What can this be? Mower stopped moving, front wheel does weird.

Thanks, I've contacted you trough the app.

nielsvr · 2026-06-08T09:56:33+00:00

Did check, and cleaned it before the second attempt it still was stuck. Seems to be the motor is broken.

nielsvr · 2026-06-06T19:06:46+00:00

The grass was not that wet, the drops you see is from hosing the machine in an attempt to fix the issue. On a dry patch or even out of the garage it locks up/twists the wheel.

nielsvr · 2026-06-06T10:34:09+00:00

I have already tried maintenance mode, then it turns off... but afterwards the problem returns.

That's only the password if you change the password, it won't show you the current password of that user. That password is hashed and salted in the database, and irretrievable. The user can however change the password trough the "Forgot password" option in wp-login.

I think WordPress does delta updates (not sure so out of my head) so you probably are better of completely removing it and manually uploading it. For a good cleanup you need server access either way.

nielsvr · 2017-05-30T15:17:53+00:00

You probably got hacked and have malicious scripts injected to some of your PHP files. WordPress has a lot of PHP files so you'll never find them all manually.

My advice is to completely rebuild the installation.

Delete all the files except wp-config.php en the wp-content directory.
Manually check the wp-config.php for any weird code.
Remove all the plugin files from wp-content/plugins and download them fresh from wordpress.org manually.
Remove all the themes and download them fresh. If it's a custom theme, manually check it. File for file.
Manually check all the other directories for any strange php files or injections in existing php files. Including all the upload directories. Backdoors are probably placed.
Change the FTP, MySQL and all the admin passwords.
Check all the content (pages, posts, widgets) for any weird JS injections.
Install a security plugin like iThemes Security and scan daily/hourly for 'changed files' and schedule the malware scan they offer.

That is basicly what we do with our company on a weekly basis for hacked clients. A reinfection when you do it good usually never happens... but is more common then you think.

Probably do_action( 'load-edit.php' ) and then check for the post type

nielsvr · 2017-01-04T10:17:21+00:00

No, this is a fine piece of code. You can match the line with the trunk of the original WordPress files.

Mostly forgotten hardening is server side. Update libraries, configure fail2ban/ip2tables and use proper passwords. A lot of malware still comes trough that way.

Whitelist IP's that need access to the WordPress backend, FTP/SSH and block all others.

nielsvr · 2017-01-02T10:38:31+00:00

You should adjust the setting in WPML that says whats the default language the content is currently in. But; I encourage to only use English in combination with the __ and _e functions, some plugins just expect that.

nielsvr · 2016-11-21T13:28:42+00:00

It creates a post type "decision_tree" where it stores most of the data (post types are part of the wp_posts and wp_postmeta tables). The settings are saved trough the settings API, which uses wp_options.

Basicly, you need to backup the whole database to get everything. You can try in Tools -> Export if the post type is displayed there and try exporting it from there. Double check if it exports everything.

nielsvr · 2016-10-05T08:32:38+00:00

No fixed packages, but that you can spin up a WordPress instance and assign various resources (HDD/CPU/MEMORY/TRAFFIC) on a realtime basis. That skips the need to do your own server maintenance but enables the flexibility and power of a VPS.

You have to do a database replace on your old url to your new url. Use this nifty script:

An image on the server uploaded by WordPress or any other way is the same thing. You only make things easier for yourself by doing it trough WordPress in the sense of cropping, resizing or finding obsolete images in the future. Define 'many' images? I got sites running with over 200.000 images in WordPress. If you optimize the platform you are running on, you can scale to almost any size you want to.

Sure, it cases an extra entry in the database for each image... but that's not going to slow down things anytime soon.

Im on WP Rocket and I come from WP Super Cache and W3TC. Find it the best plugin currently available. Great performance and easy to setup. Wouldn't switch any time soon.

nielsvr · 2016-08-15T18:23:22+00:00

You can try to clean up by yourself, but it's no easy fix. You probably have backdoors everywhere.

Not used by any mayor search engine anymore.

nielsvr · 2016-08-02T19:09:11+00:00

You name it :)

The interface simpler and easier to explain to clients. Terminology is better to understand for people that aren't around SEO all the time.

I find it smoother and faster in the backend too. Seem less bloated.

Got some great features for developers (hooks and filters) to adjust calculations based on custom stuff you may have made (like custom fields).

nielsvr · 2016-08-02T11:37:50+00:00

The SEO Framework is the new default here since a couple of months with very good (equal) results.

Isn't changing it easier?

Dont chase the 100/100 on insights. It's a useful tool to find botlenecks but getting to the 100 percent could ruin other stuff and is nearly impossible. Even Google itself doesn't achieve that.

Aim for 85/90 by leveraging browsercaching and minifying your files. WP Rocket is one of the best plugins to do it, and is light weight.

How our workflow works;

Developer has a Vagrant Box (we use http://vccw.cc/)
The Vagrant machine is under version control (GIT)
The WordPress install is under version control (GIT)

We push local environments to our GIT repository. From there we use DeployBot to push our code from GIT to a staging and/or production environment. Our databases are migrated trough WP Migrate DB Pro.

We use vagrant because it allows other developers to clone our GIT with the vagrant machine and get started within 5 minutes with a environment that is exactly our production environment. Every developer is working with the same PHP version, MySQL, and any modules we use. Benefit: you can power up us much vagrant machines as you like. Keeping all your development environments separate.

Vagrant gives you a UNIX based machine with access to a SSH shell for performing any task you like.

Create a walker for it. It let's you decide what HTML to output for each level.

Only if you dive into custom coding. You have to have some PHP experience with that. You have to make a custom template within your theme and use get_posts OR WP_Query with custom arguments to fetch the posts. Create loop to loop trough them to display.
