Blogs stands for Web Log which is essentially a website that functioned as an online diary, his own post is usually about a particular topic.

Understanding Blog Differences with Websites


Have you got a picture of what is a blog and website? Apparently according to Wikipedia blog is a website with special function. If you've ever encountered the web with an additional blog page it means a website that has a blog feature, unlike a blog that does not necessarily have a function like website. As with forums, forums are also types of websites with the same function as well as blogs, if we compare the blog with the website then we will find a little difference, because the website has a broad meaning and blogs have a narrow sense.

Regarding the importance of why we know the difference between blog and website, we will know our goal in making it, many free cms like wordpress that can be used as blog or used as another type of website, for example online store.

Suda is not it? if you want to discuss the website, must clear which type of website that would be discussed? Although a web that has only one page and its content is just the word "hello world" or even no word or content at all, it can also be called a web with a blank type of website hehehe. Essentially a website is a page that can be accessed with a specific address (IP address or Domain).

The most find on some forums or blogs mention that the website is static, content containing the introduction of services or organization, seldom updated and usually used for company profiles.

  3. Each post has a section to comment or comment field to provide feedback or questions according to the post content.
  4. Have a contact section as a medium to contact the author. Usually used for communication tools on questions that can not be submitted to the comment field.
  5. Has a simple design and want to highlight the post.
  6. Usually made purely as a medium of exchange of information from the author to the reader, the author here usually only the owner of the site or a few people, in contrast to the forum.
  7. Usually the cost incurred is small or even free.
  8. The reader will know the author and the type of blog.

Corporate Website Features and Features

  1. No information is updated regularly, even if there is additional information, usually not much about the company or the organization itself and that too rarely.
  2. Website has an elegant homepage and contains information about the types of services offered. Homepage will be in the optimization as attractive as possible to attract potential customers and build a good impression.
  3. There is usually no comment field for each published information.
  4. Have a contact page, just like a blog. Some even add a map or company location on the contact page section.
  5. The design is made elegant and stunning. This is to build the brand and the name of the company or organization itself.
  6. Made purely as a media promotion company and its services or as a place of complaints problems online services.
  7. The costs incurred are large, due to the high custom rate. Start domain and some additional functions.
  8. Readers will better understand the company and the type of service.

If anyone has both of these features, then called the web with the additional capabilities of blogs where the blog function is more intended to attract potential customers and give effect to the services or products offered. Beyond there are many who use blogs as a tool to attract potential customers and many who succeed, to note is the content of the blog must be pure support services within the company or organization and make the final action toward your product or service.

It's easy to improve your website rankings in Google search engines in a short time if you really want to follow these WordPress SEO guidelines . In this article I will introduce an effective method to optimize your website in search engines and get a higher position in search results.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is an important part in promoting websites to rank better in search results and improve rankings on Google.


1. FIX THE SPEED OF YOUR WORDPRESS SITE


Site speed is important because many reasons people will tend to go if a site takes longer when opened and Google does suggest to increase the speed of the website.

To test and check website speed, you can use tools like Pingdom. If the speed of your website is very slow you can try to optimize with some easy ways below:
  • Use one of the popular caching plugins .
  • Compress and reload large image files on your site.
  • Use a good hosting service like Bluehost or SiteGround
  • Once you've done the above steps, please check your site's speed at Pingdom - you should see a significant improvement!


2. OPTIMIZE YOUR WORDPRESS SITE FOR MOBILE


Mobile has long overtaken the desktop in the number of users in browsing. And mobile users will always increase considering now the smartphone has evolved into a really sophisticated and easy tool to browse.

And the search engine giant Google knows it so they better value mobile-friendly sites with better rankings.

To have a WordPress friendly site for mobile is very easy, please use WordPress responsive theme, you can search for responsive WordPress theme here. And for maximum results you can change your WordPress site to AMP ( Accelerated Mobile Pages ) version with WordPress AMP or AMP for WordPress plugin.

3. OPTIMIZE TITLE AND DESCRIPTION


The title is the first thing that tells people what content on the page will be displayed. And search engines also feature more prominent titles than descriptions. So try to create an interesting title that represents the content of your article. And do not forget to include the keywords you shoot in the title.

After the title you need to optimize is the description of the content. Please make a short description of 150 to 160 words to represent the contents of your article. This description is also displayed in search engine results as well as titles, by making the content of an engaging description and containing keywords will improve your WordPress site ranking for Google search results.

You can use SEO plugins like All in One or SEO by Yoast to help you add space to optimize the titles and descriptions of each of your posts. Both plugins also provide a preview of how your title and description are displayed in search engines.

4. OPTIMIZE PERMALINKS OR URLS


Permalinks or URLs that people can read better than those with complex characters, as well as search engines prefer easy-to-read URLs. So make sure the permalink settings on your WordPress site are correct. Because by default, the WordPress URL structure looks like https://www.centerklik.com/?p=13 , and it is a bad example for search engines because it is not SEO friendly.

As in point 3 that URLs are also displayed in search engine results, create easy-to-read URLs or match titles that also contain keywords.

To optimize permalinks in WordPress, please go to Settings menu> Permalinks and select "Post name" or you can read more complete article about Permalink WordPress below.


5. FOCUS ON KEYWORDS


Keyword or Keyphrase is a word or phrase that reflects the post. In general, posts can get good results when visitors search for relevant phrases with keywords on the Internet, and large sites tend to have some search traffic coming from keywords.

Once you have selected the right keywords for your post, you should consider keyword density. If the keyword density is too small, search engines can not identify the words are keywords, however, if the keyword density is too large, search engines will consider that it is spam. So, try to embed the keyword with a normal amount in the post and make the keyword enter in some paragraph naturally.


6. CREATE QUALITY AND LONG CONTENT


New blogs really need to create really quality content with extensive content. Try to create an article with a complete explanation to compete with articles from other blogs that have been old. It's been proven that long articles get good rankings in search results compared to articles that are too short.

The ideal long content is over 800 words. If you can always create an article above 1000 words then it will be very good for the competition. And do not forget to organize your content with good writing settings by utilizing the h1, h2, and h3 format heading.

7. FILL ALT TEXT ON ALL YOUR IMAGES


Google Image or Google's image search accounted for about 10% more than all Google search traffic. Adding alt text to all images will bring some visitors through image search on Google and this will be an important factor to improve your site's ranking.

In addition, Google also uses alt text to determine the topic of a page, so it can help improve the ranking of non-image search.

To add a description to alt text is very easy, when you will add an image and select one of the images in the WordPress library then a column will appear on the right that contains alt text.


8. MAKE SURE THE SITE STRUCTURE IS CORRECT AND ADD INTERNAL LINKS


Navigating your site is very important for SEO. Google gives the highest ranking authority to the destination page by navigating the main menu of your website, as they are linked from the bottom for every page on your site. Make sure your navigation is clean, and do not connect too much of your main navigation to multiple pages, just a few of the most important ones.

Additionally adding internal links to important pages will take visitors to other relevant pages and make visitors linger on your site. This way it will also improve your WordPress site ranking in search engines.

And that's some important points you need to do for your WordPress website or blog. Follow all the ways above correctly so that your WordPress site rankings are in a good place and can compete with other blogs. Hopefully this article useful and good luck

For your information, child themes are not as difficult as it sounds. One of the key benefits of using parent theme is that you do not have to write all the HTML/CSS from scratch.

How to fix - WordPress on local host

How to fix - WordPress on local host



Opening a WordPress site after Apache port change returns HTTP 404 error (Not Found). This is a common issue with  WordPress users who have installed WordPress on local machine, then had to change the Apache HTTP port since other programs took over the HTTP port 80.

Here is a scenario for the issue:

1. XAMPP installed and configured. Apache web page is opening on http://localhost (default port 80)
2. Sites have been developed and placed under /htdocs including say, Drupal and WordPress sites.
3. Drupal and WordPress sites are working fine, and can be accessed on http://localhost/sitename

Now, suppose I needed IIS on the same machine for ASP developments. IIS is installed and it takes over the HTTP port 80. Or even Skype for that matter. Then the Apache HTTP port is changed.

4. Apache HTTP listen port is changed from 80 to 8080 in Apache's httpd.conf file. (See here: How to run Apache and IIS on the same computer)

5. Checked Apache service is starting with no issues using 8080 in the XAMPP Control Panel and the Apache default page opens, now at http://localhost:8080
6. Tested each site one by one - whether they are accessible using the new port 8080.

In my case, all other sites including Drupal sites, seems to embrace the port change well. They can be opened on the new port 8080 by accessing from the URL http://localhost:8080/sitename but not WordPress sites. After the port change, accessing WordPress sites using the url http://localhost:8080/sitename redirects to http://localhost/sitename. The browser returns HTTP 404 (Not found) error..




How to make WordPress sites work after changing Apache's HTTP port?

I haven't really dug in to see why WordPress will not work after the port change, but since the WordPress sites were working fine on port 80, but not on the new port 8080, I apply the same steps like I do when moving WordPress sites from local development having port 8080 to live server, that is, localhost URL edits.

The below steps are also required when moving WordPress site from local machine to live server, if local machine is using port 8080 for Apache.

1. Access phpMyAdmin: http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin. Log in.
2. Click on the particular WordPress site's database.
3. Export it as SQL
4. Open the exported SQL file in a note editor (such as Notepad ++)
5. Do a Find & Replace:
Find = localhost
Replace = localhost:8080

6. Replace All
7. Save as: Save the file as a new SQL file
8. Back in phpMyAdmin:
phpMyAdmin > structure > select all the tables and drop
[If the edited SQL backup taken earlier is imported without dropping the tables, we get duplicate primary key error due to existing content.]

9. Import the edited SQL backup file
10. Check the WordPress site is accessible from the url http://localhost:8080/sitename
The WordPress site should now be accessible.

How to host a website or blog is very easy if we use CPanel, another story if we use a hosting venue or still not installed anything, we must prepare mysql (for those who use mysql), apache (for those who use php) other.

In the previous tutorial we have discussed how to register the domain, if not please visit the tutorial " How to Register Domain Blog Website Complete " and now it's time we discuss the tutorial how to web hosting or blog with cpnel. Oh yes, in web hosting or blog, whatever it is the kind of blog or its web, the way is still the same. The basic steps are as follows:

  1. Set up local database (can be dumped first)
  2. Prepare php files or similar (asp or other)
  3. Filezilla or other upload tool (ftp)
  4. Where to host (yes yes it is)

How to Hosting a WordPress using CPanel

Note the point number 5 above, so that the tutorial is not too widened, in this tutorial we just discuss how to web hosting or blog with cpnel. For those candidates where his hosting does not exist CPanel, will be made a special tutorial to install the mysql and apache database manual. For the type of blog or website we will be hosting in this tutorial is "WordPress".

Still remember the tutorial " How to Install WordPress Offline in Xampp Manual ", there we have installed wordpress locally on our pc, usually this way taken in the framework of development theme. In this tutorial, we will be hosting our local wordpress blog to a hosting provider which of course has provided CPanel.

By following the process in this tutorial, we will move all of our content on localhost (posts, pages, images, etc.), templates, and plugins from the local server to the hosting site.


Step One: Export the WordPress Local Database

The first thing we need to do is export the Local Database database. We will use phpMyAdmin to export. To access phpMyAdmin just type the address http: //localhost/phpmyadmin/in the browser and click the WordPress database. Next, click the Export button on the menu bar.


  • Note that what is exported is the database that we want to host
  • select export menu
  • Export menu
  • Select Custom
  • Select All Tables
  • Compression, select gzip

In the Export Method option select a custom method, which will give us more options to export the database. Select all tables for export and gzip for compression. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and press the Go / Send button to download the database.

Step 2: Uploading a WordPress File (WordPress Hosting)


Now open FTP software and connect to web hosting. Once connected to the site, make sure we upload the files in the proper directory. For example if we want the site to be hosted on yoursite.com, then we will upload all the files in the public_html directory in the hosting server.



  1. Local wordpress web address
  2. Web hosting address
  3. Select all files, right-click and select upload

Step 3: Create a MySQL Database in Server Hosting

When FTP uploads WordPress files, we can all import the database to the hosting server. Because this tutorial discusses how to host a wordpress blog with CPanel, so we will discuss how to create a database using CPanel. Login to the CPanel dashboard and click on the MySQL database icon that can be found in the database section.

After creating the database, scroll down to the MySQL user section and create or add an existing user to the database. After adding the user, CPanel will take us to set the MySQL privilege for that user. Just give all the privileges to the user we just added or created earlier.

Step 4: Importing WordPress Database in Server Hosting

The next step in this process is to import the WordPress database. Please go to the CPanel dashboard, scroll down to the database section and click phpMyAdmin. This will take us to phpMyAdmin.

phpMyAdmin will show you the new database we have created earlier. Click on the Import tab in the top menu. On the import page, click on the file select button and then select the gzip database file (the gzip file we created in the previous step). Finally, press the Go button at the bottom of the page. phpMyAdmin will now import the WordPress database.

Step 5: Change the Web URL

Now we need to change the URL of the web or blog, so we can make the WordPress website can be accessed online. In phpMyAdmin, look for the wp_options table in the database we just imported in step 4. If you change the database prefix, then not wp_options.

Click on the browse button (browse) next to wp_options or links on the sidebar to open a page with a list of fields in the table wp_options. See image below:



Below the field options_name, look for row with value siteurl. Click the Change icon that can be found on the far left at the beginning of the line.

When you click the edit icon, a new window will appear. In the input box ' option_value', we will see local URL like: http://localhost/wordpress. Be careful to enter new site urls in this field, for example: http://www.yousite.com. Save by clicking the Go / send button. Do the same for a field options_name containing home.

Step 6: Setting Database Connection


Now that we have imported the database, and all our content has been uploaded, it is time to configure WordPress. At this time, if we try to access the site, then our site will menu error page in the form of database connection error.

Step 7: Fix Image Url and Broken Link with Update Database


Every time we move a WordPress site from one domain to another, or from a local server to a Hosting site, we will find broken and missing links that also cause problems with image loads. We can use SQL queries or use the WordPress Velvet Blues plugin .
For those who want to do it via SQL, here is a simple SQL query that can solve this problem:

WordPress Website / Blog Customization

WordPress Website / Blog Customization



Do you want to change the look of your WordPress site or maybe to put something like a banner or adsense code on your blog? In order to do this you need to know about three important things: template files, functions and CSS.


  • Template Files


These files are stored in a directory (wp-content/themes/template-name/). So if you are using "default theme", you need to access the files that are stored in "wp-content/themes/default/" directory.

There are several common WordPress template files you should know:

1.header.php

This file is responsible for the appearance of the top section of your blog. If you want to change the header image, you have to access this file. Not only that, this file is also the place to add Meta Tags.

2.footer.php

Similar to the header.php, this file is loaded everytime any page or post of your blog is accessed. It is used to store the HTML tags and the code for the bottom section of your blog.

3.sidebar.php

A sidebar is a section which is usually used to display site navigation. Depending on the theme you are using, a sidebar usually provides links to archives, pages and latest posts.

4.index.php

In fact this file is the main template file. When someone visits the homepage of your blog site, this file will be loaded. Then he/she will see the contents (not the source code) of this file. If you want to make the appearance of your blog become similar to a common website, where there is a static description on the homepage, you may try to put the static content in this file.

Besides those files, a theme usually has some other template files with different purposes. For example, the archives.php is a file used to display posts you made in the past. Then the search.php is used to generate search results.


  • Functions


A function is a blog of code to accomplish a specific task. In order to modify template files, you don't need to master any programming language. Although having a little knowledge in PHP, you can work faster. In WordPress, the name of a function is usually related to its purpose. For instance, "the_title()" is a function to display the title of a post and "the_content()" is used to display its content. Another example is "blog_info()" which is responsible for displaying the name or description of your blog, depending on the given argument (additional data).


  • CSS


Style Sheet is a facility to manage the format and layout of a website efficiently. Without using it, changing small things such as the font type or the background color of all of your webpages is a daunting task where you have to do it page by page. But with the existence of style sheet, one change you make can affect the whole site. You should know that in WordPress a different theme may have a different css file. You also need to know that some styles may be defined in the header.php file. If you are using the "default theme", you have to access the header.php file in order to change the background color or the header image of your blog, not the css file.

Finally, before you customize the templates, it is highly recommended to backup any files you intend to change. If something doesn't work properly, you can always go back to the original settings.
