Looks interesting and I’ll check it out. * However, I just found this plugin and put http in as a filter word. It seems to be working to block all of the spambot submissions that have links which make it through my other 2 filtering methods. Combining this plugin, honeypot and a required CF7 checkbox saying “I am not a robot”, I think nearly 100% of my spambot submissions will be gone without any captchas 🙂 * The only caveat is people can’t put links in the form….. but I don’t care about that. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/cf7-message-filter/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cf7-message-filter/) - This reply was modified 6 years ago by [ddbell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ddbell/). * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Left wp-config in 644… what can happen?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/left-wp-config-in-644-what-can-happen/) * Thread Starter [ddbell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ddbell/) * (@ddbell) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/left-wp-config-in-644-what-can-happen/#post-11433794) * Thanks for clearing that up. I am the only user on the server. * However, I am wondering if the account was actually hacked. There were a bunch of robot accounts, which from what I read is fairly common. I deleted all of the accounts at the same time that I changes the database password , wordpress password, and cpanel password. After I did all of that then the server usage was magically fixed. * However, what I didn’t notice until after I deleted the accounts is there was a strange account role that I could assign users to. The user role is a long string of strange characters and symbols. I don’t know if any of the accounts I deleted were actually set to it or what they could do. I created a new user and added to the role and logged int it. The account looked like a subscriber account when logging in. * Anyway, I want to re-create this site anyway. I guess this give me the motivation to wipe it clean and start over. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Install in subdirectory but use root directory for URLs?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/install-in-subdirectory-but-use-root-directory-for-urls/) * Thread Starter [ddbell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ddbell/) * (@ddbell) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/install-in-subdirectory-but-use-root-directory-for-urls/#post-7121838) * The problem is there is already a non wordpress home page using the name index. php. There can’t be both a wordpress index.php and a non wordpress homepage with the name index.php in the root directory. * When someone go to the domain name, it needs to point them directly to the NON- wordpress homepage file, not to the the wordpress index.php file. * It there a way in htaccess to define the home page to point to another file by default instead of index.php. That way, users going to the domain root would get directed to the homepage file? * I don’t want to use simply a 301 redirect to a new page. When they go to website. com I want the URL to stay website.com. I don’t want to redirect to a new page and have uses going to the site to go to a URL such as website.com/home.php. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [The request got a 4XX, 5XX response – Pingdom Test](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-request-got-a-4xx-5xx-response-pingdom-test/) * Thread Starter [ddbell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ddbell/) * (@ddbell) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-request-got-a-4xx-5xx-response-pingdom-test/#post-7142280) * After reading through stuff on 206, I can’t come to a determination if it could SEO issues. I think I’ll just change to a slider that doesn’t have the 206 responses just to be safe. * After testing about 10 different sliders, the Layers slider is the only one that seems to cause this to happen. I’ll just pick another on and move on 🙂 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [The request got a 4XX, 5XX response – Pingdom Test](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-request-got-a-4xx-5xx-response-pingdom-test/) * Thread Starter [ddbell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ddbell/) * (@ddbell) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-request-got-a-4xx-5xx-response-pingdom-test/#post-7142248) * Good point on the SEO……. Just for that reason, I think I will want to fix the errors. SEO is always a mystery. * I tested several different slider plugins. None of them gave the errors except the Layers slider that I am currently using. However, I don’t like the navigations on any of the sliders when the screen size changes. * Instead of using a slider plugin, I think I am going to end up using the JSSOR slider inside code blocks with some hand written HTML and mashing it into the WP page. It will be a little extra work but I know for sure that slider won’t have any issues when it’s done. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [The request got a 4XX, 5XX response – Pingdom Test](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-request-got-a-4xx-5xx-response-pingdom-test/) * Thread Starter [ddbell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ddbell/) * (@ddbell) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-request-got-a-4xx-5xx-response-pingdom-test/#post-7142192) * Thanks for the clarification. Should I be concerned about the 206 responses? I just looked that up and found out that 206 meant partial content. However, you said that you could view all of the sliders even though it gave a 206, correct? So I guess I’m confused as to whether the 206 responses are actually an issue or not. * Just to test, I removed the slider and added all 12 images directly in

tags to a test page which was a copy of the home page. This page runs fine in pingdom with no connection errors. This has the exact same content except with static images instead of the slider. * [http://www.pixnub](http://www.pixnub)(dot)com/test/ * If the 206 errors are a concern then I can try a different slider. If not, then I guess I’ll leave it alone. The slider is the “Layers” slider. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [The request got a 4XX, 5XX response – Pingdom Test](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-request-got-a-4xx-5xx-response-pingdom-test/) * Thread Starter [ddbell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ddbell/) * (@ddbell) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-request-got-a-4xx-5xx-response-pingdom-test/#post-7142180) * Thanks for the help Clayton. Where did you check it at? If you have a better place to check then I’d love to know where that is so I can use that checker myself 🙂 * Pingdom is still showing the errors for me. However, I’m tending to not believe the pingdom results. Pingdom gives a screen shot with the first slide but there is no way to scroll through the slides. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Install in subdirectory but use root directory for URLs?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/install-in-subdirectory-but-use-root-directory-for-urls/) * Thread Starter [ddbell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ddbell/) * (@ddbell) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/install-in-subdirectory-but-use-root-directory-for-urls/#post-7121517) * Just to clarify, I have managed to already install wordpress itno a subdirectory. That is not the hangup. * I just want to remove the subdirectory name from the URLs of the subpages (not the home page).

However, the current site (not using wordpress) already has an index.php for the homepage. * I need to keep the existing home page index.php. I can’t have both the wordpress index.php and the current index.php.

However, as mentioned, I already figured it out. * I was using this is the wp-config.php file define( ‘WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’); * It needed to be this define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ ); * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [php memory limit issues](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-memory-limit-issues/) * Thread Starter [ddbell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ddbell/) * (@ddbell) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-memory-limit-issues/#post-7118904) * Lesson learned….. I should have not mentioned the word “Avada”. I should have simply asked if I was changing the wp-config.php file correctly and left it at that. I know better for next time. * I did not realize that merely mentioning a “commercial” theme inside a post would disqualify my question from a response. * The 2 plugins that I mentioned are open source and not “commercial”. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [php memory limit issues](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-memory-limit-issues/) * Thread Starter [ddbell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ddbell/) * (@ddbell) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-memory-limit-issues/#post-7118901) * My question had nothing to do with the Avada theme. My question was regarding if I was updating the php file correctly to change the memory limit. I was just checking what the theme (and 2 other plugins as mentioned) showed the memory limit as. I was just using these to check to see if my changes to the wp-config. php were working or not. * Anyway, I figured it out on my own. Thanks * I was using this is the wp-config.php file define( ‘WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’); * It needed to be this define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ ); * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Javascript in page body?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-in-page-body/) * Thread Starter [ddbell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ddbell/) * (@ddbell) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-in-page-body/#post-6085123) * Thanks for the info on that plugin. I’ll check that one out too. * I just tested “Insert HTML Snippets” by XYZ Scripts. Entering the same exact JS, creating a snippet and then adding the snippet to the page works fine. I suppose I could always create each page body as one big “snippet”. This would ensure the code was used as is. Ir seems like a clunky way to build a website but I guess as long as it works. * I guess I’m just so used to creating websites from scratch that it just bothers me to have to jump through so many hoops to do such basic coding. However, my client wants a large directory on his site so I figured using wordpress with a directory plugin would be easier than creating a functional directory database from scratch. * Bascially, I’m trying to fit wordpress into the site so it can utilize the plugin instead of trying to fit a site into wordpress. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Javascript in page body?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-in-page-body/) * Thread Starter [ddbell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ddbell/) * (@ddbell) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-in-page-body/#post-6085108) * I did read that as mentioned in my original post but the article was somtwhat vague. That article suggests that it is not possible to use inline javascripting in a page however mentions that it may be possible with a plugin. If so, what plugin? I tried the “Raw HTML” plugin but that did not work. * I don’t understand why it is so difficult just to get a simple block of code to work correctly. There must be a way to get WP to allow you to use your own code exctly as you want, including on page JS. I don’t want to create additional JS files for simple 1 or 2 line JS code. WP already has enough http requests and I don’t want to make more for little one-off tiny scripts. * This is why I typically build websites from scratch. However, I’m building this for a client who needs it in wordpress so I have no choice but to try and shove a square peg in a round hole. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Javascript in page body?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-in-page-body/) * Thread Starter [ddbell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ddbell/) * (@ddbell) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-in-page-body/#post-6085089) * Yeah, I read that and I think I understand the basic structure of how the page gets mashed together. I’ve already completed redid the header and footer php files so they are exactly like I want them. * The issue is that the code entered in the main body part of the page does not get treated strictly as a block of code. * The inline javascript does not operate as it should and extra tags get added by wordpress. * I want to be able to just enter the raw code in and have it added “unfilter” between the header and footer without wordpress modifying it in any way.
