WP Shield vs The Permalinker

Use short codes to dynamically link to your WordPress pages and posts. All you need is the ID. This can come in handy when developing content for WordPress sites. Makes for a cleaner migration with no need to manipulate content when moving from one subdirectory or domain to another. Attributes of append class, rel, and target are supported within the [permalink] opening tag. See FAQs. You can insert the token %post_title% to dynamically insert the post’s title into anchor text (content between the opening and closing shortcode). A short code for [template_uri] exists if you’d like to dynamically grab the full URL to your current template directory (useful for adding images and other resources bundled in a template via the page/post editor). Example 1: Create link. [permalink id=2 rel="internal"]Check out my latest post named %post_title%[/permalink] or use `[permalink]this link[/permalink]` to link to this post. Example 2: Output Permalink URL. ;This post. ; Example 3: Template Directory URI

This plugin will allow you to secure your development, staging and UAT environments with an http authentication block that can be controlled in admin but also turned off via a declared variable in your config file. It allows you to bring your Database back to non-production environments without having to physically turn off the plugin each time. Variable: define('WP_SHIELD_UN', ''); This simple line of code (recommended to add to a file ignored by your code management software and required into your wp_config.php file) will override the enabled flag if the plugin’s settings. Enable in production and add the above code. If that require file doesn’t exist in your other environments, it will prompt users for the set username and password.
