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 have now two sites using the same database prefix i.e., not other than wp_ Now, the argument arises that if there are some known issues or defects for them being same. As if I install WordPress from Softaculous from cPanel then it doesn't generate the same prefix until we do it.

Hello Wordpress developers, I need advice from you. I need to host Wordpress site for a client and I decided to use recommended hosting providers like Blue Host, Site Ground and Namecheap. So what is recommended practice? Should a client register his account and buy hosting service with his own credit card and provide hosting/server/database access to me or I should register my personal account and pay hosting service with my card?

I am facing a big problem with my server. I have a website that keeps getting massive page requests coming from "Bing/Msn" bot every second or two and the ip changes now and then. Which is putting a heavy load on my server. My CPU is constantly over 90% I tried to block the bot from htaccess and robots.txt but they don't seem to have any effect. If anyone has an idea how to defeat this it would be much …

I've read almost all similar questions suggested related to multisites, cPanel, subdomains, etc. but have not found a solution for what I want to setup. I have a working WordPress site with ssl, WooCommerce, etc., hosted with cPanel. I've also some subdomains working with another applications and would like to setup a Multisite with subdomains. I've read I should add a * "wildcard" subdomain pointing to public_html and that it should be added at bottom of the list My questions …

Big mistake. I accidentally installed wordpress over an existing install. I know that my data is probably still in the database. I'm hosted on bluehost. What can I do to recover my instance?

I have a couple of sites on a shared hosting server. The sites load just fine, and everything appears to work, including local links. The only thing that isn't working is that the entire wp-admin directory is throwing a "too many redirects" error message. Here is what my redirects look like to handle the domain (this is the only non-standard part of this install): <configuration> <system.webServer> <rewrite> <rules> <rule name="Site 2 Redirect" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="^(.*)" /> <conditions> <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^blog\.site2\.com$" …

I'm building a site for a client. This site often takes a long time to load initially, but is rather fast when loading the next page because of WP Super Cache plugin. But still, the majority of people visiting a site for the first time will navigate away if the site doesn't load completely in < 3 seconds. So I'm having a bit of a problem here. We are considering a new hoster. The budget is limited, so we prefer …

I'm reaching a point where my clients are demanding robust hosting, but I have little experience of what to offer. I've always dealt with shared hosts like Hostgator, but now that I'm building more service-based sites and mission-critical sites like ecommerce sites, I'm realising that shared just doesn't cut the mustard. Moreoever, I'm developing a website for selling library music online, so I need to know what my options are / should be for hosting on a solid platform. I've …

We've recently moved from Fastcomet's Speedup plan (shared) to a more powerful one, VPS2 (also Fastcomet) because our disk space was running low. Prior to the migration, our website www.famagusta.news was blazing fast. The moment they moved us to a bigger plan, everything went downhill. After the migration was completed, we've noticed the slow speed right away. We didn't install new plugins or updates, nothing that could have caused the slow speed. The only change we did, was to point …

Inside my plugin I'm adding the Advanced Custom Fields files. Part of including it in the plugin is changing the default directories using dirname(__FILE__). In step 3, include_once works fine. So, ACF works, but without stylesheets or scripts, because in steps 1 and 2, I get the following for the stylesheets and scripts that ACF enques: http://example.com/templates/wp-starter/nfs/c05/h03/mnt/70376/domains/example.com/html/templates/wp-starter/wp-content/plugins/simple/acf/css/global.css?ver=5.0.0 This is what I would like to get: http://markrummel.com/templates/wp-starter/wp-content/plugins/simple/acf/css/global.css?ver=5.0.0. I am using Media Temple's grid server (shared hosting). Here is the relevent code …

As a highly concerned hosting company owner I am using WP-CLI to update plugins, themes and wp core of my clients. Updating WP-Core find /home/*/public_html -name "wp-admin" -execdir /home/wp core update --allow-root \; Updating Plugins find /home/*/public_html -name "wp-admin" -execdir /home/wp plugin update-all --allow-root \; Updating Themes find /home/*/public_html -name "wp-admin" -execdir /home/wp theme update-all --allow-root \; Everything is working extremely well, but I want just to change CACHE folder for WP-CLI since I do not want it to store …

I've got a WordPress site I built in a subfolder of an existing, active hosting account with another WordPress site in the main folder, per my client's instructions. Something like http://www.siteurl.com/NewSite/. The plan was to take a domain that was currently active on another hosting account and point it to that folder, so that instead of being active at http://www.siteurl.com/NewSite/, the site would be accessible at http://www.newsite.com. I had all my ducks in a row, pointed the DNS settings, and …

I have a production site 'domainA.com', which is a multi-site WordPress installation. I have another site 'domainB.com'. I want domainB.com to have exactly the same contents and configurations of domainA.com. This means that when something on domainA.com is updated, the change must be immediately reflected on domainB.com without having to do anything else. For example, I want to make a WooCommerce API call from domainB.com, and it must return the same content as if it were called from domainA.com. https://abc.domainB.com/wc-api/v3 …

I am using WordPress 4.8.2, and host is GoDaddy (shared hosting). I developed my client's new website under a sub-directory like so: http://www.example.com/_new/ I did this so that the old website continues to function under the main URL: http://www.example.com I now have to make my website live under this URL. To this end, I backed up the old website's files and directories in another folder, and then moved my own WP files and sub-directories under the main URL, so that …

While editing or writing a new post, sometimes I get redirected to the following address: https://www.examplesite.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https://www.examplesite.com/wp-admin/edit.php&reauth=1 Even though i wasn't navigating using https. We don't have an SSL certificate for our domain, so we get the following warning message: "There is a problem with this website’s security certificate." I have around 30 wordpress websites hosted on Hostinger, and all of them gives this issue. Any idea what causes it? I've seen a temporary solution might be adding $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']; …

I realize that this question is being asked in a very generic fashion, without detailed specifics of the configuration in question, and thus I am not expecting answers that go beyond anything but general guidance. With that, given a WordPress site that is: based on a typical "heavy" ("kitchen-sink included") theme, purchased via ThemeForest.net, and hosted on typical (entry-level, Linux-based) "cheap hosting," priced at under $10/month ... to what degree can one realistically expect that the use of properly-configured caching-plugins …

I know there are tons of places that offer wordpress hosting but what I am after is one where I dont need to do all the upgrades, patches, SQL admin etc. Basically I want it like wordpress.com where you create your blog and that's it. You blog and don't have to worry about the admin side. I don't mind paying. Why I want this? I am currently with wordpress.com but my site now has built up enough traffic that i …

I am interested in having a blog on my site which will be in a subdirectory of the main wordpress homepage e.g. website.com/blog however, I am interested to know if there is a way to host the blog on a separate server - primarily because I don't want to overload the server for the rest of the site if there is a lot of traffic going to the blog. I am keen on the idea of it being a subdirectory …

I'm searching for a solution to a architectural problem with an Wordpress application I've made. Each instance of the application is running on it's own subdomain (a folder on root) and right now, each of these instances have a complete copy of Wordpress, the theme and the plugins, and of cause their own database. My dream scenario is, that each subdomain instance share Wordpress, the theme files and plugins. The uploads and database (namely posts and users) are not shared …
