The Ultimate Guide to Backing Up Your WordPress Site: Safeguard Your Digital Oasis

In the vast digital landscape, where your WordPress website stands as your digital oasis, safeguarding it becomes paramount. With the potential risks of cyber threats, server failures, or accidental deletions looming, having a robust backup strategy is not just advisable—it's essential.

Best WordPress Backup Plugins

When it comes to securing your WordPress site, selecting the right backup method is crucial. Among the plethora of options available, utilizing WordPress backup plugins emerges as one of the most efficient and convenient approaches. These plugins streamline the backup process, ensuring your website's data remains intact, even in adversity.

So, what exactly is the best way to back up WordPress? Let's delve deeper into the various methods and strategies that can help you fortify your digital fortress.

Automatic Backups: One of the most hassle-free ways to ensure consistent backups is by employing automatic backup solutions provided by WordPress plugins. These plugins allow you to schedule regular backups, eliminating the need for manual intervention. With features like incremental backups, they efficiently capture changes made to your site, minimizing the backup duration and resource usage.

Cloud Storage Integration: Opting for backup plugins that offer seamless integration with cloud storage services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or Amazon S3 can further enhance the reliability and accessibility of your backups. By storing your data in the cloud, you ensure redundancy and accessibility from anywhere, anytime.

Comprehensive Site Restoration: In addition to backup functionality, prioritize plugins that offer comprehensive site restoration capabilities. A reliable backup solution should empower you to effortlessly restore your website to a previous state in the event of data loss or site malfunction. Look for features like one-click restoration and selective file restoration to streamline the recovery process.

Security and Encryption: Security should be at the forefront of your backup strategy. Choose plugins that prioritize data encryption and adhere to industry-standard security practices to safeguard your sensitive information. Features like encryption algorithms, secure connections, and password protection ensure that your backups remain immune to unauthorized access or tampering.

Regular Testing and Verification: Merely creating backups isn't sufficient; you must also verify their integrity regularly. Opt for backup plugins that offer built-in verification mechanisms to ensure the completeness and consistency of your backups. Additionally, periodically test the restoration process to ascertain its effectiveness and identify any potential issues proactively.

Customization and Flexibility: Every website has unique requirements, so opt for backup plugins that offer customization and flexibility to cater to your specific needs. Whether it's selecting specific files or databases for backup, defining retention policies, or configuring backup frequency, prioritize plugins that empower you to tailor the backup process according to your preferences.

By incorporating these strategies and leveraging the capabilities of WordPress backup plugins, you can establish a robust backup regimen that provides comprehensive protection for your website. Remember, the best way to safeguard your digital oasis is through proactive preparation and reliable backup solutions.

In conclusion, safeguarding your WordPress site through effective backup strategies is imperative in today's digital landscape. By utilizing WordPress backup plugins and implementing best practices, you can fortify your website against potential threats and ensure uninterrupted operation. So, don't wait until disaster strikes—take proactive steps today to secure your digital oasis.

Backing Up Fanfiction with Calibre + FanFicFare (with screenshots!)

If you've been reading fanfiction for any significant length of time, you've probably had the horrifying realization that a fic or series that you absolutely loved was deleted. Maybe the author was harassed or stalked, maybe they didn't want an abandoned WIP lying around, or maybe they just didn't like the fandom any more. Whatever the reason, it is so important to back up your favorite fanfictions.

Calibre is one of the most popular ebook management softwares available, primarily because:

It is full-featured and fairly easy to use

It has a large plugin ecosystem (like Firefox's addons)

It's available for most operating systems

It's completely free

By "ebook management", I mean it can do things like indexing and searching a library of your books, downloading covers and metadata for them, etc. I originally got Calibre for backing up ebooks I had purchased from various online stores in case they ever shut down (like Microsoft Books) or decided they wanted to take a book back (like Amazon has done), and so I could read in whatever app I wanted.

BUT, remember that plugin ecosystem I mentioned? JimmXinu took advantage of that to create FanFicFare, a plugin that allows Calibre to download stories from over 100 creative writing sites (primarily fanfiction archives, but also erotic writing sites among others).

Just paste in the URL to an AO3 fic, for example, and it will:

Download the fic in your preferred format (EPUB, MOBI, TXT, HTML, others)

Fill in all the metadata for you (story name, author + AO3 pseuds, the fic's order in a series, if the fic is complete or not, word count, all tags, etc.)

Generate an ebook cover from scratch OR using art that was embedded in the fic

From here you can just click on a tag to find all other fics in your library with the same tag; you can also click into the author or the series. It's almost like having a mini-AO3 on your computer, one that is always available and where fics never get deleted.

Installing Calibre

Download Calibre from here, choosing the appropriate copy for your operating system

Run the Calibre installer and click through the wizard. For most people the default options work well.

Open Calibre; the Welcome Wizard should appear and walk you through initial setup

Choose your language, and the place on your computer where you want Calibre to store the fics/ebooks that it downloads, then click Next.

Select the device you use most often to read fanfiction on. This helps Calibre decide what format ebooks should be stored in (but you can override it with FanFicFare later)

You should now have Calibre open with an empty library. NOW we want to install several plugins to teach it how to handle fanfics.

Installing Calibre Plugins

First up is Count Pages. This plugin counts the words and pages in a fanfiction and shows it in Calibre so you know whether the fic you're looking at is a oneshot or a behemoth.

Look for an icon like the one below and click it to open Calibre preferences.

2. Under the "Advanced" section, click "Plugins"

3. At the bottom of the Plugins dialog, click "Get New Plugins"

4. Type "Count Pages" into the "Filter by name" search box at the top right. Once the plugin is visible in the list, click it, then click "Install". It will bring up a prompt about the security risks, but we are only installing well-known plugins today (ex. ZimmXinu has been developing FanFicFare for over a decade). Click Yes to install the plugin.

5. It will then prompt you to restart Calibre in order to begin using the plugin, but just click "Ok" because we're going to install a couple more plugins first.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for three more plugins: "Generate Covers", "EpubMerge", and "FanFicFare"; once all 4 plugins are installed, close Calibre completely and open it again. You should now have several new buttons on your Calibre menu bar:

FanFicFare is now installed! But we still have a little bit of work to do to unlock its full capabilities.

Configuring FanFicFare for Your Fanfic Site of Choice

So FanFicFare is now installed, but right now if you tell it to look at a fic on AO3, it will be browsing AO3 as a new, anonymous user without an account. This means that:

It won't be able to see explicit fics because it hasn't accepted the "See adult works" prompt

It won't be able to see locked fics (ones you can only read if you are logged in to AO3; these are very common nowadays as authors try to prevent AI engines from scraping their fics and flooding them with spam comments).

So we need to configure FanFicFare to accept the adult prompt (if you'd like to download anything rated higher than T), and we also need to give it our AO3 username and password so it can download locked fics on our behalf.

Click the dropdown arrow to the right of the FanFicFare button in the Calibre toolbar. A dropdown menu will appear. Click "Configure FanFicFare"

2. At the top of the "Basic" tab, select your prefered download format (if you prefer a format not listed, like PDF, don't worry, Calibre can convert it for you later).

3. Click the "Personal" tab in the FanFicFare settings dialog, then click "Edit personal.ini"

4. It will open a very basic text editor where you can type your personal fanfic site details for FanFicFare to use. If the box is small and text is cut off or hard to read, resize the editor window by hovering over the edge of the window until your cursor changes into an arrow with two heads, then click and drag to expand the window.

5. Type "is_adult" (without the quotes) into the Find bar, then click Find. The first result should be this a line that looks like "# is _adult:true". Delete the "#" and the space after it to uncomment the line; the text color of that line should change from yellow to green and light purple.

6. Type "archiveofourown" (without quotes) into the Find bar, then click Find until you see a section that looks like the one below (it should be the first or second result):

7. Type your AO3 login details after the "username" and "password" text. Do not put any spaces between the colons and your username or password. Note that your password is stored in plaintext in this file, so don't let anyone else get a hold of it.

8. Skip this step if the only site you're interested in downloading from is AO3. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each fanfiction or erotic writing website you use. There are only a few sites in personal.ini out of the box, so you may have to copy a specific site's configuration section from defaults.ini, which has example sections for all 100+ supported sites.

9. Click "OK" to close the personal.ini text editor, then click "OK" again to close the Customize FanFicFare box.

Whew! Lots of clicking but you're done now! Time to download some fanfic.

Downloading or Updating Fanfic(s)

Copy the URL of the fic (I'm using one from AO3 for this example).

Click the FanFicFare button on the Calibre toolbar. It should automatically detect that you have a URL from a supported site in your clipboard and paste it into the dialog

If you want to download multiple fanfics in a batch, you can hit enter and paste more URLs into the box, one per line. NOTE: please do not try to download like 30 fanfictions at once; a bunch of people doing that can strain AO3's servers, and your account might have its download capability temporarily throttled to prevent that.

5. Click OK. Calibre may look like it's frozen for a few seconds, but this is normal during the metadata fetching process. Once it figures out which of the fics you pasted actually need to be downloaded, it will unfreeze and begin downloading them

6. Once Calibre has begun downloading your fics, it will display "Jobs: 1" with a spinning icon in the bottom right corner of the Calibre window. If you click that, you'll get a progress bar of what it's doing

7. Once Calibre has finished downloading your fics, it will display a summary of the job in the bottom right corner of the Calibre window. In this summary, "good" updates meant that a fic had to be downloaded, while "bad" updates indicate fics that didn't need to be updated (because you already had them on your computer) or that could NOT be downloaded due to an error (usually a fic that was deleted or hidden in a private collection). You can click "View Log" if you're curious about which fics were downloaded and which were skipped. In this example, 2 fics were missing from my library and were downloaded, while "Where the Sand Meets the Sea" was not downloaded because it was already on my computer and up to date.

8. Exit the FanFicFare log if you clicked into it, then click "Yes" to accept the results and add the downloaded/updated fics to your library. The fics should appear in Calibre almost immediately. Then FanFicFare will kick off a second job by calling the Count Pages plugin to grab a word count for the new/updated fics. Once that job completes, just click "Yes" in the job summary window that appears in the bottom right of Calibre to store the word counts in your library.

And you're done! You just backed up your first fanfictions :)

Downloading a Series

FanFicFare can actually pull all of the URLs for individual fics in a series for you automatically!

Copy the AO3 series URL (not to an individual fic in the series)

In Calibre, click the dropdown arrow to the right of the FanFicFare button on the menu bar, then click "Get Story URLs from Web Page"

3. FanFicFare should automatically detect that you have a supported web page in your clipboard and paste it into the text field. Choose the download option you prefer: downloading each fic in the series as a separate ebook, OR combining every fic in the series into a single ebook, commonly called an anthology. Note: anthology ebooks can get rather large in file size if they have embedded fanart in them.

4. Once you pick an option, FanFicFare will grab the URL of every fic in the series and automatically paste them into the FanFicFare fic download window. From there on out just follow the normal steps for downloading those fics (this will start at step 3 in the "Downloading Fic(s)" section above).

Updating Fanfictions

Just wanted to note that you can update fanfictions in multiple ways. You can either:

Select ebooks in your Calibre library, then click the dropdown arrow next to the FanFicFare toolbar icon and click "Update Existing Fanfiction Books" OR

Take the URLs and just download them like you would a new fic. FanFicFare will automatically replace your existing copy with the updated one. This way you can just paste in the URL from an AO3 subscription email alert instead of having to hunt down the fic in your library first.

For Advanced Users

FanFicFare can actually pull the URLs off of any page of multiple fics - this includes pages of bookmarks. For example, if you want to download fics that you have bookmarked and tagged with "favorite", just filter your bookmarks for that tag and then use the resulting URL in the steps for "Downloading a Series". Note that FanFicFare doesn't handle pagination, so if you have multiple pages of results for that bookmark search, you'll have to paste in each paginated URL separately.

Summary

Well this got WAY longer than I meant it to. I think my background in technical writing is showing - this is probably more detailed than the average tumblr user wants or needs. But whatever, at least it's thorough. If you found this guide useful, please reblog it! The more people who back up fics, the better the chances that those fics will be available if you want them later. And if you end up using Calibre extensively, consider donating to the one-person developer team to keep the project going :)

Best WordPress Security Plugins for 2025

Introduction WordPress is the world’s most popular content management system (CMS), powering over 40% of all websites. While its flexibility and ease of use make it a preferred choice for bloggers, businesses, and developers, its popularity also makes it a prime target for hackers, malware, brute force attacks, and security vulnerabilities. One of the best ways to protect your WordPress site is…

By popular demand (I saw two people asking) I thought I would throw together a quick guide to using the road editor tool in the newest version of SimPE! You'll see that this is a very easy tool to use, and best of all, goof-proof. If you do mess up (you probably will) it's very, very easy to correct.

Very, very, very important to make a backup of your hood before you ever do any tinkering in SimPE! I also recommend practicing on a test hood you don't actively play in to get a feel for it before you do anything to your main hoods.

We're starting with a vanilla Strangetown. I would recommend going in your game and taking a nice overhead screenshot of the hood like this first to look at for reference of where everything is situated the way that you're used to looking at it.

2. Open SimPE, go to Tools> Neighbourhood> Neighbourhood Browser and open the hood you're wanting to work on. If you're not so familiar with SimPE, opening your hood can take some time. Touch nothing until it's loaded!

3. Once it's all loaded, from the Resource Tree list pick Neighbourhood Terrain Geometry (NHTG). Then you'll see one file populate the Resource List - click that. Make sure on the bottom that you have Plugin View tab selected.

4. Now you should see this map of your hood pop up! There are different things you can toggle, I like to check the Show Lots box when I'm editing the roads. Then click the Road Editor button on the right.

5. To be able to see better, I've pulled this Plugin View window up a bit - it may rearrange the Resource List and Resource Tree windows a bit to accommodate. You can also press the Zoom 2x button to see closer, and then you'll have to use the scroll bars to move around the map and the road editor tool.

6. The road editing tools here will be placed down in the same orientation as the map. So the two parallel roads running through Strangetown from this perspective are the vertical straight road pieces (top row, second from left).

When you select a road tool, above it will indicate which tool you have selected.

Also - I recommend having Handle Stop Signs ticked.

7. Once you have the correct type of road selected for the spot you're working on, simply click on the map - it lays it down one tile at a time. If you miss a spot like shown here, just fill it in.

8. If you want to create an intersection, first delete the section of road where the intersection will go.

9. Then choose the type of junction for the intersection you're making, and add that piece in. You'll see a red circle appear (unsure if this is because it's an intersection or because you have handle stop signs selected, but I recommend you do have that selected either way).

10. Once you're done making all your changes, click Close Editor.

11. This is the part where you save your changes! First click Commit in the top right of the editor. Then, File> Save!

12. Load your game to check! Looks pretty good with all those new roads!

13. However, we have indeed made some mistakes! Which were absolutely for illustrative purposes and not truly an accident.

14. Never fear! Simply reload the hood in SimPE - I've deleted the spot where the T-junction should go and added one in, and deleted where the road just ended abruptly and added a proper end piece.

I have not experimented with what happens if you try to build a road through hood deco - if you have, please let us know in the comments how that went!

I also have barely touched the terrain editing tools, so that's outside the scope of this tutorial.

I hope this helped!

Hi! This is my first time requesting/asking anything in general so if I did something wrong please have mercy on me :')

I was wondering if you would write some headcanons for the rottmnt boys (separate) with a reader who is literally always singing. Doing dishes, making food, doing schoolwork, scrolling on their phone, a n y t h i n g. I really like all your tmnt works, I think I've read them all like twice by now 😭 if you don't wanna take this request (or hate my guts whispers the tiny voice in the back of my mind) you don't have to do anything with it, just ignore me lol :) I just wanted to put it out there

I’m so honored to be your first request! I hope you’ll like it 💜

Rottmnt boys with an S/O who likes to sing

RISE!LEONARDO

• At first, Leo assumes you’re doing it for dramatic effect. Obviously. Who wouldn’t sing while flipping pancakes like a Broadway star?

• But then he realizes you do it constantly. Cooking? Singing. Homework? Singing. Lost in your phone? You’re whispering the chorus to some random indie tune.

• Honestly? He’s enchanted.

• Joins in uninvited. Loudly. Wrong lyrics. Wrong song. Doesn’t matter.

• “You’re doing Taylor Swift? Cool, I’ll throw in a little Queen.”

• Eventually starts requesting songs, especially when he wants attention. “Baaabe, can you do that one from Moana again? I like the sassy crab one.”

• If you’re in a bad mood and not singing? He panics. “What happened?! Who hurt the melody of my heart?!”

• Proudly declares he’s your “backup dancer” every time you sing around the lair. He will literally moonwalk while you do the dishes.

• Secretly keeps a list of songs that remind him of you.

RISE!RAPHAEL

• The first few times he hears you singing under your breath, he’s confused. “Are you talkin’ to me or…?”

• Once he catches on, he tries to act unbothered, but is quietly amazed by how happy it makes you.

• He starts recognizing your moods by what genre you’re singing. Lo-fi pop? Chillin’. Broadway soundtrack? You’re focused. Evanescence? You’re angry.

• Will pretend he doesn’t know the lyrics but 100% starts picking them up over time. You catch him humming “your” songs during training and he denies it profusely.

• He thinks it’s especially cute when you sing during mundane stuff, like folding laundry or brushing your teeth.

• “You sing to your toothbrush?”

“And it sings back.”

“…Okay, that’s adorable.”

• One time you caught him recording you while you were baking and singing. He blushed so hard he tripped over his own sai.

• You become his de-stress tool. When he’s had a bad day, he’ll sit nearby and just say, “Sing something, please.”

RISE!DONATELLO

• At first, he found it mildly distracting, especially if you were humming while he was coding. But then…

• One day, you hit a beautiful run while scrolling TikTok and he just froze mid-keystroke. “What… was that?”

• Now he records you. Constantly.

• Has a whole playlist of “Reader Singing Snippets.mp3” on his battle shell.

• “Do it again, but this time in A minor. I have a new synth plugin I’m testing.”

• Will sample your singing and layer it into his music compositions. Doesn’t tell you at first—just lets you hear a beat, and your voice’s harmony hits in the background.

• When you sing something emotional, he goes very quiet and just watches you like he’s seeing art in motion.

• “I am completely and utterly ruined for all other human interactions.”

• Will 100% build you a karaoke room. Just because he can.

RISE!MICHAELANGELO

• LOVES it. Lives for it. Thinks your constant singing is the coolest, most beautiful thing ever.

• Immediately joins in every time, whether he knows the song or not.

• Turns everything into a musical number. Cooking together? Time for “Cooking with Chaos: The Musical!”

• His favorite is when you make up songs on the spot. “Ohhh I dropped the remote but it’s okay ‘cause I’m still cool~!”

• Encourages you to post your singing on social media (if you’re comfy)—thinks the world deserves to hear your voice.

• If you’re ever too tired to sing, he’ll hum your favorite song to you while snuggling on the couch.

• Will pull out a ukulele or bongos and just jam while you sing about brushing your hair.

• Keeps telling his brothers, “This is my muse. The Beyoncé of my heart.”

• If someone else mocks your habit? He’s immediately by your side with the fury of a thousand sunburned artists. “Don’t touch the melody, bro.”
