Benefits – Benefits – Benefits

Having a review done 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. The traffic stayed, so there are great benefits to being reviewed by WP Plugins A to Z. Submit Your Plugin Here.

Orderable Pro, WoPo Minesweeper, One Page Checkout for WooCommerce ……. and ClassicPress options on Episode 519.

John’s Intro:

The new magik number is 66, July 1 is the new majik Day. Trust the plan.

With great appreciation for the No Agenda Show for their inspiration of ideas and the occasional stolen sound clip.

This is a value for value show and I look forward to everyone providing some value back.

Before I get started, you will want to hang around to the end of the show for our Q & A segment with Amber…. and to those listening on the podcast, you may want to check out the YouTube version which has some great discussions before the show starts…

Ambers’ Rant:

This is #27 of 52 episodes for 2021. Its Episode 519! I hope every was able to survive the heat dome that passed through! I know I felt a bit like I was melting….

Now that it’s cooler, maybe get out and about, go swimming in the lakes and rivers if there are any nearby you, go for a walk somewhere green! Remember though, bring water! Just because it feels a million degrees cooler doesn’t mean it actually is – it just feels cooler comparatively. You still needs loads of water!

Also remember, turn off the media! Have a nap, read a book, enjoy the lazy summer as much as you can! And media/radio/tv will just kill that enjoyment.

Rinse and repeat as often as needed.

We have some news from the world of WordPress for you today as well as some great plugins.

News this week:

PrintNightmare Bug and Microsofts Patch for it – There’s a virus going around called PrintNightmare Bug, and it is using the Print Spool in Microsoft to gain access to your computer, take over and use it remotely. Microsoft has put out a patch, even for Windows 7 to fix this issue. So if anyone else has been finding that their computer is shoving an update down their throat recently, this is the reason for it.

It seems WordPress is making lots of changes, time for me to be contrite and work though it all.

WordPress 5.8 adds support for new Emoji’s – for those of you out there to whom Emoji’s are rather important, this is great news! I have found that there are a lot of people who use emoji’s as a regular part of their speech when typing or writing out just about anything….

WordPress Green Lights In-Person meetups for events! – the only draw back, is that you will have to be vaccinated in order to attend.

Major Revamp coming for GitHub issues – GitHub unveiled new features this week – they are doing a complete revamp of the spreadsheets, custom fields, task lists, issue forms – pretty well anything and everything. A good thing to know if you are a GitHub user.

Email fatigue opens door for cybercriminals – I found this an interesting read, and realized that email fatigue is something that a lot of us, especially these days, are experiencing. Something to be aware of and to think about.

This is the extra news stuff that someone out there might find interesting. To read more, you can head on over to the show notes or newsletter and check it out! If you find something to add for next show, send me a link at amber@wppro.ca

The extras – for even more extra news, check out our Facebook, or Twitter page!

9 ways to customize WP footer by hand & via plugin – this could be useful for people.

Windows 11 focusing on Security – The new release of the Windows 11 is focusing primarily on security. This is a great article just going over the things that they are doing to do this focus on security.

Researchers find smart devices to be ‘ripe for hacking’ – interesting article on why smart devices are not nearly as secure as once thought.

Automattic releases Sketch Block for Drawing – this seems pretty cool! I like the idea of having a sketch capability within the system. Makes signing easier for sure, but depending on how good this is, artists could get A LOT of use out this!

Local Pro free for all users – This could be great news! If Local Pro is something that you have been wanting to get into, you can now get all the pro features for free!

Vivaldi now offers it’s own internet suite: back to the 90’s! – this is a neat idea, launched recently and is already getting a lot of downloads! This is based on the 90’s style, essentially based on the all-in-one kitchen sink release of 1997.

Off we go into the meat and potatoes, Into the depths of plugin depravity…..

ClassicPress Options

ClassicPress is growing really well, but I just don’t have the time to add reviews on ClassicPress myself. I am always open to reviews sent in by listeners; though unless there is a review sent into me on ClassicPress, I am not going to do more than mention that ClassicPress is a thing, and here are some resources. I hope some listeners out there find this information useful!

One thing I am looking forward to in the ClassicPress World is the expansion of the number of ClassicPress specific plugins and their own repository. There are a few plugins specifically for ClassicPress and all plugins for WordPress 4.9.9 work well on it. I do believe it has a future, I just have not time to help them in getting it out there.

ClassicPress Resources:

For some up to date news on ClassicPress check out the ClassicPress Blog.

“Must Have” Plugins List

John’s Plugin

Orderable Pro

The Lowdown:

This is a very interesting plugin that can help you turn your WooCommerce site into a delivery site so you can avoid those ocer prices programs. You can set up to allow deliveries and/or pickups, and set the hours that you allow these things.

There are lots of customizations you can make to allow for a good looking display and order flow and more.
