1 year ago To get information about your server, you can use the phpinfo() function:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>The info.php file returns a page outlining the details of your PHP installation. You can see if mod_rewrite is loaded. Under the apache header, look in the Loaded Modules section and see if mod_rewiite is listed.
See:
This is a limitation of the way PHP is set up on your server. If you previously used Movable Type, Perl was probably set up with suexec so Movable Type executed as your user. In this case, PHP is running as the web server user, which is why it has to be at least 444. There is phpsuexec but it seems many hosts don’t use it.
However this is often not an issue on modern shared hosts because even though the file is “World” readable each account is set up with a “jailshell” which keeps people locked in their home directory, and PHP can be easily modified with an open_basedir restriction to keep people from writing PHP scripts to read your files. If you are really concerned, you should contact your host to see what measures they are taking.
By default, WordPress reroutes a registered user to the Administration Screens after they log into the blog. To change the page, there are WordPress Plugins that can handle the redirect, or you can set the Theme function to handle it. See wp_login_url.
See:
You can use your .htaccess file to protect images from being hot linked, or, in other words, being linked-to from other websites. This can be a drain on your bandwidth, because if someone links directly to the image on your site, then you lose the bandwidth.

Comment flooding is when a lot of comments (probably spam) are posted to your website in a very short duration of time. This is only one aspect of the broader problem of comment spam in general, but it can quickly overwhelm a moderator’s ability to manually delete the offending comments.
WordPress manages the worst floods automatically by default. Any commenters from the same IP or e-mail address (other than registered users with manage_options capabilities) that post within 15 seconds of their last comment gets their comment discarded. The time setting can be changed by a number of plugins that extend this functionality. You might also consider one of the many broader spam blocking plugins, such as Akismet, or even turning your comment system over to Disqus.
You could also just change the time setting by inserting the following filter into functions.php of your current theme. Or you may create and install a very basic plugin and insert the following code:
function dam_the_flood( $dam_it, $time_last, $time_new ) {
if ( ($time_new - $time_last) < 300 ) // time interval is 300
return true; // seconds
return false;
}
add_filter('comment_flood_filter', 'dam_the_flood', 10, 3);Creating plugins can be very easy, the above code actually has most of the work done for you.

Creating a Static Front Page This is the example Page Template if you want to display one latest post, instead of the Page content, on your static front page.
<?php
/*
Template Name: MyFront
*/
get_header(); ?>
<div id="primary" class="content-area">
<main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">
<?php
$args = array('posts_per_page' => 1, 'cat' => 1);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
// The Loop
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();
get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );
// End the loop.
endwhile;
?>
</main><!-- .site-main -->
</div><!-- .content-area -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>See also:

In Twenty Fifteen theme, the post’s multiple categories are displayed with commas between them. To configure the way the categories display,
Create a Child Themes of Twenty Fifteen theme. Copy twentyfifteen_entry_meta() function from parent’s inc/template-tags.php to child theme’s functions.php.
function twentyfifteen_entry_meta() {
if ( is_sticky() && is_home() && ! is_paged() ) {
:
}
}Replace ‘, ‘ in the argument of get_the_category_list call in twentyfifteen_entry_meta() function.
$categories_list = get_the_category_list( _x( ', ', 'Used between list items, there is a space after the comma.', 'twentyfifteen' ) );If you change it by ‘ > ‘, ‘ • ‘ or ‘ | ‘ then you will see an arrow, a bullet or “pipe” (|) between the categories.
Activate the child theme.
Alternatively, you could run this MySQL query from the command line on a shell account or using phpMyAdmin, or through a wp-cli wp db query:
UPDATE wp_posts SET ping_status = 'closed';Open the below page from your Browser
http://(site URL)/wp-admin/options.phpRefer upload_url_path option value.
If the value is blank, then the directory wp-content/upload is the default destination to save.
NOTE: I'm pretty sure there's a function for getting upload path. Regardless, this shouldn't be advice for end user.
Just simply create a file to reside at wp-content/db-error.php, and in that file put the message you want displayed to users when WordPress determines the database connection is not available. That file will be used in place of “Error establishing database connection” message. You could even use the db-error.php to redirect users elsewhere. Here’s an example for db-error.php:
<?php
echo '<h2> This site is currently experiencing a problem with the database server.</h2> Press your browser Reload button to try again!';
?>See Using Permalinks Without mod rewrite
See Template Tags
Put this inside the section of your Theme’s template header.php file:
<base target="_blank" />See:

1 year ago A major release of WordPress happens every 6 months or so. Suggest and vote on ideas for future releases at the WordPress Extend Ideas site.
Also refer WordPress Versions for the chronologically listed versions of WordPress along with the Change Log information on new features and improvements in each version. There are the future releases and links to their respective milestones in the bug tracker.
If there is no Page Template option when writing or editing a Page it may because there is no template file with the proper structure. For the Page Template box to be available to assign to a Page there must be a least one template file in your theme that has a structure at the beginning of the template file that looks like this:
<?php
/*
Template Name: My Custom Page
*/
?>Create a new PHP file with any name under the theme directory and put above codes into the file. You will see the Page Template box appears that includes “My Custom Page” option in the Page Edit Screen. For more detail about Custom Page Template, refer Page Templates.
NOTE: The code part should be deleted, as well as everything after the first sentence.
Screenshot needs to be updated and remove everything after it.
Check if the content is still valid. Needs screenshots.
We shouldn't advise hacky solutions. Username is not meant to be changed. Let's not point end users to change it in database. The proper advice here would be to create a new user with desired username, log in with this user and delete the other one.

This should be a more end-user-friendly explanation without links to anywhere. Or removed completely.
