phpMyAdmin SQL Search and Replace: Safer WordPress Updates
phpMyAdmin lets you run SQL queries directly against a MySQL or MariaDB database. One common use is finding and replacing a URL or text string in a specific table column. This can be fast, but a broad UPDATE query changes data immediately, so first preview the matches and create a verified database backup. This guide shows the basic SQL REPLACE() function, a safer preview-first workflow, and an example for WordPress post content. For a whole-site WordPress migration, prefer WP-CLI's serialized-data-aware search-replace command or a reputable migration tool rather than running blind replacements across arbitrary tables.

Fix the PHP upload_max_filesize Error in WordPress
If WordPress displays “The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini”, PHP is rejecting the upload because the file is larger than the configured limit. The fix is to change the PHP upload settings used by your website, then check any additional limits imposed by WordPress, your web server, or your hosting provider. The correct method depends on your hosting setup. Use your host's PHP settings editor when available; otherwise, ask your hosting provider which configuration file applies to your domain. Editing a theme's functions.php file will not reliably change PHP upload limits.

How to set a WordPress Static Front Page
WordPress normally displays your latest blog posts on the front page. If you would rather greet visitors with a custom landing page, portfolio, or introduction, you can assign a published WordPress Page as your static homepage and keep your blog posts on a separate page. This setting changes what visitors see at your site's home address. It does not convert posts into pages or remove your blog. Your posts remain published and can appear on the separate Posts page.

How to Fix Uneven Word Spacing in WordPress
Large or uneven gaps between words in a WordPress post are often caused by CSS text justification. When a paragraph uses text-align: justify, the browser stretches spaces so each line reaches both edges of its text container. This can look awkward in narrow columns, on mobile screens, or in paragraphs with short lines. This issue is controlled by your theme's CSS, not by WordPress post content itself. The original problem described here appeared in the old Kubrick theme, but the same CSS behavior can occur with modern themes.

How to Add a Banner to a Specific WordPress Page
You can display a banner on one WordPress page without showing it across your entire site. The best method depends on whether the banner is simply part of the page content or needs to be controlled by a reusable page template.

How to Manually Update WordPress (Safe Upgrade Guide)
This guide explains how to update WordPress manually when the dashboard update fails or you need to replace core files yourself. For most sites, the built-in Dashboard → Updates process is the safer and easier first choice. A manual update can cause downtime or data loss if files are replaced incorrectly, so make a verified backup before proceeding.

Adding AdSense Ads between WordPress posts
This guide explains how to place Google AdSense ads between posts on a WordPress blog index or archive page. The original method was written for older classic WordPress themes, so the template names and markup may not match modern themes such as Astra. For current WordPress sites, make changes in a child theme or use a maintained ad-management solution rather than editing the parent theme. Back up the site first and test the placement on desktop and mobile. Keep ads clearly distinguishable from post content and navigation, and follow Google's current AdSense ad placement policies. If you want to place ads on category archive pages instead, see How to Add AdSense Ads Between Posts on WordPress Category Pages.
