Interview with Martin Stewart from CorgDesign.

Their website features three of his plugins:

Minimum Featured Image Size. Sometimes other site users upload tiny images, which causes them to display incorrectly or at low quality. This plugin forces them to upload properly sized images. It also works for custom posts, including WooCommerce galleries. Your images need to meet both the width and height requirement. If your image fails to meet these, the publish button is disabled and a warning message will be displayed.
WooHoo Lite, WooCommerce. Martin created this so clients could customize the WooCommerce site on their own, bypassing the need for a developer to help customize the design. Many things can be changed, e.g. categories, tags, breadcrumbs, pictures, etc. Pro lets you customize emails and admin notifications, also shipping price dependent on quantity. It puts all customization in one spot instead of all over back end coding. Bypasses needing a developer for customizing.
Visual Sitemap. This plugin lets you choose what pages are shown on the sitemap, each page’s icon and colours. The style sheets can also be edited. The icons used are from Font Awesome.

Interview 24 with Omar Faruque Simanta from RexTheme on Best WooCommerce Product Feed Manager.

This plugin is for e-commerce store owners on multiple platforms looking to make more revenue by expanding. It generates a product feed to be used with all of your e-commerce stores so you only have to update information once, which is a huge time saver. You can install the plugin to the site where your items are and use the product feed to add it to any other marketplace you use (Google Shopping, eBay, etc). If you were to change everything manually, without the product feed, you would have to add it in each place.

Another plugin on their site is Social Booster, which re-shares your WordPress posts to other social medias.

Today’s interview is with James Cantoni from WP Compress and VC Splitter about his plugin WP Compress.

WP Compress offers multiple compression modes, secure cloud backups, image resizing and more to slash your image file sizes and speed up your website. Compress and optimize images to shrink file size, improve load times and boost page speed scores in just one click.

Since the beta in October, several things have improved based on user feedback. They have improved speeds, added automation, and made some general improvements. There are three optimization levels: Lossless (which keeps as much quality as possible), Ultra (which makes files as small as possible) and Intelligent (which tries to find a middle ground)

What makes it different:

Ease of use
- To install: sign up, download, and enter api.
- Typically no more than 3-5 settings.
- Automation settings to make life easier
Affordability
- Other compression sites charge much more. WP Compress starts at $5/mo and goes up to $15/mo.
Automation
- Compresses images at a set time (or times) daily, instead of compressing on upload which can interrupt you.

Features

Resizing of larger images (default setting resizes any large images to 2048 pixels or less, can be set lower)
prevents over-compression of images, has unlimited (no time limit)restore function and backups
Nearly everything is one-click (bulk, individual, restore, bulk restore, settings)
Backups are saved securely in cloud in case you want to restore the images

#WPPlugins A to Z interview with Al Harlow from WP Nearby Places #plugin https://ctt.ec/8x6fZ+ #WordPress Click To Tweet

Using WP Nearby places is reminiscent of the days gone by where you would get the little attractions maps from a hotel, restaurant or other point of interest attraction. These little maps would show your what else was nearby such as other restaurants, bars, shopping, other businesses and attractions.

WP Nearby Places lets you easily create Google maps for your WordPress website with your specified location at its center. Website visitors will have the ability to quickly search what’s around your specified location like no other mapping plugin that uses the power of Google maps. WP Nearby Places also uniquely breaks down neighborhood locations by categories, such as Restaurants, Parks, Police and, depending which version you purchase, provides the location’s name, address, URL, website address, phone number and distance (in miles or kilometers) from the central location. There are 3 versions available: Basic (which is free and available through WordPress.org), PRO and Premium (which is offered here). For details about all our licensed versions available, including our exciting Add-ons, go to https://members.wpnearbyplaces.com/shop.

With a big thank you to Albert for offering up a couple of premium licenses for upcoming contests see our contest page for full details.

Today we talked with Alec Kinnear from Foliovision talking about their main product the FV Player pro plugin. This plugin allows you to display videos from virtually any source in your website. You get the ability to have videos from multiple sources. This give you the freedom to add videos from places such as Vimeo, Youtube, Amazon service and more all on the same site.

You can also serve secured videos and prevent piracy of your videos that need such protection. Some of the other advantages you get are the ability to add pre-roll and after roll ads, you can add ads in the middle. One of the interesting features I learned about is the transcript feature that will allow you to add a transcript to the video which allows your users to read though the transcript and then click directly to that point in the video.

We also covered up some of the other plugins created by Foliovision you can check out all their plugins and services here https://foliovision.com/store and be sure to scroll to the bottom to see their list of free plugins.

Look for more plugins from Foliovision being reviewed on WP Plugins A to Z podcast.

This show I interviewed James Cantoni the founder of VCSplitter.com . They have built an A/B split testing plugin that integrates into the visual composer plugin for WordPress. This add-on help make the process of doing split testing affordable and easy for the person who needs to keep their budget intact.

In Episode 310 I reviewed their Pro version of the plugin review below:

VC Splitter Pro

Freemium Plugin from $10 a month

sent in by James Cantoni

https://VCSplitter.com

https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/vc+splitter/

The Lowdown:

This is a plugin that will allow you to do A/B split testing on your content easily if you are using visual composer. At 3 levels of purchase you can go for the free which allows you to create the testing items between buttons, heading and images, buy it on code canyon and get the added features of text testing, tracking and a stats dashboard, or from their site where you get multi column and row testing, mobile testing.

if you are in need of A/B testing and using visual composer this looks to be a plugin for you

Rating 4 Dragons.
