yep, checked again. Not a single blog post I have is being picked up by Google.

Thanks WordPress for killing my Permalink feature WITHIN your own CMS tool. Now that it’s broke, I will never get indexed.

clearing out both .htaccess’s

Now I don’t get the error from Settings>>Permalinks, now it shows my website theme.

takes me to this url (xxxx is site name)
https://www.XXXXX.com/wp-admin/options-permalink.php/

and nothing happens.

Seriously, how can WordPress not work around this type of garbage…

I assume:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

goes in the wp-admin, but I’ve tried both root and wp-admin. It simply doesn’t work.

tried the 666 CHMOD, too.

Thanks to this crap, I can’t get my site indexed properly.

mod_rewrite module is installed

Used Mvburgos’s snip above.

Does not work.

turned off all plugins, still doesn’t work.

Nice clean design!

I have a question. Are your WP blog posts automatically feeding Google+? If so, how are you doing that?

Thanks for the information.

Years ago I used to use a software I installed on my server called “MajorDomo”. To date it is still one of the best–but no longer updated. Due to that I’m too afraid to install it without knowing what holes might be in the code.

Does MailChimp work outside of WP? I’ve never heard of them.

Newsletter plugin you mentioned above is horrible.

Actually not a single one of them truly work and a all but one allows ‘you’ the add your subscribers.

No one has yet been able to make a good newsletter plugin. I just wanted someone to send out to about 100 other sites, and I need to add those emails.

Yet, no one makes a plugin that’s SMTP and allows this feature.

Guess not many use SEO Plugin

No one? ??

You all have provided me a lot of resources and I have found one that does in fact help protect (not entirely) but does help by using what MickeyRoush has (basically) said.

I have the page setup to block all users if cookie is not found within the users browser (I have also denied being able to read any .htaccess files). Instead if you want to update content you need a specific url that gives you the cookie and then allowing you access to the admin page. I know it’s not ‘that’ secure, but I’m trying. I have gone through the entire site and plugged up every hole possible, along with doing scans on sql files and other means of protecting the site.

I have also turned off access to the plugins folder as well as the content folder by turning off indexing in those areas.

The Joomla idea seems great but unfortunately I can’t view the code to to see how safe the plugin is — without purchasing it. So, I think that one is out of the question. It seems like a good plugin, but without seeing its code first I can’t trust it.

“That’s something you really need to be told?” At what point did you read that as I was talking about the account?

When installing WP I think there should be a feature that asks the installer what they would like the admin folder called, instead of the default wp-admin. That’s what I meant by admin login url, not the account name.

Thank you for the links — my anger is getting the best of me and just some common sense behind the installation (like mentioned above) would have been a nice thought to the installation. Changing the name of the folder just causes a lot more issues for the end-user.

I have installed security plugins along with the login locker. I just want to avoid the wp-admin folder from even being seen.

I have found one method, so far. However you have provided some links I am reading over now, and am going to look further into this.

My apologies for my frustration, I’m simply trying to protect my site.

DO NOT use this METHOD if are not using IE. You will NOT be able to upload images to your articles.

Chalk up another fail to WordPress for using flash uploader.

Eesh, very dead place to be posting, what happened to wordpress these days ??

Time to find a new CMS
