Whoops, I changed my WordPress URL

March 16, 2019 No Comments

If you have accidentally changed the WordPress Site address in General Settings and now cannot access your site, this post is for you.

Using FTP, open up the wp-config.php file found in the root of your website files, edit it with a notepad program,

and paste these lines (with your site name) into it after the initial commenting:

define('WP_HOME', 'http://sitename.com');
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://sitename.com');

Thats it! It will essentially hard code the two URLs into WordPress so it can no longer be changed via the UI.

Turning off Comments in WordPress by default

September 27, 2012 No Comments

You can remove that line of code if you want to disable comment on pages.

Instead you can “comment out” the line of code thus:

<?php// comments_template( '', true ); ?>

You can remove the “//” part when you want to turn on comments on pages.

Removing ‘Private’ from a title in WordPress

There are many ways to do this, however, my favorite is to add the following at the bottom of the functions.php file in WordPress:

<?php function bfa_remove_word_private($string) { $string = str_ireplace(“private: “, “”, $string); return $string; } add_filter(‘the_title’, ‘bfa_remove_word_private’); ?>
