(Quote) So... a Russian admin? Nice - I knew it! :)
-
(Quote) Live long and prosper. :)
-
(Quote) There are other things to consider. The less a person is knowledgeable, the more important these are: * The amount of "hand-holding" offered by the tech. support. * Reputation (marketing/advertising) - if people feel something is …
-
Some top class tech. support (and WP developer) guys from my country are hired by Kinsta and Cloudways. Not my cup of tea, but paying a bit more for a service one is happy with isn't completely insane. And it's not EIG, it is relatively decent host…
-
(Quote) Without such article, the whole Wiki wouldn't have any sense.
-
(Quote) WP started as an idiot-friendly tool. And then got pushed to be everything to everyone tool, and greatly influenced by the Automattic company (owned by one of the "founders"). Both these things have influenced some decisions that a…
-
Editing wp-config goes without saying. But for database - problem occurs even when importing/exporting database using the Terminal. mysqldump -p -u old_db_user old_database > database_export.sql and mysql -p -u new_db_user new_database < dat…
-
(Quote) And you assume that plugin coders who haven't been caught with blunders are more responsible? :) I understand that, but aren't that optimistic. It's all bullshit, and surprisingly chaotic for all I can tell ("fake it 'till you make it&…
-
(Quote) If you look hard enough, I don't think you will find a plugin (or theme, or WP version) that hasn't had at least some vulnerabilities sometime. The more popular it is, the more likely it is to have their vulnerabilities figured out. The goo…
-
(Quote) Thanks - just to confirm: this works even when changing domains?
-
(Quote) I'd like to be able to do it myself - quickly, and as conveniently as possible. For when I need it. With Softaculous not working on both MyW.pt (DirectAdmin), and HostMantis (cPanel) - suppose my options are either a plugin, or WP CLI. But …
-
(Quote) Passwords are stored in hash in the database. And - Easy WP SMTP plugin does encrypt your email password. So both @jarland and I can sleep peacefully. :)
-
(Quote) I just got a notification: "You are doing a cloning / domain change (you idiot!), so pay some moneys for our migration add-on tool, or it won't work." And it didn't. ~~But what does work is this: On the destination server: 1. Cr…
-
(Quote) Still requires a "manual" DB search/replace. Which beats the point of using a plugin IMO - since that's the very thing I was trying to avoid - since it doesn't seem to "get" everything. 99.99%, but not everything.
-
(Quote) Even if domain is changed? Like dev.x.com to www.x.com?
-
(Quote) Can it clone a site from dev.example.com on server one, to www.example.com on server two?
-
Thanks. Though, AIO WP Migration has a very shady pricing policy. The only way I could find a price was by first installing the plugin, and then it would take me to the site page with prices (still unclear - what is the difference between my own si…
-
Well, Softaculous has been refusing to work today. Not sure if it is software, or firewall related. While I'm waiting to see if tech. support can do anything, just to ask: what plugin for WP website migration would you recommend? I've got a few dev…

Enforcing the use of external image sources for forum images can save a huge amount of space in the long run. Storage may be cheap, but there's no amount of memory that human stupidity can't fill up, so I'm thinking like 10 years from now. With all …

Use Serbian made, world class tool for tracking the time needed: :) https://clockify.me/ (not my project, not selling it, but can recommend it)
-
(Quote) I think that reseller hosting greatly reduces the probability of one site's hack/virus being spread to the other websites - if you do everything right. Which saves you hassle after it has happened (and it always happens, sooner, or later). …
-
If it's becoming a burden to you - then you need mods/admins. If not - then you don't. It's as simple as that. I don't see a problem with sharing my email with a regular forum member. Even the dicks like @Ympker @Chievo and, last, but not the lea…

(Quote) "Membership privacy policy is just like our 'members': beautiful, and short!"
-
I completely understand and sympathize with you. And it's been rather educational reading what it looks like "in the EU" (here they are just urging us to comply with those laws, since our government just translates EU laws with a 5-10 year…
-
(Quote) The older I get, the happier I am for not being a part of the EU. :) It is getting ridiculous. All with "good intentions". Suppose every website using Cloudflare (as more than just DNS) is not GDPR compliant - technically. But I …
-
(Quote) For mobile: no TOC, very short pages, with a separate paragraph for each sentence. At least that's what I see as a trend nowadays. And many people say they prefer it (I think it sucks, but wouldn't use myself as a gude for what's in).
-
(Quote) I love TOCs. For both websites, and books. Forgot: I add chapter list within 99% of my articles, but I do that "manually" (don't want to use a plugin for that, but there are, if you like, I can check on that too - found one that wo…
-
(Quote) Good reminder to update my plugins list page. :) This was created using List category posts plugin (free): https://wordpress.org/plugins/list-category-posts/ This, on the other hand: https://bike.bikegremlin.com/reviews/tools/ is a page, …
-
(Quote) GDPR is a nightmare (and bullshit) IMO. :(
-
(Quote) I'm having problems when importing a (developed) website from MyW to HostMantis. Server just blocks the connection. Similar problems with some WP management plugins. Couldn't pinpoint the problem, but it exists. :( Just installing WP works…
-
(Quote) Smaller reseller account got a hike from 20 $ to 50 $ in 2019, and now to 200 $. However, storage space got up from 25 to 50 GB - which doesn't change a thing for me, but it's only fair to say. :) Still early to make any plans (suppose I'l…
-
My renewal price went from 100 to 600 dollars. :)
-
(Quote) Makes sense - I see how it might be tricky if you offered no email whatsoever. Haven't used (found) a shared host that doesn't offer emails, but if there was such - suppose it might make things more complicated. Having said that - I (would)…
-
(Quote) In the past I've used "terminal" from cPanel. Some providers offer that. I'ts not SSH, but it works wonderfully for DB migrations. Likewise, control panels have their own file managers, so any file copy/move on the server is done l…
-
(Quote) Suppose a caching plugin that works with Redis is the sensible option. LiteSpeed is such, there may be others.
-
(Quote) I have several (stupid) questions: How does the python script get automatically run? Can it be configured on a (shared) hosting server? If one uses Cloudflare caching, then B2 charges are not very likely to affect them?
