Yep. That was it. Thanks so much, love the plugin.

Awesome, thank you for the reply. Makes sense.

That’s awesome. Thank you and I may do that. Your plugin is great and I’m able to follow the documentation easily. Thank you and I look forward to that add on.

Awesome. Thanks for that.

Ah never mind. I see it’s a paid add on. Perfect. Thank you.

Just 1 – let me explain…

I’ll be selling a WordPress plugin and to keep it from getting distributed freely online, I am providing a license key – pretty standard stuff, I just want them to get 1 license key for 1 domain.

My plugin will distribute coupon codes. Many of my buyers will have different products they sell on Amazon so they might not have a single website set up for all their products / brands.

So I was thinking they could set up subdomains on a generic site, like mycoupons.com, for example.

So to be organized, they could make use of subdomains:

toys.mycoupons.com
electronics.mycoupons.com
brandX.mycoupons.com
brandY.mycoupons.com

As it stands, even though these are all on the same top level domain, they’d need 4 license keys. I would be nice to have the ability to allow for a license key to work for subdomains.

Just a thought.
Thank you, love the plugin.

Just one website, not a multisite.

Thank you for the reply.

Hi thank you for the response.

I mean in the content area actually, not the header background image/video.

Is there a way to turn off this notification without turning off all my Chrome notifications?

That’s awesome, staartmees. I’m going to install that plugin. Thanks for the tip.

Thank you to both.

Okay I think it’s a custom post type because when I use the custom permalink structure like you suggest, it works fine. But when I click on “portfolio” items the URL is exmaple.com/blog/portfolio/article when it use to be just example.com/portfolio/article

On the homepage if you go here you’ll skip to the “portfolio” area:
https://phoenixsupplycompany.com#work

Click on any of the images and you’ll see /blog in the URL when you go to that page.

Note that I’m working on changing the “portfolio” word to something else, so that word might change to “products”.

Thanks again.

Hi I have the same problem farrukhahmed had.

How did you fix it?

Thanks,
John

Thanks Kate. I don’t suppose you can point me to a page that shows me how to do that?

I’m looking through the settings area of the plugin but not finding anything that would suggest doing something like this.

Thanks for your reply.

@voodoo – The problem is how do you know if they are shady sites?

Check this article out. It’s a real eye opener when it comes to free themes.

You are right, though, spending money does not mean the person who coded the theme is straight as an arrow. I didn’t mean to imply that.

@esmi – thanks for the info.

@ipstenu, good point but being in the security business for a number of years now I can say that not all hackers are that clever. What I’ve seen are bots hitting my sites with preloaded scripts to attempt to hack into my database assuming the prefix is wp_.

They also blindly hit them hoping to guess that I’m using an out of date theme, plugin, WordPress version, etc.

So you are right that a very skilled hacker could figure out a way, but I have multiple examples from my own sites (from blocked attack alerts) that show quite a number of times the hacker is guessing using automated software.

@protechig – If you’d like to chat about security, feel free to contact me. I’ve had sites hacked before and have a set number of things I always make sure to do to “help” with security. Aside from that, here’s a few tips:

1. Security always starts with the person/site owner. Being aware that this is a problem and taking steps to safeguard yourself and be prepared is top of the list.

2. Keep WP up to date – always.

3. Don’t trust free templates/themes. I’m not sure what sort of security checks themes in the www.remarpro.com section have in place (maybe someone can enlighten us), but I’ve seen lots of examples where free themes include some nasty code.

4. Be careful what plugins you use for the same reason I gave for Themes. To to use reputable plugins, if possible.

5. I suggest changing your db prefix. Like I mentioned above, I’ve seen multiple instances where jerks try to hack my site by guessing that’s my database prefix and WordPress is out of date.

6. Don’t use free Wi-Fi. People can hack your computer, intercept your WordPress login if you choose to log in over free Wi-Fi, etc.

7. Use a good computer firewall and antivirus. Remember, keeping your WordPress blog secure involves more things than what you do to WordPress.

8. Never use unencrypted FTP. Use one of these instead:

• SFTP
• FTPS
• FTPES

Good luck.
