Acrobat Reader All Tools

Also annoyed that it’s always opened and you have to close the ‘All Tools’ tab on the left in your window when you wish to read your PDF on a bit wider screen?
Well… Adobe actually has a setting for that.

Go to:
– menu – preferences
– tab ‘Documents’
– check ‘Remember last state of All tools pane when opening documents‘

Next, if you close the ‘All Tools’ tab, it will be remembered the next time you open a PDF again.
Have a nice day!

HP Scan and Capture

Love it when people try to get around barriers and find ways to still download removed apps. Just read this article.

The question:
“How to Get HP Scan and Capture Software/App”
I see that HP has retired the HP Scan and Capture app.  This was a fantastic app to use.  I cannot find it on the HP site or in the Microsoft Store.  In the Microsoft Store there is a link to download, but when you click it you get sent to a description of the app.
Does anyone either have a working link to this app or know how to get this app?  I know it is not supported but to me it works much better and easier then the scan software that comes with the drivers of the HP MFP units.

OceanWP v4.0 loses Google Fonts

Check this! All my OceanWP websites lost their default font and fell back to something Roman, so everything looked ugly! Basically all websites using OceanWP did no longer load their Google fonts after the update to version 4.0.

Solution: I had to manually enable the fonts again! How?
Go to WP Dashboard > Appearance > Customizer > Typography > Google Font Settings and enable Google Fonts – hit “publish” and done!

Looks like someone at OceanWP forgot to check backwards compatibility…

Have a nice day!

KB5043145 update breaks USB

DO NOT INSTALL THAT UPDATE!
(updated 12/10/2024 see at bottom of article)

At least on two of my computers, it completely disabled the USB ports, leaving me without mouse, keyboard, bluetooth and any way of giving any input to the computer to do anything.
Luckily I had Google Remote Desktop installed previously so I could take over the screen and fix the issue.

Not everyone, but others do have the same issue, see:

OceanWP and SVG images

Ever tried to enable the upload of SVG images in WordPress, and kept getting the error:
“Sorry, you are not allowed to upload this file type.” ?

So, you tried the plugins Safe-SVG, disabled Wordfence, disabled Solid Security, added a snippet with WPCode, changed your wp-config.php file, and maybe some other options you found on the Interweb?
Well, if you are using the OceanWP theme like I do, then nothing will work, except when you go to your OceanWP panel, select the ‘Integration’ tab on the left, slap your forehead with a flat stretched-out hand, and finally slide the switch on that page, all just to enable the SVG files support.

Next, of course, remove all those plugins, code snippets and other things you have added to your WordPress installation and continue with your life.

Have a nice day!
