A customer asked me to add a SRV record to their domain but documentation on how to add this record is very slim.

To add the SRV record:

1. Open the zone file > Records > Select SRV:

2. Enter the record details similar to the following (insert your own records):

3. You will notice there is no option to set priority. To do this we need to modify the DNS record in the database. Navigate to your phpmyadmin (e.g. http://10.10.10.10/phpmyadmin). Lookup the domain in the dns_rr table and edit the record, changing aux to the priority value (100 in this case):

4. That’s everything in place now perform a lookup with MX Toolbox:

1. Remove Yoast Analytics plugin if installed

*caused a number of tracking and confirmation issues

2. Make sure Google Analytics Universal tracking code is setup

3. Edit the contact 7 form > Scroll to “Additional Settings” > Insert the following:

on_sent_ok: "ga('send', 'event', 'Contact Form', 'sent');"

4. Login to the analytics admin panel and add a new goal

Goal Setup – Custom

Goal Description – Name and Type: Event

Goal Details:

Save

5. Fill in the form > Take a look at Real Time reporting – Conversions to see the Contact Form goal in action

I can take no credit for this one other than confirming it works:

After shifting a live website to a development site to work on I was getting redirected to domain.com/wp-admin/install.php.

The issue arise if you have changed the default database prefix.

To fix simply open your wp-config.php file and update the following line to your table prefix:

$table_prefix  = 'wp_';

apt-get install ntp

Edit ntp config file:

vim /etc/ntp.conf

Update the 4 “server pool.ntp.org” lines to your locale. e.g. UK:

server 0.uk.pool.ntp.org
server 1.uk.pool.ntp.org
server 2.uk.pool.ntp.org
server 3.uk.pool.ntp.org

All zones can be found here http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/@

Check the date/time is indeed correct:
