6 Comments »This is an update to I Can’t Update WordPress!
After a very helpful response by commenter Jon from Moongrabber.com, I was finally able to update WordPress.
How did I do it?
As overlooked by my blasted stupidity, the built-in WordPress Updater was having conflicts with the WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin, resulting to an upgrade failure. By deactivating the WordPress Automatic plugin during the built-in WordPress update process, the conflict was resolved, therefore allowing a smooth update.
Thanks a ton, Jon!

BUT, you don’t have to pay the site owner to remove them, all you need is a good browser and a plugin to get rid of ‘em.
The answer — Firefox and AdBlock Plus.
Ever been annoyed by all those ads and banners on the internet that often take longer to download than everything else on the page? Install Adblock Plus now and get rid of them.
Right-click on a banner and choose “Adblock” from the context menu – the banner won’t be downloaded again. Maybe even replace parts of the banner address with star symbols to block similar banners as well. Or you select a filter subscription when Adblock Plus starts up the first time, then even this simple task will usually be unnecessary: the filter subscription will block most advertisements fully automatically.
After installing AdBlock plus on your Firefox, you won’t see any ads anywhere — unless you want to override the default settings and see the ads. To do that, click on the AdBlock plus icon on the upper-righthand side of the screen, and choose “Disable on <site name>”. Refresh the page, and you’ll see the ads again.
To block a specific image from appearing on your browser, right-click on it, and choose ‘AdBlock Image’. Simple. It’s pure genius!
