Here’s the metadata URLs for both AWS and GCP.

Change WordPress URL
There are multiple ways to change URL in WordPress.
Here’s one via wp-config.php.
define( 'WP_HOME', 'http://example.com' ); define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://example.com' ); |
If you have a redirect in Apache, comment it out.
#Redirect permanent / https://yourdomain.com/ |
This is by far the easiest way to change URL in WordPress.
GCP SDK Auth Login
Here’s how to login to GCP from Google SDK.
gcloud auth login |
- Click on the URL to authenticate on your browser.
- Login with your Google Account. Use MFA if prompted.
- Click Allow when prompted.
You will then be taken to a page that you have successfully logged in.
URL Encode
If you need to special characters encoded in a URL, these sites really come handy. Why is there a need to encode? URLs accepts only alphanumeric characters and a limited number of special characters. For example, : and / are common characters you’ll find in URLs. Meanwhile spaces are not allowed, but instead are represented as %20 when encoded. There are other special characters that will need to be encoded.
Here are a couple of sites to help you encode:

Modify Header on Genesis Themes
The Genesis theme is a WordPress theme from StudioPress. I recently worked on a project where there was a need to redirect the URL title to another URL. Essentially, there are two separate WordPress installs on the server, one install had WordPress on the root directory, the other on a sub-directory. The URL title of the WordPress on a sub-directory needed to point to the root directory. So, here’s the fix that you need to add in the functions.php for Genesis themes.
//* Modify the header URL - HTML5 Version
add_filter( 'genesis_seo_title', 'child_header_title', 10, 3 );
function child_header_title( $title, $inside, $wrap ) {
$inside = sprintf( '<a href="http://example.com/" title="%s">%s</a>', esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name' ) ), get_bloginfo( 'name' ) );
return sprintf( '<%1$s class="site-title">%2$s</%1$s>', $wrap, $inside );
} |
Just add this piece of code to the functions.php file of your Genesis child theme.
