You don’t need to block the IP address at all. Append this code in wp-config.php of your website in case you have access to it:: define(‘WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE’, false); Alternative Method This will hide update messages for all kind of users:: Add this function to your functions.php function hide_update_notice_to_all_but_admin_users() { if (current_user_can(‘read’)) { remove_action( ‘admin_notices’, ‘update_nag’, 3 … Read more
When installing WP onto an IP address (or hostname), WP will only respond to requests on that IP address. Any request from another IP address even if it resolves to the same server, will result in a redirect to a WP error page. In this situation, I would do this: Install WP on the public … Read more
If you only want to change the location of the uploads directory (and leave the rest of WordPress on C:), you should be able to define the UPLOADS constant: define( ‘UPLOADS’, wp_normalize_path( ‘e:\path\to\uploads’ ) ); I’d recommend you do this on a test machine first, if at all possible. I’d also recommend you do this … Read more
Following on from the comments thread… Here’s a method I’ve used for a long time for handling the ‘not ideal’ scenario of different configurations between environments. The following is a heavily cut-down representation of wp-config.php but it demonstrates the idea… <?php /** * The base configurations of the WordPress. * * This file has the … Read more
Move wp-config.php to its new location somewhere above “public_html” and add a new “skeleton” wp-config.ph in the WordPress directory e.g. <?php include(‘/dir_above_public_html/priv-applecom/wp-config.php’); ?> The wp-config.php script is included by other WordPress files. So to include this from a non default location we can simply 1. move our “real” wp-config from the WordPress directory to where … Read more
This appears to be resolved if I add a home value to the wp_options table. For example, I added https://www.productionurl.com to this dev server’s options table, even though that URL does not have a WordPress installation, and this dev installation began loading the proper config item from wp-config.php.
please note: WP from Synology NAS uses MariaDB/MySQL to store & organize its content, thus you need to set up a user account(e.g. WP_User) in the database(by using e.g. phpMySQLAdmin) to give ‘read’ privilege from anywhere (.), Secondly, please pay attention to MariaDB is using the port of 3307(not MySQL 3306) as default, if you … Read more
But based solely on what you posted, the problem is the following: define( ‘SMTP_USER’, ‘[email protected]’ ); // The email address I use when I log in to the wp-admin page define( ‘SMTP_PASS’, ‘123password’ ); // The password I use when I log in to the wp-admin page define( ‘SMTP_HOST’, ‘localhost’ ); // I am testing … Read more
In this answer, I assume the following, going by your question: Your WordPress site is at /var/www/html Your WordPress sites’s full config file is at /var/www/wp-config.php There is a small file at /var/www/html/wp-config.php that (ideally) will load /var/www/wp-config.php Your /var/www/wp-config.php contains all the necessary content to run your WordPress site (ie, the code from wp-config-sample.php, … Read more
I have WordPress on Unbutu as well. Maybe this will get you started. (I’m assuming you have access with command line through Terminal via SSH. If that assumption is in error, forgive me.) In a typical WordPress install there are likely three users, similar to: root:root www-data:www-data (Apache) user:user sudo lxd (WHERE “user” is some … Read more
