In this essay, you’ll discover how to disable WordPress’ JSON REST API.

The JSON REST API is useful to developers even if many website owners think it is useless. The JSON REST API makes it simple for developers building WordPress-based apps to recover data using GET requests. But doing so can be resource-intensive, slowing down the website, and it can open up a new front for DDoS attacks on your website.
How to quickly deactivate WordPress’s JSON REST API
Scroll over the Plugins widget in your WordPress dashboard.

In the plugin search box, type Disable JSON API.

Click on Install Now the Plugin Disable JSON API.

The Plugin can be activated by clicking Activate Plugin.

Why do I need browser caching on my WordPress website?
Caching is a technique for accelerating the loading of your website. It achieves this by having a user’s browser or device memory save components of your website so that only the modified or dynamic material has to be downloaded when they visit a page again. This can considerably shorten the time it takes for a webpage to load.

The speed at which a website loads is crucial for two reasons. Site speed is important for two reasons: first, it helps users from leaving a website because it loads slowly, and second, search engines use site speed as a ranking factor when displaying search results.
What plugin should I use for browser caching?

In the WordPress repository, there are several caching plugins to select from. While we don’t specifically suggest any plugin here, we do advise that you pick one that works with your version of WordPress, is regularly updated by the developer, and has positive user reviews.

We will use the WP Total Cache plugin for this tutorial, which has over a million active users and more than 3,400 5-star reviews.

How to set up caching using WP Total Cache

1. Log in to your WordPress admin panel.

2. Scroll to Plugins > Add New.

3. In the Add New page search bar, type ‘Caching’. A list of all the caching plugins will be displayed, so if you would rather choose a different plugin, you can select one here.

4. Find WP Total Cache and click the Install Now button.

5. Once the installation is complete, click the Activate button.

6. Once you activate WP Total Cache, a new item, Performance, will be added to the left-hand menu of your website dashboard.

7. Navigate to Performance > General Setting

8. In the General section, enable Preview Mode and click Save All Settings. Preview Mode allows you to see the effects that your WP Total Cache settings have on your website before making them live. This will allow you to test your settings options to make sure they don’t stop your website from working properly.

9. Scroll to the Page Caching section, check the Enable box and click the Save Settings & Purge Cache button.

10. Scroll up to the General section, click the Preview button and check that your website is working as expected.

If it isn’t, scroll back to the Page Caching section, uncheck the Enable box and click the Save Settings & Purge Cache button. This will disable Page Caching.

11. If everything is fine, repeat the process for the Database Cache and Browser Cache.

Remember: enable these one at a time, click Save Settings & Purge Cache after checking the Enable box and preview the changes before moving on to the next section.

If any affect your site, disable them by unchecking the enable box and clicking Save Settings & Purge Cache.

12. Once your caching options have been enabled and the previews show that your site is working as it should, you can make these changes live. To do this, scroll up to the General box, click the Deploy button and then click the Save All Settings button.

13. Caching will now be set up on your website and your website will load faster on users’ browsers.

Installation instructions

To install a third-party WordPress theme, follow these steps:

1. Before you can begin the installation, you will first need to purchase a third-party theme from a developer or theme store and download it to your computer.

2. The folder you download will be compressed to make the contents smaller and should have an a.zip file format (e.g. mytheme.zip). You do not need to unzip the file on your computer.

3. For backup and restoration purposes, you should save a copy of your theme on your computer or another storage solution in case you need to reinstall it in the future.

4. Once you have the .zip file, log in to your WordPress admin panel.

5. Scroll down to Appearance > Themes.

6. When the theme page opens, click on the Add New button at the top of the page.

This guide will show you how to install a WordPress repository theme via the WordPress admin panel.

The WordPress repository provides hundreds of free WordPress-approved themes.
These are viewable and installable from your admin dashboard.

3. When the theme page opens, click on the Add New button at the top of the page.

4. The Add New page enables you to search for or browse the themes in the WordPress repository.

Search tools include featured, popular, latest, and favourite themes. You can also search for themes in the search box. The most effective way to find the theme you need is through the Feature filter. 

With thousands of themes available, the Feature filter helps you quickly find those which match your criteria. There are three categories of filter, Subject, Feature, and Layout, with many options within each category.

5. Check the features you want and click the Apply Filters button. Those themes which match your criteria will then be displayed underneath.

6. Clicking on a theme will let you find out more details about it and see a preview. To install the theme, simply click the Install button.

7. Once installed, you will need to activate the theme. To do this, navigate back to Appearance > Themes where the theme will be displayed in the list of installed themes. Find the theme and click Activate.

8. Once activated, the appearance of your website will change to that of the new theme. Differences between the way the new and old themes display content may mean you need to make adjustments to your site using the Appearance > Customise or Appearance > Theme Options.

This guide will walk you through the process of enabling auto-updates for the plugins you use on your WordPress website.
Why do I need auto-updates?

When plugin developers release new versions, it’s usually because vulnerabilities in previous versions have been uncovered.
The faster you update, the sooner that vulnerability is fixed.
If you do not update your site rapidly, it is vulnerable to hacking or virus infestation.
Setting up auto-updates eliminates the need to manually update your plugins whenever a new version is published.
Should I use auto-updates on my site?

Most websites support auto-updates.
However, modifications to a plugin’s coding may result in a software conflict that stops your site from functioning properly.
Though the likelihood is remote, it is critical that you have a backup to restore your site to an older version in the event that this occurs.
Can I automate updates for all my plugins?  

You can choose which plugins should be updated automatically.
However, you can normally only configure auto-updates for plugins installed from the WordPress repository.
Third-party plugins must typically be updated manually, while some developers have set up auto-updates for their own plugins.
How to set up auto-updates for plugins in WordPress?

1. Log into your WordPress Admin Panel.

2. Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins.

3. On the Plugins page, go to the Bulk Actions dropdown menu and select the Enable Auto-updates option.

4. To enable Auto-updates for all plugins, click the Plugin checkbox at the top of your list of plugins. This will put a check in the boxes of all the plugins you have. Then click Apply.

5. To select individual plugins to auto-update, scroll through your list of plugins, and click on the checkbox of those you want auto-updates enabled. Then click Apply.

6. To check whether there are any problems, look at the links above the Bulk Actions box and click on the Auto-updates disabled link.

This will display all the plugins you have decided not to auto-update as well as any plugins for which auto-update is not an option, such as third-party plugins. Any plugins in this list will need to be manually updated.

What is a static homepage and why do I need one?
Stage 1: Create a homepag

Before you can display a static homepage, you will first need to create it. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Log into your WordPress admin panel.

2. Scroll to Pages > Add New

3. In the Add New Page screen, type the word Home in the title box.

4. Click on Save Draft. This saves the page but doesn’t publish it on your website. Before you publish the page, you’ll need to add your homepage content. Once you have done this and are happy with how it looks in the preview, click Publish. 

5. The new page is now live on your website. However, there is one more thing you need to do before you can make it your homepage.
Stage 2: Create a new posts page
Because WordPress shows posts on the homepage by default, when you switch to a static homepage, you’ll need to build a new page for the posts to be displayed on.
Note: If you do not intend to publish blog posts on your site, you can skip this step.
To create a posts page:

1. Go back to Pages > Add New. This time create a new page called ‘Posts’. Leave the page blank and click Publish.

You do not need to add any content to this page. Once it is designated as the ‘posts page’, WordPress will automatically populate it with your blog posts.  

Stage 3: Set up your new homepage and posts page

To designate your static homepage and new posts page, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Appearance > Themes > Customize > Homepage Settings

2. In the left sidebar, you will see the box below.

3. Under ‘Your homepage displays’ click the static page option.

4. In the Homepage dropdown menu, click the arrow and select the page called Home.

5. In the Posts page dropdown menu, click the arrow and select the page called Posts.

Note: If you do not intend to publish blog posts, keep the word Select in the options box and no posts page will be designated.

6. Click the Publish button at the top of the box.
Your new website settings are now in place. From now on, when someone visits your website homepage, the page they will see is the page called ‘Home’.

Users will now have to navigate to the posts page to see your blog entries.
This will have a URL that ends in /posts, such as yourwebsite.com/posts.
You may need to add this page to the menus or link to it somewhere so that others may easily locate it.
