Did You Miss Any Of These? Monthly Round-Up – March 2025

I only published four posts (including this one) this month, compared to eleven in March 2024. Yet, compared to March 2024, my blog only got around 100 fewer views.

SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) continues to play a big part in bringing new visitors to my blog, so don’t allow those who say that SEO doesn’t matter to tell you otherwise. SEO is important if you want more visitors and potentially new followers to your blog.

If you have any questions about SEO, leave them in the comments section.

Here is your opportunity to catch up on my three blog posts published in March 2025.

Hallo und "Help, please" an die WordPress-Expert*innen hier,
Ich komme über Suchmaschine und Chat-KI leider überhaupt nicht mehr weiter.

Habe mein Theme zu 2025 gewechselt (Permalinkstruktur hat sich nicht verändert). Seitdem funktionieren die Filter über Kategorien und Schlagworte nicht mehr. Statt der gefilterten Ergebnisse werden einfach immer alle Beiträge angezeigt. Woran kann das liegen und wie kann ich das beheben?

Thx a billion im Voraus. ✨

#WebDev friends, I could use your advice! 💡💻
I’m working on improving my #WordPress portfolio page at https://laniecarmelo.tech. My current portfolio is here: https://laniecarmelo.tech/dev-in-progress. I thought I was happy with the setup, but I realized it’s not filterable, which I definitely need as I add more projects! 😅
Each project includes a description, GitHub link, live demo, screenshot, and embedded demo. As a #BlindDeveloper, I can't visually assess layout changes, so I’d love any feedback on both functionality and design.
Now I’m looking for solutions:
1️⃣ Can anyone recommend #AccessibleWordPress plugins for filterable portfolios?
2️⃣ Any way to add filtering to my existing setup without server access?
3️⃣ Tips for keeping the portfolio page #accessibility-friendly and well-organized?
Thanks in advance for your help! 🙏

Is This WordPress Problem Affecting You? It's Been Reported https://hughsviewsandnews.com/2024/10/15/is-this-wordpress-problem-affecting-you-its-been-reported/ #BloggingAdvice, #BloggingHelp, #BloggingProblems, #BloggingTools, #Excerpts, #WordPress, #WordPressEmails, #WordPressHelp, #WordPressProblems

Does anyone know of a spam plugin that automatically marks posts with repeated keywords as spam. I don't need anything more complex.

(Yes, I know about Akismet. Do not want! Anything substantially more complex than what I'm asking about is likely to be looked at with suspicion, and not used.)

I get a lot of spam of the form:

"fnord fnord fnord
[blah]"

"glibble glibble glibble
[blah]"

I know these keywords are put there to see whether the comment is published. Marking these automatically as spam would cut down on a lot of crap.

Thanks.

I've searched, not finding useful posts, hoping for help. I have a personal Wordpress blog bikestylespokane.com. It has a bunch of pages with random unknown "author" bios clearly set up to get clicks to various sites. I never authorized these and they don't show on the actual Author list. Only found them accidentally looking at my stats report. Any way to find/delete in batches? How do I stop these from being created? Screenshot example below.

Wordpress.com backup plugin question:

I just installed "UpdraftPlus" plugin to backup my Wordpress site.

It can backup to GDrive. But the access it requires seems excessive. Apart from having access to the specific folder that it's backing up to, which is understandable, it also wants access to be able to download and see ALL my GDrive files.

That's not right, right?

Anyone recommend a Wordpress backup plugin that is safer than this?

Quick editor ignores my modifications if I change publish date at the same time, and also if I try to lock the modification date at the same time as changing it, so I have to quick edit at least three times per post.

…and now it’s refusing to save the new modified date at all, so I’m stuck. This is the worst behavior ever.
