SSL When Using A Reverse Proxy
If WordPress is hosted behind a reverse proxy that provides SSL, but is hosted itself without SSL, these options will initially send any requests into an infinite redirect loop. To avoid this, you may configure WordPress to recognize the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO header (assuming you have properly configured the reverse proxy to set that header).
define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);
// in some setups HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO might contain
// a comma-separated list e.g. http,https
// so check for https existence
if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'], 'https') !== false)
$_SERVER['HTTPS']='on';

Disable Default Fullscreen Edit Mode
You’ll need to simply enter the following code in your WordPress theme’s functions.php file, or in a site-specific plugin. You can also use the custom code snippets plugin to add this code to your site without conflicts.
if (is_admin()) {
function jba_disable_editor_fullscreen_by_default() {
$script = "jQuery( window ).load(function() { const isFullscreenMode = wp.data.select( 'core/edit-post' ).isFeatureActive( 'fullscreenMode' ); if ( isFullscreenMode ) { wp.data.dispatch( 'core/edit-post' ).toggleFeature( 'fullscreenMode' ); } });";
wp_add_inline_script( 'wp-blocks', $script );
}

Caching
Here is a quick list of the different types of caching we can identify:
- Page cache: it happens on the server and stores the entire HTML of a page (as WP Rocket does);
- Browser cache: it keeps storing the HTML but occurs on the browser;
- Object cache: it stores database queries;
- Bytecode cache: it's a PHP extension and stores precompiled script bytecode in the memory;
- CDN cache: it occurs on the CDN-side and stores the HTML and all other static files (images, CSS and JS);
- Reverse proxy cache: it happens on the server's side and stores all its responses to the client's server.

Accessibility Skip To Main Content
One of the earliest solutions in all of web accessibility was the "skip to main content" link, a same page link at the top of the page that enables users to skip past navigation links and go straight to the main content of the web page. Despite the fact that these links have been in use since the early 1990's, they actually aren't implemented well at all by browsers. They can be a huge benefit to sighted non-mousers (navigating by keyboard) but they don't work for these users in any browser other than Firefox and Internet Explorer, and they don't even work in IE unless link targets have tabindex="0".

How to add more Columns
The default columns block uses two columns, but you can add up to six columns in one column block.
To increase the number of columns, click somewhere in the column block but outside of the blocks within it. You'll see the settings in the sidebar switch from the Document settings to the Block settings revealing extra options. You can use the slider or the number input to adjust the number of columns from 2-6.

CSS clamp()
CSS clamp is a function that sets responsive unit sizes without any media queries. The function takes 3 parameters in this order:
- min - where to start scaling from.
- viewport width - the range determines how fast the min scales to the max based on the screen getting larger.
- max - when to stop scaling.

HOWTO: Disable wp-cron.php WP_CRON
WordPress uses a file called wp-cron.php as a virtual cron job, or scheduled task in order to automate things like publishing scheduled posts, checking for plugin or theme updates, sending email notifications and more.
By default WordPress is set up to call wp-cron.php every time someone visits your WordPress website when a scheduled task is present, to basically ask "is it time to do anything yet?".
On low traffic sites this is perfectly fine, but when visitors roll in, checking multiple times for scheduled tasks can be very inefficient and lead to resource usage problems for your server, plus make your website load slower.
To fix this, change the following setting in your wp-config.php file...
define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);
Then, create a cron job to call the script...
crontab -e @hourly cd /var/www/website.co.uk/html/ && sudo -u www-data php wp-cron.php
or
@hourly curl --silent https://www.website.co.uk/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron

User List
sudo -u www-data wp user list
User Reset Password
1. Move into the /wordpress directory and type
sudo -u www-data wp user list
to see all users. Find the ID of the user you'd like to update.
2. Then, update the user
sudo -u www-data wp user update 1 --user_pass=$UP3RstrongP4$$w0rd
replacing "1" with the id of the user you want to update.
Check A Post For Type
sudo -u www-data wp post get 230
Show WordPress URL
wp option get home wp option get siteurl
Change WordPress URL
wp option update home 'http://example.com' wp option update siteurl 'http://example.com'
Search and Replace and View Changes
sudo -u www-data wp search-replace 'Lorem ' 'Lorum ' --dry-run --report-changed-only --log
Search and Replace WordPress Database Change URL
sudo -u wpusername wp search-replace 'http://test.domain.co.uk' 'http://www.domain.co.uk' --dry-run sudo -u wpusername wp search-replace 'http://test.domain.co.uk' 'http://www.domain.co.uk'
or for auto SSL sites...
sudo -u wpusername wp search-replace 'http://test.domain.co.uk' 'https://www.domain.co.uk' --dry-run sudo -u wpusername wp search-replace 'http://test.domain.co.uk' 'https://www.domain.co.uk'
Export All Users
This will export all users to a CSV...
sudo -u daemon -E wp --path=/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/2 user list --format=csv >user_list.csv
Block A User
- change their password
- change their role
- change their email address
export WP_CLI_CACHE_DIR=/var/www/www.domain.co.uk/.wp-cli/cache/ sudo -u www-data wp --path=/var/www/www.domain.co.uk/html/ user list sudo -u www-data wp --path=/var/www/www.domain.co.uk/html/ user update 2 --user_pass=iphoh3Qu --skip-email sudo -u www-data wp --path=/var/www/www.domain.co.uk/html/ user update 2 --role= --skip-email sudo -u www-data wp --path=/var/www/www.domain.co.uk/html/ user update 2 --user_email=different.email@domain.co.uk --skip-email sudo -u www-data wp --path=/var/www/www.domain.co.uk/html/ user list
Delete All Subscribers
For this trick, you have to combine 2 commands in to 1... generate the list of users + feed that result to the delete command...
$ wp user delete $(wp user list --role=subscriber --field=ID) --reassign=2
Do the Export All Users first!
This is an example from a Bitnami WordPress install, using the user 'daemon' and the full path for completeness...
sudo -u daemon -E wp --path=/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/2 user delete $(sudo -u daemon -E wp --path=/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/2 user list --role=subscriber --field=ID) --reassign=23
Perform Commands Remotely
WP-CLI accepts an --ssh=[<scheme>][<user>@]<host>[:<port>][<path>] global parameter for running a command against a remote WordPress install.
First, install wp-cli on your computer...
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tiagohillebrandt/wp-cli sudo apt-get -y install wp-cli sudo -u www-data wp --info
Then, use a host entry in your ~/.ssh/config file for your server, then you can run this...
wp --ssh=host --user=jbloggs --path='/var/www/domain.com/html' core version

Description: Custom child theme
Author: Why me of course
Author URI: http://anotherexample.com
Template: theme-child
Version: 0.1
*/
@import url("../theme/style.css");

Add these two lines to your wp-config.php, where "example.com" is the correct location of your site.
define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');
2. MySQL
Edit home and siteurl from the wp_options table using PHPMyAdmin or similar.
3. wp Command Line
A. You can use the official WP command line tool to alter the 'home', 'siteurl' options.
cd /path/to/wordpress/files sudo -u user wp option get home sudo -u user wp option get siteurl sudo -u user wp option update home 'http://www.domain.co.uk' sudo -u user wp option update siteurl 'http://www.domain.co.uk'
https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/option/
B. You can also use the command line to alter every part of the MySQL Database.
cd /path/to/wordpress/files sudo -u user wp search-replace 'http://test.domain.co.uk' 'http://www.domain.co.uk' --dry-run sudo -u user wp search-replace 'http://test.domain.co.uk' 'http://www.domain.co.uk'

You need to go to /wp-content/upgrade/ and delete all the wordfence folders/files in there. Chances are you won't be able to do that via FTP due to chown problems but will need shell access to your server to get rid of them. After that is done you will be able to upgrade without a problem.

Updates On Hosting With 1&1
The problem I was having was the update would start, and then just stop after a few seconds.
Then in my wp-content folder I would see a bunch of failed downloads. They were the update zip files with a 0 byte size.
The Solution:
Add the following line to your .htaccess file in the root directory of your blog.
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
This will enable PHP version 5 + on your blog and then your update should take off.
