Moving WordPress Without Plugins

Last Updated: 11 July 2016 By Mike Haydon

move Wordpress manually

When you have to move WordPress from one host to another, we recommend you use something like Backup Buddy or Duplicator. However, sometimes you get stuck without access to the WordPress admin area or something else happens and you have to backup manually. It’s very rare you’d need to do it, but a number of […]

Last Updated: 13 July 2014 By Mike Haydon

I had an issue today with a wordpress installation that I’ve seen a few times and finally figured out how to fix (it’s *facepalm* easy!) The Problem When I installed wordpress on an addon domain through Fantastico Deluxe in the Cpanel area of a Hostgator Hatchling account (try saying that 10 times fast!), the domain […]

Edit The Default WordPress RSS Widget

Last Updated: 13 July 2014 By Mike Haydon

Problem: I wanted to remove the link that the title of the default wordpress RSS widget automatically inserts. After many frustrating hours of searching and researching, I finally figured out the solution. Every other solution I could find through google was from an earlier, deprecated version of wordpress. Unfortunately, everywhere they tell you to look […]

Best WordPress Spam Filtering Plugin

Last Updated: 29 September 2016 By Mike Haydon

I stumbled across Janet Callaway’s 31 Outrageous Spam Comments post the other day and remembered all the struggles with blog spam that I’ve had over the years. Personally, I think the fabric to strengthen a blog against spam should be built into the structure of WordPress. But that’s not going to happen while the official […]

Optimize Your WordPress Site For Mobile

Last Updated: 29 September 2016 By Mike Haydon

I, like many people, browse the internet from my iphone. I spend most of my browsing time on my iphone, not on my desktop. So many websites display the same, regardless of whether they are viewed on a desktop or mobile. I believe this is a mistake. If you’ve never tried browsing the web on […]

WordPress Delete Post Revisions

Last Updated: 1 September 2015 By Mike Haydon

This is an issue only for larger blogs. If you’ve got less than 100 posts, you probably don’t need to worry about it at this stage. WordPress automatically saves a copy of your post every time you update it. If you’re like most people, some posts can have lots of versions before you’re happy with […]

Last Updated: 29 September 2016 By Mike Haydon

I wanted to have a page on my site say something like “Mike Haydon currently has xyz number of followers on Twitter” as a social proof that I have some idea when it comes to social media. The xyz needed to be regularly updated to reflect the current number. I figured php would be my […]

Last Updated: 29 September 2016 By Mike Haydon

Some time ago I did a post on how to use the WordPress Plugins Youtube Thumbnailer and WP Youtube together. Taking that one step further, what if you want to use your own thumnails for youtube videos, rather than the default ones? You can easily modify the Youtube Thumbnailer plugin to do this. You’ll need […]

Last Updated: 13 July 2014 By Mike Haydon

Have you ever wanted to upload pictures or other files to a non-standard area of your wordpress site, but aren’t familiar with FTP? FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol and is the standard way to upload files to your website. It’s the opposite of http (which you use in your web address – so this […]

Last Updated: 8 September 2016 By Mike Haydon

I use Wishlist Member for most of the membership sites I build. It’s the most stable platform within wordpress that I’ve found, with the most options. It’s been around for years (I posted this originally in 2013) and has a great developer community. There are tutorials for pretty much anything you want to do with […]
