WordPress regularly releases updates. These can be for the core WordPress files, but also for plugins and themes. When you install a new version of a theme, you overwrite any changes you made to the code. If you don't install the update, your site could get hacked or may not function properly in the future. Using a child theme can prevent this. It allows you to copy the site's functionalities and design into a separate, new folder. WordPress won't touch that folder during updates, ensuring your site always works perfectly. In this text, we will explain how to modify a WordPress theme with a WordPress child theme. What is a Child Theme for WordPress? Before we dive deeper into the topic, let's first explain what a WordPress child theme actually is. A parent theme and a child theme in WordPress are connected and work as a unit. The parent theme is the main one and contains the core code. The child theme contains additional or customized code, such as changes to the site's layout or a different logo. If you decide to update the site's parent theme, WordPress will leave the associated child theme untouched. This means you don't have to reapply the changes you made. An added benefit is that a child theme allows you to experiment with minimal risk. If the changes don't work out, you can simply start over, and... --- > Speed up your WordPress site with practical tips to boost speed, enhance UX, and reduce bounce rates.

Follow these essential tips and boost your site’s performance. Hey, hello! Got your attention? Great - that’s already an achievement. People are becoming increasingly impatient. Back in 2000, our average attention span was 12 seconds. By 2016, it had dropped to just 7 seconds. And it's still shrinking... If you own a website, you need to capture visitors' interest quickly. If you don’t, they’ll leave - and head straight to your competitor. A slow website means losing visitors, revenue, and ultimately, profit. How to Know If Your WordPress Website Is Slow When was the last time you tested your WordPress site’s speed? It might feel fast to you — but that can be misleading. Modern browsers like Google Chrome store parts of websites locally (called caching), especially if you visit them often. This makes them load faster for you, but a first-time visitor might experience a completely different (and much slower) version. That’s why it’s important to run an objective speed test. There are plenty of great website speed testing tools available online. Recommended options include: Google PageSpeed Insights GTmetrix (be sure to select a test location close to your audience) Pingdom Tools They all work in pretty much the same way:Enter your website URL, click the 'Analyze button, and wait a few moments for the results. One tool might provide more detailed insights, while another gives you a simple overall score.

Regular maintenance and a reliable hosting partner remain essential for a well-functioning site. A good website that works effectively for you requires more than just building and publishing it online. WordPress issues can arise, which is why it’s wise to perform regular maintenance. You can help prevent problems by updating your site, replacing outdated plugins, and adding extra security measures. Choosing a reliable hosting provider is also crucial—they can assist in avoiding WordPress issues after updates or other technical problems. Maintaining your website is a shared responsibility between you and your hosting provider. It’s important to understand which services your host offers, so you know which WordPress issues fall under their support and which ones are your responsibility. This clarity helps you take action when needed and ensures that more complex issues are handled by professionals. This is the most effective way to deal with WordPress update issues or other problems—for both you and your hosting provider. Fix WordPress issues yourself with WordPress Safe Mode? Unfortunately, WordPress issues can still arise even when everything is properly maintained. Luckily, there are various tools available to help you identify and resolve these problems. One such tool is the WP Safe Mode plugin. If you manage your website yourself, it’s definitely worth learning more about. This way, you’ll know exactly how to install and use WP Safe Mode to fix WordPress update issues or other potential problems on your own! What is WP Safe Mode?

Discover how to customize your WordPress menu for better navigation and a personalized look. Change colors, move items, create a sticky menu, and more. New to WordPress? One of the first things you'll probably wonder is how to adjust your website’s menu. That’s understandable - navigation is one of the most crucial parts of any website. A good, clear, and eye-catching menu helps guide visitors and improves usability. Of course, a poorly designed menu can do the opposite.

The causes are usually related to a plugin, theme, or a database error, often due to insufficient memory. Solving it requires a step-by-step diagnosis, such as deactivating plugins and switching themes. We’ll explain how to do it. Is your WordPress website suddenly showing blank white pages? Then you're likely dealing with the White Screen of Death. More importantly: how do you fix it? Find out now. WordPress White Screen of Death If your WordPress site suddenly starts displaying blank white pages, chances are you're facing the White Screen of Death. This is one of the most common errors in WordPress websites. When it occurs, the CMS shows nothing but empty, white pages - both on the front end (what visitors see) and sometimes in the admin area. Fixing the WordPress White Screen of Death can be tricky because WordPress typically doesn’t display any clear error messages. To make matters more confusing, the issue may only affect specific parts of your site. What Causes the White Screen in WordPress? If WordPress is showing white pages on your site, several underlying issues could be the cause. Most often, it’s one of the following three: There’s a problem with a plugin There’s a problem with the theme/template There’s a database error on the site The first two are the most common and usually occur due to insufficient memory for a script. This causes the script to stop responding or the server to time out. Since no clear error is generated, WordPress simply shows a blank timeout screen. How to Fix the White Screen of Death in WordPress Now that you know what can cause the WordPress white screen, the next step is fixing it.

Are you about to launch a new WordPress website? Then always set up redirects. Here's how it works. Naive. Or rather: downright foolish. That's how you could describe the action of an enthusiastic webshop owner. He had a brand-new site built at great cost and impulsively replaced the old one. The result? Google links stopped working, backlinks showed 404 errors, and the site plummeted in search rankings. And all of this could have easily been prevented... Migrating Your Website? Always Set Up Redirects Getting a new website or moving your current one? That doesn’t automatically go smoothly. Pages get new URLs, and online links lead to 404 errors - unless you prepare properly. WHAT IS A REDIRECT? A redirect tells search engines that a page has moved. This can be either a temporary or permanent move, indicated by a status code. 301 Permanent RedirectA 301 redirect tells search engines that a page has been permanently moved to a new URL. It transfers the old page's value to the new one and ensures visitors land in the right place. 302 FoundA 302 redirect signals a temporary move - for example, if a product is out of stock. Search engines and visitors are redirected, but Google will periodically check if the original page is back. 307 Temporary RedirectSimilar to the 302, but a bit clearer for search engines. In practice, you’ll mainly use 301 and 302 redirects. Most redirect plugins support both.... --- > Speed up your WordPress site with LiteSpeed Cache: tips, settings, and maximum performance on our servers. - Published: 2020-12-14 - Modified: 2025-05-30 - URL: https://www.klarned.is/blog/best-settings-for-litespeed-cache/ - Categories: Uncategorized LiteSpeed Cache boosts your WordPress site's speed, especially on LiteSpeed hosting. Adjust caching and optimization settings carefully, test thoroughly, and exclude certain cookies for WooCommerce. ManagedWPHosting fully supports this and offers extra speed tools. The Litespeed plugin for WordPress is a relatively new player in the world of caching plugins. Nevertheless, it offers a lot of features, and especially if your web host also uses LiteSpeed on the server - like we do with our GO and Business packages - you can achieve even greater speed improvements! The basic Total Cache rules for your Litespeed Cache settings. Always test your site in a different browser after changing any setting preferably one you never use to log into your site. Do you always log into your site with Chrome? Then use, for example, Firefox (ideally in incognito/private mode) to test your site. (And make sure to clear your WordPress caches first. ) Merging and minifying CSS and JavaScript can sometimes be quite aggressive, which may cause your Customizer not to work the first time (refresh the page and it should work, or disable the feature if needed). Never enable page caching for logged-in users. Settings may vary between websites. An export of a "standard set" of settings won't necessarily work everywhere right away. Achieve the fastest performance gains for your visitors, with as few settings as possible and maximum stability. Go to the Cache menu and enable Caching. To be safe, disable “Cache Logged-in Users” and “Cache Login Page. ” Also turn off Private Cache. If you don’t use a separate theme specifically for mobile, then disable “Cache Mobile” as well. Why? If you're using a responsive theme, the HTML content sent to the browser... --- > Explore three secure and effective alternatives to hosted email services. - Published: 2019-08-01 - Modified: 2025-06-11 - URL: https://www.klarned.is/blog/three-alternatives-to-hosted-mail/ - Categories: General, Safety - Tags: avg, domain, email, emailhosting, europa, gdpr, gmail, hosted, mail, mailhosting, privacy, prontomail Hosted mail offers opportunities for businesses, but it is a complex service to provide.

Hosted mail offers opportunities for businesses, but it is a complex service to provide. It requires airtight security, continuous development, reliable integrations, and more. As ManagedWPHosting, we have made the decision to no longer offer hosted mail services to our clients. It simply doesn't fit within our proposition. In this blog, we share several alternatives for emailing safely and effectively. That being said: we will take care of syncing your old emails to your new hosted mail provider and set up the DNS for you (technical speak for: we’ll take care of it). However, you will need to find a suitable mail hosting provider yourself. When choosing a hosted mail provider, there are various criteria you can consider during your search. In addition to budget, security and possible integrations are two commonly used criteria. Let’s take a closer look at those. Security comes first Security is a crucial part of hosting - and therefore also of email. Since the enforcement of the GDPR (also known as the AVG in Dutch), a lot has changed. If you’ve followed even a little of it, you’ll know that this regulation has had a significant impact on businesses. The GDPR also affects how you, the recipient, and the hosting provider handle email. For example, if your company is based in Europe and you want to send (sensitive) personal data to the United States, you must comply with what's known as the Privacy Shield. When searching for an email hosting provider, make sure they comply... --- ---
