Hey, for backup and general security I use Better WP Security. Check out managewp.com for the rest of your qeustion.
About plugin, there is no way to test them all. When I need something, I search for plugin and test it, if it works works, if not I move.

Thanks very much for your advice!
manageWP looks awesome, but the options aren't affordable, looked for other options, found nothing so far, I'll keep looking...
About the plugins, when someone invents a better way to find the right ones for each project, they will get rich...

Thanks again!

It really does not matter, I use softaculous when I can, when I can't I install it manually.

P.S. Just make sure you change database prefix from default one, wp_ to something else.

To something random, like

wdbp2_ or 4mt452_ or something like that.

It affects your WP security. Everyting will be the same, but you have just one step more to ensure intrusion safe enviroment. Now attacker does not know what is the db prefix of your website and it's harder for him to attack.

Hello guys! I have a site qumodo. com and I am trying to edit my theme. I am able to edit everything EXCEPT everything in the area where the phone is. Paragraph, title etc.

How can I edit this? When I go to "Pages" I go to the homepage and it shows all the code except for that portion. Original can you lend a hand? Thanks!

Reply to my question OriginalEXE bro.

Hey buddy, how can one simply copy paste EVERYTHING from one WP site to another? I don't mind creating one from scratch but if I have to put in the same settings with the same plugins and everything, I'm going to waste a lot of time doing things repetitively, any way I can do this faster?

1) Is there a plugin or an easy method to change the database name for added security?
2) What's the best practise for setting up a wp site? Do you create the wp under andother folder and put up a under construction html on \public_html folder? then copy it over to \public_html after finishing coding it and rename all the relevant address ?

Great thread!

I have a question. I have a lyric database in sql format and csv. Do you know if there's a way to import each lyric directly into posts? Heard there's a plugin but not sure if the data can be imported into post form.

Hole you can advise

Yes, you can. You can use phpMyAdmin to backup and restore database, and then just change site url in database (again using phpMyAdmin). Or maybe you can find plugin for that, never needed it though.

Of ocurse, later copy files to new directory.

For the firs question, I always recommend Better WP Security for securing the whole wp installation. I saw many paid security plugins that do not have half functions this plugin has.

2.9 I use wamp and develop everythign on my local server, and then upload finished product on server.

That really depends on the database strucutre that contains lyrics. I believe you will have to go for a custom made solution. But try playing with plugins, I know there are some csv importers for WordPress.

OrginalEXE is a great member. He helped me out almost instantly and I am more than happy. I'm going to PM you for a quick question and I'm out of your hair.

EDIT: Figured it out. Thank you!

Hey OriginalEXE,

Please look at the code at : http://pastebin.com/GVfatYeC (goes in Index.php and css)and http://pastebin.com/uynrvJfw (goes in functions.php)

These codes are of the featured post carousal or box.

I have to implement it on the theme shared here : http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...lean-responsive-wp-magazine-review-theme.html

It would be great if you can provide me with the customized css and function for the same.

Best regards,
SahL
