Hey guys, Cam here and I’m back with another community submitted review. Today we’re taking a look at InifiteWP, an unlimited WordPress site management solution. At first glance InfiniteWP looks good. It’s a clean website, a decent intro video and some good, well placed customer testimonials. They make sure you know that the basic package is free and that downloading is simple. So far so good!
Well, the speculation is over – Mr. Bachhuber has joined Human Made Limited as a Senior Engineer joining the likes of such people like Joe Hoyle, Paul de Wouters, Tom Willmot, Owain Cuvelier, Theo Savage, and the often-quoted and opinionated (hey, that’s a good thing folks!) Noel Tock. Human Made, a WordPress-centric development shop, has been around for a bit and has had some large clients in their expanding portfolio. Apparently Daniel had done some work in the past with them so he was familiar with their culture and the way they do business. He shared a bit on an announce […]
Tony Perez over at Sucuri shared yesterday a significant vulnerability that’s landed among some of the top plugins used out there which also happen to be the top caching plugins for WordPress. If you’re a fan and a user of WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache then this update is for you! There’s a RCE (Remote Code Execution) vulnerability in these plugins that allows an attacker to execute commands on the blog directly. First discovered by kisscsaby in the WordPress forums it has been quickly dealt with via the plugin authors but that doesn’t mean that you haven’t updated yet! A few other blogs have also […]
The genius of people never ceases to amaze me! We are pretty obvious fans of Bootstrap here at WP Daily as we use it to power this child theme as well as the theme under the hood and it’s helped us develop faster and with better standards ever since we started using it. There are a lot of other great CSS and front-end frameworks out there but there’s few that simply solves the problems of great design as quickly and as simply – so it can be difficult to jump ship when the time comes to choose one to use. […]
Apparently ZippyKid is going to be a whole lot more zippy than before (yes, I suppose I went there). Now, with a new partnership in place, ZippyKid will be delivering even faster speeds for their clients and customers leveraging ngx_pagespeed designed to automatically apply speed and web performance best practices: We partnered with the PageSpeed team at Google to develop a new service designed to dramatically reduce page load times. Best of all, you’ll see significant performance gains without changing a single line of code or installing a plugin. The fact that existing customers won’t have to lift a finger is a big win for […]
As you may have noticed, things look a little different today as we’ve spent most of our time locking in our account and setting things up with BuySellAds. For this introductory experiment (and you know that we love to experiment) we’ve got a very large top banner (728×90), some sidebar squares, and a content/comment interstitial for the time being. For stage one of Operation “Make this blog pay for itself” we are simply mimicking some of the more common practices that audiences are familiar with on some of the other major technology blogs. To be sure, no innovation here my friends, […]
As you’ve seen, I’m somewhat obsessed with new technologies that may allow a deeper and more comprehensive way to collaborate with others at the blog publishing and posting layer. Even this tool that we covered last week provides a way to collaborate on stories and news. But what about at the actual post layer itself? Some of the new features in 3.6 will have some of these but there’s nothing quite like real-time, is there? The ability for a team of people to knock out critical pieces of work on given timeframes is a must in today’s fast paced world. If WordPress […]
We had the pleasure of having Jen Mylo visit us and speak at the WordCamp Atlanta event a few months ago and her talk is finally up for your viewing pleasure. We’d love to showcase all of the videos from the event (and you can browse them here although please note that new ones are being added every few days as we complete the uploading process) but this one’s great for everyone because she covers some of the core essentials like what the WordPress Foundation is and how it’s different than WordPress.com and other such things that are easy to get […]
What a week. What a week. With a number of tragedies being reported all over the world it’s hard not to get pessimistic about the continuation of the human race. Actually, it’s hard to find motivation at times if you think about it too long. But great work is being done and there is more good out there than what’s being reported. So let’s keep it up folks! Stay positive – this too shall pass!
