Another week, another #WordPressWednesday! With WordPress 3.6 around the corner, the community can’t wait. Some of this week’s #WordPressWednesday news will involve some of the updates from businesses selling WordPress products or services. All of it GPL, of course! 😉
By the way, feel free to list some active WordPress resources that you think I should check out.
#WordPressWednesday 2013 Volume 4
WordPress Themes
Brian Gardener says StudioPress is soon to release version 2.0 of the Genesis framework as soon as WordPress version 3.6, and basically, anyone upgrading to Genesis version 2.0 shouldn’t have any worries.
Samuel Woods, aka Otto, shares an interesting and unique way to do presentations with a theme!
WordPress Tutorials
LadyWP shares a code snippet for Genesis theme users to be able to add a signature to posts in WordPress.
WordPress Plugins
WPBeginner shares an alternate method of backing up your WordPress site with BackWPUp. This article is in-depth and shows you how to use this plugin.
Jeff Chandler at WordPress Tavern writes a review for the Floating Social bar plugin that is built by WPBeginner. This plugin hasn’t been out that long, but every review from around the community is definitely helpful.
Joe Fylan writes at WPKube on some of the cool extensions available for the WooCommerce store plugin.
WordPress Community News
Jeff Starr introduced on July 19, 2013, The Tao of WordPress over at Digging into WordPress. The Tao of WordPress is a 300 page guide with over 8 years of WordPress experience.
At WPExplorer, Peter Shilling shared his opinion on developers taking an extra step other than coding and make it easier for the client by also setting up their WordPress hosting since there are managed services. His advice seems sound. As a developer, I often have to either advise a client on where to host. While I don’t share his preferences on who to choose as a host, I do share the general idea that you could go on step further to keep that client coming back.
Brian Jackson writes at WP Mayor on his WordPress site migration from VPS hosting to WPEngine. His experience had many more pros than cons. In fact, he only had one negative and it wasn’t a biggie.
Brian Krogsgard writes at Post Status about WordPress Multi-site versus Mini-site. He explains the differences, and what kind of sites are more suited for multi-site. In fact, my two cents, there are a lot of people who either have faced this dilemma or are already trying multi-site and might need to read this article to make sure if it really is necessary.
Matt Mullenweg shares news on the Emmy nomination WordPress-Powered App The Walking Dead StorySync. Sweet huh? 🙂
