Benefits – Benefits – Benefits

Having a review by us or having an interview helps the traffic to the developers website. As was bought to our attention recently when we did an interview and reviewed a plugin for a developer who sent us snap shots of their traffic before and after the shows and the traffic stayed so there is some great benefits to being reviewed by WP Plugins A to Z.

$50 from Jez at JezWeb PTY Ltd.

Great work John, thank you for sticking to schedule. There’s been a bit on the WordPress news recently about updates and hacking. One suggestion is that for anyone who has a Cpanel with installation you can connect it to existing WordPress installs, not just ones installed by instillation, and there are a few really neat options including backup to Dropbox, auto update core and if you want it will auto update plugins and themes. ref: https://installatron.com/plugin/whatsnew90  Maybe be careful with such auto updates on complex sites with lots of plugins but otherwise it would certainly be better than a site languishing with no updates. Additionally there are multi site control panels like mainwp, managewp etc which can do a great job too and point out potential issues like abandoned plugins. Have a great week, thanks. This donation is on behalf of Newcastle Skip Bins – https://www.newcastleskipbins.com  who are one of our WordPress clients in Newcastle, Australia.
Thanks to all donors who came in under $50
You can now donate though Patreon at https://patreon.com/wppluginsatoz where you can donate on a monthly basis. As an incentive if you donate $40 a month you will gain access to the exclusive plugin tutorial videos on how to setup and use the plugins we review and use.

John’s Rant: What to rant about?

We have a winner in the previous giveaway from Barn2 media for the WooCommerce Password Protected Categories.
We also have more contests coming for premium licenses from generous plugin developers so stay tuned.
Make sure you checkout the WPSupport store. where you can get direct access to some of the best plugins we have reviewed located all in one place. We do not host the plugins but provide the link to download it direct from WordPress.org or the plugin developer, and they may occasionally have an affiliate link but not too often since that adds a whole new layer of work to what I have to do.
For developers who find value in what we am doing here please donate that value back to the show.

Could WordPress Have Stopped a ‘Feeding Frenzy’ by Hackers?

https://www.cmswire.com/digital-experience/could-wordpress-have-stopped-a-feeding-frenzy-by-hackers/You can urge WordPress users to keep the platform software up-to-date. But like that proverbial horse and his drink of water, you can’t make them do it.

So the news that hackers have been having what one expert described as a “feeding frenzy” on WordPress sites should really come as no surprise. We have all been here before, lamenting vulnerabilities in the world’s most popular content management system. Read original article here…. cmswire.com

Would Have Been 5 Stars    I love the show and always hear something that I can use on my sites. My only criticizm is that John needs to tweak his mike settings or EQ. I listen on my iphone and Marcus always sounds good, but John sounds muffled or flat. Crank up the higher frequencies. If that was fixed I’d easily give the show 5 stars.

love the show, don’t like the begging    The content of this podcast is terrific. The many minutes spent begging listeners for donations and itunes reviews is not. So, for every time they ask for an itunes review, I pledge to write a one star review. Meanwhile, keep up the great work guys! Love those plugin reviews.

Toolset Types

Premium Plugin starts at $69
The Lowdown:
During a recent project I had been working on I had com across an issue setting up a specific display of the archives how the client was looking for. While I was heading down a path that would have solved it but not as clean as I wanted to I was fortunate eno9ugh to be contact by a listener David. Who was offing some time towards the show to do some work on the site since he has some pretty great experience with the theme we use.
Well I realized since I was using the same theme for my client I though David might be able to help with this. After talking about the issue with him he suggested this plugin. I of course hired him to help with this job. After seeing what he has done I took a look at what else this plugin does.
It seems that you can create all types of custom post types and foeld for many different uses such as custom searches, customize Woocommerce sites, custom templates and post types and more. This looks to be a grteat plugin to save some serious time. It has done wonders here.

The Lowdown:
While working on another project this past week I had been running into and issue with displaying a featured content just the way the client wanted. I had originally hoped and planned to use Revolution slider but it just would not create the design we wanted do was forced to seek an alternative way to accomplish the same task
This plugin while having a free version did not have everything in the free I was looking for but the paid version definitely had what I was after. It offers the ability to create some pretty great looking layouts of you content from posts and custom posts. place it where you want it with a short code and your off it seems to work quite well.

The lowdown:
This plugin is from the same developer as above and it also solve another issue I was having on another project and that was coming up with a good looking clean news ticker. It offers a few different layouts and pulls info from it own custom post type for new which was not exactly what i wanted but was closer than most other things I was after all in all pretty good.
