Restrict directory access by IP address?

Overview

This can be a very effective way to protect your Joomla! administrator directory. Any other directory in public_html can be protected in the same way. This method only works if you have a static IP address assigned to you. Anyone attempting to browse such directories using a different IP Address will get a 403 Forbidden error.

Directions

1. In the directory you wish to protect, open (or create) a file called, .htaccess. (Note the dot at the beginning of the file name.)

2. Add the following code to this file, replacing 100.100.100.100 in this example with the static IP address you plan to allow:

<Limit GET>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 100.100.100.100
</Limit>

3. Optional: You can enter partial IP Addresses, such as, 100.100.100. This allows access to a range of addresses.

4. Optional: You can add multiple addresses by separating them with comma’s.

100.100.100.101, 100.100.100.102

Creating Horizontal Menus

Horizontal Menus are an excellent way to create a menu of categories or Pages, highlighting specific areas of interest within your website. Many web designers place a horizontal menu under the header, where they draw the eye.

Horizontal menus are created with the HTML List feature. Yes, while they are horizontal instead of vertical, like typical lists, they are still a list. CSS presentation styles allow us to set the list to run on one line instead of a separate line for each list item.

Since horizontal menus are simply lists in a horizontal line, let’s start the process with a list.

Creating a Horizontal Menu

Below is the simple list for our horizontal menu. We recommend you keep your list small as too many will stretch wide across the screen and may cause some layout problems. We’ve enclosed the list in a division called navmenu.

<div id="navmenu">
<ul>
	<li><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">HOME</a></li>
	<li><a href="wordpress/recipes/">RECIPES</a></li>
	<li><a href="wordpress/travel/">TRAVEL</a></li>
	<li><a href="http://www.wordpress.org">WORDPRESS</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

As you can see, within our list we’ve included a PHP tag for the “home page” and several categories, as well as a link to WordPress, those helpful folks. The list would look like this, in its simplest form (as styled by the Codex):

• HOME
• RECIPES
• TRAVEL
• WORDPRESS

You can also use the wp_list_cats() template tag to list your categories. If you just want categories 1, 3, 4, and 5 listed and the rest excluded, your list might look like this:

<div id="navmenu">
<ul>
 <li><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">HOME</a></li>
<?php list_cats('FALSE', '',
                '', '', TRUE, FALSE,
                FALSE, TRUE, TRUE,
                FALSE, , '', ,
                '', '', '2,6,7,8,9,10,11,12',
                FALSE); ?>
 <li><a href="http://www.wordpress.org">WORDPRESS</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

The place to put your new list might be just under the header. In WordPress v1.5, open the header.php file in the WordPress Theme folder you are using. Paste the code at the bottom of the file after the header DIV and then save the file.

In WordPress v1.2, open the index.php file and look for the end of the header section and place your list code there.

Applying the CSS

By default, a list runs vertically, each item on its own line. It also includes an image, known as a bullet, before each line. In your stylesheet, we need to add a reference to the navmenu and the first step is to remove the bullet and set our margins and padding to zero for the whole list.

#navmenu ul {margin: 0; padding: 0;
	list-style-type: none; list-style-image: none; }

If you save and upload your stylesheet, then refresh the test page in your web page browser, you would see that your list now has no bullets and no indents, if everything is working right.

Now, we need to add the technique that will set this list into a horizontal line. We need to add a style reference to the list item itself.

#navmenu ul {margin: 0; padding: 0;
	list-style-type: none; list-style-image: none; }
#navmenu li {display: inline; }

Because these are links, we have to take a moment to clean up the look of the links. There are many things you can do to style this list, but for now, let’s add some space to the list of links so they aren’t crowded together and remove the default link underline and have the link change colors when the mouse moves over it.

#navmenu ul {margin: 0; padding: 0;
	list-style-type: none; list-style-image: none; }
#navmenu li {display: inline; padding: 5px 20px 5px 20px}
#navmenu a {text-decoration:none; color: blue; }
#navmenu a:hover {color: purple; }

Okay, we can’t resist. Let’s take this another step further and give our new horizontal menu list some real jazz. See if you can tell what is being done to change the look.

#navmenu ul {margin: 0; padding: 0;
	list-style-type: none; list-style-image: none; }
#navmenu li {display: inline; }
#navmenu ul li a {text-decoration:none;  margin: 4px;
	padding: 5px 20px 5px 20px; color: blue;
	background: pink;}
#navmenu ul li a:hover {color: purple;
	background: yellow; }

Menggunakan custom value untuk image dan link

$link = get_post_custom_values(“Link”);
$image = get_post_custom_values(“Image”);
$i=0;
foreach ($image as $imageitem) {
?>
<a href=”http://<?php echo $link[$i]; ?>” target=”_blank”>
<img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/images/<?php echo $imageitem; ?>” hspace=”50″></a>

<?php $i=$i+1;
}

Membuat nama blog baru di wordpress

Bisakah mengganti namablog.wordpress.com menjadi namaku.wordpress.com ?

Jawabannya bisa, tapi tidak secara langsung.

Untuk merubah namablog, bisa dilakukan dengan metode export import.

Pertama, export data di blog lama (misal namablog.wordpress.com). Caranya, setelah login > klik menu manage > export > simpan di komputer.

Kedua, buat nama blog baru, contohnya namaku.wordpress.com. Tetap di blog namaku.wordpress.com, klik menu manage > import > pilih data dari blog lama dan upload.

Selesai. Blog baru telah terisi dengan data dari blog lama. Jika kemudian blog lama tidak dipakai lagi, blog tersebut bisa kita hapus melalui menu : Setting > Delete Blog.
