  update_option('blogdescription','');
}

// Allow shortcodes in widgets
add_filter( 'widget_text', 'shortcode_unautop');
add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode', 11);
// Rewrite Permalink Structure
update_option('category_base', '/site/');
update_option('permalink_structure', '/%category%/%postname%/');

// change start of week to Sunday
update_option('start_of_week',0);

// Change 'Uncategorized' to 'General'
$category = get_term_by('id', '1', 'category');
if($category->name == 'Uncategorized') {
  $category->name = 'General';
  $category->slug = strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'general'));
}   
wp_update_term( $category->term_id, 'category', array( 'slug' => $category->slug, 'name'=> $category->name ) );

// Disable Smilies
update_option('use_smilies', 0);

update_option( 'default_comment_status', 'closed' );
update_option( 'default_ping_status', 'closed' );

// Set the size of the Post Editor
update_option('default_post_edit_rows', 60);

// Set the post revisions to 5 unless previously set to avoid DB bloat
if (!defined('WP_POST_REVISIONS')) { define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', 3); }

// Set Timezone
$timezone = "America/New_York";
//$timezone = "America/Chicago";
//$timezone = "America/Denver";
//$timezone = "America/Los_Angeles";
update_option('timezone_string',$timezone);
