
Thank you,

How to Remove Default WordPress Widgets from a Theme
Thanks for the feedback on the widgets/sidebar error.
I have an idea to test for the next person with this error. As you’ve not got the error now, you shouldn’t bother trying it (no way to know if it worked).
The sidebar menu widgets are generated in two ways.
When you install WordPress and a theme (almost any theme that’s widgetized, some old ones aren’t) the sidebar.php file holds some default widgets (Talian also has left_sidebar.php as well for the left sidebar).
The number and type of widgets are set by the theme developer, I’ve added the basic widgets like categories, links etc…
These default widgets are hard coded into the sidebar template file(s) so when the theme is first installed the site has some menu items on the sidebar.
Doesn’t have to work this way, you could start with blank sidebars and the user would use the WordPress widget menu to add the widgets they want, but you can imagine to the average WordPress user they would believe the sites broken if they found no sidebars after installing a new theme :-)
When you go to the widgets menu under your Dashboard you’ll see the sidebar(s) are empty. When you drag and drop a widget into say sidebar 1, this one widget overrides the default hard coded widgets in the sidebar template file (it’s like they never existed to WordPress) and now that sidebar will only use widgets added via the widgets menu. The idea is users get to build a custom menu order rather than being limited by what the theme developer added to the sidebar template file(s).
What I want to try is removing the hard coded widgets from the sidebar template files to see if this removes the widgets error. I can’t test this as I haven’t been able to replicate the error (I’ve tested the changes below won’t break the theme).
You can make these changes either via the built in WordPress theme editor or offline in a text editor (must be a text editor like Notepad as programs like MS Word can break php code) and upload the edited files.
Note: make a backup of sidebar.php and left_sidebar.php in case things go wrong and you need to revert to the original files.
Offline load sidebar.php in a text editor and delete everything between these two lines of code:
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar(2) ) : ?>Delete all code here, but leave the line of code above and below.
Save the file and upload to the Talian theme folder using an FTP program like Filezilla.
Repeat with the similar code in the left_sidebar.php file:
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar(1) ) : ?>Delete all code here, but leave the line of code above and below.
Save the file and upload to the Talian theme folder using an FTP program like Filezilla.
If you've not used the WordPress widgets menu to add widgets you'll find your sidebars are now blank (everything else will work as before).
Do you still get the widget error?
Even if it doesn't work you can leave the files like this, go to the Widget menu and add the widgets you want on your two sidebars (you should add your own widgets anyway, gives you more control over what your site looks like).
To make these changes via the built in WordPress template editor, find the two files and remove the same code.
If it works I can add the edited sidebar.php and left_sidebar.php files with the theme for those with this error.

How to Build a WordPress Widget Template
Thank you, David, as always for your help!
I did make the changes to the sidebar.php and the left sidebar php; however, it did not help with the
initial issue. So I went back and made sure that all the widgets were the same as the main file and now everything worked.
Question: Is there a way to save a set of widgets as a template? I find myself manually adding the same widgets over and over again…so I am asking the experts :-)
Thanks again,

How to Build a WordPress Widget Template
WordPress Blog Template Plugin
Was worth a try, looks like it is a multisite/widget issue. When I get some time I’ll setup another WordPress multisite test blog and see if I can replicate the error and try to find a code fix.
You can build a site template using the Blog Template Plugin (it’s part of the Massive Passive Profits Autoblog Plugin setup).
The idea is you create a sub-domain with all the settings, plugins, widgets etc… you want on your autoblog sub-domains (don’t add content to the test sub-domain as that content will be added to your new autoblogs). Then create a blog Template from it with the blog Template plugin and use that template to generate your autoblogs without having to setup all the settings each time.
Not tested it myself, so not 100% sure how it works, but sounds a very useful WordPress plugin for multisite setups generally.

Out Of Memory Issues with Massive Passive Profits Autoblog Plugin Sites
Out Of Memory Issues with Massive Passive Profits Autoblog Plugin.
The solution to a WordPress plugin crashing a site is delete the WordPress plugin via FTP and check if the site works.
Basically log in via FTP (Filezilla, it’s free), go to /wp-content/plugins/ (on your site it’s at /home/site/public_html/wp-content/plugins/) and delete the folder of the plugin you think is causing the problem.
If you don’t have a copy of your plugins folder on your PC it’s a good idea to download all the folders first (make a backup of /wp-content/plugins/ folder) so you can upload them again (via FTP) if it turns out it wasn’t a plugin causing the problem.
Go to your home page and see what happens. If that doesn’t work also try www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin/ to try to login (sometimes the problem affects the template system, but not the admin part). If you can login without deleting a WordPress plugin go to plugins page under your Dashboard and disable the ones that might be the problem.
You might find it’s not the WordPress plugin you suspected that’s causing the problem, if you suspect it’s a plugin but not sure which one, delete them one by one and test the site.
If you get the site working go to your WordPress plugins page and you’ll have a notice about plugins being missing and removed. Reupload the deleted WordPress plugins one by one that’s not to blame and reactivate (you might loose some plugin settings).
You can try reuploading the problem plugin and change settings, if it’s the Massive Passive Profits plugin could be you have your campaigns set to post too much stuff in one go, multiple campaigns running at the same time (if campaign times overlap) reduce how often they post content.
It’s all down to how much your server/host can handle, how much memory you have, how good the CPU of the server/host is: you wouldn’t try to run the latest PC graphic intensive game on an old 486 PC from the 90s.
If you fix the issue consider install WP Super Cache plugin (it’s free), this can help reduce the load on your server making it less likely to crash if a plugin is a resource hog (autoblog plugins tend to need a lot of server resources while they grab and post content).
If you’ve gone with a really cheap hosting plan you might need an upgrade or reduce the number of sites running: a $5 a month host is going to STRUGLE with 300 sub-domains autoposting, but shouldn’t have a problem with a dozen with the right settings.
Not a Talian specific issue, but this can happen to anyone running an autoblog plugin if they try to achieve too much with limited server resources: basically take your time scaling up.

Using Talian 5 Theme with MPP Autoblog Plugin
David,
How can I add a new “tab” at the top of the page next to About and Sitemap? I’d like to make a “Home” link that will go back to my original static homepage.
Is there a quota for the Talian 05 script on how many posts it will make? I’ve had the posts completely stop on another website for a couple of days now and I’m using the MPP plugin in conjunction with yours.
Also (sorry for so many questions) when using Talian 05 and MPP, I’ve setup the left sidebar (on many of my websites)for amazon and the first page rarely shows anything from amazon. Is this normal?
I also want to say that your Talian 05 product is by far the easiest and best software I’ve used to date for my many websites… thank you for creating a uniquely great plugin and making my job much easier.
Regards,
Randy Nelson

Editing WordPress Theme Template Files
Are you wanting a main home page link from every sub-domain created by the Massive Passive Profits Plugin?
If so that currently requires editing the header.php file.
Find
and add below it:
Replacing http://www.domain.com/ with the URL to home and replace “Anchor Text” with something relevant to your main site.
Save, upload via FTP and there will be a link to whatever domain you linked to on the left hand side of the navigation menu. In the next Talian update (hoping to release early next year, but no firm date as working on a lot of new features) I’ve added the ability to paste any code there via the Talian options page, you’d be able to achieve the above without editing template files in combination with the Blog Template Plugin (used with the Massive Passive Profits Plugin) have it populated on all new sub-domains.
There’s no post quota with Talian (or any WordPress theme as far as I know), I’ve a recipe site with over 130,000 posts working well. As you might expect there are issues with having very large sites, but sounds like your issue is with the Massive Passive Profits Plugin running out of relevant content to post. If you’ve posted a really obscure niche keyword you’ll run out of Amazon products and articles to post quite quickly. When they run out (all campaigns run out eventually) will be based on what keywords you used.
On the site you’ve linked to the left sidebar is empty code wise. If you’ve dragged and dropped widgets on that sidebar (sidebar1) it suggests something has gone wrong. Have you edited the code of the left_sidebar.php file? Looks like it’s had it’s default widgets content removed (could be an error in the editing that’s broke the code).
If you aren’t familiar with widgets, under your Dashboard click “Appearance” >> “Widgets” and you can drag and drop menu items on that page to the two sidebars. You could add an Amazon ad as a text widget as well without having to edit the template files.

WordPress Broken Themes Error Message
David,
After inserting the code into the header.php file I have the new tab needed and it works great. I’m still playing with the sidebars in order to get the “look” I’m looking for.
One thing I’ve noticed after making many new websites is when installing either MPP or Talian 05 into the “Themes” area I get these comments:
1. The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
2. The active theme is broken. Reverting to the default theme.
3. Under “Broken Themes” Name Description…
wp-mpp Stylesheet is missing.
What I’ve been doing is deleting the install (ftp) and trying a new install until it get’s it installed correctly. Do you have any idea what is happening here?
Thanks for all your help,
Randy

Installing a WordPress Plugin as a WordPress Theme
The error sounds like you are installing the Massive Passive Profits Plugin into the themes folder at /wp-content/themes/
Plugins go in

If you mix them up you get the sort of error you are seeing.

WordPress Theme Shows Excerpts on Home Page
hi, just purchased. One thing I noticed is when I installed the Talian theme my pictures from the old them through amazon do not show up. I double checked the settings and everything is the same in the MP amazon settings. I tried sm, med and large pics with now luck. Everything else works fine, the pics from amazon are just not showing up. Thanks for the help. Mike

Check the “Full Posts and Videos/Images not Showing on Home Page While Using Talian” section in the article above, that’s if you are referring to images/videos not showing on the home and other archive pages, but fine on the full Posts.
If that’s not the issue I’ll need more info and a link to the site you are having problems on.

Massive Passive Profits Manage Campaigns
David,
Do you have any idea why the Massive Passive Profits campaigns (after creating a new campaign) would show/have 2 of the same exact campaigns (separate id numbers) listed in the “Manage Campaigns” area? This dosen’t always happen but it’s becoming more frequent.
Thanks,
Randy

No idea, not happened in my tests. Maybe an accidental double click of the create button?
