File Manager missing for Managed WordPress Hosting on GoDaddy

If you’re used to the classic web hosting on GoDaddy and suddenly find yourself managing a site with WordPress hosting, you may be wondering how to get to the “file manager” so you can look at the files. Well, fear not. Rather than using file manager, just connect to the files with FileZilla (free software) using your site’s SFTP settings.

Voila! Back in business. Now go make a child theme.

When the AnkhSVN pending changes window is missing

I installed AnkhSVN fresh on a new VM and the pending changes window was missing. I looked everywhere to try to get it to show up in Visual Studio. Finally, I found this article. I just needed to make AnkhSVN the current source control plug-in. Such a simple fix. Those are the best kinds:

Hierarchical table sorting with a parent-child relationship

This code snippet works beautifully. Just replace the table/field names like so: 

  • AccountID with ID of your child record
  • name with name of your child record
  • parentID with the parent ID of of your child record
  • @tbl_accounts with the name of your hierarchical table

Run and done:

with cte as
(
select
    Accountid,
    name,
    parentid,
    cast(row_number()over(partition by parentid order by name) as varchar(max)) as [path]
from @tbl_accounts
where parentid = 0
union all
select
    t.AccountID,
    t.name,
    t.ParentID,
    [path] + cast(row_number()over(partition by t.parentid order by t.name) as varchar(max))
from
30.    cte
join @tbl_accounts t on cte.AccountID = t.ParentID
)
 
select 
    Accountid,
    name,
    ParentID,
    [path]
from cte
order by path

 

Thanks, Kev Riley!
