You’ve been dreaming for years of opening your own coffee shop, and you’re finally on your way. The loan has been secured, build-out has begun, and suppliers are sending enough coffee samples to supercharge your creativity. Heck, you’ve even purchased hosting, set up your WordPress website, and have figured out all the basics. Now the […]
TL;DR (If you want the punchline of this article) – If you use WooCommerce or EDD, sign up for Jilt to fix cart abandonment — implement it in 10 minutes. I’ve been playing with WooCommerce on GoDaddy Managed WordPress lately and recently started thinking a lot about cart abandonment. Mine isn’t high by quantity of abandons, but […]
I’ve recently been working on a project that requires the import of data from a CSV sheet to ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) values for a CPT (custom post type).

When I first started creating WordPress websites… …I was just happy to be able to offer my clients an admin area, and visitors a consistent navigation and theme. Ten years ago, security, disaster recovery, redundancy, performance, and scaleability were things I thought about (that hasn’t changed), but modifications to address those issues weren’t easy to […]
It was a surreal afternoon at the Raleigh-Durham airport today. I arrived for my flight a little earlier than normal to get a bite to eat. My Uber driver was diverted by police to the lower arrivals area. When I stepped out of the car, I could hear the methodical protests of crowds on the […]
