I have a wordpress website hosted on byethost.com which runs on a free account, now what the problem is that on some computers it shows that image hotlinking is disabled on my plan, is there a way to change my urls of images whithout giving my websites link, or i'll just have to upgrade my plan??
You should add an entry to your .htaccess. This page has a handy generator that will write he rules for you.
As always with making changes to .htaccess, make sure you back it up first, and don't put it in between the comments added by WP, since they may get over written

I have made a small text change on one of my wordpress website using elementor 3 but is not able to publish on live site. Solutions that I have tried so far but unsuccessful.
Clear Browser cache, WP plugin cache and purge website server cache.
Made changes again and view in incognito mode
Change Elementor CSS Print Method to Internal Embedding
Regenerate CSS and data in Elementor tools settings
Note: The only way I see change made is by adding ? (querymode) to the url, but not without that.
The issue we were having was due to old hosting, since the DNS was pointing to old host, the changes made was reflecting in old WP admin but not in new one
All we have to do is point the DNS to new host. That resolved a problem .
Good Morning,
I have already created several sites in WordPress and I have always been able to manage the link of my site with or without https and with or without www through the settings in options > general, as you can see here: https://prnt.sc/lzv62u
Lately, I have to use a plugin to force https and I've even added code to the htaccess file to redirect to "non-www". However, this htaccess file loses those changes that I make very often (I do not know why).
I would like to know, first of all, if it is possible to manage this type of settings again through the admin panel of my WordPress. If it is not possible, I would like to know why and what is different for this particular site cannot control these settings in the admin panel (because I have already managed to do so in others).
Secondly, if this is not possible, I would like a permanent solution to redirect from www.floresnocais.pt to floresnocais.pt since I already have a plugin to force https.
Thank you
Set the .htaccess rights to 400 after applying all the required changes to the file. This will make the file read-only and prevent any further changes.
We faced the same issue in the past while using the WPML and the events manager plugin. There were issues in preserving the permalinks. The issue may be due to multiple plugins have the write access to .htaccess file and one is overwriting changes of the another.
I done things a bit backward developing my new site, don't ask me why! But i built the site on the live server it will be hosted on first and the other day i created a sub-domain to hold a copy of the website so i can use it as a sandbox environment and test new plugins, to get PayPal working etc
I followed this tutorial
So it all worked fine! i have a copy of my site on a subdomain working. I had the infamous admin login redirect to itself issue but i sorted that, the reason it wasnt working was because i had my caches disabled in magento before i copied the site. So i had to enable them again in order to gain access ( If anyone knows why this is please share).
So my problem now is, i am updating the design of my website using the css and images in the skin folder. The problem is i update something in the css and load it onto my server and into the subdomain skins folder but nothing changes on the frontend UNTIL about 15 minutes later and me clearing all caches hundreds of times!! i really don't understand whats happening?
The links to my css/js and image folders are all correct in the head of the website. It's just like a time delay between me changing something in the css and the website updating itself.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
Tom
Have you also disabled cached on Magento Admin? Perhaps you can try reloading the site on a non-cached based version of browsers (e.g. Incognito Mode in Google Chrome).
Your browser is also caching the external css files which is basically good for saving bandwidth of server and reducing page loading speed. But, for development purpose, you need to avoid css caching. On firefox or IE, you can use CTRL+F5 to reload a webpage without cached css.
If you do not want to use CTRL+F5, you can also add timestamp to your css file as URL parameter.
For example, style.css?<?php echo time();?>
You can also use Apache module to expire the caching.
.htaccess
ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 second"
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_expires.html
I'm using Wordpress for a client's website and this client asked me if he could have two domains with the same content, but a different logo on top of the page. So for example:
www.website1.com with logo1
www.website2.com with logo2
Both with same theme & contents.
I was thinking of a double WP install, but then you have to do every change two times. I read something about multisites in Wordpress, but could not find out how to do this.
I hope someone can help me out, thanks!
On the SEO front this is a bad idea, you will duplicate all content Google won't know what to value more. But if you really want it.
you could do this with two wp install's but there are problems.
First set your site url's in the wp-config
Second let both installs connect to the same database. The change in
header can be detected with $_REQUEST (google it)
Now there are 2 problems left which I don't know how to fix.
The uploads folder need to be synchronized so each site can access the uploads
the solution will be with simlinks stuff. (which I'm not familiar with)
And your hosting provider has to allow it.
If you add an internal link in your post/pages it will prepend the complete site url, and save this hard coded in the database.
The solution of this could be in the editor, of to filter the content before it is printed.
If you want to go this way I'm willing to look further into these problems
Here is a relatively recent article on how to set a multisite wordpress network up.
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.
