Here’s the most basic code to only prevent your post from showing as is_single (similar to making all your posts for a particular category private). * So in my case, when I go to my blog page (or category page), then I see the post title. When I click on the link to go to the single post page, I get a 404 (if the post belongs to the excluded category) – ID 1 in my case, which is generally the Uncategorized category by default. * ``` function exclude_single_post( $query ) { $excluded_category_ids = array(1); if ( $query->is_single() ) { $post_categories = wp_get_post_categories( $query->query_vars['p'] ); foreach ($excluded_category_ids as $category_id ) { if ( in_array( $category_id, $post_categories ) ) { $query->set( 'p', -$category_id ); break; } } } } add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_single_post' ); ``` * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to add a copyright](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-add-a-copyright/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-add-a-copyright/#post-4183584) * For your entire site…you should be able to add copyright copy to your footer. php.

Want to make sure the function is actually getting called. * If you want to send it to your error log instead, use * `error_log("exclude_category called");` * instead… * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Exclude Single Post View of Certain Categories](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-single-post-view-of-certain-categories/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-single-post-view-of-certain-categories/#post-4176926) * And have you disabled any plugins you may have tried? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Exclude Single Post View of Certain Categories](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-single-post-view-of-certain-categories/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-single-post-view-of-certain-categories/#post-4176925) * OK, this works perfectly for me, so let’s try and find what’s different. What works (if anything) and what doesn’t? (I assume the single doesn’t) That is, are your specified posts hidden from category but still show on the single page? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Accessing wp-admin on a different port/url](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/accessing-wp-admin-on-a-different-porturl/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/accessing-wp-admin-on-a-different-porturl/#post-4183037) * The only thing I can think of (in regards to your original question) would be to use the WordPress `wp_insert_post_data` filter hook and remove the port (using a regex) before saving the post to the database. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Accessing wp-admin on a different port/url](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/accessing-wp-admin-on-a-different-porturl/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/accessing-wp-admin-on-a-different-porturl/#post-4183032) * Yes, dynamic IPs will pretty much make that solution impossible. (or incredibly difficult at best) * I’ve not ever used a separate port for WordPress admin specifically, though it should be possible. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [help with displaying most recent post on static page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-displaying-most-recent-post-on-static-page/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-displaying-most-recent-post-on-static-page/#post-4183026) * Or if you’re “echo” adverse, you could do it like this: 🙂 * ``` 'date', 'order' => 'DESC', 'showposts' => '1' ) ); if ( $query->have_posts() ) : ?> the_post(); ?>

Besides being familiar with the company, the plugin appears to have a substantial amount of downloads and a good rating. * But looking on the WPMU DEV forums, I see this comment: * > Q: The Ad Sharing plugin looks perfect for sharing revenue across authors, > but I only need it for a single wordpress install, not multisite. Is there > a plugin like that? > Essentially I’d like to have all my authors get a percentage of the income > from ads on the blog. > A: Unfortunately not. the ad sharing is designed for multiple sites users, > not sharing with users on a single site. * They go on to suggest trying a plugin you already mentioned (note, the comment was from early this year): * [Revenue Share for Authors (RSP for WordPress)](http://wordpress.org/plugins/revenue-share-plugin-for-authorsrsp/) * So I’d check with WPMU if the plugin is truly for multisite only (if you’re not running multisite). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Brute Force Attackers Know My Registrants' Usernames](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/brute-force-attackers-know-my-registrants-usernames/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/brute-force-attackers-know-my-registrants-usernames/#post-4181702) * I’ve not heard of that, though thinking of how this could happen a couple things come to mind. Can your registered users posts and are their names listed as author along with the posts if the can (this wouldn’t be the username, but a user’s screen name might be guessed from that). I’d think if someone was sniffing open traffic (non-SSL), they’d get the password too. Or since passwords are encrypted in the database, maybe usernames were obtained somehow. * That all said, I’d just harden the site down even more and add additional security specifically for brute force attacks in general. I always use one of the many login lockdown plugins, or more lately, I just use that feature in Better WP Security. * [Codex: Brute Force Attacks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Brute_Force_Attacks) Viewing 15 replies - 271 through 285 (of 520 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/replies/page/18/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/replies/?output_format=md) [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/replies/page/3/?output_format=md)… [18](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/replies/page/18/?output_format=md) 19 [20](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/replies/page/20/?output_format=md)… [33](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/replies/page/33/?output_format=md) [34](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/replies/page/34/?output_format=md) [35](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/replies/page/35/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/replies/page/20/?output_format=md)
