I can’t help but feel that the world we are living in today is completely different than the world we were living in prior to yesterday afternoon.

Always fun when a client gets "advice" from another service provider that is royally stupid. 🤪

The biggest strength of WordPress is its flexibility You can create a simple landing page, blog, or a full-blown SaaS And you can scale it up as your business grows

If you have client who use BuddyBoss, I really recommend you test their 2.14 Pro plugin upgrade in staging first. They pushed out that update willy nilly and broke stuff. And, because of some license system change, they're not even providing access to past versions. Hard to

If you record private videos for people, what service do you use? I used Loom for awhile. Now I use Cleanshot Cloud. But, disappointed to find out that apparently you cannot embed Cleanshot videos anywhere. I was looking to set up private archives for clients for videos I've

WP EDGE #554: The Issue On Hosting In this issue, I talk about the hosting I've been using... and some changes on the horizon. - Slow Admin Panels – Is Rocket Up To The Task? - Concierge Client Update - WordPress News & Updates (lots of updates out of WPManageNinja ) - Hosting
