Google Sites’ update put me in a bad situation. I’m pretty busy as is, but the new Sites doesn’t fit my needs as well as I would like. Not to mention that the old Sites was slow and unresponsive. So I find myself in the position of moving a Google Sites-based site to my WordPress […]

WordFence New Functions and Errors
While trying to troubleshoot some JetPack issues today, I ran into a new WordFence issue. A couple, actually. Here are the problems and the solutions: WordFence does not cache WordPress anymore. They removed the Falcon cache. Use CloudFlare instead! Source The WordFence Firewall page pops up an error. You might see this error: We were […]
Desktop SQL Editor
The other day, I accidentally overwrote an older post. Luckily, I have daily backups running, so it wasn’t too hard to get a backup SQL file. But my backups are all SQL files, so I had to think hard about how to edit one. I first tried downloading all kinds of database editors that only […]
WordPress Themes

Well, apparently, WordPress supports iframes by default now. I updated an old post that needed an iframe, and spent a lot of time looking for plugins for it, but it turns out, that wasn’t necessary. Read more here.
WordPress and Special Characters
Starting from yesterday, I had a terrible time trying to figure out what was wrong with WordPress. I couldn’t login as my usual user, which uses a special character in the username. Actually, I got blocked by WordFence because it couldn’t read the special character and thought I was logging in using random names. I […]
WordPress, Hotlinking, and Cloudflare
I was wondering what happened to the sites I was running the other day. Why didn’t my images show up? I re/un/installed speed booster pack, some lazy image loader plugin, and whatnot. It took a long time. Then I realized that my images are loading off of my primary domain, not my “primary” domain–as I […]
