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.

John’s Rant: What to rant about?

The past 2 weeks have been very busy for me as shown by me just getting the show up and not much else on the website. It does look to be easing off again so I can devote the day to the show again. So what happened well it seems the hackers had a field day out there and a couple of clients I had not heard from in a while gave me a call, one had 5 sites fully compromised and was off-line for a couple days before calling me and even then it took me 3 days of solid work to get the clients sites back on-line  Plus another couple projects getting closer for full launch which got pushed back a little due to the emergencies.
The lesson here for you is that you need to keep on top of your updates and if you have a single hosting account with multiple sites that are critical it is time to get them moved to separate accounts so that if one site is compromised the others are going to still be safe. Better yet you might start paying someone such as myself to keep an eye on your website by backing it up, keeping it up to date and monitoring it for issues.
Congratulations to  Larry from https://www.parliamentariancorner.com/ podcast and website the winner in the giveaway from Barn2 media for the WooCommerce Password Protected Categories. We will be having more contests coming soon. And remember if your a developer of premium plugins and would like to donate a license for a give away just drop me a line and we will make it happen.
.
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 I am doing here please donate that value back to the show.

The Lowdown:
You have heard recently on this show a short discussion about Twich and that is is becoming used more and more especially by Gamers for live streaming their game playing. Since I am in process of helping one of those gamers build a website to showcase his videos and he uses Twitch to share live streams this is a perfect fit. It adds a notice to his website to let his fans know when he is live on twitch. simple to use just install connect to account and customize it up a bit.

If you are a BuddyPress user, this plugin is an automated function that sends birthday emails to members on their birthday. It’s a great way to express your birthday wishes. It’s also a good opportunity to present a coupon or discount to your member, should you have any ecommerce products.

This plugin adds an extended feature to WooCommerce that adds a document preview feature in single product page. This is very handy for ebooks and digital products that lend themselves to previews. Amazon.com does something very similar when selling books.
