Do you know what is a webmaster's biggest nightmare? You're right. It's the hackers. Every now and then, website administrators get to deal with hackers. It's not possible to make your website 100% hack-proof. A small security hole in your entire website's coding can give an experienced hacker access to the backend of your website. And if they manage to crack it down, you may have a hard time figuring out what to do if you didn't have a backup. However, if you do have a backup, you can restore the site.

But what's the guarantee that it won't be hacked again? How do you exactly determine which security hole gave the hacker access to your server in the first place? There is one tool that can do the job of finding out what's the security hole and what other weak points there are on your website. The tool is called My Joomla. If you remember, we faced the same Joomla hacked experience a while ago at ThemeXpert. This is the tool that made our website's security stronger and protected. But before we talk about how to audit your website with this tool, let's first look at some of the basic features the site comes with.

WordPress shortcodes introduced in its early version 2.5 before about six years ago and since that time, shortcodes are used to increase the functionality of WordPress.

Establishing a sound business communication with your existing customers and targeted clients is considered key to business strategy. The more you get a chance to communicate with the audience, the more you feel what they expect from you. Now the question is. What is the effective way to reach to customers easily? The answer is managing an interactive Joomla support forum on your website.You might be thinking, why to manage a forum in a separate website instead of using social channels. Though social media are easier ways to reach existing and target customer, but the problem is the user created issues are unorganized. Even they are difficult to find out quickly. So if you want to foster real discussion and want to manage them easily on your site, your best bet is to add a Joomla forum.Before bouncing from this post cowering in fear, allow me to ease your mind. You don’t need to know a single line of code to add a Joomla forum plugin to your Joomla site. You might think, I’m kidding. No, I am not. The only thing you have to install the extension and configure them to your specification.From my experience I found two awesome Joomla forum plugin in Joomla JED (Joomla Extension Directory), the first in Kunena (Free) and another is EasyDiscuss (Premium).##Forum with Kunena###Step 01To install a blog in your Joomla website, you have to download Kunena first from Kunena official website and then install the extension via Extension > Extension Manager > Install > Upload Package File link from the Joomla Back-end.###Step 02Now, We have successfully installed the Kunena Joomla forum extension, but forum could not access from the website front-end. To access the Joomla forum from front-end, we have to add a new item in the main menu. To add a new item in main menu, click on Add New Menu Item via Menus > Main Menu link.Now add Menu Title (I titled Discussion), and click on select button from Menu Item Type. Unfold Kunena Forum tab. It will open up some options, select Home Page from the options and click Save and Close.###Step 03Now head to the front-end of your website, I am using Appy (Responsive Joomla Template for App & Business) template. You can see an item titled Discussion added to the main menu. Under the Discussion menu item you can see, a full-fledged forum system has been added.I installed Kunena with its default feature and haven’t changed any single settings. If you want to know further settings of Kunena, get into Kunena Dashboard via Components > Kunena-Forum. From the Dashboard, you can manage your user, rank, file, template plugins and many more.##Forum with EasyDiscuss###Step 01EasyDiscuss is a great premium Joomla forum extension for Joomla websites developed by Stackideas.

The process is the same as we did Kunena Installation. Click on Add New Menu Item via Menus > Main Menu link.We titled menu item Discussion for Kunena, in this turn, we'll title Forum for Easydiscuss. And click on the Select button from Menu Item Type. Unfold EasyDiscuss tab, It will again open up some options, select Frontpage Layout from the option and click Save and Close.###Step 03Now back to the front-end, you can see a new menu item has been added titled Forum in the main menubar.
