10 WordPress Secrets

We’ve told you so far what exactly WP is, and then we’re going to explain those curiosities that I don’t want you to tell anyone else, do you promise me?

1. Responsive design

Considering that the vast majority of the world’s population browses the Internet through their smartphone, you have to be prepared.

On the one hand, there are the UI patterns, which help this design and solve problems that arise.

It will improve the navigation of users who enter your website, so they will feel at ease and in turn may increase the average time spent.

On the other hand, we have the Mobile First. That the design of the web is responsible with the design of smartphone, is already an obligation and not an option.

With this Mobile First model, we can start there, and then adapt it to desktop mode.

2. Simplicity is the key to elegance

When someone starts to put things into a web page, very striking elements and in excess, it surely means that it is a newbie.

Because the most aesthetic is quite the opposite. It is much better to use few fonts and few colors, no more than 4, and that fit in tune with the corporate colors.

3. The rule of thirds to divide your website into 9 pieces

If we divide the screen into 9 parts equally, we can organize the web better.

We will be able to investigate which are the points in which a user is most fixed, see where we put the things we want to highlight, leave blank spaces, etc.

4. Security: 2-Factor Authentication

One of the reasons why WP is so used globally, is because of its strong security, since authentication is two-step.

It consists of there being 2 elements by which to access your page. They can be 2 passwords, or a password and a question. That’s decided by the owner of the WP.

5. You can back up regularly

Related to the previous point, even if it is SUPER safe, there is always some point where the best hacker in the world can steal the web.

So always at the end of the day WP backs you up just in case.

6. You can hide the WordPress version number

More secrets for your safety. You can hide the WP version number. If the hacker knows that number, it is easier for them to attack the web.

Install the “Remove WordPress Version” plugin and other less concern.

7. To log in:

You can change the URL to enter, the “wp-admin” that everyone uses, for another URL, and so they will not know how to enter your website.

And you can also change the way you get into it. Let me explain, you usually need the WP username to access, but you can change that and, for example, have it accessed with email.

8. You can plan publications

With the installation of a plugin like “Editorial Calendar”, you can prepare blog articles, and you are programming them in the calendar so that they are published whenever you want.

This goes great if you have a blog where you post quite often and need order and organization.

I would do well, for example, hehe.

9. You can activate WP maintenance mode

If you need to make “reforms” on your website and do not want users to enter, there is the possibility of activating the maintenance mode.

With the URL, you will redirect them to a page with a message telling them this, and asking them to come back later when we are ready.

10. Block SPAM comments

With the help of another plugin like “Anti-SPAM” you can block all comments coming from bots, and it will not be necessary for people who comment and are real, to make the CAPTCHA control.

This plugin will detect the behavior of bots automatically.

We have told you 10 secrets, but we could have told you many more … maybe for another post, do you want?

Also, we don’t want them to get too angry with us for tell you about them. But we trust you.
