How to fix : Ajax.BeginForm doing full postback instead of partial.
I realised that in my MVC5 project in Visual Studio I could not get the Ajax.BeginForm to work properly. It will always do a full postback.
I was trying to complete a Video Rating Page, where there are buttons to rate a video and once the user presses one of the rating button, it should thank the user and display the new rating value. I wanted this to shown on the same page without reloading the page, So I considered using AJAX.BeginForm which will simply work fine.
In order to have this AJAX functionality you will have to download the AJAX from NUGET.
Step 1
Install the following two highlighted packages from NUGET. Click here to check how to load Packages from NUGET in Visual Studio
Step 2
Once you have installed the above two packages through NUGET then do the following.
Go to the _Layout file in your _shared folder in the Views. ( Note that I am using VB.NET but the example will work for C# also.
Open the _Layout.vbhtml file and browse to the bottom.
You will see the following two lines.
@Scripts.Render(“~/bundles/jquery”)
@Scripts.Render(“~/bundles/bootstrap”)
Now add the following line after the above two lines.
<script src=”~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js”></script>
I made a mistake of adding this script at the top of my page and my AJAX calls refused to work.
Then I realised that the AJAX has to be loaded after loading the jquery. So I added it at the last.
Step 3
Run your application.
Your AJAX Calls should work fine.

How to remove the Posted Date from the posts in WordPress
When you are using the WordPress to create new Posts it will usually add the Author Name and the Date on which the post was made.
There are various posts on the internet as to how to remove this.
The most simple method I have found through Editing the Content.PHP file and remove the following text from it.
See the pictures below for easier explanation. If you want to remove the Author name also then there will be another tag above it which will have the Author info, you can also delete that to get rid of the Author name.
Step 1
Step 2
One word of caution, if you change the Template of your WordPress site by using another Theme then you might have to repeat this step again.
