docker, kubernetes, Migration, redirection error, Wordpress
No comments
Recently I tried to migrate Wordpress website into Kubernetes environment using Docker. After I did set them all I got an error that redirects a new domain to an old domain. So I checked all the sources and database records. But there was nothing related to the old domain.
The solution was too simple. I needed to clean up Browser Cache.

htaccess, Wordpress, xmlrpc attack, xmlrpc.php
No comments
I like to post an article to wordpress through Byword or Ulysses. And those tools use wordpress’s xmlrpc.php.
By the way if you use xmlrpc.php with your own server , you might face up to infinite attacks which target xmlrpc.php. And I horribly experience it.
If you want to independently operate your wordpress blog on your own server , I recommend to block xmlrpc.php access from anonymous users with the code below.
<FilesMatch "xmlrpc\.php$">
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from [Your IP address] // Allow the only your ip address
</FilesMatch>
Put the code above into your .htaccess file in the root folder of wordpress.

Block Registering Wordpress, CleanTalk, Spambot, Wordpress
No comments
I have used many kind of spam filtering plugins. I also operate woocommerce based wordpress website and then the problem I met on it was spambots to try registering my website.
So I tried some free plugins which use CAPTCHA. But, I couldn’t be satisfied with it, because it wasn’t capatible with my wordpress theme.
Also, it wasn’t perfect to block spams. So I had to manually remove those spam users.
After that I tried to find an alternative plugin and I chose CleanTalk which is great. Through the trial period it perfectly blocked spams and I haven’t got any frustration through it. Additionally it is fully compatible with my wordpress theme.
If you have had a bad experience on spambots which tries to register your wordpress website, I recommend CleanTalk plugn.
