There are some pre-installed user roles in wordpress. I am trying to allow wordpress contributors to upload files. I have many requests for guest author writers. I give the contributors role to them. But I faced one issue. which is I cannot allow wordpress contributors users to upload image files.
allow wordpress contributors to upload files
I want to achieve following two things:
I want to allow wordpress contributor users to allow images for their posts and preferably they shouldn’t be able to delete existing ones before submitting it for review.
I want to article should be in draft state but it cannot be edited by contributor users.
For image upload option to contributors
Add this code in your current theme’s functions.php
if ( current_user_can('contributor') && !current_user_can('upload_files') )
add_action('admin_init', 'allow_contributor_uploads');
function allow_contributor_uploads() {
$contributor = get_role('contributor');
$contributor->add_cap('upload_files');
}

This news is related to US election campaign. Boehner calls Cruz Lucifer in the flesh. Former House Speaker John Boehner is a retired politician, so he seems to have retired from being politic.
Boehner also said he was “texting buddies” with GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump and friends with former House colleague and fellow Ohioan, John Kasich.
As for the other remaining presidential candidates, Mr. Boehner praised the sincerity of Senator Bernie Sanders and called Gov. John Kasich, a fellow Ohioan, a friend. While he praised Hillary Clinton’s intelligence he did suggest — as Mr. Trump has been doing recently — that she is playing the gender card in this election, according to the report.
Boehner calls Cruz Lucifer
“Oh, I’m a woman, vote for me,” Mr. Boehner said, impersonating Mrs. Clinton.
But Mr. Boehner’s harshest assessment was saved for Mr. Cruz, who he has not forgiven for spearheading the 2013 government shutdown.
Cruz, who is widely disliked by his colleagues in Congress, on Thursday said Boehner had “allowed his inner Trump to come out” and charged his comments “reveal everything that is wrong and corrupt about Washington.”
“If you’re wondering who has actually stood up to Washington, I think John Boehner has made it crystal clear,” Cruz said.
And don’t rule out the possibility of an upset in the Democratic field either, the former Speaker warned. While Hillary Clinton will likely secure her party’s nomination, there’s always a chance of last-minute surprises — especially from Vice President Joe Biden.
This is most searched news in US for last two three days.
As if website hacking is not something new to you, to mention hacking of WordPress sites could just sound like another form of it. But you’re relying on the wonderful technology that WordPress provides to post, manage and display your website content could mean just being over –confident or outright ignorant about the perils that are already the matter of concern in the wide world of website design.
WordPress Hacking and you
Any website is hacked for a variety of reasons; to steal information, to place spammy links, to feed on the traffic a particular website has to ones advantage and much more. This is not very different with hacking of WordPress sites too. WordPress works almost entirely on its plugins and a well devised database to create a system where dynamic content is a cakewalk for anyone, who owns a website, to manage. Hackers simply find the vulnerability in a plugin, insert a malicious code or code edit and gain access to the database that manages all content. There, they can place SQL codes to manipulate the website’s content and pretty much have your website under their control.
Why WordPress is a point of concern?
Why WordPress is a point of concern
The turn of events, making a highly desirable and easy technology as WordPress, utilized for website designing from just being a blog building platform, to be a vulnerable target for hackers to break in to, is more of a recent development. The interesting facts related to this phenomenon are;
WordPress’s popularity has soared across the world and currently accounts for a huge share of websites built and maintained around the world.
Ease with WordPress in building websites has misled website owners to a false sense of security also. Most of this is seen among small businesses and startup companies who are also happy with the lesser investment it needs.
Following the last point, a large group of website owners don’t really religiously update their WordPress installations, whereby rendering themselves vulnerable to security loopholes that hackers utilize.
The third-party plugin developers are also risking their customers with plugins that has not been tested enough and neither been created with farsightedness.
Let’s try a more technical view of this scenario.
On a development level, bad coding can create vulnerabilities that hackers can use to their advantage
At the administrative level, applying poorly constructed passwords can make access to skilled hackers very easy
Plugins developed without a good amount of testing and a stable and fool-proof coding can compromise the website’s security on a whole
Website owners/managers who do not care to do regular WordPress updates puts themselves at great risk of falling prey to newer hacking attacks
So how do I safeguard myself?
It’s one thing to operate and manage WordPress modules at an operational level, where you essentially add and edit content for your website. When it comes to making your WordPress website safe from hackers, you definitely need to meet the experts and get things done. Nevertheless, you had better looked up for the following cues;
Are there pages in your websites failing to appear as expected?
Is your admin area failing to perform at any point?
Have you verified that new plugin that you have considered attaching to your website?
Are you getting a lot of spam emails lately?
If any of these cues turns on, it’s time for you to call for technical experts like hosting supporters to get your website checked. Few of the measures that can help in preserving your website are;
Take backup of your website data regularly
Change your passwords to stronger ones. The more mixed up and complex, the better
Use WordPress security keys. Your hosting support should know that in the file wp-config.php there is a place where you can enter encrypted security keys for information stored in your cookies. Go to https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/ to generate your keys and update your wp-config.php
Delete plugins that cannot be trusted or those that are not in use anymore
If you can make out from the Error log file, it will tell you which file is causing the issue. You can replace or remove those files
It is best to upgrade your WordPress to latest versions. This also includes your Worpress theme
Check for file permissions and upload permissions
Use some security plugins like the ones listed below
Wordfence
All in One Security Firewall
Sucuri Security
iThemes Security (formerly Better WP Security)
Change WordPress Table prefix. This is something your tech support understands and can help you with
If you have any contact forms in your website, crosscheck with developers if that form is built with core CT standards.
WordPress has made building and maintaining websites a wonderful experience for you. But as much a great tool it is, it can serve you with its caliber when you keep it updated and well-maintained. Your diligence will pay off with your WordPress installation giving you the great advantage of seamless website performance for a long time into the future.
Taking backups is like day-to-day task for every system admins. In this turotials we will tell you to take mysqldump and send email through linux system.
We can take mysql database backup using cron job and mysqldump command.
We created shell script called db-backup-email.sh. Which can be used on any linux based system. We tested this script on Red Hat,CentOS, Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu systems. It is working fine.
#!/bin/sh
MYSQLUSER=$1; #mysqluser
MYSQLPASS=$2; #mysqlpass
DBNAME=$3; #DBname
EMAIL=$4; #email to send
mysqldump -u $MYSQLUSER -p $MYSQLPASS $DBNAME | gzip > /tmp/$DBNAME.`date +%Y-%m-%d-%H`.sql.gz && echo "the mysqldump has been completed- status received at `date +%Y-%m-%d-%H`"|mail -s mysqldump-status -a "/tmp/$DBNAME.`date +%Y-%m-%d-%H`.sql.gz" $EMAIL
What is mysqldump?
The mysqldump client utility performs logical backups, producing a set of SQL statements that can be executed to reproduce the original database object definitions and table data. It dumps one or more MySQL databases for backup or transfer to another SQL server. The mysqldump command can also generate output in CSV, other delimited text, or XML format.
If you want to execute take dump only once than you can execute following mysqldump command.
mysqldump -u root -p sharetale | gzip > /tmp/serverDB.`date +%Y-%m-%d-%H`.sql.gz && echo "the mysqldump has been completed- status received at `date +%Y-%m-%d-%H`"|mail -s mysqldump-status -a "/tmp/serverDB.`date +%Y-%m-%d-%H`.sql.gz" purabdk@gmail.com
Many times E-mailing a database is a pretty bad idea, especially as it gets bigger and bigger, or security info is involved. But if your database is less than 5MB than you can send Database through email.
This script is for very small database. We just want to back it up every now and again in such a way that none technical members of the project can back up and restore.
There are some php scripts which can do same stuff but this script is much faster than other php script.
In the article we will tell you to install apache 2.4, php 5.5 and mysql on centos 6/7 with this we will guide you about installing phpmyadmin and related php and mysql modules.
LMAP is becoming more and more popular these days. People are using more vps and dedicated servers for their sites and applications. PHP backend is became more popular so here in this post we will tell you about installation on linux system’s.
Here I am using centos 6 for installation. From sept 2015 php 5.4 is no longer supported by PHP team so people are trying to install PHP 5.5+ version for good security and performance purpose on their linux servers.
install apache 2.4, php 5.5 and mysql on centos 6/7
Install Remi Repository
Remi is a repository where you can find the latest versions of the PHP in this repository we can find latest programs and dependencies.

# chkconfig --levels 235 httpd on
# chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on
I am taking daily mysqldump on my servers. I am always tring to speed up MySQL restore and backup using some tricks. Many times restoring mysql backup is like big pain. There will be many types of issues with restoring mysql dump to mysql server.
How can I speed up MySQL restore and backup?
Here is my trick to restore database dump fast.
You need to put following sql statement at the top of the dump SQL file.
SET @OLD_AUTOCOMMIT=@@AUTOCOMMIT, AUTOCOMMIT = 0;
SET @OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS=@@UNIQUE_CHECKS, UNIQUE_CHECKS = 0;
SET @OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@@FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS, FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0;
You need to put following sql statement at the end of the SQL file
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS;
SET UNIQUE_CHECKS=@OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS;
SET AUTOCOMMIT = @OLD_AUTOCOMMIT;
COMMIT;
Using above trick, I am able to restore any database much faster than earlier.
For more information you can look following URL:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/optimizing-innodb-bulk-data-loading.html
Lets talk about taking mysqldump faster.
There is utility called “MYDUMPER” which will take mysqldump much faster than mysqldump command. which is native command of mysql.
“Mydumper” and its companion “myloader”, are relatively new open
source database utilities written by Domas Mituzas and colleagues, providing
built-from-scratch implementations of mysqldump and mysql load
functionality. They clean up a bunch of command line inconsistencies
found in the mysql utilities, making them easier to script. They also fix
some errors and omissions. But their main feature is speed. By
paralleling the operation of dumping and loading database tables, quite dramatic
speed-up can be obtained.
The new Mydumper 0.9.1 version, which includes many new features and bug fixes, is now available. You can download the code from here.

We will give you 9 Easy Ways to Speed Up Your WordPress Site If you have been part of virtual world for some time, it’s least likely that you haven’t heard about WordPress, but did you know?
Speed Up Your WordPress
I think this might give you a hint of how popular WordPress is right now (and its popularity doesn’t seem to halt anytime soon!).
And oh, my bad, I forgot to mention these few bits:
Fact of the matter is that WordPress serves amazingly well as an efficient CMS platform, but it can slow down as well if it’s not optimized rightly. And trust me, you don’t want this. Why? Because a study by akamai.com shows that:
47% people showing up on a website expect the page to load in less than two seconds.
40% are likely to move elsewhere from a web page that takes over three seconds to load.
52% of online shoppers confessed to show loyalty to a site whose web pages load quickly.
Speed Up Your WordPress
So, here I am with these 9 tips to help you get the best of WordPress in speed.
1. Start with a fast and reliable web hosting company
One of the simplest (and yet overlooked!) ways to improve your WordPress site is to resort to a fast as well as reliable web host. I recommend not going for cheap shared hosting solutions, as those are really overcrowded and you might end up sharing your hosting resources with hundreds of other users.
So many hosting companies impose various limitations to their shared hosting plans, hosting (read hording!) hundreds of sites on just one server to slash hosting fees, which chokes the resources. The better alternative is to go for a VPS or managed WordPress hosting depending upon your site visitors, business niche and financial viability.
2. Choose an efficient framework/theme
This is where sometimes even people having years of experience can make a mistake, i.e. choosing an inefficient and heavy framework/theme. Many people trade speed and efficiency of a WordPress framework/theme with unnecessary features, which can affect them seriously.
It’s better to keep away from bloated frameworks loaded with fancy features (which a serious web contender seldom needs) that can delay the process of crawling your site. Similarly, too much plugins also take a toll on your site speed. So, make sure you equip your website with only what it needs to keep up with its functionality seamlessly.
3. Resort to helpful caching plugins
Talking of plugins; instead of falling for some fancy plugins that might choke the speed of your site; go for caching plugins, which are designed to help improve page loading time significantly. The best thing is that you can get all of them on WP.org free of cost and they are not complicated to use at all.
Based on my personal experiences, I would recommend W3 Total Cache rather than trying anything else. It is loaded with all features that can help you better your site speed. It doesn’t take either much of time or effort in downloading, installing and using it.
4. Make use of a CDN (Content Delivery Network)
You might have never heard of this, but all those big blogs out there that you like so much, are making use of CDN, also known as Content Delivery Network. It is one great way of reducing loading time of a webpage.
What it does is collects all the static files present on your website (images, CSS, javascript, etc), places them strategically on a collection of serves across the globe. Now whenever a visitor wants to download them, he is routed to the server located closest to him geographically, saving much of his time doing so.
There is also another aspect to this. Since the content of your site is being loaded from multiple servers in different locations, any traffic spike is least likely to bother visitors.
5. Leverage image optimization
Many of you must have used or at least heard of Smush.it, a wonderful image optimizer used by Yahoo. It helps you reduce image file size drastically, more importantly, without affecting quality of the image.
The good news is that you can do the same on WordPress with a plugin called WP-SmushIt for free. In fact, if you have it installed, it will optimize all images that you choose to add to your site by itself, automatically, leaving not much on you to worry about.
6. Don’t forget about WordPress database optimization
Fact of the matter is that you cannot expect a database-driven website (all CMS-based sites including WordPress) to work well without optimizing your database.
There are a few things you have to consider in this regard, starting from monitoring code for slow queries. For sites on VPS or dedicated server, enabling query caching and optimizing database server configuration does the trick.
Or, you can resort to a wondrous tool like WP-Optimize plugin, which will take care of all such concerns without even letting you know when and how it’s done.
7. Homepage needs optimization too
Call it tweaking if too much of ‘optimization’ is driving you crazy, but you can’t overlook it if you want your WordPress site speed up. Though whole of your site should be fast enough, but homepage remains the most important part of your site, as majority of people will land there more than anywhere else on a website. Some of the things you can do to optimize homepage of your website include:
Limit the number of posts to be seen on a page.
Display a brief excerpt as an intro with your posts rather than showing full post.
Cut down the number of social sharing widgets on homepage
In short, these are just a few things to help you make your homepage load quick; ultimately do everything possible to keep it this way.
8. Introduce LazyLoad
Well, this is another great way of serving your visitors with a quickly loading webpage. It involves loading only those images on a webpage that are above the fold (the images which visitors can see in their browser windows). The next set of images is loaded as soon as a visitor scrolls down, minimizing loading time ingeniously.
This not only results in your page loading quickly, but it also helps in saving your bandwidth, as less data is loaded for users who don’t scroll down through the end.\
9. Avoid Pingbacks and Tracbaks
WordPress is designed to respond to the requests from other blogs featuring pingbacks and trackbacks by default, which ends up harming more than charming when it comes to site speed. Turning this intrinsic feature off in your WordPress settings will not affect the backlinks strengthening the position of your website; it will just reduce extra labor.
Over to you now
This is where my list to improve WordPress site speed ends for now, but this can’t be all about it, surely. That’s why I am handing it over to you now; feel free to share your experiences and opinions with us on this in the comment section below.
