Because WordPress runs over 40% of the web, it’s a huge target. Hackers aren’t usually going after your site specifically. They use bots that scan thousands of WordPress sites looking for easy wins: weak passwords, outdated plugins, or old WordPress versions.
A lot of times when a user is setting up 301 redirects they will usually end up create multiple redirects when in only one is actually needed. For example, say if you have URLs such as /catalog/sku1.html /catalog/sku2.html /catalog/sku3.html
Creating a backup of your WordPress site is simple and doesn’t require a plugin, but if you prefer using one, [Updraft](https://manzari.com/review/updraft/) is my recommendation.
If you’re not using comments on your WordPress site, there’s no reason to keep that system loaded. Instead of installing a plugin, I prefer to disable comments entirely with a few lines of code. This removes the comment feature from both the frontend and admin, keeping everything cleaner, more lightweight, and eliminating an extra area that could be targeted for spam or abuse.
As a WordPress developer, I spend a lot of time duplicating posts and pages. Whether I'm creating similar blog posts, copying page layouts, or testing content—WordPress doesn't have a built-in duplicate feature, and I don't like to use bloated plugins for this simple task.
If you’re using the free version of Elementor, you’ve probably already realized there’s no way to make your header sticky — which is probably why you’re here. Normally, you’d need Elementor Pro or a premium feature for this. In this post, I’ll show you how to do it using the free version of both Elementor and the Astra theme.
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files are powerful, lightweight, and perfect for modern web design. However, WordPress doesn't allow SVG uploads by default for security reasons.
A must-use plugin (MU plugin) is a special type of WordPress plugin that loads automatically and cannot be disabled from the admin dashboard. I use these for core functionality that I never want accidentally turned off — things like custom code, performance tweaks, or essential features my site depends on. Since MU plugins load before regular plugins, they’re reliable and always active, which makes them perfect for keeping important logic in one place without relying on theme files or standard plugins.
By default, WordPress displays categories in a format like Cats, Pets, even when one category is a child of another. In this guide, you’ll learn how to display categories in the correct hierarchy format like Pets > Cats, with clickable links.
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to install Wordfence, activate the free license, and set up two-factor authentication (2FA) on your WordPress website.
In this quick walkthrough, I show how to create a custom post type in WordPress using CPT UI and Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), then display those posts with the native Query Loop block in the WordPress block editor. This is a practical, no-fluff tutorial focused on getting something working fast so you understand how the pieces fit together. I use a simple t-shirt example and keep the design minimal on purpose.
Learn how to manually migrate a WordPress website using cPanel in 2025 — completely free and with no plugins required. In this step-by-step tutorial, I’ll show you the exact process I use to move a WordPress site to a new domain or hosting provider using only cPanel, FTP, and phpMyAdmin. This method works for ALL WordPress websites and is the same approach used by hosting professionals.
If you just purchased hosting and want to connect your domain, you’ll need to add it inside cPanel before installing WordPress or creating a website. In this guide, I’ll show you exactly how to add a domain to your cPanel account and make sure it points to your hosting properly.
To enable AutoSSL in cPanel, log in to your cPanel account, go to SSL/TLS Status in the Security section, select the checkboxes next to the desired domains, and click Run AutoSSL. The process automatically issues and installs a free SSL certificate for the selected domains and can take a few minutes to an hour to complete.
