Unix and Unix-like operating systems (like Linux) use different line endings in their text files. The format of Windows and Unix text files differs slightly. In Windows, lines end with both the line feed and carriage return ASCII characters, but Unix uses only a line feed. As a consequence, some Windows applications will not show … Read more
You can’t. Any secrets you put into your pages or JavaScript can be read out of the downloaded files by the client. Instead, you probably want to either: Move the secrets into your server-side code and have your server code make requests to external APIs using the secrets, and use WordPress nonces and login cookies … Read more
You don’t need a separate rule in your .htaccess. Add … define( ‘WP_CONTENT_DIR’, ‘YOUR_LOCAL_PATH’ ); define( ‘WP_CONTENT_URL’, ‘YOUR_PUBLIC_PATH’ ); … to your wp-config.php. Do not write into wp-settings.php. This file will be overwritten during the next update – never touch a core file.
There are no best practices: You just do what you need for your web site. These needs are different for each site, so the default is good enough for most sites. If you read the wp-config questions you’ll find some tricks and information. But I wouldn’t recommend anything for every site, not even for most … Read more

You should make your form or whatever is directly linking to that file link to a normal WordPress endpoint instead, and have additional parameters … Read more
You should not put any defines in the end of the wp_config.php it is actually explicitly stated in it 😉 Every define you add should be above the line saying /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ Anything after that will have impact only after wordpress had finished to process the request
It looks like you have not imported the backup of database (sql file) to new database you have created in your localhost. Also after importing the database to local server you will need to replace the live site URL with new localhost URL at all instances in local database.
I found the solution. Even using “subdirectorys”, i got this error, so I had to configure a DNS with “*.mydomain.com” to multisite functions workout.
A Bigger Note on Database Access You shouldn’t be using the database constants. Instead you should be using the WPDB class, e.g. global $wpdb; $results = $wpdb->get_results( ‘SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_id = 1’, OBJECT ); That still leaves you with the issue that you need to be inside a WP context though, but … Read more
