PrestaShop taxes not working in the product page, when user enters ‘Pre-tax retail price’ and selects the ‘Tax rule’, nothing changes in the Back Office or Front Office of PrestaShop.

Step 1.) Confirm that you have enabled the feature to display tax in the Back Office as ‘tax included’: BO > Customers > Groups

If that did not resolve your taxes from displaying, then go on to step two.

Step 2.) Go to theme and edit product.tpl

Line 256

{if $tax_enabled && ((isset($display_tax_label) && $display_tax_label == 1) OR !isset($display_tax_label))}
{if $priceDisplay == 1}{l s=’tax excl.’}{else}{l s=’tax incl.’}{/if}
{/if}

Replace with..

{if $tax_enabled && ((isset($display_tax_label) && $display_tax_label == 1) OR !isset($display_tax_label))}
{if $priceDisplay == 1}{l s=’tax excl.’}{else}{l s=’tax incl.’}{/if}
{/if}

Line 275

{if $tax_enabled && $display_tax_label == 1}
{if $priceDisplay == 1}{l s=’tax excl.’}{else}{l s=’tax incl.’}{/if}
{/if}

Replace with..

{if $tax_enabled && $display_tax_label == 1}
{if $priceDisplay == 1}{l s=’tax excl.’}{else}{l s=’tax incl.’}{/if}
{/if}

Don’t forget to recompile your smarty template after editing any .tpl file in the Back Office.
BO > Preferences > Performance > Smarty > Force compile

If I only had a dollar for every time that question has been posed to me, I could afford an iBrain!

First off, there is no standard price in what a website cost. This really depends on budget and comfort level you have. Websites can range from FREE, to thousands of dollars.

Here’s my layman analogy..

Let’s say you’re in the market for a car; you must have some budget in mind before shopping. You want to research performance, safety, reliability, etc.. And if possible, test drive the vehicle before purchasing.

The same goes with your web presence.

Regarding your requirements, you can go from an economical website cost to a very pricey one. Think of terms of transportation..

For example, riding the buss could be comparable to a website hosted on a shared hosting environment. Both are inexpensive and commonly used. However, travel will not be as efficient riding the buss.  Your limited to the destination a buss can travel. And your not the only one riding that buss. It has to drop off patrons; slowing you down with constant interruptions. Also, if a patron is sick, then the potential to catch the virus is prevalent.  Just like your website would become vulnerable to the environment it’s hosted on.  Now, if you had your own vehicle (VPS or dedicated server). Then your travel becomes more efficient, and limitations are greatly reduced!

Limitations may become greatly reduced on VPS or dedicated server with proper configurations & management.  Your VPS and Dedicated Server are comparable to automobile different makes & models. The differences are your configuration options. You can configure your server to respond like a sports car, light weight and fast.  Or configure server like a semi truck, heavy duty and moderate speed. But when a semi catches momentum, it can be very fast. Just don’t expect the same type of maneuverability as you would a small car.

Shopping for a car can become cumbersome, same applies to configuring your server. You want an efficient, secure and affordable vehicle; just like your server. These are operational and necessary in what a website cost.

Most hosting companies offer a control panel, or interface of some kind. Allowing you to configure sever to your requirements. Just like buying a car with options and extended warranties, your server is treated much the same. If your not comfortable handling server configurations, then you will have to find a managed solution. Don’t fret, because as soon as you drive out of that dealership, the open road is all yours!

So, driving your own car (VPS) verses riding the buss (shared hosting) can become costly in either direction. And you can’t have a website without a web server!

Over 95% of the people I encounter are capable of achieving there online objectives economically.  Using open source software, you can have a website up and running easily.  There are a lot of open source programs (wordpress, Joomla, etc.) that can be used to develop your website.  And if your host is using cPanel, then more likely open source programs are available for easy install using Softaculous plug-in.

And finally, the last necessary website cost. The domain name. Have you chosen a domain name? This is relevant to your branding and SEO on the web. More about domain names & SEO practices.

WordPress has evolved from just being Blog-wear to a powerful Contact Management System (CMS) that’s very sophisticated, extremely user friendly.  It’s not perfect, like a double edge sword, it works both ways.  If you don’t take proper precautions and updates, then your software is subjected to vulnerabilities.  As long as you take the necessary security precautions by reducing risks and carry updated backups, you will have a very pleasant experience.

Also, some hosting companies offer cPanel access options to install these open source software easily!

If your requirements surpass the benefits of Shared Hosting, then perhaps it’s best you look into Virtual Private Servers (my personal choice) or Dedicated Servers, depending on your budget.  You can also setup accounts with wordpress.com, blogger.com, etc. for free and utilize what options they provide.

Anyhow, you can do use Google and research the pros and cons.

Awesome wordpress security plugin WP Security & Firewall

The post Why Use WordPress As a Website or Blog? appeared first on My Web Development.

During my research, I figured this blog might of been my solution: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/redirections-to-127001-when-enabling-network
There was even a suggestion about the configuration within the nginx conf file and this did not resolve my issue; although, perhaps it might for you..

So many different suggestions regarding local host, yada, yada, none of the queries seemed to bring me much luck; until, I decided to revert my .htaccess in attempts this would work. YES, I was able to log back into my WordPress. After I reverted to previous .htaccess file, I was able to trouble shoot the issue and here is what I discovered.

Troubleshooting: WordPress 3.5+
My 127.0.0.1 Redirect Loop had to do with the plugin WP Security and the code it used inside .htaccess.

In WordPress, Dashboard; on the tool bar you will see option for WP Security > Firewall

WP Security > Firewall

If I enable the Basic Firewall Settings: fail
If I enable the WordPress Pingback Vulnerability Protection: fail

In either combination of enabling/disabling the above settings, no resolution was achieved.

So, with the Basic Firewall & Pingback Settings disabled, I troubleshooted ‘Brute Force Prevention’.

WP Security > Firewall > Brut Force Prevention: Enabled Brue Force attack Prevention & populated Secrete Word with the Re-Direcdt URL of http://127.0.0.1 (or where ever you want) and save (regenerating .htaccess file).

Conclusion

If you enabled WP Security plugin and in the Firewall options under Brute Force, you are provided a ‘secrete word’ as a login phrase; be sure you login into WordPress with the unique phrase or URL Brute Force provides.

So, instead of going to generic WordPress login: http://domain.com/wordpress/wp-admin
You would go to unique phrase WordPress login: http://domain.com/wordpress/?uniquephrase

And if that solution does not work for you, revert back to your old .htaccess file or copy the contents below and create your own .htaccess file & upload:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

It’s best security practice to use a different username & nickname, than the generic ‘admin’ provided during install.

So, here is how you change the username after you install WordPress..

First Step

Access your phpMyAdmin, select the WordPress database find ‘table_user’ and select edit and change to your unique name, then save.

Final Step

Log back into your WordPress with your new user name.

There are other methods and plugins that will change WordPress username; check out the resource section for more information. Personally, the less plugins the better!

WordPress Version 3.5+ allows multi-sites, so you can install WordPress in it’s own directory, powering the site from it’s root (http://example.com).
This method is cleaner, more secure way of archiving your WordPress.

Here are the steps I took, in Migrating WordPress.

NOTE: make any required backups before you perform any type of edits to your site. You will require a text editor, such as Notepad++ (preferred) to perform the following tasks.

First Step
downloaded WordPress 3.5+ and installed it in a desired directory /wordpress/ (e.g. http://example.com/wordpress/)

Second Step
Copy your index.php & .htaccess files to your root and perform the following edits to them.

Edit the index.php (line #17) file by including the directory where your WordPress resides.
Line# 17: require ( dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’ )

NOTE: do not include the / in front of wordpress (‘/wordpress/wp-..), otherwise it won’t work.

Third Step
Edit the .htaccess file you copied over to the root.
Remove the directory name /wordpress from the .htaccess: RewriteRule ./wordpress /index.php [L]

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

Final Setp

Go to Dashboard > Settings > General and adjust the following: Site Address (URL) http://example.com/wordpress/ over to: http://example.com

Visitors can access your WordPress from the root directory (e.g. http://example.com). Log into dashboard will still direct to where wordpress core files are located: http://example.com/wordpress/wp-admin/

NOTE: I strongly suggest using All In One WordPress Security and Firewall Plugin and secure your login access and follow through recommended features.

During development, it’s recommended to hide visibility, until ready for publications. However, the checkbox is always enabled upon installation, so most users forget that they are enabling the site to be viewable, when it’s not ready.  First impressions go a long way, same goes with users experience when they visit your site.

There has been some modifications to WordPress 3.5+ in where the option to discourage or enable Search Engine Visibility.

Log into your WordPress and go to Settings > Reading & there the options to enable or discourage is available.
