Changing the Template of your blog

Today I was bit busy changing the Template of my Blog. I had some problems with my last template. Some plugins were not working and was giving me some trouble. The video posts were not showing up on Internet Explorer. The other problem with the tabber that I has having on my last template. When I activate some plugins, the tabber does not work.

Checklist after Updating your Template

Check If all the plugins are working fine - For some plugins we need to call them inside the template and when we change the template, these plugins will not work.

Check with all popular Browser - Check if your site is working as expected at least on Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Update tracking codes - If you are running an affiliate program or some campaigns, then you will be using some tracking code in your template, make sure you add those codes to your template. I usually create a separate file for this and just add the include function with the right path. If you are using Google Analytics, again you should have to add the tracking code to your template

Update your Adsense Code - Suppose you are using Google Adsense and the new template is having a different color, then you should update your Adsense code. You do not need to make any modification in your code here, but just login to your Adsense account and update in the Adsense setup by editing the right saved ad.

There are many things to be updated when you change your template if you have customized your WordPress installation.
