    Manually Disabling a WordPress Plugin When Dealing With a Malfunction

    There are a few reasons you may want to disable a WordPress plugin. Usually, getting this done is as easy as logging into your WordPress dashboard, selecting Plugins, and clicking Deactivate. This, of course, is the way to do things when all aspects of your system are working properly. However, sometimes a malfunctioning plugin may prevent you from disabling an unwanted plugin this way or even logging into the dashboard.

    To deal with this problem you will have to manually disable the problematic plugin. It may sound complicated, but with a bit of work it’s easy to manually disable the plugin and get back to using your WordPress site the way you want, free of any malfunctions.

    There are two ways to do this. First, you can disable the files, or you have the option of disabling the database entries.

    To disable the files, access your filesystem through the control panel’s file manager, FTP, or direct shell access with SSH. Navigate to /wp-content/plugins, then find the directory or folder of the plugin you wish to delete. Rename it to something different.

    Once you’ve done this you should be able to log in to WordPress.

    If you want to disable the database entry, access the databse through the command line via SSH, or through an interface like phpMyAdmin.

    Find the database table labeled wp_options, then the row labeled active_plugins.You will see the data as a string like a:1:{i:0;s:19:”badplugin/badplugin.php”;}. Change the a:1 to a:0, thus deactivating the plugin, then save your changes.

    Whatever method you choose, once the plugin is disabled you can log in, and try to fix it, or delete it and find a new one!

    Tips for Web Application Security

    July 8, 2015 — by Andreas — 0

    Are you running web applications on your website? The majority of websites rely on applications for some reason. These programs provide a lot of benefit to website owners!

    Most web applications depend on server-side scripting, which can lead to problems with website security. You may rely on these web applications for functionality so it makes sense to use them, but it is important to implement security measures for your protection, and to keep your data safe from nefarious people.

    Before you run a web app, scan it for any vulnerabilities that could leave an open door to your data. This is an easy step and something that can be done in no time at all, especially if you use a free or open source scanner to check out your app. An application firewall gives you added security, so make sure you are using one for your site – there’s nothing to lose, but a lot to gain by following this rule!

    When choosing web applications make sure that they are free of bugs, and easily exploitable issues. How can you be sure that a web application is safe to use? Be sure to work with trustworthy developers for new products and ensure that you are also working with top-notch commercial and open source products for existing apps. If you are developing your own web applications, take the necessary precautions to ensure you are not leaving vulnerabilities in your app.

    You should look at the permissions of your web apps to ensure that they are all carefully calibrated. Make sure files have permissions that restrict writing and executing to the server itself. Only authorized users should be able to access your file, so keep an eye on this list. If you keep authorized users down, there are fewer opportunities for people to maliciously handle your files.

    Make sure you regularly update any and all web applications you are using. If a developer finds a security problem he or she will typically release a patched update that closes whatever security hole is open. Updating apps is an easy way to promote good security practices, without taking much time out of your day. People with bad intentions rely on website owners to avoid scheduling updates – don’t fall into this trap!

    There is no need to shy away from using web applications out of fear of security problems – just make sure that you are careful and you should be able to get the most from web apps without any of the problems. Focus on strong security practices, selecting high-quality apps, and doing your homework to ensure that you have identified and dealt with potential vulnerabilities, and you can get the benefits of web apps without the risks.

    How Incremental Backup Can Help You

    Backups are not necessarily a glamorous function but they are definitely needed – without a good backup, your company will be lost if a failure, data breach, or other issue occurs. Companies need backups, and they need them to work. A blank backup is useless, after all!

    The first step to generating a good backup system is to make sure you have all of the pertinent information about what you are backing up and why. Make this a team effort – different people will have varying perspectives on what data is important enough to be backed up, so this should be taken into consideration. Map out your systems carefully and take your time.

    Once you know what you are backing up, prioritize it. Some of your data is likely less important than other systems. For instance, most companies will want – and need – their email system to be up and running at all times. By establishing what recovery times are acceptable for what features, you will be able to keep your business functioning in the event of a problem requiring backup.

    A lot of companies have relied on file-level backup, which enables the backup server to retrieve files from certain specified directories. In this case, recovery time can be prolonged as the operating system and applications have to be reinstalled before actual data recovery can start. The more data that has to be recovered, the longer it will take, losing you time and money.

    Incremental backup can be a much better choice for lots of companies. The entire environment, from operating system to files and applications, is backed up, so in the event of a crash, the restore will bring your data back to what it was before the problem took place, making for a much quicker recovery time.

    Incremental backup is one of the best things you can do to keep your company functioning well, so as you are setting up your backup system, keep it in mind as a viable option for handling data.
