You’re fed up with lots of spammers. You want to list their IP address to impose an IP ban but there’s too many of them to be listed. Here’s an easier way of listing the IP addresses of spammers even if there are hundreds or thousands of spams in your Dashboard.

Replace all instances of a certain word, phrase or any string throughout your blog or WordPress-powered website without using any plugin.

Search engines see URLS with www and without www as different URLs. This can cause duplicate content issue and the link “votes” will be divided between two URLs. Impose your preferred URL format, either it’s with or without www, to avoid these problems and make your website more search engine friendly.

Insert a code in the .htaccess file to point the domain to a folder within the root directory instead of the root directory itself.

Prevent visitors from directly accessing the folders of your web hosting / website either by using HTML file index.htm or by inserting a simple code in the .htaccess file.

The search results of Google for the same keywords changed in just 30 minutes after I setup a 301 redirect. I didn’t know Google can be this fast.

Your dashboard said you cannot change your WordPress administrator username. Actually, you can, but you will not be using your dashboard. You will use the phpMyAdmin.

Display an “under construction” message to all site visitors except you by using the .htaccess to redirecting all visits coming from any IP address except your own while you are updating your website.
