Maintenance since June 2020

Summer 2018.

Security certificate that you obtained.

I did the following to the .htaccess file so that all accesses to the site would be secure.

# Next two rules added by JD to make all accesses use secure HTTP
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

This then stopped Steven from being able to post his ‘News from Elsewhere’. So I temporarily put the .htaccess file back to its original state.

2020

17th June. News from Elsewhere to use Postie Plugin.

When Steven started to post News from Elsewhere, David Hastings used the JetPack plugin to set up ‘Post by email’. But by that method posting by email won’t work with the security in place. See:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_to_your_blog_using_email

I installed another Plugin mentioned on the above page – ‘Postie’. It works by polling emails from an email address set up to receive the posts. It can be configured to accept posts from certain email addresses only. Also to post to a particular category (e.g. OtherNews).

17th June. HTTPS enabled

Our website can now be addressed as:

https://camdencyclists.org.uk/

which means the server is now using our security certificate to validate the site’s identity.

If you look on Chrome it will still say ‘Not Secure’ because we have lots of internal links to images etc that may not be protected (the ones on Flickr are) and as far as I can see, most of them are internal links on our website.

Upgraded WordPress to 5.3.2

George fixed settings in Events Manager – OpenStreetMaps

July 10th on…Checking and fixing internal links

Used WPLink Status to generate scans. (internal links only)

Errors from News From Elsewhere due mainly to links such as /author in the source becoming our links plus a few images that we should not have captured.

Our own links that had been http and are translated by the code in .htaccess. Have been fixing those…
