I saw this in an email titled Why You Must Avoid Nulled WordPress Themes & Plugins (9 Reasons). Now, I in my heyday did my share of downloading pirated stuff for use on my web page and other uses like music (remember Napster? Oh, I’m the old person here?) and software. Not so much anymore, for several… Continue Reading

Activated Shortcode use in comments
With much thanks to Aldo, the author of PRIVATE CONTENT SHORTCODE!
He posted in the support forum the answer to my question about using PRIVATE SHORTCODE in comments.
Simply add this line in the file functions.php of current theme:
Footer “Powered by” removed
I don’t know how or why the fu*k registrations evident from extraneous locations have started up ever since I made the domain point to this WP site (as opposed to the old PHP-Fusion site). Is it the “powered by WordPress” footer statement that is pinging on hacker radar?
Do WordPress sites get trash registrations by nature??
I haven’t stood up and run a WP blog site in quite a while, so I don’t know what the trend is among WordPress sites with respect to usership and the attraction of hackers and other potential troublemakers. But I’ve had this install up and running for a while now as I move content to it from the … Continue Reading
Enabled Blogroll Links Manager

WP Tags functionality

add_action('init', 'remove_tags');
function remove_tags(){
register_taxonomy('post_tag', array());
}
Why did I remove tags? Biggest reason is, and I know it’s… Continue Reading
Common WordPress Errors & Fixes
After happening to browse thru a site called MyThemeShop for WP themes, I got this email about common WP errors and fixes that’s on their site. I thought this may come in handy in the (near?) future as I fiddle more and more with this WP platform.
Added Categories as a Dropdown Menu
I found info on WPTAVERN about how to create a dropdown menu of blog categories without plugin or code. I guess I want to make the right sidebar less crowded.
See, this is the thing I enjoy more with WP than in my experiences with PHP-F. More people using WP and so more ideas, more how-to’s, etc.. And much more… Continue Reading
Disabled Revisions
I disabled post revisions following this WPBeginner page. I went into wp-config.php and added:
define('AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL', 300 ); // secondsdefine('WP_POST_REVISIONS', false );and then deleted all revisions from the database in PhPmyAdmin by running the query

I created a child theme for my chosen Orvis theme because I have to add some stuff into the functions.php to enable links manager (blogroll). For the child theme, I followed the guide in this page.
