Disable Directory Listings

Prevent virtual directory listing services from listing the contents of directories, and/or show a page in place of a directory’s listing. The Apache web server can be configured to automatically display the listings of the contents of a web site’s file directory if no index file (i.e. index.html or index.php) is present. This can expose files and information to visitors. Of course the web server could be configured to not do this (the recommended approach), but sometimes you don’t have permission (you’re on a shared host), the know-how, or you want to selectively disallow virtual directory listings. That’s where this plugin can help. If you want to test if your site has virtual directory listings enabled, try visiting http://www.YOURSITE.com/wp-includes (obviously, change the domain to match your own). If you see a listing of PHP files then virtual directory listing is enabled for your site. This plugin can prevent visitors from seeing the contents of certain (or all) directories on your site (assuming your web server generates virtual directory listings). It also allows you to use a WordPress page as the index for a directory By default, the following directories are protected: wp-includes/ wp-content/ wp-content/plugins/ wp-content/themes/ It does NOT protect any other directory by default. You can change this via the plugin’s admin settings page. TIP: When this plugin is activated (and more specifically, ater the permalink structure is updated as per the instructions below), WordPress will generate the themed 404 – Not Found page. If you were to create a Page with the same name as one of the directories being disabled (i.e. ‘wp-includes’ or ‘wp-content’) then that page will be displayed instead of the 404 error message. If you want to display a page for the ‘plugins’ and ‘themes’ directory, you must create them as children pages of a ‘wp-content’ page. NOTE: This plugin only works for the Apache web server.

Extra Sentence Space

Even though you may add two spaces after each sentence when writing a post (assuming you subscribe to a writing style that suggests such spacing) web browsers will collapse consecutive blank spaces into a single space when viewed. This plugin adds a (non-breaking space) after sentence-ending punctuation to retain the appearance of your two-space intent. NOTE: The plugin will only enforce the two-space gap in places where two or more spaces actually separate sentences in your posts. It will NOT insert a second space if only one space is present. Links: Plugin Homepage | Plugin Directory Page | GitHub | Author Homepage Hooks The plugin is further customizable via two filters. Typically, these customizations would be put into your active theme’s functions.php file, or used by another plugin. c2c_extra_sentence_space The ‘c2c_extra_sentence_space’ filter allows you to use an alternative approach to safely invoke c2c_extra_sentence_space() in such a way that if the plugin were deactivated or deleted, then your calls to the function won’t cause errors in your site. This only applies if you use the function directly, which is not typical usage for most users. Example: Instead of: Do: c2c_extra_sentence_space_punctuation The ‘c2c_extra_sentence_space_punctuation’ filter allows you to customize the punctuation, characters, and/or symbols after which double-spacing (when present) is preserved. By default these are ‘.!?’. Arguments: $punctuation (string): The default characters after which double-spacing should be preserved. Default is ‘.!?’. Example: /** * Modifies the list of characters after which two spaces should be preserved * to include a forward slash. * * @param string $punctuation The punctuation. * @return string */ function more_extra_space_punctuation( $punctuation ) { // Add the '/' and ')' characters to the list of characters return $punctuation . '/)'; } add_filter( 'c2c_extra_sentence_space_punctuation', 'more_extra_space_punctuation' );
