How To Use Managed WordPress For Writing Lessons, Treatises & Essays As Blog Posts?

Managed WordPress at Sangkrit.net is a packaged service that lets you create and manage any kind of website you want with all built-in SEO, security, and backup software.

To start your website you will need to register your domain name and then subscribe to a Managed WordPress plan. Once you do that, the automated process will guide you to the admin area of your website where you can create new pages and posts.

This lesson is about using WordPress to write long articles as blog posts. For very long articles such as essays and lessons with multiple headings, you need to add a table of contents at the top of the post to ease things for your readers.

Create A Category

The category feature on your WordPress site lets you create a hierarchical structure of categories that you can assign to your posts. Suppose you are willing to post lessons on a certain subject. Simply create a category in the name of the subject and then assign all lessons to that specific category. This is done while writing posts from the Posts -> Add New screen.

You can also add a link to the category on your website from the Appearance -> Menus page. The category link can be obtained from the Posts -> Categories page where you can also manage all other categories on your website.

Enable Table Of Contents

Next, each article will have its own headings so to make a table of content simply install a WordPress plugin called Automatic TOC – Table of Contents. Next, all you need to do is paste a shortcode [toc] in your post wherever you like the table of contents to appear and it will automatically create and display a TOC from all heading tags you have used in your post.

Easily Enable Voice Typing On Your WordPress Blog

You can easily convert your voice i.e. your speech into text while writing blog posts on your WordPress Website. You simply need to press a button on the ‘Add New’ post page and then start dictating your words and you will see that your voice is being converted into text automatically.

To start you need to have a WordPress site. If you yet don’t have one you can make it now simply by registering your domain name and then subscribing to a Managed WordPress plan.

How To Convert Your Voice Into Post?

Log in to your website and visit Plugins -> Add New page. On the search box type the keyword ‘Speech to Text’ and press the Enter key. Now install the ‘Speech to Text’ plugin and click the ‘Activate’ button.

Visit Posts -> Add New page and you will see a new meta box with the title ‘Speech to Text’ has been added by the plugin. On this meta box, you simply need to click the ‘Record’ button and start speaking your thoughts and it will work like a writer writing everything for you.

You don’t need to type anymore but that doesn’t means you cannot write with a keyboard. Voice-to-text works as an add-on feature that is surely going to help you in reducing the load of typing through your fingers.

Chrome browser is necessary for the feature to work and the microphone is the hardware required by the plugin. If you are doing it on a mobile or laptop, they already have one.

Selling Products With Variations In Your WordPress Ecommerce Website

WordPress Ecommerce allows anyone to start his own online store simply by registering his domain name and then subscribing to the WordPress Ecommerce plan.

This lesson teaches you how you can sell products that have multiple variations such as color and size etc on your WordPress Ecommerce website.

There is a feature called Variable Products that allows you to offer a set of variations on any product, with control over pricing, stock, image, and more for each variation.

These can be used for selling products such as clothes and shoes etc where you can offer a large, medium and small and in different colors.

First – Set the product type – For adding a variable product, simply create a new product or open an existing one to edit on which you want to add variation. Now select Variable product from the Product Data dropdown displayed in the Product Data section.

Second – You need to add attributes that you will use to set the variations:

From the Attributes section on Product Data, you need to add attributes before creating variations — you may use global attributes that works site wide or you may define custom ones for specific products.

Adding Global Attributes

To add a global attribute: Simply select one from the dropdown and click Add. You may choose to select all options for adding all attributes to the variable product.

Now tick the Used for variations checkbox to set it as your variation.

Adding Product-Specific Attributes

If you want to add new attributes which are only specific to this product then select Custom product attribute and click Add button.

Set this as required:

  • Name the attribute such as Size
  • Set values separated by a vertical pipe (like this – small | medium | large)
  • Now enable the Used for variations checkbox and then click Save attributes.

Finally, Adding Variations

On the Variations section in the Product Data meta box visible on Add New and Edit product screens, Select Add variation from the dropdown menu, and then click Go.

Select attributes for your variation. You can change additional data, click the triangle icon to expand the variation. Here you would be able to edit any available data. The only required field is Regular Price. Select your options and save changes.

That’s it. Now on the front end, while viewing a variable product, the customer will be offered options to select a variation. Selecting the options will display information about that variation.

Enabling Face Recognition Login On Your Managed WordPress Website

Whether you run your website over Managed WordPress or WordPress Ecommerce, you can secure your website or online store by enabling facial recognition that works from your smartphone or laptop, anything that has a camera.

By enabling it on your website, you will no longer need the username and password and it will also add more security to your website as the bots attempting to log in and the brute force attack won’t get anything.

To set up face log in simply login to your website and install-activate the new WordPress plugin called FiD Facial Recognition Admin Login. Then, visit its settings page and enter the required information. You will need to use a pin number and your face for authenticated login.

Next, to start securing admin user accounts, navigate to the ‘Users’ tab, enlist the admin account and follow the instructions. As soon as a user is enlisted, the plugin will start to protect his login by implementing facial identification.

How To Setup A Global Selling Store With WordPress Ecommerce?

Anyone can start abroad selling by setting up an international store with WordPress Ecommerce. Then, let people know about it by blogging about your business and implementing Search Engine Visibility.

You can do that all on your own, it is no more a difficult task when you are using WordPress Ecommerce.

Start Your eCommerce Website

Start by registering your domain name and then subscribe to WordPress Ecommerce as well as Search Engine Visibility for better exposure of your business on the internet.

Here the automated process starts asking you a few questions and then you are taken to your store’s dashboard where you can add products, write blog posts, and manage all settings.

Making Your Website Multilingual

Since you are going global so selecting your store’s language is an important thing to do. Not all countries speak English but many do. So you can either just stick to English which is the default selection of your website or if you have chosen some other language you can easily change it from your admin area Settings -> General -> Site Language section.

Alternatively, you can make your website multilingual and also add a ‘Translate’ option to your website by installing a plugin called Weglot Translate.

Selecting Payments, Taxes & Shipping Options

The next important thing, you need to do for global selling is select and set up the payment options. PayPal is one global payment option but there are more options you can select from such as Square, Apple Pay, Direct Bank Transfer, E-Checks, Card Payments, etc.

The payment options can be configured from your eCommerce Settings -> Payments page. The tax calculation can also be implemented as per the client’s location from eCommerce Settings -> Tax page. Similarly, shipping can be configured from eCommerce Settings -> Shipping page.

Adding Products For Sale

Once you have selected your options you may start adding products to your website for sale.

These can be done from the Products -> Add New page. Don’t forget to add a featured image and the price of your product. All fields are there, you can easily use them for adding your product details and pricing, etc.

Securing Your Website

You should also keep your website protected and keep customers safe. SSL is automatically implemented on WordPress Ecommerce websites but you should also subscribe to Website Security which is a comprehensive and simplified security solution for all site owners.

Enabling Customers Support Messaging On Your WordPress Ecommerce Website

You can allow customers on your WordPress Ecommerce website to send queries or messages to you. These may include:

  1. Product information
  2. Order-related messages
  3. Refund-related messages
  4. Dispute-related messages

This way you can get closer to your customers by satisfying their queries while they make a purchase. When someone sends a message, the shop owners are also alerted by email. You get notifications on receiving new messages from shoppers.

In many cases, shoppers sometimes need more information about specific points, and when that information is not given to them they leave the site. Providing email support and customer care online is good but this direct messaging feature makes the process handier for your customers. This also gives the shop owner a chance to land a sale.

How To Setup Messaging On WordPress Ecommerce?

Simply install-activate the new plugin called Inbox For WooCommerce. Upon activation, the plugin enables your customers to easily inquire about any product right from its page.

At the backend, the plugin also provides you with an interface to manage messages from your WordPress dashboard. Each message sent from shoppers are handled as a ticket by the shop owners and moved across different status until it is resolved. You can also assign these tickets to other members.

Reduce The Time CSS Takes To Load On Your WordPress Website

In the case of CSS, there are two factors that affect the loading of CSS on your website. First is the size of the CSS file working on your web page and second is the number of CSS files actively working on your web page.

Hence, if your website is taking longer to open then CSS could be one reason. To resolve the issue you should choose your WordPress theme wisely. You may stick to the default WordPress theme or select one from the popular WordPress theme by clicking the ‘Most Popular’ filter on Themes -> Add New section because popular themes become popular when they perform better.

Now if you have a good WordPress theme and your website is working fine. Still, you can reduce its loading time by lazy loading necessary CSS files on your website.

How To Lazy Load CSS On Your Website?

Simply install-activate the new WordPress plugin called Lazy Load CSS. Upon activation, visit the plugin’s settings page on your dashboard and specify the CSS stylesheet files that you want to lazy load, and the plugin will do the rest.

What CSS Should Be Avoided?

Lazy-loading important CSS files of your theme or CSS files used on the viewport or above the fold may result in issues with the design of your website.

You should only lazy load the CSS that is below the first fold of your website. That means lazy load only those sections that appear when a user scrolls down on your website. In other words, lazy loads only the content that is not visible without scrolling otherwise the first view of your website could be blank for some seconds, and that is something nobody wants.

The plugin works well in reducing the time your website takes to load and improving FCP i.e. First Contentful Paint as well as LCP i.e. Largest Contentful Paint scores, and the overall performance of your website.

If you yet don’t have a website you can easily have one by registering your domain name and subscribing to a Managed WordPress plan with or without the eCommerce option and the system will guide you in bringing your website online in less than an hour.

Enabling WordPress Ecommmerce Payment Options By Customer’s Location

The lesson guides you on how you set different payment options on the basis of the customer’s location. For example, suppose you want to accept direct bank transfers only from users located in your country or you want to accept cash on delivery only from nearby customers.

By installing and activating the new WordPress plugin called Dynamic Payment Gateways for WooCommerce, you can set payment options to your customer’s location. You can disable certain payment gateways by geolocation of your client which is auto-tracked by your website either from the billing address or the IP address.

Why WordPress Keeps Redirecting You To Old Web Address?

This issue is experienced especially when you move your WordPress site from a subdirectory or subdomain to the main domain. Maybe you have developed your website on a subdomain or directory and now you want to move it to your main domain address.

Whatsoever may be the case, if you see that your domain is still trying to send you to that old address then make sure of the reasons mentioned below.

Have you checked the .htaccess file for any manual redirects?

The .htaccess file is present in the root directory of WordPress. On the server, it is hidden by default. There are some plugins especially cache and SEO plugins that make modifications to this file which may cause redirect issues at the time you migrate your website to a new address.

To make sure your .htaccess file is free from any manual redirects, visit the file manager of your web-hosting or server, navigate to the root directory of your website, and open the .htaccess file for editing.

Next, make sure you don’t have any manual redirect code, if you have then remove it. You may simply remove all additional rules and leave only WordPress default rules in this file.

Have you updated the new address of your website on the admin settings page?

Before moving your website you need to update the new address of your website on Dashboard -> Settings -> General page. You need to update both the ‘Home’ and ‘Site URL’ fields.

In case you don’t do that, your domain will keep redirecting to that old address. Somehow if you forgot to change the URL of your site and have already moved the files then now what you can do is update the wp-config.php file by adding this code –

define('WP_HOME','http://yoursite.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://yoursite.com');

Make sure you replace yoursite.com with your own domain name. It simply hardcodes the values on your website.

Another way of doing the same is by editing the wp-options table of your MySQL database.

May be old URL is hardcoded in any of your plugins

Another reason for this error is sometimes some plugin hardcodes the old address of your website and attempts to load it during the login process.

So once you are sure that the ‘Home URL’ and the ‘Site URL’ have been properly updated then the next thing you should do is visit your site’s root directory -> wp-content and rename the ‘Plugin’ folder. This will simply deactivate all plugins. Now try to open your website.

If this trick works then you can log in to your website and start re-activating plugins one by one. Following this way, you will reach the plugin that is causing the problem. To resolve the issue, simply delete the error-causing plugin.

Next, clear your browser’s cache and see whether the error is gone or not. If the problem persists then use the following comment form to get in touch or you may contact 24/7 phone-call support if you are a user of SANGKRIT.net.

Get Rid Of Every Possible 404-Not-Found Error On WordPress

The most common error that takes away your traffic is 404 i.e. PAGE NOT FOUND error because as soon as the visitor sees it, he closes the browser’s tab to visit somewhere else.

Now you know how to conditionally redirect any link on WordPress but are you really aware of every 404 PAGE NOT FOUND error that is snatching away the visitors of your website?

What if you have a big website with lots of posts and you are not sure what links may cause a page-not-found-error? One way that can solve almost all of your problems with dead links is redirecting every user on your website to the content he wants to read.

In order words, you can convert every expired link into an intelligently working link on your website.

So how is that possible?

You just need to install-activate a WordPress plugin called Link Fixer, once activated the plugin automatically fixes all active and possible 404 errors on your website.

How does It work for the visitor?

The plugin searches the database to find any of the values especially the words that match the dead link requested by the client. Once, it finds the best match, it sends the user to that page. As a result, the user sees the content he was looking up for.

How does it work for search engine crawlers?

Google and other search engine spiders simply find the 301 redirects so they can update their results accordingly.

The best solution for users moving to WordPress

The plugin is a great solution for users planning to move their website from any platform to WordPress. Where sometimes the conversion process removes words such as “the” and “a” from the permalinks and generates many 404-page-not-found errors.

It also offers you some settings on your dashboard Settings -> Link Fixer page to let you modify values and set your own parameters.

Even if you don’t make any settings. Simply activating the plugin will get rid of every 404 error on your WordPress site.

How to know that your links are fixed?

Simply mistype any permalink or temporarily add a broken link somewhere on your website then click that link to see how intelligently you are redirected to the right page.

Conditionally Redirect Any Link On WordPress

You can decide what links, users, and HTTP codes you want to send on what specific pages and set your own redirection rules on WordPress.

This means you can redirect links by HTTP codes, on the basis of whether the user is logged in or logged out, redirect specific URLs or permalink structure, etc, easily with the help of a plugin.

Although, these redirect implementations can also be done via cPanel using the domain redirect rules or by using the .htaccess file present in the root directory of your website. But to make things easier for newbie users, the Redirect Redirection plugin is programmed with an easy interface to do the same from the admin panel of your website. Its simplified functions are made available to help users that are not familiar with coding and defining redirects via the technical interface of the server.

The main features of the plugin include:

  • Options to redirect any HTTP code that can be 301, 302, 303, 304, 307 and 308
  • Options for defining the inclusion and exclusion rules for the logged in & out users, specific user role, user’s referrer link, user’s agent, user’s cookie, user’s IP, server, and also the language
  • Several options to set redirection rules that include simple as well as advanced RegEx matches. The URLs that contain specific string to new or removed string, URLs that start with something, specific permalink structures, and soon 404s redirects would also be available. Apart from this, the setting redirection rules with several matching conditions is also possible with this plugin
  • Options to manage all redirects comfortably by enabling or disabling links, modifying or deleting the redirects neatly listed on the admin page
  • You can set automatic redirects, change URL, and also import or export redirection lists, these features are under development and would be availble soon to you

How to set it to work on your website?

To start you will need to install-activate the new WordPress plugin called Redirect Redirection. Once activated visit its admin page on your dashboard and select the option to add your own redirect rule.

You will see that there are several options to let you set your own link redirect condition. You can define as many rules you want and also you can keep a backup of that, the plugin offers you the option to import and export the URL redirection rules you have created on your WordPress website.
