WordPress won’t update

Published by Jeremy on February 2, 2016

I’ve had issues with WordPress failing to update. After searching forever and manually updating myself for months, I found the problem. Check the /wp-contents/upgrade folder for any files. A previous failed upgrade to core, themes or plugins will stay there and silently cause WordPress to fail to update without any notices. Further more WordPress doesn’t …

Pastebin rewrote

Published by Jeremy on January 23, 2012

I have taken my original code I wrote for my SMF powered pastebin and rewrote this script. This was a massive rewrite from the original code and hopefully it works out well for anyone else who is looking into using it. I wrote it so it should be plugable with different databases, user information and …

SMF in WordPress

Published by Jeremy on January 21, 2012

For some reason, while using WordPress and including SMF’s SSI.php, it would not detect my logged in SMF session. Baffled and almost thinking this was a SMF bug of some sorts, I began to debug this process. Well it turns out it is sorta a SMF old PHP support issue, but the problem lies in …

Disabling php files in wordpress upload when using nginx

Published by Jeremy on November 22, 2010

This isn’t well documented anywhere for nginx. In fact it is sorta hidden and hard to find. Nginx does support a way for me to disable php from being executed in my uploads directory. The way I came across actually I am loving, as I am able to control how content is handled actually. This …

Nginx with wordpress seo urls

Published by Jeremy on November 21, 2010

I have been testing running my site with Nginx instead of Apache. One of the issues I have ran across is getting wordpress to work right since I use the SEO urls. Not that SEO urls make any difference, its a fun challenge to just work with. One issue I ran across is getting these …

Protecting my wordpress folders

Published by Jeremy on May 29, 2010

WordPress by default doesn’t protect its wp-includes and wp-content folders. While WordPress doesn’t do stupid things in most of these files, they still don’t do a simple defined check to ensure we came from an a privileged file. SMF does this and it prevents direct loading of any of the Source files. To get around …

Simple secure login for wordpress

Published by Jeremy on May 27, 2010

This is a simple way to setup a secure login for WordPress. Simply editing “wp-login.php” and looking for: /** Make sure that the WordPress bootstrap has run before continuing. */ require( dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/wp-load.php’ ); Add after that: force_ssl_admin(true); Now when accessing login and registration pages, the browser redirects to the secure version. Edit, After …
