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. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Software License Manager] 1 License for top level and subdomains feature request](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/1-license-for-top-level-and-subdomains-feature-request/) * Thread Starter [John H](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpbloghost/) * (@wpbloghost) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/1-license-for-top-level-and-subdomains-feature-request/#post-10099250) * Just one website, not a multisite. * Thank you for the reply. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Mesmerize] Can we add a video?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-we-add-a-video/) * Thread Starter [John H](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpbloghost/) * (@wpbloghost) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-we-add-a-video/#post-9721015) * Hi thank you for the response. * I mean in the content area actually, not the header background image/video. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Custom Sidebars - Dynamic Sidebar Classic Widget Area Manager] How to remove the annoying WPMU Dev Advertising pop up](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-remove-the-annoying-wpmu-dev-advertising-pop-up/) * [John H](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpbloghost/) * (@wpbloghost) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-remove-the-annoying-wpmu-dev-advertising-pop-up/#post-6808281) * Is there a way to turn off this notification without turning off all my Chrome notifications? * Forum: [Requests and Feedback](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/requests-and-feedback/) In reply to: [Organize Backend Pages Admin Area With Folders](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-organize-backend-pages-admin-area-with-folders/) * Thread Starter [John H](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpbloghost/) * (@wpbloghost) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-organize-backend-pages-admin-area-with-folders/#post-6434533) * That’s awesome, staartmees.

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: [http://phoenixsupplycompany.com#work](http://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. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Leaf] Showing the blog page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/showing-the-blog-page/) * [John H](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpbloghost/) * (@wpbloghost) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/showing-the-blog-page/#post-3328341) * Hi I have the same problem farrukhahmed had. * How did you fix it? * Thanks, John * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Does Pagenation of NextGen Gallery Count as Pageviews?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-pagenation-of-nextgen-gallery-count-as-pageviews/) * Thread Starter [John H](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpbloghost/) * (@wpbloghost) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-pagenation-of-nextgen-gallery-count-as-pageviews/#post-3207235) * 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. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Secure WordPress – Change table prefix after installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/secure-wordpress-change-table-prefix-after-installation/) * [John H](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpbloghost/) * (@wpbloghost) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/secure-wordpress-change-table-prefix-after-installation/#post-3085268) * [@voodoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/voodoo/) – The problem is how do you know if they are shady sites? * Check [this article](http://wpmu.org/why-you-should-never-search-for-free-wordpress-themes-in-google-or-anywhere-else/) 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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) – thanks for the info. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Secure WordPress – Change table prefix after installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/secure-wordpress-change-table-prefix-after-installation/) * [John H](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpbloghost/) * (@wpbloghost) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/secure-wordpress-change-table-prefix-after-installation/#post-3085264) * [@ipstenu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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 WordPress.org 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.
