How do I hide the URLs for my WordPress images?
The reason why I want to hide them is because during the installation of WordPress 4.0 using WAMPServer, I followed several recommendations to help make WP more secure. One of these recommendations was to set a different Site Address and WP address (Settings -> General). For example:
WordPress Address (URL): hxxp://samoca.org/here
Site Address (URL): hxxp://samoca.org/
This works fine to disguise the folder containing my WP site. However, when I hover over an image on the site, it displays the true URL. For example:
hxxp://samoca.org/here/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/myimage.jpg
I tried setting the Attachment Display Settings to none but I'm still able to retrieve the URL by right-clicking on the image.
Being able to display the true image URL defeats the purpose of having different WordPress Address & Site Address. Any suggestions as to how to hide image URLs will be helpful. Thanks
If your purpose to hide that you're using Wordpress by hiding the path, you may try this one http://benword.com/how-to-hide-that-youre-using-wordpress/
You could try to use a plugin to do this.

The website it's not mine, I've been doing some SEO work for a client and his website turned into this out of nowhere. Of course, the heat is on me and the client is asking like crazy to me to resolve. I'm not at all expert with wordpress and was just editing texts for his website, so I'm pretty sure that I didn't messed up anything.
However I need to fix this.
Can you guys help me with? It's suposed to look be acessable as www.
Please change WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) from wordpress admin settings. Go to Settings > General Settings and set www in WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL).
I think this is happening due to WP Rocket plugin.

Can you once deactivate WP Rocket plugin and then check
I have a website built with Wordpress that has been having permalink issues. A few days ago, I had added a simple file, named qr.php, that I dropped in at the root level (where the wp-content and wp-upload folders reside). It has a script that redirect to pages outside of my website depending on what type of device the user is using. Basically, some one on a Apple device gets redirected to an itunes page, and droid user to the droid app store, etc.
Could this non Wordpress page be causing issues? I have had static or html pages in amonst my root level files before, and never had an issue. I feel like the redirects may change this.
Rather than using the qr.php(cutom redirect file) in your wordpress site. You can use a plugin which will help to redirect the external links.
Some of the plugins which might help you to achieve your purpose are Device Redirect - WordPress Phone &Tablet Redirect , RedirectPlus - Wordpress Mobile Redirect Plugin.
See the screenshots, try demo and check whether it fits your requirement.
No, it dont cause any issue with permalink..
I am also using a wordpress website : abc.com and a php based software integrated to admin folder on root.. And I can access easily abc.com and abc.com/newfolder/abc.php
I have a wordpress installation on a wp folder.
I need my clients write
www.example.com
in the browser, and the page
'about'
to be displayed, preserving the www.example.com address, not showing the www.example.com/wp/about/ address.
Which are the proper way to do this?.
You can assign it by go to setting -> Reading and choose the page you want to display at Front page displays. You can choose either page or posts.
Just update WordPress.
This bug is not present in current versions...
EDIT:
Yeah, so this problem is really unsolvable. Yahoo prevents access to .htaccess, even from WordPress itself trying to change it. I had to settle for writing a script on the default homepage that redirects browsers to "www.abc.com/index.php" if they go straight to "www.abc.com". You always have to deal with "index.php" being in the address bar but it's better than not having permalinks...
/EDIT
Yahoo! Small Business hosting seems specifically engineered to make WordPress difficult-- but it's my client's host and there's not much I can do about it. I'm trying to move WordPress into the root directory, and I'm sooo close to having it done.
I've read and read and read about how to get the Permalinks to work right, and since Yahoo! hosting doesn't let you modify htaccess I am pretty much up s*** creek. I'm using the simple permalink structure of "/%postname%/", which once I moved to the root, stopped working. I have changed it to "/index.php/%postname%/", which allows you to see the pages if you manually type in index.php before the page name or if you are logged into the admin area and "View Page". Also, the correct permalink shows on all of the pages in the editor.
However, WordPress doesn't let you change the permalink of the static page you use as the front page.
Long story short, if I go to "www.abc.com/index.php", the links in the menu all work fine. However, if I just got to "www.abc.com", the links don't pick up the "index.php" from the permalink structure. I need to fix this, so if anyone knows how to either:
Change the permalink of the static front page
Fix something in the database if I install PhpMyAdmin
Work around not having access to .htaccess
Put a small script somewhere on the index page to append "index.php" to the url
Any other suggestions
It seems it would work if I was NOT using a static front page but rather the blog, but this isn't an option. I've tried changing the "Tag base" setting to no avail, as well as deactivating the Yahoo! Custom Permalinks plugin (and reactivating it again after that failed...). Could really use some help!
Check out Giving Wordpress its own directory. I can see how this could solve your problem. Also make sure that you have done the obvious, and change your url for WordPress address (URL) Site address (URL) inside the general settings page. Perhaps the static homepage should be developed outside of wordpress, and then you can follow the steps provided in the link I provided. Hope this solves your issue.
Yahoo doesn't allow users access to the htaccess file which means that you can't the mod_rewrite rules needed for custom permlinks. The Only way around it that i've heard it works (never tried it myself) is to add /index.php/ to the beginning of your custom structure so: Go to Permalink Settings > Select Custom Structure. And set the value as /index.php/%postname%/ or what ever you want as long as you add /index.php/ before it.
Hope this helps.
I had a similar problem with this host (in 2018! 4 years after your question) that I finally solved by changing the permalink settings.
Settings > Permalink Settings > Custom Structure: /index.php/%postname%/
I wish there was a better solution but Yahoo Small Business still doesn't allow .htaccess files - after several frustrating rounds with customer service, I finally admitted defeat and used this work around.
I uploaded my wordpress site from my Local host to a folder off my main domain (http://example.com/folder) using this tutorial http://www.webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/exporting-and-importing-wordpress/
(im working on a mac)
Everything went ok - admin panel is fine homepage is fine etc - only any page apart from the homepage redirects to this (http://example.com/folder/pagename) except instead of showing the content from that page it shows the unstyled information from the index page of my main root (http://example.com/)
What can I do to get this working?
Thanks
Do a general search with phpMyAdmin in your database for localhost URLs. And see How to Find and Replace Text in WordPress MySQL Database using SQL When Changing Domains » My Digital Life and Search RegEx « WordPress Plugins for grepping through posts and pages.
Better yet, use interconnectit.com WordPress Serialized PHP Search Replace Tool
And check your theme files for hardcoded links (as opposed to links using Template Tags/bloginfo « WordPress Codex
) to style sheets and pages.
Reset permalinks in Dashboard/Settings/Permalinks.
Check:
wp-admin > Settings > Wordpress address and Blog address
to include "folder"
to get this working ... delete all the posts/pages - go to ur local wordpress blog and export it.
login to ur web blog and import.
that would be an alternative solution to working with the database and as far as i know exporting/importing content works good in wp :)
