I use what people who I communicate with use. In my country, it's Viber in 90% of the cases. Followed by the Facebook Messenger. Always on silent. I reply when I'm in front of a PC.

(Quote) Will get to write a review, but no affiliate income. Sucks! :) https://talk.lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/55089/#Comment_55089 And, if I'm very happy with the service and praise it a lot, people will still suspect it of being a paid …

Thank you all for taking the time and explaining the options. For now, I have opted to use Windscribe. Seems like the least hassle to get what I need. Seems stable and fast for now. 4$ per month is what it took. Decided to start playing with VPSs o…

(Quote) No, its more stupid than that. :) To use WP-CLI, one needs SSH access. In order to provide SSH access, many shared/reseller hosting providers ask: "OK, just give us one IP that you are going to connect to it with". I often work f…

(Quote) Was thinking more along the lines of a poorly secured/managed VPS getting used for sending cat-pics to all the LES members, without me even knowing. I don't see the danger for my computer getting much greater than without a VPS used as a VP…
-
(Quote) Thanks - I've just read the fine print. Suppose it's not a huge security risk. Would still be using passwords, and other precautions. To sum it up, as it is for now, if I got it right: Option a) Windscribe - out of the box (VPN), boils dow…

(Quote) Sorry if it's a stupid question - but in terms of VPS security - patches, updates, firewall? Is that a set-and-forget thing if I just use debian/ubuntu and install&configure wireguard?
-
(Quote) I'll edit the original post - My knowledge & experience with configuring and managing a VPS is next to none. Would like to avoid any (potential) problems for myself, and/or for the VPS provider. :) This doesn't exclude a VPS altogether,…

(Quote) How will this change that? :) The others will keep it up. But if you can't compete with affiliate rates, it's probably better to quit, and call it "not paying for reviews" (to get at least some marketing boost out of it).
-
It often (not always) boils down to cutting costs. But always sounds good when explained using that - "not paying for reviews". :)
-
(Quote) I tend to avoid newly made plugins (50 installs, 2 reviews so far). Unless I have a very good reason to trust them. This one looks interesting. It promises some options I hadn't seen with other such plugins. Like: * Choosing different prov…
-
Just to confirm - using AIO WP Migration plugin free version, I have managed to clone a site - so migration + (sub)domain change. At the destination: * Created a subdomain (temp.mydomain.com) - adding it's A record to Cloudflare DNS. * installed S…
-
For what it's worth, I've never clicked on categories, or tags, from the sidebar. Always went for categories from the top menu.

(Quote) So... a Russian admin? Nice - I knew it! :)
-
(Quote) Live long and prosper. :)
-
(Quote) There are other things to consider. The less a person is knowledgeable, the more important these are: * The amount of "hand-holding" offered by the tech. support. * Reputation (marketing/advertising) - if people feel something is …
-
Some top class tech. support (and WP developer) guys from my country are hired by Kinsta and Cloudways. Not my cup of tea, but paying a bit more for a service one is happy with isn't completely insane. And it's not EIG, it is relatively decent host…

(Quote) Without such article, the whole Wiki wouldn't have any sense.

(Quote) WP started as an idiot-friendly tool. And then got pushed to be everything to everyone tool, and greatly influenced by the Automattic company (owned by one of the "founders"). Both these things have influenced some decisions that a…
-
Editing wp-config goes without saying. But for database - problem occurs even when importing/exporting database using the Terminal. mysqldump -p -u old_db_user old_database > database_export.sql and mysql -p -u new_db_user new_database < dat…
-
(Quote) And you assume that plugin coders who haven't been caught with blunders are more responsible? :) I understand that, but aren't that optimistic. It's all bullshit, and surprisingly chaotic for all I can tell ("fake it 'till you make it&…
-
(Quote) If you look hard enough, I don't think you will find a plugin (or theme, or WP version) that hasn't had at least some vulnerabilities sometime. The more popular it is, the more likely it is to have their vulnerabilities figured out. The goo…
-
(Quote) Thanks - just to confirm: this works even when changing domains?
-
(Quote) I'd like to be able to do it myself - quickly, and as conveniently as possible. For when I need it. With Softaculous not working on both MyW.pt (DirectAdmin), and HostMantis (cPanel) - suppose my options are either a plugin, or WP CLI. But …
-
(Quote) Passwords are stored in hash in the database. And - Easy WP SMTP plugin does encrypt your email password. So both @jarland and I can sleep peacefully. :)
-
(Quote) I just got a notification: "You are doing a cloning / domain change (you idiot!), so pay some moneys for our migration add-on tool, or it won't work." And it didn't. ~~But what does work is this: On the destination server: 1. Cr…
-
(Quote) Still requires a "manual" DB search/replace. Which beats the point of using a plugin IMO - since that's the very thing I was trying to avoid - since it doesn't seem to "get" everything. 99.99%, but not everything.
-
(Quote) Even if domain is changed? Like dev.x.com to www.x.com?
-
(Quote) Can it clone a site from dev.example.com on server one, to www.example.com on server two?
-
Thanks. Though, AIO WP Migration has a very shady pricing policy. The only way I could find a price was by first installing the plugin, and then it would take me to the site page with prices (still unclear - what is the difference between my own si…
-
Well, Softaculous has been refusing to work today. Not sure if it is software, or firewall related. While I'm waiting to see if tech. support can do anything, just to ask: what plugin for WP website migration would you recommend? I've got a few dev…
