Web Hosting Tips & Resources From NameHero
While updating some of my older WordPress posts, I noticed that some of the code I’d used that worked with the older classic editor no longer works with Gutenberg. Even though I admitted my mistake and embraced Gutenberg, it’s annoying that the two filters I used no longer work. In this article, I’ll document three […]
If you’ve logged into the section of Cloudflare that deals with security and managed rules, you might see a new notification about migrating to the new Cloudflare managed rules interface. But it’s not just the interface that’s different. Cloudflare is changing the backend architecture of its managed rules implementation, and it’s essential to know how […]
I’m updating a bunch of older posts on my site, and I’m trying to see which posts have gone the longest without modifications. Unfortunately, WordPress’s list of posts and pages can only be sorted by “Date”, which means the date of publication. There’s no in-built way to create a new column called “Modified Date” and […]
WordPress sends us notifications – comment form submissions, plugin and theme updates, site updates, and more. Moreover, many plugins use the WordPress mailing subsystem so that you can receive all kinds of e-mails. And not just you as the administrator, but your users as well, and maybe even your subscribers. So it’s essential to know […]
WordPress managers spend a lot of time, money, and effort designing and maintaining security solutions.

It seems that with every WordPress version, we get more formatting options for Gutenberg blocks. Recently we got some new typography options with custom dimension settings (that seem buggy at the moment), and I can foresee it getting much more detailed in the future. However, it’ll never match the flexibility of full CSS editing, and […]
I freely admit that fully managed WordPress hosting plans look very attractive. They have dedicated resources for each WordPress site and guarantee a degree of performance that no shared hosting platform can match. Plus, they take care of security, backups, and all other routine maintenance tasks you would typically have to do by yourself. But […]
For those of us who manage our clients’ websites, we create new WordPress websites all the time. Perhaps you’re starting one from scratch for a customer or are migrating to a new server and need to re-create the same setup. For everyone like this, it can be a pain to install a bunch of WordPress […]
I’d recently written about how to write so that your content compares favorably with AI. The idea was that since AI can only synthesize what’s already out there, the way forward is to create content that can’t be synthesized. Opinions and writing in the first person are the best ways to do this. However, I […]
