Prevent password reset hacking on your WordPress blog

As I just said, a new security loophole has just been discovered and it allow anyone to be able to reset your blog admin password. The "hacker" will not get your password (it will be emailed to you) but this can be pretty annoying. Open the wp-login.php file (It is located in WordPress root directory) and go to line 190. You'll find this line: if (empty($key)) Simply replace it by the following and save the <p-login.php file: if(empty($key) || is_array($key)) For more info about the s... (more)

WordPress trick: Disable plugin stylesheet

WordPress trick: Disable plugin stylesheet

The first thing to do is to open the plugin file and find the code which include a plugin-specific stylesheet in the blog header. This function is called wp_enqueue_style(). For example, in case of the useful wp-pagenavi plugin, the code to find is: wp_enqueue_style('wp-pagenavi', get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/pagenavi-css.css', false, '2.50', 'all'); What we need to find is the handle. The handle is the first argument of the wp_enqueue_style() function, so in the previous example, wp-pagenavi ... (more)

Breadcrumbs in WordPress

http://jonnyboats.wordpress.com/ 359 days, 13 hours, 42 minutes ago

Breadcrumbs are such a standard design pattern these days I find it surprising there isn’t a build in WordPress function for displaying one. But no matter, that’s what plugins are for. A quick Google search brings up a couple. Yoast has one, so you know that one is pretty good. The other popular one is the NavXT plugin, which I actually used recently on a project and can fully vouch for it. Like about any other plugin, it’s as simple as downloading, uploading to your plugins folder, and activating i... (more)

Show Off Your WordPress Database Statistics

Did you know that WordPress makes it super-easy to display some basic statistics about your database performance? The information may be displayed publicly on your web page, slightly hidden in your source code, or entirely private so only you can see it. There are two basic statistics that are drop-dead easy to include on your pages:The number of database queries that your page is makingHow many seconds it took your server to complete those queries The number of database queries is generated from the fo...

Canonical URL's for WordPress - Yoast - Tweaking Websites

This plugin helps you solve duplicate content issues on your site. It's not the cure for all evil, but it will make it easier by preventing tagged URL's from being indexed. Suppose you have read my Twitter Analytics post, and you've started tagging all the URL's you spread on Twitter with Google Analytics campaign variables. So at some point, a search engine would enter your site through this URL: (more)

Getting More Fine-Grained with Includes

published 366 days, 13 hours, 26 minutes ago posted by

http://jonnyboats.wordpress.com/ 367 days, 9 hours, 40 minutes ago

I was recently putting together a site where I found it very useful to have a number of small areas of the site as separate chunks of code I could include in templates at will. The site wasn’t unusual at all, it just never occurred to me to get this fine-grained with includes before, but I’m starting to do it now and I like it. In my theme folder, I created a directory for “includes” which has a number of these little chunks of code: blogtitlearea.php On this particular site, WordPress is used to po... (more)

3 Ways to Monitor PHP Errors

published 367 days, 13 hours, 9 minutes ago posted by

http://jonnyboats.wordpress.com/ 368 days, 11 hours, 3 minutes ago

Close monitoring of your site’s PHP errors is crucial to operating a healthy, secure, and well-performing website. When left undetected, PHP errors can reduce performance, waste bandwidth, and leave your site vulnerable to malicious attack. PHP errors usually occur unpredictably and spontaneously, and may be triggered by even the slightest changes to your server configuration, database setup, or WordPress files. Even if your site appears to working properly on the surface, it may in fact be suffering fro... (more)

Ok, so the reason I cannot simply add a nice little picture next to my comments is simple. Unlike my own Wordpress site that has been abandoned, this page that I am an administrator of does not have a “gravatar box” on the profile page. It simply isnt there, much like I do not have a dashboard from which to track visitors, etc. It’s simply not an option. I can however change to diqus, or whatever it is called and maybe that will make setting up an avator possible since a wordpress gravator is not. On a... (more)

Anyway, sometimes you'll want to disable this feature from within your theme, or maybe even as a sitewide plugin to disable it all over your WordPress MU installation. It's pretty simple to do . . .

Commonly Useful Page Templates

I find on nearly every one of the many, many WordPress powered sites I take care of, I have at least a couple of special page templates that I set up and use frequently. No Title Sometimes it’s nice to have a page template available that doesn’t spit out the title at the top. I am an avid user of Wufoo forms, which inherently have their own titles. It can be awkward to have a page like “Contact Website” which has the regular page title at the top, then a Wufoo title right below it. It is possible to... (more)

Mastering WordPress Post-Revisioning and Auto-Save Features

Not everyone loves the post-revisioning feature of WordPress. In fact, some people can’t stand it. On the one hand, it’s nice to have a library of post-draft revisions to drudge through if you should ever make a mistake. On the other hand, multiple copies of every post is a great way to bloat your database with otherwise useless information. Then, to complicate matters, WordPress’ auto-save functionality seems to have a mind of its own, at times interfering in the revisioning process even when post-re... (more)

One of the things we're doing more and more of recently is building multilingual, multi domain corporate sites in WordPress. Doing that used to be a fair amount of work, but we've been able to make it a lot simpler lately. We start the process with a simple WordPress MU install, to which we then add the Multi Site Manager plugin, to be able to run multiple domains off of it. Now this is all pretty simple and straight forward. Now we used to have to build a theme in several languages, but we've recently ... (more)
