Article: How to Jump Ship from GoDaddy

Like most web developers I dislike (hate) Godaddy for a variety of technical reasons not relate to their misogynistic advertising and unethical upsell process.  To keep it simple, let’s just say they suck. As a Matter of policy we will not build new sites hosted by them and prefer not to maintain existing ones.  Almost [...]

WordPress 3.1 is OK with WishList Member

Yesterday I wrote a post cautioning WishList Member users from hastily upgrading to WordPress 3.1. Since then I heard from Wray at WishList Member who said they have seen no problems with their plugin running on the new platform. I don’t mean to sound like a tree hugger, but experience (often quite painful) has taught [...]

We Suggest Not Upgrading to WordPress 3.1 For Now

By now I probably sound like a broken record, but for now I suggest that WishList Member users not upgrade to WordPress 3.1 right now. I have not heard of any specific issues, but WishList is a mission critical application in your business and it is best to wait until the WishList team has had [...]

If you’ve been in your WordPress dashboard lately you haven’t missed the notice to upgrade to the latest version 3.0.5. Like most minor upgrades, this one is for security purposes.

What’s that scary warning message I see when I create a new post or page?

Last week WordPress released a security update 3.0.2 and just last night I see they released 3.0.3. Both of these are security updates and we highly recommend that you you do it. We have not had an instance where these updates have affected WishList Member functionality. It’s easy to do this yourself. But before you [...]

Free WordPress Themes – Be Cautious

There are literally thousands of excellent free WordPress Themes, but be very cautions about where you get yours. In the past week two new clients have asked us to help them with sites that were built with free themes, both of which contained encoded links that pointed to some pretty nasty sites. In both cases [...]

WishList_Site_Deactivation

This week WishList Products released a new version of WishList Member, 2.40.xx.  Since then several people have contacted us to ask if they should upgrade.  The answer is Yes and No.  How’s that for being specific. Let me explain. If you have already upgraded to WordPress3.0.x and are using one of the 2.30 version then [...]

New WishList Member updates

Upgrade_Notice

Last week WishList Member announced the release of their new version 2.3 which included many new features and bug fixes. Although they thoroughly tested this new version before release, like all software developers, they can only test so much in a lab or friendly user environment. Because they have a large user base they were [...]
