I want all the old stuff/files to be purged (There is no data on the website as of now). Can anyone help me for this? …

I have a WordPress site that's been running perfectly since 2016, and then suddenly started having "508 Resource Limit Is Reached" problems in mid-2019. According to Awstats on my hosting cPanel, all the hits were coming from a singe IP address and the page it has been asking for is /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php It's not a website that I would expect to suddenly have a huge increase in legitimate visits that would max out the resources, so I'm assuming it's a Spambot …

The website works perfect on my localhost. I used duplicator plugin to upload it on my web-host. Database connections are established since mywebsite.com/wp-admin works perfect. I can login the wordpress wp-admin panel and all the plugins, pages, posts are there and are editable. Also the permalink on the homepage shows as http://mywebsite.com But when I open my website I see an absolutely blank page. There is no code in inspect element or no errors in console log. Website can be …

I have an old website. I plan on not publishing it for a couple of years. I’ll need it in the future, but I don’t need it now. Therefore, I don’t need to pay for the hosting. I’m a complete beginner. Can you let me know how I can save the content somewhere and switch off the hosting, but keep my content safely? Thanks very much.

I've created a website with Wordpress and the site is under a wpstaging.com domain at the moment. I have my main domain name and hosting with an external hosting company - nothing has be set up on that yet. I would like to find out how to go about changing the wpstaging.com domain name to the one I've got with the hosting company and moving the website over to the new domain name without damaging the current website.

This is happening with a fresh, new WordPress install. But all you need to do is look at the crazy do_robots() function, which outputs the following... User-agent: * Disallow: /wp-admin/ Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php Sitemap: https://knowingart.com/wp-sitemap.xml Sending robots to "wp-admin" (by default) makes no sense: Why would I send random robots into my admin directory?! The admin directory is for me, and me alone. Robots/crawlers should not be in my admin directory doing anything. Why would I DOS attack myself by sending …

I'm making a WordPress plugin that works with sensitive data. So I need to store/retrieve date with a trusty encryption method. I did some searches among many php encryption wrapper classes, and finally found Defuse\Crypto as one of the best options. The class needs minimum PHP 5.4 and also uses openssl_ and hash_hmac What do you think? am I going to have problems with these requirements to have the plugin installed on users hosts? or shared hosting companies cover them …

I got a shared hosting plan with namecheap in which I'm hosting multiple domains. I want to use only one of this domains with wordpress. Can I just install Softaculous Wordpress on my cPanel with any worries. If yes, how can link the domain I want to wordpress? Will the other domains be affected by wordpress installation?

I'm developing this plugin that needs a way to check the status of the Wordpress installation What is the most reliable way to determine that? Any $_SERVER variables or anything that could differentiate between the two?

I've done a fair bit of searching and I see that WSOD is common upon changing your domain, however all the fixes I've gone through have not remedied my situation. My new domain is http://uncvrd.co (switching from affinityfm) however, when you follow the link, it only shows a white page. Here are the steps I've taken to attempt a fix: Went to hosting site (hostgator) and switched the primary domain to uncvrd.co In Wordpress settings, I changed the url to …

How can I write and privately host (?) a custom theme in such a way that it can be updated through the built-in Wordpress updater, for several sites that I own myself? I would like to use a site manager to control which sites are getting theme updates when, without having to log onto each site. The Git-uploader only seems to work if you manually navigate to each site's wp-admin area. Any ideas?

I made a custom theme on my local xampp server. Then I want to create my website. So I couldn't find a complete tutorial for installing custom theme to hosting server. So I have theme files. I saw cPanel can install wordpress. After installing Wordpress to hosting server with cPanel, should I upload my theme folder to wordpress themes folder in hosting server? Is that enough?

My client's IT person has thrown up a flag regarding their need to use MS Exchange Autodiscover service, and that potential issues may possibly arise (ie as a result of sharing the domain with the WordPress website). From my reading and discussions with the client's IT person, it should work without needing any additional steps - but may result in unwanted request handling (ie by WordPress), and even sever errors if just left for WordPress to figure out. Ideally I …

After installing a WordPress server on AWS using 'bitnami-wordpress-5.7.2' as the instance, now I am not able to change the default theme using the wp-admin. When I try to activate or live preview a theme, the default theme is displayed and no change is observed. What could be the issue?

SO, my client is using a managed WP hosting, which is why I can't install MSSQL drivers in his server. I am building a plugin for him to fetch some data from their office's MSSQL server. Now, I have built the plugin in my localhost by connecting directly using SQLSRV. But this plugin won't work on his site because I can't fetch the data without mssql driver. Can you please guide me through this issue? How can I fetch the …

If this is the wrong site for this, I apologize. I am not a Wordpress developer, but I have a small bit of WP experience. Does anyone know how I could view the file tree of a Wordpress site hosted on AWS? I am trying to migrate a Wordpress page for a non-profit from AWS to another hosting service. Unfortunately, AWS console is clogged with dozens (hundreds?) of non-descriptive product names, and something like viewing your hosted files is not …

I had started my wordpress site with the host SiteGround. Later I moved to another host. I now see that in my wp-config.php file the following settings are present near the end of the file: /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ /** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */ if ( !defined('ABSPATH') ) define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/'); /** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */ require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php'); # Disables all core updates. Added by SiteGround Autoupdate: …

I'm posting this as a community wiki because I'd like to get a collaboratively edited list of features for a high-end WordPress webhost. For example, if you are running a high-traffic WordPress-based site and/or a WordPress site that needs really hardened security what features would you love to see offered so that you don't have to implement everything that exceeds the most basic installation of WordPress core? Many of us know that WP Engine has just launched and it's the …
