WordPress error "Could Not Save Password Reset Key To Database" - Fix it Now ?
This article covers methods to resolve WordPress error "Could Not Save Password Reset Key To Database" which usually occurs when we try to login into our WordPress site.
As the database is part of the hosting space, you'll get that database error when you fill-up the entire available disk space of your account.
That can happen if you created several staging sites or uploaded too many large files like big images on your website.
A more common reason for this WordPress issue can be substantial backup files created by your backup plugin.
Backup files need a lot of space on your system, which can quickly fill up the entire available webspace.
1. So to fix this WordPress error, immediately log in to your website using an FTP client like the Filezilla program or the File Manager in your cPanel hosting dashboard.
2. Then go to the media folder wp-content/uploads and check there for large files which you can delete, for instance, backup files with the ending .*zip or large media files with the file extension *.tiff, *.png, or *.png.
3. You should never use the *.tiff format, though. This one uses a lot of disk space, so it's better to use *.jpg instead of that.
4. After, open your WordPress website, log in, or use the password reset function again.
To fix this WordPress error in cPanel:
1. You'll need to free up space on your server.
2. Log into the HostPapa Dashboard and click My cPanel.
3. Then select Files > cPanel File Manager.
4. Navigate to your WordPress root folder and select wp-content/uploads.
5. Search through your upload files to locate and delete large files that you may no longer need.
6. Click the Size link to sort the list by file size.
7. Take a look elsewhere on the server for files and folders you are happy to delete.
8. Once you've created some space on your server, you can attempt to log into WordPress once again.

Mapped Network Drives Not Showing in Elevated Programs
This article covers methods to fix 'Mapped Network Drives Not Showing in Elevated Programs' issue for our customers.
When UAC is enabled, the system creates two logon sessions at user logon. Both logon sessions are linked to one another.
One session represents the user during an elevated session, and the other session where you run under least user rights.
When drive mappings are created, the system creates symbolic link objects (DosDevices) that associate the drive letters to the UNC paths.
These objects are specific for a logon session and are not shared between logon sessions.
When the UAC policy is configured to Prompt for credentials, a new logon session is created in addition to the existing two linked logon sessions.
To resolve this Windows issue:
1. In Local Group Policy Editor, locate the following Group Policy path:
Local Computer Policy\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options
2. Configure the following policy to Prompt for consent: User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode
Note:
The EnableLinkedConnections registry entry forces the symbolic links to be written to both linked logon sessions that are created, when UAC is enabled.
Shrink VMDK Virtual Disk Size on VMWare ESXi - Do it Now ?
This article covers how to shrink VMDK Virtual Disk Size on VMWare ESXi.
By default, VMware creates "growable" disks that grow larger in size as you add data.
Unfortunately, they don't automatically shrink when you remove data.
You'll need to clean up or compact your disks to actually free up space on your hard drive.
VMware Workstation also allows you to create snapshots, which contain a complete "snapshot" of a virtual machine's state at the point in time you created them.
These can take a lot of space if the virtual machine has changed significantly since then.
You can free up additional space by deleting snapshots you no longer need.
1. To view the snapshots for a virtual machine, select the virtual machine in VMware Workstation and click VM > Snapshot > Snapshot Manager.
2. To delete a snapshot you no longer need, right-click it in the Snapshot Manager window and select "Delete". It will be removed from your computer.
3. You won't be able to restore your virtual machine to that previous point in time after deleting the snapshot, of course.
Before we try to shrink the virtual disk files, we should try to remove any unneeded files from the virtual machine to free space.
For example, on Debian-based VMs, you can run:
$ apt-get clean
To clear out the local repository of retrieved package files.
Next, run the command below to fill the unused space with zeros:
cat /dev/zero > zero.fill;sync;sleep 1;sync;rm -f zero.fill
Free Disk Space In VMware Workstation
In VMware Workstation, first power off the virtual machine you want to compact. You can't complete this process if it's powered on or suspended.
1. Select the virtual machine you want to compact in the main window and click VM > Manage > Clean Up Disks.
2. The tool will analyze the selected virtual machine's disk and show you how much space you can reclaim.
To reclaim the space, click "Clean up now".
If no space can be freed, you'll see a "Cleanup is not necessary" message here instead.
