Symptom: WordPress running on NGINX cannot upload images or files. You may see an error message that tells you “permission denied” in the media uploader.

The Function // FORMAT PHONE NUMBERS function formatPhoneNumber($variableName) { global $$variableName; // Keep numbers only $$variableName = preg_replace(“[^0-9]”, “”, […]
If you’ve ever tried adding a background to the body element of a web page, you may have been a tad frustrated. By itself, the background will only cover the used portion of the page. If the height of the browser window is taller than the page, your background is cut short.
Permanently moving one domain to another is a huge task. Creating a single redirect for each page on your site is unrealistic and would suck the very life from your body.
