1. WordPress security with daily backup

No one can guarantee their website is secured 100% so that let ‘s prepare a backup version daily via your hosting plan. Almost hosting service provide daily backup service include files and database. Just one-click to restore if you meet any risk later on. This way will make sure you are safe 100%.

2. Internet activity security

1. Use A Secure Network At Home – If you are using Wifi at your home or office, then I would suggest setting up a private WPA2 network with a strong, randomly-generated name and network passphrase. For additional protection, you can employ “security through obscurity” methods such as enabling MAC Address Filtering.
2. Use An Encrypted VPN Connection Over Public Wifi – Generally speaking, it’s best to never log in to a sensitive area such as your WordPress Dashboard when connected to the internet over public Wifi. If you are using your laptop or phone over a public network, always run your connection through an encrypted VPN and make sure that you are signing in to your website over SSL. You can purchase a VPN from StrongVPN.com.

3. Securing Your Personal Computer

If I can recommend, I recommend you use Linux or Mac to anti virus. In windows I usually meet the key logger software what can’t be detected by any anti virus software. It ‘s a lot of risk if you lose server account and email accounts.

But anyway, if you can’t use Linux or Mac I think you can a good anti virus software like Kaspersky

They are simple but strong to help you in any risk situation. Hope it help!

Welcome any comment.

Here is what we need to do

Input             Output
'2'               2
'2.34'            2.34
'0.3454545'       0.3454545

Now, let ‘s do the magic

$num = "3.14";
$int = (int)$num;
$float = (float)$num;

For more detail you can do like this

1. Cast the strings to numeric primitive data types:

$num = (int) "10";
$num = (double) "10.12"; // same as (float) "10.12";

2. Perform math operations on the strings:

$num = "10" + 1;
$num = floor("10.1");

3. Use intval() or floatval():

$num = intval("10");
$num = floatval("10.1");

I think they are good enough for you to convert string to any number type.

WordPress Plugin Idea

Before building any plugin, we should site down and write all of our requirements to save time and do the right way in coding time. In my simple wordpress plugin idea include:

Now, let ‘s go with our first wordpress plugin

WordPress Plugin Basic File Structure

As the minimum requirements, wordpress plugin only need one php file in folder /wp-content/plugins/ but no one do thing like that since it ‘s very difficult to maintain. So even though we do a simple wordpress plugin, let ‘s learn for future to build a complex plugin. So, the basic wordpress plugin file structure include:

• A folder in /wp-content/plugins/: let ‘s create it is simple-shortcode
• A php file in plugin folder /wp-content/plugins/simple-shortcode with the same name as plugin folder, so it should be /wp-content/plugins/simple-shortcode/simple-shortcode.php

wordpress plugin file structure

WordPress Plugin Header

Somehow WordPress need to know the basic information of your wordpress plugin to display in control panel, kind of detail of a plugin. And here is all that needs to be in your plugin file for WordPress to recognize it once uploaded. Let ‘s add it as first line in file simple-shortcode.php

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: My Custom Functions
*/

See how easy that is? At this point you have a plugin that you can activate in your WordPress plugins area. Of course our plugin doesn’t actually do anything yet but the point is you have laid the foundation of your very own plugin and it was super easy.

Now there are other elements that you can include in this header. Things like a description, version, author, etc. You can read more about those here: http://codex.wordpress.org /Writing_a_Plugin #File_Headers

That ‘s all to get a new wordpress plugin, let visit your wordpress plugin admin and activate it. Time to build the main function

Capture wordpress hooks

Keep in mind that to get our plugin optimize, we only execute our action code via wordpress shortcode except some special case. For the most case, we will capture the init hook of wordpress. Here is the code.

add_action( 'init', 'simple_shortcode_register_shortcodes');

See, we call function simple_shortcode_register_shortcodes when the wordpress system init and we need to define this function.

function simple_shortcode_register_shortcodes()
{
add_shortcode('my-first-shortcode', 'simple_shortcode_my_first_shortcode');
}

Again we add a shortcode with tag my-first-shortcode and defined by function simple_shortcode_my_first_shortcode. One more time we need to define this function:

function simple_shortcode_my_first_shortcode($atts, $content){
extract(shortcode_atts(array(
'lastname' => ''
), $atts));
return "<strong>{$content} {$lastname}";
}

Ok, it ‘s quite simple, for more detail how to define this function you can look at wordpress API https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_shortcode . And I guess, you will know where to search for WordPress API :-).

The next step, let ‘s test it. Create a new post with this detail:

Now, view it on front-end to see the magic.
