ISSUE: If you own a wordpress site you know its a constant battle to prevent Robots and Spammers some of the key issues are Preventing Invalid Login, Server Errors, Slowness and DDoS attacks. and scanning harmful links

SOLUTION: After searching for several anti-virus plugin for WordPress I finally found one that protects all my websites, form these attacks in addition it also has a falcon setting to increase the speed of your website.

You can download a copy of the plugin here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/

The settings I suggest is after 5 invalid logins, or password recovery attempts block the user for 6 hours, enable the falcon settings under performance and enable auto update. 

These settings have prevented a huge number of attacks on my sites. 

How to remove the comments TEXT BOX from your WORDPRESS pages

ISSUE: When creating new pages in wordpress they show the following comments box. If you are like me you will not see any reason why someone would allow comments on a static wordpress page, here is what shows up at the bottom of all your wordpress pages:

SOLUTION:

1. Login to your wordpress site

2. go under PAGES > ALL PAGES 

3. hover over or select all the pages you want to make the change to

4. click "Quick Edit" 

5. unheck the box for "Allow comments" 

Strange that this option is nowhere else in WordPress but here: 

I hope this helps anyone that is having a problem locating that option. I had to search all over the place to find it. 

The simple way to publish an MP3 audio file in to youtube, as a youtube video with a JPEG cover and TEXT

There are many different ways to do this.

ISSUE:

My friends ask me all the time about how to do this, How do i upload a mp3 file into youtube? so they can share it online.


QUICK SIMPLE SOLUTION:

I found the quickest way instead of downloading any software or using windows media to convert the file into a video is simply to use a webbased online application here are a few of them and they tend to work great!

http://www.youtube-mp3.org/
http://www.vidtomp3.com/
http://convert2mp3.net/en/

The third one: http://convert2mp3.net/en/ i find to be the best, some actually allow you to upload the file directly into your youtube account bypassing the possibility of having to download and then upload the mp3 witch now is a mpeg4, avi or another video format.

Wordpress Hangs on Adding new Menu Item

ISSUE:

When you go into the admin panel of your wordpress site and try to add a new link to the menu, after hitting "Add to Menu" it just sits there loading and nothing happens.

When I disable ALL plugins and try again it works but I wanted to pin point the plugin that was causing the issue....

SOLUTION:

I found that the plugin creating the error is:
Web Ninja Auto Tagging SystemThis plugin will automatically make tags with the tagthe.net and yahoo yql services when you save or update a post. Also has the option for re-tagging all post.
Disabling that plugin will allow you to start adding new items

Finally Google Chrome Resolving Host issue resolved!!!

I came across this issue a few weeks ago, were Google Chrome just sits on "Resolving Host" I would see this at the bottom left hand corner, for over 20 seconds sometimes even minutes. I tried everything to Resolve this issue, here is a list of all the things I tried:

1. Change DNS settings to Google 8.8.8.8 secondary  8.8.4.4
2. Tried changing DNS to Comcast (my local ISP) 75.75.75.75 secondary 75.75.76.76
3. Ran AVG Virus scan and Optimization
4. Ran Norton Virus scan and Network Check
5. Tried diffrent Internet Connections Timewarner, and Comcast 
6. MalwareBytes Scan
7. Uninstalled many applications that I thought my interfere with my connection
8. Reset the default settings in Google Chrome
9. Checked the Proxy settings in Chrome and tried several configurations 

Solution: 
None of this worked Here is the only thing that seems to fix it after several frustration hours trying to get this to work. I decided to set a Static IP instead of a dynamic IP inside my connection settings. After doing this my browser went back to Normal or maybe even faster its extremely fast!!! I'm running on a T1 line, Windows 7 with 8GB of RAM I didn't see this type of solution anywhere online so I hope it helps anyone having this issue. 

Overall I don't know exactly what caused the issue, but setting a STATIC IP was the only fix that did the trick.
