What is a gem?A RubyGem is a software package, commonly called a “gem”. Gems contain a packaged Ruby application or library. The RubyGems software itself allows you to easily download, install, and manipulate gems on your system.

Commands: list, install, update, uninstall

Wordless Theme anatomy

1. A structured, organized and clean theme organization (taken directly from Rails)

Wordless

The index.php serves as a router to all the theme views

if (is_front_page()) { render_view("static/homepage)"); } else if (is_post_type_archive("portfolio_work")) { render_view("portfolio/index"); } else if (is_post_type("portfolio_work")) { render_view("portfolio/show"); }

Wordless

Layouts (theme/views/layouts directory)Just like Rails, when Wordless renders a view as a response, it does so by combining the view with a layout. Within a layout, you have access to the yield() helper to combine it with the main content

Wordless

Initializers (config/initializers/*.php files)Remember the freaky functions.php file, the one where you would drop every bit of code external to the theme views (custom post types, taxonomies, wordpress filters, hooks, you name it). That was just terrible, isn't it? Well, forget it. Wordless let you split your code into many modular initializer files, each one with a specific target

CoffeescriptCoffeeScript is a little language that compiles into JavaScript. Underneath that awkward Java-esque patina, JavaScript has always had a gorgeous heart. CoffeeScript is an attempt to expose the good parts of JavaScript in a simple way.

WordmoveWordmove is a nice little gem that lets you automatically mirror local Wordpress installations and DB data back and forth from your local development machine to the remote staging server. SSH and FTP connections are both supported.

Think of it like Capistrano for Wordpress, complete with push/pull capabilities.

Wordless Extender(experimental)

Wordless Extender (WlE from now on) is a starting point for every Wordlress theme we develop at weLaika. After years of hard work we have starred a few plugins, best practices and security enhacements. WlE is a collection of those and let you control all this so cool things within the WordPress backend, in a fast and familiar way.

github.com/welaika/wordless-extender

Plugin Manager

Never change a winning team! These are our starred and often used plugins; with these we cover the 90% of our developing needs. You'll have a control panel inside WlE to list, enable, disable and upgrade plugins from the collection; never search that useful plugin crawling the WP.org repo and have colleagues kickstart projects with always the same plugin set, making the teamwork easier and more coherent over the time.

wp-config.php Constants Manager

Manage WP constants (stored in your wp-config.php) directly within the WP backend!

We got inspired by WordPress guidelines and we crafted this little control panel. It is intended for advanced users: we are not interested in making things easy, with fluffy names or other strategies, but we'd like to remember important/complex/abstruse settings and have them always just one click away

Everytime you'll update these configs wp-config.php file will be backed-up in wp-config-backup.php. Keep it safe in mind.

Security fixes

This is the most important section in our hearts: improving WP security. Most of the tricks are directly from Hardening Wordpress guide; others are paranoid tricks discovered on battlefield. Keep in mind that you have to know what you are doing; follow the comments in the panel below if you are confused. Remind that when you'll let the plugin rewrite your .htaccess file, it will take a backup copy of the last version in htaccess_backup. If you are asking about what exoteric things are we doing with your .htaccess, well, go read the template in resources/htaccess. Essentially we'll block access to varius files and locations which is better if locked down (strange query strings, access to txt files in core/theme/plugins, markdown files, wp debug error log, ecc). We are always at work to improve this section, so if you have some tips open us an issue or send us a pull request.

Wordless integration

WlE menu in the WP backend, will be integrated with the Wordless new (will be in the next tagged release 0.4) custom backend menu, creating one place to control them all!

Wordless has (and will have moar!) helpers dedicated to the WlE's plugin collection. Let contribute to the helpers too, if interested!

Why a off-site backup?- more secure- advanced backup systems without limits by inside Wordpress backups- avaible datas for out production tasks (e.g. Security scan)

Backup. Or GTFO

Long Running

- If the backup is in the same WordPress folder on the same webserver and the site is compromised, the backup itself is compromised- If the WP installation has problems, the backup is not affected

Off-site BKP – More secure

Long Running

- Incremental backups- Does not affect the web server performances (storage, CPU usage, etc...)

Off-site BKP – Advanced

Long Running

- If WebServer is down, we have datas avaible- Datas avaibles for strong tasks, in indipendent systems and right resources (like passive security)

Off-site BKP – Availability

Maldet - www.rfxn.com/projects/linux-malware-detect/Linux Malware Detect (LMD) is a malware scanner for Linux released under the GNU GPLv2 license, that is designed around the threats faced in shared hosted environments. It uses threat data from network edge intrusion detection systems to extract malware that is actively being used in attacks and generates signatures for detection. In addition, threat data is also derived from user submissions with the LMD checkout feature and from malware community resources.lfbg.pl - github.com/pioneerskies/lfbg.plThis little script's scope is to act as regex collection in order to do code scanning about maliciuos code and files.
