When a website is created on DreamHost shared hosting, the A record is automatically created and it can’t be deleted directly (only by removing hosting for the website/ domain). DreamHost prevents creation of a CNAME with the same hostname as an existing A record…and I doubt that would work well or as desired, if I could create a CNAME record with the same hostname as an existing A record. I can create an ALIAS record, but that doesn’t work as desired. Then there is the trouble of creating an alternative hostname (as described in the FAQ) and pointing it at the same IP address as the main/original A record for the website/domain. Since this is for a DreamHost shared hosting environment, where is traffic to that IP going to be routed? I don’t think DreamHost shared hosting uses a dedicated IP per website/domain…? 🤷🏻‍♂️ If that’s correct, they’re probably using name hints to determine how to route web traffic and the alternative hostname A record simply wouldn’t work…? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[W3 Total Cache] Questions regarding W3 Total Cache Image Service](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/questions-regarding-w3-total-cache-image-service/) * [regexaurus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/regexaurus/) * (@regexaurus) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/questions-regarding-w3-total-cache-image-service/#post-15758614) * Hi Marko, * I’m a little confused by point 1, where you indicate the CDN needs to be purged after converting images, so that webp images can replace the existing images. After purging the CDN, will the CDN also pull jpg/jpeg/png images as needed, for browsers that don’t support webp? * Thank you! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wordfence Security - Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security] Auto and manual WAF rules update fails](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-and-manual-waf-rules-update-fails/) * Thread Starter [regexaurus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/regexaurus/) * (@regexaurus) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-and-manual-waf-rules-update-fails/#post-11384629) * According to DreamHost support, the problem appears to be with Wordfence. DreamHost support responded with, “…it seems as if our servers cannot reach WordFence’s cloud host as the connection dies at the boarder. A traceroute to noc4.wordfence. com dies at their boarder and a trace back to us dies as well. From what we have determined, the issue seems to be with WordFence and not us…” Presumably, boarder == router 🙂 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin] UpdraftPlus Backup deleted from hacker](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updraftplus-backup-deleted-from-hacker/) * [regexaurus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/regexaurus/) * (@regexaurus) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updraftplus-backup-deleted-from-hacker/#post-9207217) * I cleaned up / fixed a bug in my first script above and [posted to Pastebin](https://pastebin.com/cs8Wu1eZ)( more legible there). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin] UpdraftPlus Backup deleted from hacker](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updraftplus-backup-deleted-from-hacker/) * [regexaurus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/regexaurus/) * (@regexaurus) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updraftplus-backup-deleted-from-hacker/#post-9206453) * One approach to keeping your Google Drive backups (more) secure in the event your web site is hacked: 1. Share the _UpdraftPlus_ folder with a second Google account. View access is fine. If you want to remove the source files after copying to the second account, grant edit access. 2. On your second Google account, create an unshared folder (e.g. UpdraftPlusCopy). 3. On your second Google account, go to script.google.com. Copy/paste the following( I renamed myFunction to CopyNewFiles) and replace the [bogus] folder IDs with the folder IDs for your source/destination folders: function CopyNewFiles(){ var SourceFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById(‘JMtgsgM9sY9Fe5Z7wCbb4YVVqfeZiZ’); var SourceFiles = DriveApp.getFolderById(‘JMtgsgM9sY9Fe5Z7wCbb4YVVqfeZiZ’).getFiles(); var DestFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById(‘SFGXwgvX6DmkAvPrrnWC2KY3imy7s2’); var DestFiles = DriveApp.getFolderById(‘SFGXwgvX6DmkAvPrrnWC2KY3imy7s2’).getFiles(); var NotInDest = true; while (SourceFiles.hasNext()) { SourceFile = SourceFiles. next(); while (DestFiles.hasNext()) { DestFile = DestFiles.next(); if (SourceFile. getName() === DestFile.getName()) { NotInDest = false; } } if (NotInDest) { SourceFile.makeCopy(SourceFile.getName(), DestFolder); NotInDest = true; } DestFiles = DriveApp.getFolderById(‘SFGXwgvX6DmkAvPrrnWC2KY3imy7s2’).getFiles(); } } 4. Optionally, rename the project. Save it (Ctrl+S) works and click the Run button. The first time you run it, you should be prompted to grant the script access to manage your (second Google account) Drive. * The script above will copy all files from SourceFolder to DestFolder that don’t already exist (identically-named file) exist in the DestFolder. If you are concerned about storage limits/cost, you could update the script to remove the original file after copying (example below). With that approach, you can remove/comment the code that checks for identically-named files in DestFolder, since that should never be the case if you remove the original file in SourceFolder. To do a restore from the UpdraftPlus plugin, you would need to copy/move the backup files back to the UpdraftPlus folder on the first Google account. * function CopyNewFiles() { var SourceFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById(‘JMtgsgM9sY9Fe5Z7wCbb4YVVqfeZiZ’); var SourceFiles = DriveApp.getFolderById(‘JMtgsgM9sY9Fe5Z7wCbb4YVVqfeZiZ’).getFiles(); var DestFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById(‘SFGXwgvX6DmkAvPrrnWC2KY3imy7s2’); while( SourceFiles.hasNext()) { SourceFile = SourceFiles.next(); SourceFile.makeCopy( SourceFile.getName(), DestFolder); SourceFolder.removeFile(SourceFile); } } Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/regexaurus/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/regexaurus/replies/page/2/?output_format=md)
