HTML to PDF with PHP and wkhtmltopdf
<?php
/******
I was using tcpdf then mpdf for years, and then I discovered wkhtmltopdf and it changed my life.
If you can exec() then you will enjoy super fast operation, no more memory/process time outs,
and overall easier and better PDFs... Check out http://wkhtmltopdf.org/ ... binaries for most platforms.

Wordpress Security for NginX
# wp-secure.conf
#
#
# This file includes common security considerations for wordpress using nginx.
#
# The goal is to block actions which are usually dangerous to wordpress.
# Additionally, we block direct access to PHP files and folders which should not
# be accessed directly from a browser.
#
# Also have included exceptions for plugins that are known to require this access.
