WordPress installation

WordPress
  • Realistically should an installation of wordpress be on a sub domain or can it be placed in a sub folder? So domain.com/hub
    hub.domain.com.

    Iā€™m looking to create a news type fan site where Iā€™m able to feed in news, YouTube etc via RSS plugin? šŸ¤žšŸ» and amongst a few articles from myself to have a directory of any County fans that offer a service / own a business etc that can be added and built up.

    And Iā€™m also hoping nodebb supports scope for something at the bottom of articles to say ā€œwhy not discuss this more in our forum?ā€ Something along these lines.

    Iā€™m hoping to build something like this up slowly.

    Many thanks.

    It should be in a sub domain. Whilst subfolder installations will work for the most part, youā€™ll have issues attempting to route traffic destined for the WordPress folder as NodeBB will consider this itā€™s traffic and try to route it internally.

    And Iā€™m also hoping nodebb supports scope for something at the bottom of articles to say ā€œwhy not discuss this more in our forum?ā€ Something along these lines.

    That should be the other way round, no ? For example, ā€œdiscuss this on our forumā€ should be in the WordPress site as otherwise youā€™re already in the NodeBB site šŸ¤”

  • @jac that plugin is for single sign on between WordPress and NodeBB. The plugin you really need is this

    Apologies for not explaining very well, thats what I meant sorry.

    Yes, I am aware that if users are given the option to enter alt text, some may do so in an abusive manner. For the time being, weā€™ve adjusted the php script to generate the alt automatically, thus there are no longer any SEO problem with alt images.

    @Hari I think youā€™re referring to this

    However, this code was never designed to work with WordPress, but you could leverage the WP-CLI to do something similar without too much effort.

    Itā€™s Wordpress OUT, and Ghost IN it seems! *preference based .

    Even Countyā€™s site uses Wordpress šŸ˜‰ . Although that does serve itā€™s purpose.

    @phenomlab said in Hardening WordPress - Reducing the attack vector:

    @jac Microsoftā€™s and Googleā€™s Authenticator both support TOTP - essentially, a time based system that changes every 30 seconds. The main principle here is that the device itself carrying the One Time Passcode only needs to be in sync with the source server in terms of time, and can be completely offline with no internet access.

    Provided the time matches on both devices, the One Time Passcode will be accepted. Applications such as Microsoft Authenticator and Authy also support push notification meaning you just choose either yes or no on your device when prompted, and then that response is sent back to the origin which then determines if access is granted or not.

    One of the best looking password less authentication models was CLEF - sadly, this product died out due to a lack of funding (if I recall correctly) although some open source implementations of this have appeared quite recently.

    Essentially, both products will achieve the same goal. TOTP is an industry standard, and widely accepted across the board. Not all services offer push confirmation.

    Many thanks for the detailed reply mate.

    Thereā€™s some great advice in there that will help me secure my accounts.

    @jac That wonā€™t matter. You just redirect at nginx or apache level and itā€™ll work. The generally accepted standard though is to use a subdomain.
