Hey Ian! Thanks for the reply. Sorry it took awhile to get back to you.

So by deprecated you’re saying that technically we’re not even suppossed to doing custom font html in html5?

We are both using same browser/OS except she’s on windows 10 enterprise and I’m on normal Windows 1o.

She does not have any chrome extensions activated.

Are you saying there is a way to change the font instructions in CSS to permanently fix the font size of lists so we don’t have to do it manually?

That would be super awesome if so. How can I do that?

1 review coming your way.

Cheers,

Hey @vmarko

Dude thanks so much for this. I went through your checklist here. It turns out the JS minify was the culprit. Not totally sure if we can play around with those settings there (or if they’re even worth messing with, I assume it’s not a big deal speed wise) but I’m a happy camper. Super stoked on this. As soon as I get the site monetized you can bet I’ll be happy to upgrade to premium (and for both our sakes I hope it’s sooner than later ??

If you still need the website URL it’s https://www.thefunctionalpatient.com

Other than that if you want me to try any different settings on the JS minify I’m happy to try them however I’m totally happy as is.

Cheers and thanks so much

kk thanks Steven

Ya I’m really trying to limit my plugins to a minimum to keep overhead down and would like to get some experience fixing the backend manually.

Well there’s a quite a few articles on fixing this manually by adding some code to the HTML file, which seems easy enough.

I assume your saying that that solution is inadequate or perhaps risky? (even if I backup everything and test the changes)

Thanks!

Oh, thanks for the reply Joy. I see your point there.

Unfortunately my security plugin (Wordfence – Free) does not appear to have the option to remove query strings…

Do you think there is an alternative code that would still remove query strings without affecting the dynamic resources as well I could use or should I just leave things the way they are and focus on speeding my site up through other avenues?

Thanks for the reply Steven,

1. Do you recommend the code that is offered in the reply on the thread you linked to?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

2. I’m very inexperienced when it comes to inserting code (I don’t even know how to access the .htaccess) and I’m worried I’ll muck this up somehow.

Do you have a link for a beginner’s guide to first time coding by chance?

Appreciate your help, you guys do good work here.

Ok thanks Jan!

I read through the WP security article and implemented most of the suggestions outlined.

I installed a backup plugin that will allow for offsite backups (UpdraftPlus). And I installed a free highly rated all in one firewall/malware/password plugin (Wordfence).

I think if I continue to abide by the best practices you all have outlined in tandem with these plugins I should do just fine given my needs (personal blog with zero traffic and have yet to even write my first blog post).

I’ll upgrade once I expand my user base and take the leap from blog to business.

That’s my plan for now (lmk if I should do otherwise). Thanks for your input!

Hey, thank you for your input. Websites can definitely feel a bit overwhelming to pure beginners.

@te_taipo- So what your saying is not to worry so much about getting the best security plugin but more so make sure that there aren’t any breaches of integrity in the plugins, theme, and coding making up my WP site?

@Jan- “If you keep your code up to date and follow those practiced that t-p linked to, then you should be good.”

I’m not a coder or programmer, how do I keep my code up to date? (Or is it just as simple as making sure I install the latest updates of WP, my plugins, and theme?)

Thank you for your input.
