Deactivating All WordPress Plugins Without WP-Admin Access

By The Editorial Team

On August 13, 2013

In Plugins, Tutorials

Surprisingly hundreds of times troubleshooting does not leads to give you proper results as one or more plugins have not deactivated and/or re-activated properly as it have to be. More the worst is it will leads you even towards get locked out you out of your own WordPress admin panel (basically an oops! Here) resulting in you can’t deactivate any of these plugins in an easy manner.

The condition makes you lead and think that what can possible be done in order to get the issue solved. In this article, we discussed the two possible methods with which you can disable all your plugins without worrying about WP-Admin access. If in case some problem comes between either by deactivating or got any further query, do revert us back via comment box below.

Using FTP

Login to your FTP panel or your host’s file manager
Once in, navigate to the /wp-content/folder where you will see a folder called plugins.
Rename the folder with some different name, say plugins_old.
Once you done with renaming, all of your plugins got deactivated all at once.
If problem are with your plugins, then doing the above will leads you get into your /wp-admin/ after login.
Once you done, go again back to your FTP panel and rename the plugins_old in your /wp-content/directory to plugins.
Now activate each of plugins one at a time and you are done.
Make sure, the problem which is behind the cause of problem, you do report to its author about the error.

Using phpMyAdmin

Once you are in your site’s phpMyAdmin, go to your WordPress database.
In your WordPress database, go in the wp_options table
Here locate the option name as “activate_plugins” and edit the value of that option and change it to a:0:{}

Although the second method – using phpMyAdmin is much easier as compared to first, but its good if you are not aware much of your cPanel or even deeper of your phpMyAdmin activities well, then it’s better to opt for using FTP method to deactivate all your WordPress plugins.

Things To Avoid As A WordPress Developer

By The Editorial Team

On July 1, 2013

In Tutorials

As a WordPress developer, one get hundreds of thousands of freedoms, but since everything comes with some cost. The same meant for WordPress development also. You as a WordPress developer can use as much as resources as the way you want, but also its very much important to avoid some of the things which not only take your development process down but also the time you invested in it also loose. In this article, I am highlighting five of major things that as a WordPress developer have to avoid (or at least try to that extent wherever possible).

Using “Admin” As A Username

Majority of WordPress blog admin having their username as “admin,” the five letter word sounds simple and easy but using “admin” as a username opens a lot of doors by which hacker can easily enter into your WordPress website. Moreover, if not hackers, then there are bots keep on looking for installations that let them allow exploiting them in a single go. Better always give you site a unique and strong admin username and password.

Relying A “Lot” On Shared Hosting

If you are using shared hosting, then its better don’t rely much on it as shared hosting is not the one which helps you much plus for longer term. As the traffic on your shared server increase to an extent, your site starts showing signs of slowness and with talking and emails to hosting provider, you will get nothing but waste of time. It is highly recommended that you better have your site running on either virtual private server or dedicated server. In case, if you think you can’t afford from either of VPS or dedicated server from the starting, then you can start with shared hosting but make sure with time better move your site to either of those options.

Avoid Using Excess Plugins Functionality To Your Theme’s Functions Core

Just think like this you are driving in a wrong way or you are driving in a lane which at the end creates a mess for you. Using not one, not two but many of different plugins functionality to your theme’s functions.php template will nothing but end in creating a huge problem for you. As it will turn out a nightmare for you (and even more if other developers also working with you) to troubleshoot conflicts and problems as soon as you upgrades. Better always create a “functionality plugin” whenever you wish to paste any of different function to your theme’s functions.php template.

Plugins, Plugins And Lots More Plugins

A simple day, plan for an outing and when reached at your outing destination, you found out that there 10x already out there. Make sure you don’t create the same condition for your site. Reason, incorporating a lot of third party will not only create hurdles for whole of your site’s functionality but also make an issue over your site’s loading speed. Always have limited things on board which you think would be highly required. For example, you are running a members site, then it does not means that you end up using multiple plugins for the same. Choose one, but it have to be the best one and worth you installing to your site.

How To Secure Your WordPress Blog In 6 Ways

By The Editorial Team

On May 25, 2013

In Tutorials

Started back in 2003 as a single bit of code to enhance the typography of everyday writing, WordPress now becomes the most popular and powerful Content Management System in the world. The web software used by millions of users globally, and in which the hosting of more than half of the blog itself. Not only this, but the popular brands are using the CMS too, including TechCrunch, Mashable, I2Mag, NBC and lots more.

This is huge and even getting bigger every instances passed by. Interesting and the best part while using the WordPress is that it takes mere two easy steps to install WordPress, yes the only two steps process. In order to keep the CMS work for you, today I will talk about what ways (by sharing tips and tricks) by which you can protect your WordPress blog. These tips and tricks will not only help you keeping your blog safe from hackers but also help in maintaining the much faster pace.

Do Not Use “Admin” As User

Starting with, once you have your WordPress blog in place, you do come up with “admin” as the login username. Thing to note here, avoid using “admin” at any cost as this is a common mistake which give a clear way for hackers to hack your website. What you have to do is as soon as you install WordPress, you need to create a new account and do use that one as default. Even, better as soon as you create a new account as an administrator; better delete the user “admin” as all the robots always looking out for it.

Increasing The Strength Of Your Password

Gone are those days when you can use the passwords like abc12345, xyz12345 and so on, reason with the way technology grows, breaching the authentication becomes much easier. It’s always been recommended to use strong passwords, including both small and capital letters, with numbers and different symbols which make your password much stronger. Even, in case if you don’t think of stronger password yourself, you can use the password generator software which helps you selecting the right one.

Update Regularly

Updating your WordPress website from time-to-time is very much important, as it keep your blog safe for a long run. Developers keep on working on to solve security issues, and in order to have your WordPress websites updated, new security release comes regularly. It takes hardly few seconds time to update your blog, resulting in helping your blog run better and be more compatible with different plug-ins. As soon as update will be available, you will get notified through your WordPress dashboard itself or you do also update it manually, but remember don’t download the update from any other website except WordPress.org.

Using .htaccess

By default .htaccess is available in your hosting folder. The .htaccess lets you blog different IPs which you believe would be security concerns for you. Even further, .htaccess will allow you to people from browsing your WordPress folder structure as well as let you hide XML sitemaps from search engine.

Protecting wp-config.php File

The time when you are installing the WordPress on server, you need to either create or edit the wp-config.php file. The fill will let you create and manage the database files of your blog. Just like .htaccess, the wp-config.php is one of the most important files you have with you, therefore it is also very much important to take measures to protect it out. Even, suggestive is to make it hide from the public, by adding this simple line of code:

<Files wp-config.php>

order allow, deny

deny from all

</Files>

The addition of this will prevents the file being seen by users as well as difficult to spot by hackers and robots.

Backup Your Whole Blog

Keeping a back up is a key stone to maintain a huge pace. You can back up your whole of blog either daily, once a week or a month, although it’s suggestive to do it at least once a day. You never know what things may come up your way and ruin your whole hard work in a one single go, so it is a good idea to have a back up regularly.
