WordPress on IIS does not load/display images

The first bump I got from encountering the WordPress rake on IIS: a problem with displaying pictures. When you upload an image to the ‘media’ of WordPress, it doesn’t display and gives an error:

 

HTTP Error 500.50 – URL Rewrite Module Error

 

After searching here and there it became clear that it is a problem with the rights to the folders. The permissions in IIS are very … how shall I put it softly – unusually in comparison with crystal clear system CHMOD *nux servers.

 

IIS permissions are set via folder properties -> “security”. Everyone who sits on the windows used to watch this tab, to change something in it in the daily “local” work there is rarely a need. And so – it occurred to me that this system is actually the Windows analogue of CHMOD, and for the web server is extremely important to configure it correctly.

Type “Google Docs” into a Google search, or “Google Docs” in Russian. This service is available online, you do not need to download special programs or install applications. It’s a free service from Google.

WordPress xml-rpc: protection against bruteforce

Since WordPress 3.5, any installation has xml-rpc enabled by default, which is a very useful thing that allows you to use mobile apps to maintain your site, among other things.

 

However, the use of xml-rpc is a huge black hole, attracting rogues of all stripes, which massively start bruteforcing your cozy site; I felt it on my skin, when the load on the hosting has increased by half.  So I disabled xml-rpc a long time ago and lived happily ever after.

 

But still the moment of truth came and after I bought a new Android phone, the Thing immediately started to master mobile WordPress. I had to turn this xml-rpc on; immediately the attacks began. In the end, the easiest solution was to create a white list of IP addresses to access the file xmlrpc.php

 

How to do this:

Выбор веб-сервера для WordPress под Windows

Бывают ситуации, когда интернет-сайт должен хостится на Windows Server. Это довольно редкий случай, но со мной это недавно произошло (первый раз за дюжину лет работы с веб-серверами): нужно было организовать хостинг сайта на железяке, где уже крутились всякие сервисы.

Первый вопрос, который встает – а какой собственно веб-сервер использовать? Можно, конечно, наколупать все на чистом Apache, но вручную все устанавливать и настраивать лень, тем более для относительно небольшого проекта.

Есть дохуятро готовых сборок – от знакомого многим Денвера и Open Server до 100500 вариантов *AMP’ов. Читать →

Выравнивание текста по ширине WordPress

В новых версиях WordPress разработчики почему-то убрали кнопку ‘выравнивание по ширине‘ или в разметке html атрибут align=justify. При наборе текста поста бросается в глаза неаккуратность форматирования, если весь тест прижат к одному краю. Такой стиль иногда выглядит стильно, но в большинство случаев человеку привычно читать текст, выровненный по ширине страницы. Как же это сделать в Вордпресс?

Upload images from phone to wordpress site

If you write articles on the site from a mobile device, it’s convenient to use the WordPress app. This app has a slightly reduced functionality, you can’t customize your site or make a design through it. But it will be quite handy to write a post with pictures and videos. I noticed an interesting feature when uploading photos from your phone to the site through the application of WordPress, there are two possibilities:
