Every other week, I\'ll get an email from people asking me to review their plugin. I like doing that, and sometimes I\'ll even mention a plugin that gets emailed to me in a post or on the <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wp-community.org/\">WordPress Podcast</a>. Sometimes, the plugin isn\'t any good, and sometimes it\'s outright spam.</p><p>BlogPress SEO falls in the latter category. My spam senses started tingling when I read the second sentence of the email they sent me:</p><blockquote><p>We have developed a superb wordpress plugin which can actually get 100\'s of backlinks like crazy, all on autopilot.</p></blockquote><p>Right. Backlinks, on autopilot. Such a thing does <em>not</em> exist. Let\'s see how this one works, taken from their own explanation:</p><blockquote><p>As soon as you install the plugin, the plugin will find all relevant blogs in the network which are similar to your niche. So if you write about dogs then the plugin will find all blogs which talk about dogs. Once the plugin find the relevant blogs, it will mutually exchange links between the blogs. So if you have 300 posts in your blog then it will find 300 similar posts in the network, and in turn mutually links with those posts. So you will get around 300 backlinks right away. The more you write the more backlinks will be found by the plugin for your posts. This is a ongoing process and I can assure you that you will see gradual increase in traffic over time.</p></blockquote><p>So... It\'ll automatically add links from your posts to other people\'s blogs, and links form other people\'s posts on the same topic to your posts. There\'s a word for that, it\'s called a <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66356\">link scheme</a>. And let me tell you: Google doesn\'t like those. I took the liberty of emailing <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/\">Matt Cutts</a>, the  head of Google\'s Webspam Team. He said that he \"<em>considers it a link scheme of the sort that Google doesn\'t want to count</em>\".</p><p>You know what the funny thing is? The bad stuff doesn\'t end here. In the email they sent me, they also alluded to a paid version of their plugin, to be released soon:</p><blockquote><p>The paid version of the plugin will not exchange links, but just allow other blogs to place links and will not place any outgoing links on users blog.</p></blockquote><p>You know what we call that? We call that <em>buying links</em>. Now whether or not you\'re morally opposed to that doesn\'t matter, Google is. Some of you might remember that, back in the day, Text Link Ads launched a service called InLinks, which did something similar to this. Matt responded to that then, <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://techcrunch.com/2008/11/19/insidious-new-seo-ad-product-will-be-hard-for-google-to-detect/\">on TechCrunch</a>. He\'s very clear on the topic. And that was <em>before </em>there were FTC guidelines saying that you should disclose stuff like that. These guidelines are there now.</p><p>So let\'s say you don\'t care about rules and burning a website or two and you do stuff like this, you than have two rules to go by: you don\'t talk about it and you make sure you don\'t get caught. Which means you also don\'t go around asking for people like me to review it, like the author of BlogPress SEO did with me.</p><p>Luckily, it\'s quite easy to detect whether a blog runs this plugin, so Google will probably eliminate those quite easily. The risk you run? Well, I\'ve seen sites get banned for participating in programs like these in the past. Like, banned from Google entirely, getting no traffic from Google anymore, nothing, zero, nada, zilch. Is it worth that? Thought not.</p><p>And wait, there\'s more. If you download the plugin and dig around in the code a bit, you\'ll notice this code:</p><div\n class=\"wp_syntax\"><div\n class=\"code\"><pre class=\"php\" style=\"font-family:monospace;\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-weight:bold;\">function</span> email_send_fun<span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#40;</span><span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#41;</span>\n<span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#123;</span>\n    <span style=\"color:#000088;\">$headers</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">=</span><span style=\"color:#0000ff;\">\"From:\"</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">.</span>get_option<span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#40;</span><span style=\"color:#0000ff;\">\'admin_email\'</span><span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#41;</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">.</span><span style=\"color:#0000ff;\">\"n\"</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">;</span>\n    <span style=\"color:#000088;\">$headers</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">.=</span><span style=\"color:#0000ff;\">\"Reply-to:\"</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">.</span>get_option<span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#40;</span><span style=\"color:#0000ff;\">\'admin_email\'</span><span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#41;</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">.</span><span style=\"color:#0000ff;\">\"n\"</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">;</span>\n    <span style=\"color:#000088;\">$sub</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">=</span><span style=\"color:#0000ff;\">\"BlogPressSeo new installation.\"</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">;</span>\n    <span style=\"color:#000088;\">$mes</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">=</span>get_option<span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#40;</span><span style=\"color:#0000ff;\">\'siteurl\'</span><span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#41;</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">;</span>\n    <span style=\"color:#000088;\">$to</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">=</span><span style=\"color:#0000ff;\">\"info@blogpressseo.com\"</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">;</span>\n    <span style=\"color:#990000;\">mail</span><span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#40;</span><span style=\"color:#000088;\">$to</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">,</span><span style=\"color:#000088;\">$sub</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">,</span><span style=\"color:#000088;\">$mes</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">,</span><span style=\"color:#000088;\">$headers</span><span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#41;</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">;</span>\n    <span style=\"color:#b1b100;\">if</span><span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#40;</span><span style=\"color:#000088;\">$hwe_blogidd</span><span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#41;</span>\n    <span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#123;</span>\n        wplink_activate<span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#40;</span><span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#41;</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">;</span>\n    <span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#125;</span>\n<span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#125;</span>\nregister_activation_hook<span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#40;</span><span style=\"color:#000000;font-weight:bold;\">__FILE__</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">,</span><span style=\"color:#0000ff;\">\"email_send_fun\"</span><span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#41;</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">;</span></pre></div></div><p>What that does?

Next to that, the plugin is kind of enough to add a link back to itself on your blog\'s homepage, in a hidden div of course, because that\'s how smart people roll, right? Luckily, that makes it even easier for Google to find all the sites running the plugin and ban them all in one big sweep.</p><p>So, besides the fact that they get you involved in a link scheme, for which penalties can be quite severe; even getting your site banned in some cases, they also add hidden links to your site <strong>and</strong> send off your personal info without your authorization. Nice, isn\'t it? So my advice to you is simple, and you\'ll have understood it by now:</p><h2><strong>Do NOT use BlogPress SEO.

So let me explain to you how bounce rate is influenced by (properly set up) event tracking, and how to do that setup.</p><h2>How event tracking influences bounce rate</h2><p>My buddy <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://kaushik.net/avinash/\">Avinash</a> tweeted a link to <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.bruceclay.com/blog/2010/10/four-questions-avinash-kaushik/comment-page-1/#comment-34236\">a comment</a> he left on a post that\'s actually <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.bruceclay.com/blog/2010/10/four-questions-avinash-kaushik/\">an interview with him on the Bruce Clay blog</a>. In the comment he talks about for whom bounce rate is a good metric. Michael Gray, an \"old time\" SEO and affiliate, who apparently hasn\'t learned much about analytics in all that time ( just kidding Michael ;) ), <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://twitter.com/graywolf/status/27477462274\">tweeted</a>:</p><blockquote><p>\"As an affiliate or adsense publisher I want u to come and leave as quickly as possible how is that not a bounce.\"</p></blockquote><p>Let me state this very clearly: <strong>it is not a bounce</strong>. A bounce is a visit to your website that doesn\'t result in a second pageview or a desired action. If you\'re an affiliate, the outbound click might very well be your desired action. To be able to properly optimize your campaigns, you <em>should</em> track these outbound clicks. The \"proper\" way to do that is to either track them as pageviews, with the benefit of being able to tag them as goals but with the disadvantage of inflating pageviews, or as an event.</p><p>Or, as the <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/eventTrackerGuide.html#implementationConsiderations\">Google Analytics documentation</a> describes it:</p><blockquote><p>\"[...] a \"bounce\" is described as a single-page visit to your site. In Analytics, a bounce is calculated specifically as a session that triggers only a single GIF request, such as when a user comes to a single page on your website and then exits without causing any other request to the Analytics server for that session.\"</p></blockquote><p>So, if you track your outbound affiliate clicks as events they wouldn\'t counted as a bounce. This way, these outbound clicks would be counted as a separate action, making the visit into a \"non bounce\" or, which is maybe a better name, an \"engaged visit\". This is independent of whether you use Google Analytics or another package, you could for instance use <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n class=\"clicky_log_outbound\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/out/clicky/\">Clicky</a>, a very good alternative for those of you with tin foil hats.</p><h2>How to implement event tracking for affiliate links</h2><p>In the examples below I\'ll assume you\'ve properly <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/affiliate-links-and-seo/\">hidden your affiliate links</a> with a redirect:</p><h3>Google Analytics</h3><p>For those of you who use Google Analytics and are not smart enough to use WordPress and my <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress/google-analytics/\">Google Analytics plugin</a>, you should be tagging your outbound affiliate links in a way similar to this:</p><div\n class=\"wp_syntax\"><div\n class=\"code\"><pre class=\"xml\" style=\"font-family:monospace;\"><span style=\"color:#009900;\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-weight:bold;\"><a</span> <span style=\"color:#000066;\">href</span>=<span style=\"color:#ff0000;\">\"http://yoast.com/out/vps/\"</span></span>\n<span style=\"color:#009900;\">  <span style=\"color:#000066;\">onclick</span>=<span style=\"color:#ff0000;\">\"javascript:_gaq.push([\'_trackEvent\',\'aff\',\'/out/vps/\']);\"</span><span style=\"color:#000000;font-weight:bold;\">></span></span>\n  VPS.net\n<span style=\"color:#009900;\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-weight:bold;\"></a<span style=\"color:#000000;font-weight:bold;\">></span></span></span></pre></div></div><p>This example uses the <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/asyncUsageGuide.html\">asynchronous tracking</a> method, if you want reliable tracking of outbound clicks like this, you should be using that, as it\'s a lot more reliable than the old synchronous method.</p><h3>Clicky</h3><p>In Clicky outbound link tracking of links like this is <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://getclicky.com/help/customization#csstags\">ridiculously simple</a>, you don\'t even have to know javascript:</p><div\n class=\"wp_syntax\"><div\n class=\"code\"><pre class=\"xml\" style=\"font-family:monospace;\"><span style=\"color:#009900;\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-weight:bold;\"><a</span> <span style=\"color:#000066;\">class</span>=<span style=\"color:#ff0000;\">\"clicky_log_outbound\"</span> <span style=\"color:#000066;\">href</span>=<span style=\"color:#ff0000;\">\"/out/vps/\"</span><span style=\"color:#000000;font-weight:bold;\">></span></span>\n  VPS.net\n<span style=\"color:#009900;\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-weight:bold;\"></a<span style=\"color:#000000;font-weight:bold;\">></span></span></span></pre></div></div><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>In conclusion: please don\'t think you have a high bounce rate <em>because</em> you have an affiliate site. You have to tag your links properly, if you want to do serious analysis. The minute you do, you should be seeing these clicks appear in your analytics and your bounce rate go down, and you no longer have to claim visits that aren\'t bounces as bounces.</p><p><a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/event-tracking-bounce-rate/\">Event tracking, bounce rate and affiliate marketing</a> is a post from <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/about-me/\">Joost de Valk</a>\'s <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com\">Yoast - Tweaking Websites</a>.A good WordPress blog needs good hosting, you don\'t want your blog to be slow, or, even worse, down, do you?

Nonetheless, this is a very interesting show to listen to!</p><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/joostdevalk/~4/zMAFwlboh4w\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:42:\"http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0\";a:2:{s:8:\"origLink\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:59:\"http://wp-community.org/2010/10/13/brian-clark-copyblogger/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:17:\"origEnclosureLink\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:133:\"http://media.blubrry.com/wordpresspodcast/media.rawvoice.com/seorockstars/www2.webmasterradio.fm/mp3/wordpresspodcast/10/WP101210.mp3\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:7;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:67:\"\n         \n         \n         \n         \n         \n         \n      \";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:3:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:39:\"Yoast: WordPress SEO now in public beta\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:58:\"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/joostdevalk/~3/TtfY-r_Z7ew/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:907:\"<p>Cross posted from my newsletter because people asked me too: I&#39;ll be honest.

I had not expected so many of my newsletter readers to start testing, but I\'m deeply thankful that they (you) did. All your testing and your reports towards me allowed me to squash many many bugs, documentation inconsistencies and more over the last three days, resulting in one of the biggest changelogs I\'ve ever written for a single release.<br\n /> I\'ve taken the time tonight to give the plugin a true home: it now has a page on yoast.com: <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/\">WordPress SEO plugin</a>, with a feature list and sub pages for the three modules it\'ll have.</p><p><strong>WordPress.org</strong><br\n /> I\'ve also just pulled the trigger and uploaded the plugin to WordPress.org, you can <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/\">find it here</a>. There are no stable versions yet, so auto update probably won\'t work yet, but you can <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wordpress-seo.zip\">download the latest version</a> from the WordPress.org plugin repository now.</p><p>You can of course, if you like it, also rate it with 5 stars, I wouldn\'t mind you doing that at all, as you can imagine.</p><p>The fact that it\'s now on WordPress.org also means I now have <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/tags/wordpress-seo\">support forums</a> there. Some of you had already started using those, and I\'ll be using them to take feedback from you, although you\'re still very welcome to email me as well. Changelogs will also be made for each update, and you\'ll always find them <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/changelog/\">here</a>. That page contains the changelog between the first beta and the current one too, have a read if you want, it\'s huge.</p><p><strong>Modules</strong><br\n /> So there are a couple of things I owe you, as loyal readers, an explanation on. First of all, this module thing. The plugin allows for modules to be loaded that add functionality to the plugin. I currently have three of these planned:</p><ul><li><a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/news-seo/\">News SEO</a></li><li><a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/video-seo/\">Video SEO</a></li><li><a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/local-seo/\">Local SEO</a></li></ul><p>The News SEO module, which is already in the download you can currently get from WordPress.org, is and will remain free. It allows generation of an XML News Sitemap, which you\'ll need if you want to be included in Google News. More features will be added to that later.</p><p>The other two modules will be paid modules; they serve a more niche market and will require quite a bit of work to get right, hence the need for them to be paid. All three modules are developed by me in partnership with a subject matter expert, what they\'ll do and who these guys are is outlined on the pages above. Trust me, they\'re the best in the business.</p><p><strong>Beta period</strong><br\n /> Second: this plugin is STILL in beta. It will probably remain in beta for at least another 2 weeks, maybe more. Your testing is very much appreciated and will remain to be very much appreciated. Whether you\'re sending me technical things that don\'t work or lines of text you don\'t understand or could be improved: it\'s all great.</p><p><strong>Integration</strong><br\n /> I\'m happy to say that Scribe SEO has been updated to work well with WordPress SEO, and the needed adaptions have been made to make it work well with Genesis too. The same work is underway for Thesis, and I\'ve also been talking to the WPML team to make sure the WordPress SEO plugin is fully compatible with WPML as well.</p><p>Lastly, Nathan Rice of StudioPress has been so kind to promise to update his <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seo-data-transporter/\">SEO Data Transporter plugin</a> soon to work with the plugin too, so you can easily move data back and forth between this plugin and other SEO plugins, should you ever want to switch away from this one...</p><p>This is a very exciting time for me, and I\'m very thankful for the help that everyone has provided so far, let\'s make this a great success together!</p><p><a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress-seo-public-beta/\">WordPress SEO now in public beta</a> is a post from <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/about-me/\">Joost de Valk</a>\'s <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com\">Yoast - Tweaking Websites</a>.A good WordPress blog needs good hosting, you don\'t want your blog to be slow, or, even worse, down, do you?

That’s why I said yes to being <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/advertise-here/#sponsoredreviews\">sponsored to review</a> yet another rank monitoring service, because I think this one adds some cool new features that I hadn\'t seen before.</p><p><a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://authoritylabs.com/\">AuthorityLabs</a> is a service that will monitor page position for specific keywords over time, just like a couple of other <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/tools/seo/rank-tracker/\">rank tracking</a> <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/tag/rank-tracker/\">services</a> we’ve reviewed in the past. If you are optimizing your website to move yourself onto the first page, this sort of tool might prove critical. It makes it possible for you to see, on a daily basis, where your site ranks relative to hundreds of keywords over many domains.</p><h2>Using the Rank Tracking Service</h2><p>To create a monitoring campaign takes just a few seconds.</p><ul><li>Enter a Domain Name in the search box.</li><li>Click Add New Domain or Page</li><li>Add Keywords for AuthorityLabs to monitor.</li><li>Come back in 24 hours and see some of the results.  More data will be collected, analyzed and visualized over the course of a week.</li><li>Adjust your link building & search engine optimizing activities and return to the site to see how your work has changed your ranking.</li></ul><p>The Rankings Page shows you how your page fares on Google, Yahoo and Bing, and tells you if it has gone up or down in a given time frame. It will make keyword suggestions based on your site content and you can export the collected data via CSV.</p><p>What’s very cool and sets this ranking tracker apart from others, is that it’ll also show what kind of results it has found in the search results pages with icons for the specific types of results. So if there are movie results, news results or rich snippets, it’ll tell you that. This is very important data as it might heavily impact your CTR. If you’re result #2, but #3 is a video result, the CTR of your result will be very different (read, lower, usually) than if there are no video results at all.</p><p>This also shows you possibilities: if other people are ranking there with a video result, why not try to rank there with your own video and play a bit with <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/video-seo/\">Video SEO</a>? If others are getting <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/tag/rich-snippets/\">rich snippets</a>, why shouldn’t you?</p><p>It also shows if you\'ve had indents or lower page rankings, which can be very important. If you\'re #1, and another page on your site is ranking #11 or #12, you know how much work you have to do to get an \"indent\" on the first page? Not much at all! You see, if that second results comes to #10, Google will automatically group it below your #1 result.</p><p>Because it allows you to group your keywords with tags, you can see whether specific groups are doing better or worse. See the screenshot below, or, for a better view, check the live <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://joost.authoritylabs.com/watched_domains/61482/tags/3929?public=jfdqrw\">public ranking report for my WordPress related keywords</a>.

You can monitor as few as 100 keywords over 10 domains for $24 and up to 1000 keywords over 50 domains for $99.  They offer a 30 day free trial.</p><p>In all, I think this is a pretty good service.

We have been playing with the <code>cd=</code> parameter at Yoast <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/track-seo-rankings-google-analytics/\">before</a> to track SEO rankings, as Mike also notes, and his improvement on the idea is a welcome one.</p><p>In the comments, my buddy <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://SEOgadget.co.uk/\">Richard Baxter</a> immediately suggested this would be a good addition to the <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress/google-analytics/\">Google Analytics for WordPress</a> plugin. The \"problem\" was/is that Mike\'s example was in PHP, doing the rank recognition server side. This won\'t work, as we all use <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/w3-total-cache/\">W3 Total Cache</a> to cache our pages, right? And then, we\'d be storing the same rank over and over again, or no rank at all, or, well you get it, mayhem ensues.</p><p>So, I had to come up with a javascript version that does the same. Luckily, that\'s not too hard. You simply need to do two things: check that the referrer is coming from google and that it contains the <code>cd=</code> parameter. If it does, get the value out of it and store it in a custom variable. Here\'s an example using the asynchronous tracking code, which you could, if you wanted to, drop into your site\'s footer already if you have asynchronous tracking running:</p><div\n class=\"wp_syntax\"><div\n class=\"code\"><pre class=\"javascript\" style=\"font-family:monospace;\"><span style=\"color:#000066;font-weight:bold;\">if</span> <span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#40;</span>document.<span style=\"color:#660066;\">referrer</span>.<span style=\"color:#660066;\">search</span><span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#40;</span><span style=\"color:#009966;font-style:italic;\">/[&#92;?|&]cd=/</span><span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#41;</span> <span style=\"color:#339933;\">!=</span> <span style=\"color:#339933;\">-</span><span style=\"color:#CC0000;\">1</span>\n  <span style=\"color:#339933;\">&&</span> document.<span style=\"color:#660066;\">referrer</span>.<span style=\"color:#660066;\">search</span><span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#40;</span><span style=\"color:#009966;font-style:italic;\">/google&#92;./</span><span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#41;</span> <span style=\"color:#339933;\">!=</span> <span style=\"color:#339933;\">-</span><span style=\"color:#CC0000;\">1</span><span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#41;</span> <span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#123;</span>\n	<span style=\"color:#003366;font-weight:bold;\">var</span> rank<span style=\"color:#339933;\">=</span>document.<span style=\"color:#660066;\">referrer</span>.<span style=\"color:#660066;\">match</span><span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#40;</span><span style=\"color:#009966;font-style:italic;\">/[&|&#92;?]cd=([&#92;d]+)/</span><span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#41;</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">;</span>\n	_gaq.<span style=\"color:#660066;\">push</span><span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#40;</span><span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#91;</span><span style=\"color:#3366CC;\">\'_setCustomVar\'</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">,</span><span style=\"color:#CC0000;\">1</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">,</span><span style=\"color:#3366CC;\">\'rank\'</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">,</span>rank<span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#91;</span><span style=\"color:#CC0000;\">1</span><span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#93;</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">,</span><span style=\"color:#CC0000;\">3</span><span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#93;</span><span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#41;</span><span style=\"color:#339933;\">;</span>\n<span style=\"color:#009900;\">&#125;</span></pre></div></div><p>This is now running on my blog as a test, when it works as I expected I\'ll add it to the plugin.

I can make this into a long story, but let\'s make it short: there\'s very good reasons for me and several other highly respected SEO\'s and affiliates around the world to think otherwise. Let me show you how to hide them.</p><p>In <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wp-community.org/2010/09/29/genesis-ms-wordpress-com/\">yesterday\'s WordPress Podcast</a>, Nathan Rice of StudioPress pointed us at a new plugin they\'ve developed called <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.studiopress.com/plugins/simple-urls\">Simple URLs</a>. It works great, and I thought I\'d use it to show you how to properly hide your affiliate links from Google. First of all, install that plugin. It will create a new custom post type and after that, you can very simply add a new redirect:</p><div\n id=\"attachment_3198\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width:560px;\"><img\n class=\"size-full wp-image-3198\" title=\"Creating a redirect with Simple URL\'s\" src=\"http://cdn.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/simple-urls.png\" alt=\"Creating a redirect with Simple URL\'s\" width=\"550\" height=\"197\"/><p\n class=\"wp-caption-text\">Creating a redirect with Simple URL\'s</p></div><p>Hit publish, and your redirect will work. The plugin will keep track of how many people followed the URL too, and show you in the overview:</p><div\n id=\"attachment_3199\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width:560px;\"><img\n class=\"size-full wp-image-3199\" title=\"Simple URL\'s overview and click statistics\" src=\"http://cdn.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/simple-urls-stats.png\" alt=\"Simple URL\'s overview and click statistics\" width=\"550\" height=\"215\"/><p\n class=\"wp-caption-text\">Simple URL\'s overview and click statistics</p></div><p>Now, you\'ve hidden your affiliate link. However, Simple URLs will do a straight 301 redirect, this is good for lots of cases, but in this case that would mean Google would still end up at the final destination, and we don\'t want that. So what you do is very simple: you go into your site\'s robots.txt file, and you add one line:</p><div\n class=\"wp_syntax\"><div\n class=\"code\"><pre class=\"txt\" style=\"font-family:monospace;\">Disallow: /go/</pre></div></div><p>If you didn\'t have a robots.txt file yet, you\'d need to have at least one line above that:</p><div\n class=\"wp_syntax\"><div\n class=\"code\"><pre class=\"txt\" style=\"font-family:monospace;\">User-Agent: *</pre></div></div><p>This means that the lines below are valid for all search engines.</p><p>This will prevent search engines from following those links, and thus prevents you from being penalized for those affiliate links. Of course, if you\'re a bit more hard core, the best way would be to go one step further. Then you\'d do a conditional redirect on those links: if it was a search engine spider, you\'d redirect them back to your homepage or another post, if it was a normal user, you\'d redirect them to the affiliate link. That\'s a bit shady though, so I wouldn\'t recommend doing that if you\'re not 100% sure you know what you\'re doing.</p><p>Now if you start doing this, it\'s also useful to add the outbound click tracking in my <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress/google-analytics/\">Google Analytics plugin</a>. If you\'ve enabled outbound click tracking, it will track your affiliate link clicks as events in Google Analytics:</p><div\n id=\"attachment_3201\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width:560px;\"><a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress/google-analytics/\"><img\n class=\"size-full wp-image-3201\" title=\"Google Analytics for WordPress  click tracking setup\" src=\"http://cdn.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Google-Analytics-click-tracking.png\" alt=\"Google Analytics for WordPress  click tracking setup\" width=\"550\" height=\"216\"/></a><p\n class=\"wp-caption-text\">Google Analytics for WordPress  click tracking setup</p></div><p>These will then show up in Analytics, go to Content > Event Tracking > Categories, and you\'ll see something like this, as you can see the affiliate links have been suffixed with the label \"aff\" I chose above:</p><div\n id=\"attachment_3202\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width:216px;\"><img\n class=\"size-full wp-image-3202\" title=\"affiliate clicks in Google Analytics\" src=\"http://cdn.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/affiliate-clicks.png\" alt=\"affiliate clicks in Google Analytics\" width=\"206\" height=\"317\"/><p\n class=\"wp-caption-text\">affiliate clicks in Google Analytics</p></div><p>Good luck making some money on affiliate marketing, and make sure to hide those affiliate links!</p><p><a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/affiliate-links-and-seo/\">Affiliate Links and SEO</a> is a post from <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/about-me/\">Joost de Valk</a>\'s <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com\">Yoast - Tweaking Websites</a>.A good WordPress blog needs good hosting, you don\'t want your blog to be slow, or, even worse, down, do you?

The adage of \"in the eyes of many, all bugs are shallow\" has always appealed hugely to me. Heck, I want<em> other developers</em> to fix the bugs I created. It just makes sense, doesn\'t it? They use my stuff; if they encounter a bug and are able to fix it, they send that fix back. That\'s the idea, that\'s why we use the GPL. It\'s time to teach some people about courtesy amongst open source users.</p><h2>Let me tell you a story...</h2><p>Some time ago, I created the <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress/breadcrumbs/\">breadcrumbs plugin</a>. It\'s pretty popular. No way of getting any real download / usage figures on it, because it has been embedded in Woothemes and StudioPress themes for a while, and there\'s quite a few other theme studio\'s using it too. I\'m down with that. Even when some of those theme developers who will remain unnamed forget to put proper attribution on it.</p><p>Yesterday I got an email from my buddy <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.uprise.nl\">Arjan</a>. He asked me whether I was going to fix the fact that my breadcrumbs plugin doesn\'t support custom taxonomies / post types yet. I\'ll admit it, I hadn\'t used it myself anywhere yet and was sort of stunned that it didn\'t work. So I went out to find a solution.</p><p>Turns out, quite a few people out there have patched my plugin for their own use, in their own themes or frameworks, and didn\'t tell me. There\'s only one group who get\'s to get away with that. That\'s Genesis. I actually added the plugin to their codebase myself when I worked with them last year, so they might not even have known that it was originally a plugin of mine. Other people though, are not in that position. They took, but didn\'t give back.</p><p>You see, in the open source world there\'s this notion of sending bug fixes \"<a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upstream_(software_development)\">upstream</a>\". It\'s what the whole Linux community relies on, and get\'s its stability from. It\'s the notion that you send a bug fix or enhancement as far back as you can, so we can all benefit. It would also mean that if I added new stuff to my plugin after that, you could just update, because I had your fixes in it also.</p><p>So, not only is not sending bug fixes upstream not courteous and a bad policy, it\'s actually dumb too: it breaks your ability to upgrade. Yet, every time I do a review of someone\'s blog and that someone is a coder, or every time I look at a theme that embedded some plugins, I find that they have changed stuff, and not sent their fixes to the original author. How the **** is the plugin author supposed to know you\'d like to improve something if you don\'t tell him/her?</p><h2>What you should be doing (developer)</h2><p>This only applies if you\'re a developer using WordPress and plugins to do your work, but if you are, I demand this of you: every time you find a bug in a plugin, you don\'t go and yell at the plugin\'s developer. You don\'t go tell him he sucks because his plugin doesn\'t work. You don\'t moan about it on Twitter, your blog, Facebook or wherever else you leave your faeces. You go off and you <strong>****ING FIX IT</strong>. And then, you do <em>not</em> blog about the fix, you just send the fix to the plugin developer, <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Subversion#Saving_patch.2Fdiff_files\">as a proper SVN patch</a>, with an email that reads somewhat along these lines:</p><blockquote><p>Hi Joost,</p><p>Thanks for all the effort you have put in to plugin <xyz>. I noticed while doing some work with it that it has a minor/major issue when <describe situation in which bug occurred>.</p><p>If you want to reproduce that, just do <steps to reproduce>.</p><p>I think I\'ve fixed it, and I\'ve attached my patch to the latest version. Let me know if this works for you, if not I\'d be happy to help come to a solution together.</p><p>Again, thanks for all the time you invest in maintaining this free plugin,</p><p>Cheers,</p><p>X</p></blockquote><p>You know, with almost 3 million downloads to all my plugins combined, you know how many emails that looked remotely like that I\'ve had? Less than I have fingers on my left hand.</p><p>But what do you do if you don\'t know how to fix it? It\'s ok. That happens. Then we\'ll treat you as a user, because you\'re obviously not real good at developing, right? ;)</p><h2>What you should be doing (as a user)</h2><p>You send the same email as the developers do, as seen above, leaving out the line about the patch. In that email, you have concise and clear steps to reproduce the issue you encountered, which you\'ve reproduced yourself. You see, for developers, even well specified bug reports are hard to come by.</p><p>I know this from experience, I\'ve maintained the <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://webkit.org/\">WebKit</a> Bugzilla install for over a year, weeding out bugs and changing vague little bug reports into something developers could actually use. I even co-wrote an article for webkit.org on <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://webkit.org/quality/bugwriting.html\">submitting a good bug report</a>. It\'s an entirely different class of product, but the same basic rules apply.</p><p>If you can, please try to reproduce the bug with all other plugins disabled. Make very sure it\'s not another plugin that has the bug, this happens more than you think.</p><p>Why I rant about this so hard? Well, I like people and I like developing. I like releasing things for free for everybody to use. I want to keep doing that. I know many plugin developers out there feel the same. We can be far more productive if people are actually helping us to improve the stuff we release. So, would all of you using our plugins, please be so kind as to abide by these simple rules?

It is the art of explaining what you do in the language that people use, and thus it should probably be the basis of all your marketing activities, both on and off the web. As an SEO, I use keyword research to determine what we should be ranking for. The issue is that I\'ve often found that part to be a bit annoying, as people tend to want to rank for entirely impossible terms. Last week, I\'ve found a solution, and that\'s what I\'ll show you today: the basis of keyword research. Keep on reading, as we\'ll get you started in the comments of this post.</p><p>Now, as you might know, I\'ve been in the SEO business for more than 6 years. It took me all those years to find out what it was that I disliked about keyword research and what I was doing wrong. It also took someone who\'s actually not in our business, but who\'s in the business of <em><a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.schoolforstartups.co.uk/\">business advice</a></em>, to discover it. The guy that - unbeknownst to him - changed my perspective on keyword research was Doug Richard, at last week\'s <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.madein48hours.co.uk/\">Made in 48 hours</a>. He graciously allowed me to use some of his slides for this post, for which I thank him.</p><p>Doug spent (and still spends, during his <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.schoolforstartups.co.uk/events/\">small business seminars</a>) quite a bit of time on asking people: \"Who are you? What promise do you make?\". Turns out, not a lot of people can answer that question effectively at first. However, the minute you become good at answering that question, you\'ll be on your way to being found more easily.</p><p><a rel=\"nofollow\"\n class=\"thickbox\" title=\"You are a secret waiting to be discovered by customers who are looking for someone to make that promise to them.\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://cdn.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/secret-large.png\"><img\n class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3127\" src=\"http://cdn.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/secret-e1284549245260.png\" alt=\"You are a secret waiting to be discovered by customers who are looking for someone to make that promise to them.\" width=\"250\" height=\"187\"/></a>You see, businesses are born out of ideas, some of these are great, some are not. But they\'re all born out of the idea that what you have to offer is special, and adds something to the market. That benefit, that advantage, that <em>promise</em>, is bound to also be reflected in the keywords people should be finding you for.</p><p>In fact, it\'s as Doug put it:</p><blockquote><p>You are a secret waiting to be discovered by customers who are looking for someone to make that promise to them.</p></blockquote><p>He then showed <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suRDUFpsHus\">this clip from Mad Men</a> which I\'m not going to withhold from you, as it\'s entirely too genius. Go watch it on Youtube now, as embedding is unfortunately forbidden. Go on, this post will still here when you get back.</p><p>Now let me give you an example. During the event we talked to Dave Fairbairn. Dave is just starting up his new business, and he\'s going to sell motor apparel. Now, as it happens, the motor apparel business turns out to be quite competitive. When we went more specific though, we found out that Dave makes motorcycle jeans, jeans that are both well designed and fashionable. Dave  doesn\'t just sell motor apparel, he sells <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://maplemoto.com/\">designer motorcycle jeans</a>. Now there\'s something you can both brand, and rank for.</p><p>You see, this is not a numbers game. Let me repeat that: this is not about numbers. It\'s about relevancy, and relevancy only. If Dave at some point thinks that he should be relevant for motorcycle clothing, he\'d better get working on a new business strategy to become relevant for that term. But you know what? He\'s better off dominating his own little niche first.</p><p>Try and see if you can describe your company as eloquently <em>and</em> succinctly as Dave:</p><blockquote><p>Maple Motorcycle Apparel are a feedback driven, design led, fashionable motorcycle jeans startup.</p></blockquote><p>So, do you have a promise like that? If so, what is it? You might have noticed mine on my homepage:</p><blockquote><p>Tweaking websites is what we do here at Yoast, from search engine rankings, to speed to user experience.</p></blockquote><p>That\'s what I do. It\'s what I do for my clients, what I blog and speak about, it\'s what I\'m good at. What are you good at? What are you offering people?

I\'ve been saying this for years, and have had some small examples to show for it. Now though, I\'ve got a great example that I wanted to share with you. The client in this case was Independer.nl and they lost a very important ranking (for the word <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.independer.nl/autoverzekering/intro.aspx\">autoverzekering</a>, Dutch for car insurance) for half a day due to unscheduled downtime. It\'s a perfect example of why <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n class=\"clicky_log_outbound\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/out/vps/\">good hosting</a> and <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://pingdom.com/\">monitoring</a> are so important.</p><p>What happened was that at around midnight, the servers would start to run a backup. A very smart process to have in place, of course, but for the course of that backup, about 10-15 minutes, a small percentage of visitors would be redirected to a \"temporarily not available\" page. This page gave a 404 error, causing Google to remove the page from its index, because it thought the page no longer existed. Good thing Google checks pages that have given a 404 error again after a while, so they didn\'t loose their rankings forever but just for the course of about half a day.</p><p>Several things are wrong here: first of all the page should have given a 503 status code, which means \"temporarily unavailable\". If it had, Google would just have come back to it rather quickly and not have removed the page from its index. Second; the page shouldn\'t have been redirecting or giving an error at all; your backup process should run without that much influence on your website. That\'s the only proper way of not having your hosting affect your SEO.</p><h2>SEO Hosting & monitoring</h2><p>Now of course, the minute you see your page has entirely disappeared from the ranking for a word that is getting you tens of new clients a day, you shit your pants. There was something that gave away that it wasn\'t a long term issue though: the listing had not just dropped a few places, it had in fact entirely disappeared. Normally, pages don\'t do that, the only two ways of disappearing entirely would be either a removal by hand because of spam or a page that had been down.</p><div\n id=\"attachment_3116\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"width:310px;\"><a rel=\"nofollow\"\n class=\"thickbox\" title=\"yoast.com uptime as measured by pingdom\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://cdn.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/yoast.com-uptime-pingdom.png\"><img\n class=\"size-medium wp-image-3116\" title=\"yoast.com uptime as measured by pingdom\" src=\"http://cdn.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/yoast.com-uptime-pingdom-300x141.png\" alt=\"yoast.com uptime as measured by pingdom\" width=\"300\" height=\"141\"/></a><p\n class=\"wp-caption-text\">yoast.com uptime as measured by pingdom</p></div><p>Luckily, we were using <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.pingdom.com/\">Pingdom</a> to track the uptime of the site, and we knew quite rapidly that they were having issues keeping their site up at night. So if you\'ve ever wonder why SEO & hosting are two topics I care for so much, it\'s because this example shows they\'re one and the same.</p><p>This is why I love <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n class=\"clicky_log_outbound\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/out/vps/\">VPS.net</a> so much, I\'ve had 2 minutes of down time in August, and those 2 minutes were probably my own fault as I was tinkering too much with my live site again...</p><p>By the way, VPS.net offers an add-on service called <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.serverdensity.com/\">Server Density</a>, which monitors several aspects of your site including its uptime. You can enable this on the upgrade page, and should then after a short install process, if you have an iPhone, install their <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.serverdensity.com/iphone/\">iPhone app</a>. Then, if you notice that you need more CPU or RAM, you can now just simply add this on VPS.net without even rebooting your system!</p><h2>Working on SEO? Hosting is important!</h2><p>So I guess by now you\'ll agree with me, that if you work hard for a client on their SEO, hosting is a very important factor that should not be underestimated. Take care of status codes for error pages, and make sure you monitor their uptime.</p><p><a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/seo-hosting/\">SEO Hosting</a> is a post from <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/about-me/\">Joost de Valk</a>\'s <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com\">Yoast - Tweaking Websites</a>.A good WordPress blog needs good hosting, you don\'t want your blog to be slow, or, even worse, down, do you?

The topic came up during <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.madein48hours.co.uk/\">Made in 48 hours</a>, and I thought I\'d do a post on the topic to explain myself more.</p><p><img\n class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3105\" title=\"Footer Links\" src=\"http://cdn.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/foot-chain-link-e1284494210988.jpg\" alt=\"Footer Links\" width=\"248\" height=\"165\"/></p><p>Let\'s draw an analogy: when you have someone build a house for you, what would you say if they\'d say: \"oh and btw, we\'ll leave a banner up on your roof\", or to make the analogy better, when they said nothing at all and just did it? You\'d either be mad and tell them to come take it off, or you\'d throw it off yourself, right?</p><p>The question is of course: why do web designers and web developers do this? The reasons are simple: they\'d like everyone to know that they designed that certain website <em>and</em> they use these footer links (if they\'re smart), to increase their search engine rankings. Luckily search engines, most notably Google, have been aware of this practice and are pretty good at making links in footers of pages not work as well, but that doesn\'t change the basic fact that the link should not be there.</p><p>The reason why this annoys me is that it\'s abusing the fact that most people who have a website built either for themselves or their company don\'t know the value of these links. It\'s basically the web developer taking advantage of the ignorance of their customer. A customer who, in most cases, wouldn\'t even now how to take a link like that out. Now what does that make them?</p><p>Don\'t get me wrong; I\'m not saying web developers and web designers can\'t have these links, they should just be very open about it and not make it a default. If you\'re a customer with footer links on your site, and it hasn\'t been discussed with you, nor is it not in the contract with your web developer or designer, feel free to take it off or, better yet, ask for that discount.</p><p>If you\'re using a WordPress theme or free template that has one of these footer links, and you\'ve gotten it for free, I\'d leave it there, because that\'s how you \"pay\" the designer / developer. If it has multiple links like that, or really spammy ones like sometimes happens on non-legit theme sites, I\'d personally take them out immediately, or not use the theme at all.</p><p><a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/footer-design-by-links/\">&#8220;Design by&#8221; footer links&#8230;</a> is a post from <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com/about-me/\">Joost de Valk</a>\'s <a rel=\"nofollow\"\n target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://yoast.com\">Yoast - Tweaking Websites</a>.A good WordPress blog needs good hosting, you don\'t want your blog to be slow, or, even worse, down, do you?

This was true when Joost wrote his original <a href=\"https://yoast.com/articles/wordpress-seo/\" rel=\"nofollow\">WordPress SEO</a> article in 2008 (updated every few months) and it&#8217;s still true today, but that doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t improve it further! This plugin is written from the ground up by Joost de Valk and his team at <a href=\"https://yoast.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Yoast</a> to improve your site&#8217;s SEO on <em>all</em> needed aspects. While this <a href=\"https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Yoast SEO plugin</a> goes the extra mile to take care of all the technical optimization, more on that below, it first and foremost helps you write better content.  Yoast SEO forces you to choose a focus keyword when you&#8217;re writing your articles, and then makes sure you use that focus keyword everywhere.</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Premium Support</strong><br />\n  The Yoast team does not always provide active support for the Yoast SEO plugin on the WordPress.org forums. One-on-one email support is available to people who bought the <a href=\"https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo-premium/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Premium Yoast SEO plugin</a> only.<br />\n  Note that the Premium SEO plugin has several extra features too, including the option to have multiple focus keywords and a redirect manager, so it might be well worth your investment!</p>\n<p>You should also check out the <a href=\"https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/local-seo/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Yoast Local SEO</a>, <a href=\"https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/news-seo/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Yoast News SEO</a> and <a href=\"https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/video-seo/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Yoast Video SEO</a> extensions to Yoast SEO. These of course come with support too.</p>\n<p><strong>Bug Reports</strong><br />\n  Bug reports for Yoast SEO are <a href=\"https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo\" rel=\"nofollow\">welcomed on GitHub</a>. Please note GitHub is <em>not</em> a support forum, and issues that aren&#8217;t properly qualified as bugs will be closed.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<h4>Write better content with Yoast SEO</h4>\n<p>Using the snippet preview, you can see a rendering of what your post or page will look like in the search results, whether your title is too long or too short, and whether your meta description makes sense in the context of a search result. This way the plugin will help you not only increase rankings but also increase the click through rate for organic search results.</p>\n<h4>Page Analysis</h4>\n<p>The Yoast SEO plugins <a href=\"https://yoast.com/content-seo-wordpress-linkdex/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Page Analysis</a> functionality checks simple things you&#8217;re bound to forget. It checks, for instance, if you have images in your post and whether they have an alt tag containing the focus keyword for that post. It also checks whether your posts are long enough, whether you&#8217;ve written a meta description and if that meta description contains your focus keyword, if you&#8217;ve used any subheadings within your post, etc. etc.</p>\n<p>The plugin alsgruo allows you to write meta titles and descriptions for all your category, tag and custom taxonomy archives, giving you the option to further optimize those pages.</p>\n<p>Combined, this plugin makes sure that your content is the type of content search engines will love!</p>\n<h4>Technical WordPress Search Engine Optimization</h4>\n<p>While out of the box WordPress is pretty good for SEO, it needs some tweaks here and there. This Yoast SEO plugin guides you through some of the settings needed, for instance by reminding you to enable pretty permalinks. But it also goes beyond that, by automatically optimizing and inserting the meta tags and link elements that Google and other search engines like so much:</p>\n<h4>Meta &amp; Link Elements</h4>\n<p>With the Yoast SEO plugin you can control which pages Google shows in its search results and which pages it doesn&#8217;t show. By default, it will tell search engines to index all of your pages, including category and tag archives, but to only show the first pages in the search results. It&#8217;s not very useful for a user to end up on the third page of your &#8220;personal&#8221; category, right?</p>\n<p>WordPress itself only shows canonical link elements on single pages, but Yoast SEO makes it output canonical link elements everywhere. Google has recently announced they would also use <code>rel=\"next\"</code> and <code>rel=\"prev\"</code> link elements in the <code>head</code> section of your paginated archives. This plugin adds those automatically. See <a href=\"https://yoast.com/rel-next-prev-paginated-archives/\" rel=\"nofollow\">this post</a> for more info.</p>\n<h4>XML Sitemaps</h4>\n<p>The Yoast SEO plugin has the most advanced XML Sitemaps functionality in any WordPress plugin. Once you check the box, it automatically creates XML sitemaps and notifies Google &amp; Bing of the sitemaps&#8217; existence. These XML sitemaps include the images in your posts &amp; pages too, so that your images may be found better in the search engines too.</p>\n<p>These XML Sitemaps will even work on large sites, because of how they&#8217;re created, using one index sitemap that links to sub-sitemaps for each 1,000 posts. They will also work with custom post types and custom taxonomies automatically, while giving you the option to remove those from the XML sitemap should you wish to.</p>\n<p>Because of using <a href=\"https://yoast.com/xsl-stylesheet-xml-sitemap/\" rel=\"nofollow\">XSL stylesheets for these XML Sitemaps</a>, the XML sitemaps are easily readable for the human eye too, so you can spot things that shouldn&#8217;t be in there.</p>\n<h4>RSS Optimization</h4>\n<p>Are you being outranked by scrapers? Instead of cursing at them, use them to your advantage! By automatically adding a link to your RSS feed pointing back to the original article, you&#8217;re telling the search engine where they should be looking for the original. This way, the Yoast SEO plugin increases your own chance of ranking for your chosen keywords and gets rid of scrapers in one go!</p>\n<h4>Breadcrumbs</h4>\n<p>If your theme is compatible, and themes based on for instance Genesis or by WooThemes often are, you can use the built-in Breadcrumbs functionality. This allows you to create an easy navigation that is great for both users and search engines, and will support the search engines in understanding the structure of your site.</p>\n<p>Making your theme compatible isn&#8217;t hard either, check <a href=\"https://kb.yoast.com/kb/implement-wordpress-seo-breadcrumbs/\" rel=\"nofollow\">these instructions</a>.</p>\n<h4>Edit your .htaccess and robots.txt file</h4>\n<p>Using the built-in file editor, you can edit your WordPress blog&#8217;s <code>.htaccess</code> and <code>robots.txt</code> file, giving you direct access to the two most powerful files, from an SEO perspective, in your WordPress install.</p>\n<h4>Social Integration</h4>\n<p>SEO and Social Media are heavily intertwined. That&#8217;s why this plugin also comes with a Facebook OpenGraph implementation and will soon also support Google+ sharing tags.</p>\n<h4>Multi-Site Compatible</h4>\n<p>The Yoast SEO plugin, unlike some others, is fully Multi-Site compatible. The XML Sitemaps work fine in all setups and you even have the option, in the Network settings, to copy the settings from one blog to another, or make blogs default to the settings for a specific blog.</p>\n<h4>Import &amp; Export functionality</h4>\n<p>If you have multiple blogs, setting up plugins like this one on all of them might seem like a daunting task. Except that it&#8217;s not, because what you can do is simple: you set up the plugin once. You then export your settings and simply import them on all your other sites. It&#8217;s that simple!</p>\n<h4>Import functionality for other WordPress SEO plugins</h4>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve used All In One SEO Pack or HeadSpace2 before using this plugin, you might want to import all your old titles and descriptions. You can do that easily using the built-in import functionality. There&#8217;s also import functionality for some of the older Yoast plugins, like Robots Meta and RSS footer.</p>\n<p>Should you have a need to import from another SEO plugin to Yoast SEO, or from a theme like Genesis or Thesis, you can use the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seo-data-transporter/\" rel=\"nofollow\">SEO Data Transporter</a> plugin, which will easily convert your SEO meta data from and to a whole set of plugins like Platinum SEO, SEO Ultimate, Greg&#8217;s High Performance SEO, and themes like Headway, Hybrid, WooFramework, Catalyst etc.</p>\n<p>Read <a href=\"https://yoast.com/all-in-one-seo-pack-migration/\" rel=\"nofollow\">this migration guide</a> if you still have questions about migrating from another SEO plugin to Yoast SEO.</p>\n<h4>Yoast SEO Plugin in your Language!</h4>\n<p>Currently a huge translation project is underway, translating Yoast SEO in as much as 24 languages. So far, the translations for French and Dutch are complete, but we still need help on a lot of other languages, so if you&#8217;re good at translating, please join us at <a href=\"http://translate.yoast.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">translate.yoast.com</a>.</p>\n<h4>News SEO</h4>\n<p>Be sure to also check out the premium <a href=\"https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/news-seo/\" rel=\"nofollow\">News SEO module</a> if you need Google News Sitemaps.

<code>/wp-content/plugins/</code> directory</li>\n<li>Activate the plugin through the &#8216;Plugins&#8217; menu in WordPress</li>\n<li>Go to the Tools -&gt; Import screen, click on WordPress</li>\n</ol>\n</dd>\n<dt>Help! I&#8217;m getting out of memory errors or a blank screen.</dt>\n<dd>\n<p>If your exported file is very large, the import script may run into your host&#8217;s configured memory limit for PHP.</p>\n<p>A message like &#8220;Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted&#8221; indicates that the script can&#8217;t successfully import your XML file under the current PHP memory limit. If you have access to the php.ini file, you can manually increase the limit; if you do not (your WordPress installation is hosted on a shared server, for instance), you might have to break your exported XML file into several smaller pieces and run the import script one at a time.</p>\n<p>For those with shared hosting, the best alternative may be to consult hosting support to determine the safest approach for running the import.

Built to integrate seamlessly with WordPress, WooCommerce is the world’s favorite eCommerce solution that gives both store owners and developers complete control.</p>\n<p>With endless flexibility and access to hundreds of free and premium WordPress extensions, WooCommerce now powers 30% of all online stores &#8212; more than any other platform.</p>\n<iframe class=\'youtube-player\' type=\'text/html\' width=\'640\' height=\'390\' src=\'https://www.youtube.com/embed/1KahlicghaE?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent\' allowfullscreen=\'true\' style=\'border:0;\'></iframe>\n<h4>Sell anything, anywhere</h4>\n<p>With WooCommerce, you can sell both physical and digital goods in all shapes and sizes, offer product variations, multiple configurations, and instant downloads to shoppers, and even sell affiliate goods from online marketplaces.</p>\n<p>With premium extensions, you can offer bookings, memberships, and recurring subscriptions. Perhaps you’d like to sell monthly subscriptions for physical goods, or offer your members a discount on digital downloads? It’s all possible.</p>\n<h4>Ship wherever you like</h4>\n<p>Offer free shipping, flat rate shipping, or make real-time calculations. Limit your shipments to specific countries, or open your store up to the world. Shipping is highly configurable, and WooCommerce even supports drop shipping.</p>\n<h4>Extensive payment options</h4>\n<p>WooCommerce comes bundled with the ability to accept major credit cards, PayPal, BACS (bank transfers), and cash on delivery. Need additional options? More than 140 region-specific gateways integrate with WooCommerce, including popular choices like Stripe, Authorize.Net, and Amazon Payments.</p>\n<h4>You control it all &#8212; forever</h4>\n<p>WooCommerce gives you complete control of your store, from taxes to stock levels to customer accounts. Add and remove extensions, change your design, and switch settings as you please. It’s all under your control.</p>\n<p>One of the biggest risks of using a hosted eCommerce platform is what happens to your store if the provider closes up shop. With WooCommerce, you have complete control, so there’s never any reason to worry. Your data belongs to you &#8212; and it’s kept secure, thanks to regular audits by industry leaders.</p>\n<h4>Define your style with Storefront</h4>\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/storefront/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Storefront</a> is a free WordPress theme available to any WooCommerce store. Along with deep WooCommerce integration, Storefront prioritizes speed and uptime while eliminating theme and plugin conflicts during major updates.</p>\n<p>Define your style even further by customizing Storefront to your liking or choosing from one of our several <a href=\"https://woocommerce.com/product-category/themes/storefront-child-theme-themes/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Storefront child themes</a>. It’s all up to you, and all open source.</p>\n<h4>Built with developers in mind</h4>\n<p>Extendable, adaptable, and open source &#8212; WooCommerce was created with developers in mind. With its strong, robust framework, you can scale your client’s store all the way from basic to high-end (infinity and beyond).</p>\n<p>Built with a REST API, WooCommerce can integrate with virtually any service. Your store’s data can be accessed anywhere, anytime, 100% securely. WooCommerce allows developers to easily create, modify, and grow a store that meets their specifications.</p>\n<p>No matter the size of the store you want to build, WooCommerce will scale to meet your requirements. With a growing collection of more than 300 extensions, you can enhance each store’s features to meet your client’s unique needs &#8212; or even create your own solution.</p>\n<p>If security is a concern, rest easy. WooCommerce is audited by a dedicated team of developers working around the clock to identify and patch any and all discovered bugs.</p>\n<p>We also support WooCommerce and all its extensions with comprehensive, easily-accessible documentation. With our docs, you’ll learn how to create the exact site your client needs.</p>\n<h4>Extensions galore</h4>\n<p>WordPress.org is home to some amazing extensions for WooCommerce, including:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-google-analytics-integration/\">Google Analytics</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-delivery-notes/\">Delivery Notes</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips/\">PDF Invoices and Packing Slips</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/affiliates-woocommerce-light/\">Affiliates Integration Light</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-new-product-badge/\">New Product Badges</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Keen to see them all?

That should return things to normal.</p>\n<h4>Dummy data</h4>\n<p>WooCommerce comes with some dummy data you can use to see how products look; either import dummy_data.xml via the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-importer/\">WordPress importer</a> or use our <a href=\"https://woocommerce.com/products/product-csv-import-suite/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CSV Import Suite plugin</a> to import dummy_data.csv and dummy_data_variations.csv.</p>\n</dd>\n<dt>Where can I find WooCommerce documentation and user guides?</dt>\n<dd>\n<p>For help setting up and configuring WooCommerce please refer to our <a href=\"https://docs.woocommerce.com/documentation/plugins/woocommerce/getting-started/\" rel=\"nofollow\">user guide</a></p>\n<p>For extending or theming WooCommerce, see our <a href=\"https://docs.woocommerce.com/documentation/plugins/woocommerce/woocommerce-codex/\" rel=\"nofollow\">codex</a>.</p>\n</dd>\n<dt>Where can I get support or talk to other users?</dt>\n<dd>\n<p>If you get stuck, you can ask for help in the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce\" rel=\"nofollow\">WooCommerce Plugin Forum</a>.</p>\n<p>For help with premium extensions from WooThemes, use <a href=\"https://support.woothemes.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\">our helpdesk</a>.</p>\n</dd>\n<dt>Will WooCommerce work with my theme?</dt>\n<dd>\n<p>Yes; WooCommerce will work with any theme, but may require some styling to make it match nicely.

Core contributors have been <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/02/28/the-new-editor-and-browser-support/\" target=\"_blank\">discussing</a> <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/03/13/continued-discussion-on-browser-support/\" target=\"_blank\">browser support</a> for the past two months in relationship to setting technical requirements for the new editor.</p>\n<p>Microsoft <a href=\"https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/End-of-IE-support\" target=\"_blank\">discontinued support for IE 8, 9, and 10</a> in January 2016, which means these versions no longer receive security updates. Mullenweg said that attempting to continue supporting these browsers is holding back WordPress development.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I realize that folks still running these browsers are probably stuck with them because of something out of their control, like being at a library or something,&#8221; Mullenweg said. &#8220;Depending on how you count it, those browsers combined are either around 3% or under 1% of total users, but either way they’ve fallen below the threshold where it’s helpful for WordPress to continue testing and developing against.&#8221;</p>\n<p>In an effort to determine how many people are still using these insecure and obsolete browsers, Jonathan Desrosiers collected data from three different sources. The following are numbers for global IE usage published by StatCounter&#8217;s <a href=\"http://gs.statcounter.com/\" target=\"_blank\">GlobalStats</a>, which Desrosiers said are nearly identical to WordPress.com&#8217;s numbers:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>IE8: 0.41%</li>\n<li>IE9: 0.26%</li>\n<li>IE10: 0.26%</li>\n<li>IE11: 3.79%</li>\n</ul>\n<p>WordPress will not stop working entirely in these browsers, but after the 4.8 release contributors will no longer test new features against older versions of IE. Some capabilities in wp-admin may be more limited. Mullenweg confirmed that the next versions of TinyMCE will no support older IE versions.</p>\n<p>Global IE usage has declined from 7.44% in March 2016 to 4.18% in March 2017. IE marketshare has been shrinking as mobile device usage has gone up. October 2016 marked the first month in history that <a href=\"http://gs.statcounter.com/press/mobile-and-tablet-internet-usage-exceeds-desktop-for-first-time-worldwide\" target=\"_blank\">mobile and tablet traffic exceeded desktop usage worldwide</a>. As this trend of declining desktop usage continues, IE will likely be buried within a couple of years.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I have been hard pressed to find a U.S. government agency running a version of IE less than 11,&#8221; WordPress lead developer Andrew Nacin commented on the announcement. &#8220;Government agency websites similarly see negligible traffic from IE &lt; 11.&#8221;</p>\n<p>The decision to drop support for IE 8, 9, and 10 was met with celebration from the WordPress developer community. Focusing on browsers that still receive security updates is a better use of open source contributors&#8217; time and resources. Developers who do client work can also refer to WordPress&#8217; IE support policy when pressured by clients to support insecure browsers.</p>\n<p>Naturally, the topic of raising minimum browser requirements resulted in developers lobbying to drop support for PHP 5.2, which reached end of life more than six years ago. In March 2015, <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-version-stats-updated-more-than-13-of-sites-are-running-wordpress-4-1\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress stats estimated PHP 5.2 usage at 16.6%</a>, but that number has dropped steadily to <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/about/stats/\" target=\"_blank\">5.1%</a> today. The task of updating a browser to the latest version was designed to be easy for users, but upgrading PHP versions is still somewhat complicated for those who are not receiving help from their hosting companies. The 5.1% on PHP 5.2 represents millions of users who would need to cross a significant hurdle into order to stay current with the latest version of WordPress.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Mon, 24 Apr 2017 21:18:07 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:1;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:94:\"Post Status: Breaking into and building community, with WordPress and beyond — Draft podcast\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"https://poststatus.com/?p=36524\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:82:\"https://poststatus.com/breaking-building-community-wordpress-beyond-draft-podcast/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1992:\"<p>Welcome to the Post Status <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/category/draft\">Draft podcast</a>, which you can find <a href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/post-status-draft-wordpress/id976403008\">on iTunes</a>, <a href=\"https://play.google.com/music/m/Ih5egfxskgcec4qadr3f4zfpzzm?t=Post_Status__Draft_WordPress_Podcast\">Google Play</a>, <a href=\"http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/krogsgard/post-status-draft-wordpress-podcast\">Stitcher</a>, and <a href=\"http://simplecast.fm/podcasts/1061/rss\">via RSS</a> for your favorite podcatcher.

WordPress developers <a href=\"https://jkudish.com/2017/04/20/better-plugin-recommendations-for-wordpress/\" target=\"_blank\">Joey Kudish</a> and <a href=\"https://secretpizza.party/wordpress-needs-curation/\" target=\"_blank\">Nick Hamze</a> have released a plugin that brings better recommendations to the admin.</p>\n<p>Hamze contends that the first plugins that appear in the featured section have a smaller, niche audience, and are unlikely to be useful to the majority of new users.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/add-new-plugins-featured.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>The recommended plugins are slightly better, as they are based on plugins that the user and other users have installed. However, Hamze believes they could be tweaked even further to display plugins that specifically benefit new users. The Recommended tab was <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/30337\" target=\"_blank\">introduced two years ago</a> to display results based on plugins that are commonly used together. It excludes plugins that users already have installed.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/recommended-plugins.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>&#8220;I really want to help WordPress but I think what is most needed isn’t a new editor or more guidelines but rather someone to take all the stuff in this fractured ecosystem and bring it together,&#8221; Hamze said. &#8220;Get rid of all the crap and only show people the stuff worth using.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Hamze said he doesn&#8217;t know if WordPress can solve this problem diplomatically with code. He believes manual curation is required to deliver the best new user experience. A <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/34212\" target=\"_blank\">ticket</a> for re-thinking the default &#8216;Add Plugins&#8217; tabs/filters was is open on WordPress trac, as the plugins that appear in these screens have remained unchanged for some time. The ticket hasn&#8217;t received much discussion yet.</p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-plugin-recommendations/\" target=\"_blank\">Better Plugin Recommendations</a> plugin removes the default and featured recommendations tabs and includes a new recommendations tab curated by Hamze to appeal to new users. Below is an example of the first 10 recommendations the plugin includes:</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/better-recommended-plugins.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>Hamze uses the following criteria to select the recommended plugins:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Price (Free)</li>\n<li>Numbers of users</li>\n<li>Average Rating</li>\n<li>Last Updated</li>\n<li>Support Given</li>\n</ul>\n<p>When asked why the recommendations don&#8217;t include Jetpack, Hamze said it didn&#8217;t seem necessary, given its high position in the popular tab and the fact that it already comes pre-installed with many hosts.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https://twitter.com/jeherve\">@jeherve</a> <a href=\"https://twitter.com/jkudish\">@jkudish</a> <a href=\"https://twitter.com/jetpack\">@jetpack</a> Haha, I actually like jetpack but since it\'s already at the top of the popular tab and preinstalled almost everywhere, didn\'t seem necessary</p>\n<p>&mdash; Nick Hamze (@NickHamze) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/NickHamze/status/855389412510674944\">April 21, 2017</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<p>Hamze and Kudish created a web service that delivers the recommendations to sites where the plugin is installed.

Music was particularly surprising given that he had music on at his desk pretty much all the time, and really enjoyed loading a new CD or record into the media library he had set up at home. One of the songs I remember playing for him was from a band, Manhattan Transfer, that we used to listen to a lot when I was younger and just learning about jazz, I chose <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwL9xf3YQ-4\">Tuxedo Junction</a> because it might cheer him up.</p>\n<p>I remember him smiling faintly. (I wish I had played him more music. I wish I had recorded more of his stories, ideally before he got sick. I wish I had figured out how to navigate the hospital and health care system better.)</p>\n<p>What I didn&#8217;t anticipate was how after <a href=\"https://ma.tt/2016/04/in-memoriam-chuck-mullenweg/\">his death</a> there would be aftershocks of grief that would hit me over and over again, especially while driving or in a plane. I went from crying maybe three times in the past decade to breaking down at the end of a company town hall, when talking to family, when my Mom found out about the anniversary present my Dad had been looking at, and with any number of songs that unexpectedly took on a new meaning.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgKAFK5djSk\">Wiz Khalifa &amp; Charlie Puth&#8217;s See You Again</a>, is obvious, and was in heavy rotation every public place I went; <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHCob76kigA\">Lukas Graham&#8217;s 7 Years</a> completely broke me down when it talked about children &#8212; if I ever have any my father will never meet them; <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WibQR0tQ0P8\">Kayne &amp; Paul McCartney&#8217;s Only One</a>, the tribute to Kanye&#8217;s daughter and passed mother and I think perhaps his best song; <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp-EO5I60KA\">Ed Sheeran&#8217;s Thinking Out Loud</a>, about growing old together, turning 70 as he was so close to doing; <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkBKJMTCHGk\">Kanye&#8217;s Ultralight Beam</a> snuck up on me, I didn&#8217;t expect it, but the questioning and gospel and anger and hope in it captured something I didn&#8217;t even realize I was feeling. Even jazz wasn&#8217;t safe, <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWeXOm49kE0\">Horace Silver&#8217;s lyric-less Song for My Father</a> had the same effect.</p>\n<p><img /></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NLZCLKppZs\">John Mayer&#8217;s Stop This Train</a> is a song I&#8217;ve probably heard a hundred times since it came out in 2006, but all of sudden these words meant something completely different:</p>\n<blockquote><p>So scared of getting older<br />\nI&#8217;m only good at being young<br />\nSo I play the numbers game<br />\nTo find a way to say that life has just begun</p>\n<p>Had a talk with my old man<br />\nSaid, &#8220;Help me understand&#8221;<br />\nHe said, &#8220;Turn sixty-eight<br />\nYou&#8217;ll renegotiate&#8221;</p></blockquote>\n<p>I almost had to pull the car over: he was sixty-eight. What I would give for just one more conversation with him like the one the day before he passed. I wish I had written more down, recorded more of his stories, learned more about his journey.</p>\n<p>As the year has passed, the surprise crying is much less common even when one of <a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/user/1211384122/playlist/3UiuLpSyYUZduDPkaaCmCA\">these songs</a> comes on the radio. Usually when I think of my father it&#8217;s with a smile. I&#8217;ve even had a few treasured dreams where we&#8217;ve been able to talk, nothing that made much sense (it was a dream) but I remember waking up with an overwhelming feeling of enveloping love. While the &#8220;new normal&#8221; is different, I can&#8217;t say it&#8217;s better &#8212; he&#8217;s still gone.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Sat, 22 Apr 2017 05:12:39 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4:\"Matt\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:4;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:46:\"WPTavern: Embed Mastodon Statuses in WordPress\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=68788\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:57:\"https://wptavern.com/embed-mastodon-statuses-in-wordpress\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4387:\"<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/mastodon-logo.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>After the <a href=\"https://blog.twitter.com/2017/now-on-twitter-140-characters-for-your-replies\" target=\"_blank\">controversial changes to Twitter&#8217;s @reply feature</a>, which no longer counts usernames towards the 140-character limit, Mastodon registrations rose sharply. <a href=\"https://mastodon.social/\" target=\"_blank\">Mastodon</a> is a free, open source, decentralized network that  has many similarities to Twitter. The software, named in honor of its creator&#8217;s favorite metal band, was launched in October and registered 24,000 users in the first six months. A strong negative reaction to Twitter&#8217;s changes has fueled a spike in Mastodon registrations. In the last week alone, the software&#8217;s user base has grown from 237,000 users on April 15 to <a href=\"https://mnm.eliotberriot.com/dashboard/db/network-drilldown?refresh=30m&orgId=1&from=now-7d&to=now\" target=\"_blank\">more than 414,000 users</a> today.</p>\n<p>Mastodon is different from Twitter in that it is broken up into different independently-hosted instances. Whereas Twitter has struggled to combat trolls and abuse on its platform, Mastodon instances can each declare and enforce their own rules. For example, the flagship <a href=\"https://mastodon.social/about/more\" target=\"_blank\">Mastodon.social</a> instance bans content that is illegal in Germany or France, such as Nazi symbolism and Holocaust denial, excessive advertising, racism, sexism, and other undesirable posts.</p>\n<p>Mastodon&#8217;s Tweetdeck-style interface allows users to post &#8220;toots&#8221; with a 500-word character limit. Toots can also be published with a content warning so that users can choose whether to view it.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/mastodon.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>With all the increased activity around Mastodon this week, there was bound to be someone with the desire to display toots on their website. The first plugin for bringing Mastodon content into WordPress has landed in the plugin directory. <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/embed-mastodon/\" target=\"_blank\">Embed Mastodon</a> was created by David Libeau, a French developer and Mastodon enthusiast. It allows users to embed toots using a shortcode.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/mastodon-embed.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>&#8220;I created this plugin because <a href=\"http://www.numerama.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Numerama</a>, a french tech website, was saying that it could be cool to embed Mastodon statuses, like with Twitter, in WordPress,&#8221; Libeau said. &#8220;I was thinking the same when I wrote a small article on my personal blog. I am using both Twitter and Mastodon but want to progressively leave Twitter.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Libeau said he is not a WordPress developer and Mastodon Embed is his first plugin. He does not know if it&#8217;s coded well but said users may be interested in <a href=\"https://github.com/ginsterbusch/mastodon-embed\" target=\"_blank\">an alternative plugin on GitHub</a> that is a complete rewrite of his effort. The rewrite includes multiple embeds, caching, proper shortcode initialization, and fallback to &#8220;direct&#8221; embeds if embed via iframe is forbidden.</p>\n<p>Libeau said he doesn&#8217;t know what will happen to his plugin in light of the rewrite, but he is continuing to develop <a href=\"http://mastodon.tools/\" target=\"_blank\">small tools for Mastodon users</a>. Mastodon has an open API for apps and services, which makes it easy for developers to build things that integrate with it.</p>\n<p>After testing the Mastodon Embed plugin I found that it works but may have a couple of styling issues with the link display. If you find that it&#8217;s not working, it&#8217;s possible that your particular Mastodon instance configuration does not allow embedding via iFrame. To resolve this you may need to contact the admin of the instance or use the fork of the plugin that has a fallback for this scenario. If you find a bug with the Mastodon Embed plugin hosted on WordPress.org, you can <a href=\"https://github.com/DavidLibeau/mastodon-tools/issues\" target=\"_blank\">log an issue on Libeau&#8217;s Mastodon Tools repository</a>.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Sat, 22 Apr 2017 03:18:28 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:5;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:57:\"WPTavern: Headway Themes Appears to be Dying a Slow Death\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=68837\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:68:\"https://wptavern.com/headway-themes-appears-to-be-dying-a-slow-death\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:9405:\"<p>It&#8217;s been seven months since Grant and Clay Griffiths, founders of Headway Themes, <a href=\"http://headwaythemes.com/the-future-of-headway/\">apologized</a> to customers for failing to communicate on a regular basis and provide adequate customer support. In the apology, the founders admit that the company was experiencing <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/headway-themes-confirms-financial-difficulties-issues-apology-to-customers\">financial difficulties</a> and noted that competition in the WordPress drag-and-drop page-builder space was tough. The duo vowed to communicate more, provide better customer support, and continue to develop Headway 4.0. Has anything changed since the apology was published?</p>\n<h2>Headway Themes Migrates to FlyWheel Hosting</h2>\n<p>In December of 2016, <a href=\"https://getflywheel.com/\">Flywheel</a> hosting <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/flywheel-acquires-wordpress-local-development-tool-pressmatic\">acquired Pressmatic,</a> created by Clay Griffiths. Soon after, Headway Themes migrated to Flywheel hosting which caused a few hiccups such as site downtime due to DNS propagation, login issues, and an issue with the Headway Dashboard. The acquisition raised questions on how it would affect Clay&#8217;s ability to work on Headway.</p>\n<p>“This acquisition and employment will provide myself and my family much more stability than we’ve had in a long time, and will allow me to better focus on Headway in my spare time,” Griffiths said. “This includes rolling out the upcoming 4.1 release, and working hard to make sure the support and other outstanding issues are resolved for all our customers.”</p>\n<h2>Influx Confirms Communication Issues With Founders</h2>\n<p>Soon after the apology, Headway Themes began to use Influx to provide first-tier customer support. <a href=\"https://influx.com/\">Influx</a> provides customer support for companies, including those in the WordPress ecosystem such as <a href=\"https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/\">Advanced Custom Fields</a>. Any issues that Influx couldn&#8217;t solve are escalated to Clay and Grant. In February, Gary Bairéad, a former Headway Themes employee, <a href=\"https://twitter.com/garybairead/status/834823813674188800\">contacted Headway Themes support</a> about the status of Headway 4.0 and received the following response.</p>\n<p><img /></p>\n<p>Influx couldn&#8217;t answer the question because Headway developers had not informed them of its progress despite inquiring about it. Influx notes that there may be a beta released in the near future but not to be quoted on it because a similar promise was made five months prior. In January, the official <a href=\"https://twitter.com/headwaythemes\">Headway Themes Twitter account</a> confirmed that Headway was being supported and that 4.0 would be released soon.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https://twitter.com/3BugMedia\">@3BugMedia</a> we are fully supporting Headway.  4.0 update coming soon. ^gg</p>\n<p>&mdash; Headway Themes (@headwaythemes) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/headwaythemes/status/816698625380286464\">January 4, 2017</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<p>Around the same time period, another Headway Themes customer submitted a support request asking about the status of a longstanding issue they were having. Influx explained that there was a lull because the main developers were failing to communicate. The support representative also pointed out that it seemed the only way for customers to get information about Headway Themes was by emailing support.</p>\n<p><img /></p>\n<p>Influx says it tried multiple times to contact Headway Themes developers about the issue and said it was lobbying hard to get it rectified.</p>\n<h2>Payments Stop for Third-Party Block Developers</h2>\n<p>In February, Bairéad <a href=\"https://headwayupdate.wordpress.com/2017/02/03/update-4-dont-renew-3rd-party-blocks-through-headwaythemes-com/\">published a request</a> to third-party block customers to not renew through Headway Themes.com and to instead, purchase and renew directly from the developer&#8217;s sites. Chris Howard, founder of <a href=\"http://pizazzwp.com/\">Pizazz WP,</a> and Chris Rault, co-founder of <a href=\"https://www.headwayrocket.com/\">HeadwayRocket,</a> <a href=\"https://twitter.com/HeadwayRocket/status/826005360834142208\">confirmed</a> they are owed money from customers who purchased and renewed blocks through Headway Themes.com.</p>\n<p>I reached out to both developers to see if they&#8217;ve been paid since February.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve sent Clay a bunch of messages, but he&#8217;s completely ignoring me and hasn&#8217;t paid over another cent since the last long delay,&#8221; Rault said.</p>\n<p>&#8220;It’s down to only 2 or 3 renewals a month, but I’m not receiving anything still. I&#8217;d estimate they still owe me around $2,000,&#8221; Howard said.</p>\n<p>For Howard, the issue of not receiving payments has been <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/headway-3-8-9-patches-potential-xss-vulnerability#comment-200810\">going on for months</a>.</p>\n<h2>Former Support Staff Still Owed Money</h2>\n<p>Headway Themes&#8217; apology does not mention the former support team who the company <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/former-headway-themes-employee-goes-public-staff-has-not-been-paid-and-customers-are-not-receiving-support\">failed to pay</a> on time for months. Since the apology, members of the team have received small payments but are still owed thousands of dollars. Receiving payments from Headway Themes is often a difficult process.</p>\n<p>After not receiving a payment in February, a former team member sent a flurry of emails to Grant and Clay Griffiths inquiring about the payment. Clay eventually responded that they would send out payments when they&#8217;re able too. After a week of questioning when that would be with no response, the team member received a payment.</p>\n<h2>Influx Says Headway Themes is Restructuring</h2>\n<p>A Headway Themes customer recently contacted support to ask about the status of Headway and published Influx&#8217;s response to the company&#8217;s support forums. Here&#8217;s their response:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Hi [Redacted],</p>\n<p>Thanks for reaching out.</p>\n<p>Currently, Headway is going through a restructuring phase to resolve the challenges being faced at this time. We do not have the full details here at support but the main stakeholders are working to return Headway to its rightful mode of operations.</p>\n<p>Please let me know if there are any more questions that I can answer for you. Kind Regards.</p></blockquote>\n<p>To learn more about the restructuring process and what&#8217;s going on with Headway development, I reached out to Grant and Clay Griffiths. Both have not responded to my request for comment.</p>\n<h2>Blox Picks Up Where Headway Left Off</h2>\n<p>Last year, when it appeared the future of Headway Themes <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/headway-themes-future-is-uncertain-amidst-financial-troubles\">was in jeopardy</a>, Maarten Schraven forked the <a href=\"http://bloxthemebuilder.com/start-downloading-beta-blox-theme-v1-0-0/\">Headway 3.8.8 codebase</a> and named it <a href=\"http://bloxthemebuilder.com/\">Blox Builder</a>. Blox Builder is 100% GPL Licensed and is a direct replacement for Headway. Schraven recently <a href=\"http://bloxtheme.com/lots-of-questions-about-blox-theme/\">answered a number of questions</a> related to the project, one of which is how easy is it to transfer from Headway to Blox.</p>\n<blockquote><p>There are different ways to convert your Headway Theme to Blox Theme. The best way is to export your template, you get an .json file. In this file you have to change hw to bt and headway to blox. If you have a large website you also can change the database tables. Some of our users have Blox Theme and Headway Themes side by side and switch between them. The last way (not yet available) is our conversion script. This script can do two things, change the database or do the same search and replace. This script will work automatic or as standalone.</p>\n<p>Or, if you think this is to difficult, you always can ask us for the conversion, we can discuss this on e-mail or skype</p></blockquote>\n<p>There&#8217;s no time frame on when the conversion script will be available. If you&#8217;re a fan of the way Headway Themes works and are looking for a similar replacement, check out Blox Builder.</p>\n<h2>Many in the Headway Themes Community Have Moved On</h2>\n<p>A number of devoted fans and customers of Headway have switched to other page builders like Divi, Elementor, and Beaver Builder. What was once a vibrant community-run Slack channel for Headway Themes enthusiasts has turned into a ghost town. There is little hope among them that the company will be able to rebound.</p>\n<h2>Not Much Has Changed</h2>\n<p>Unfortunately, the issues that prompted Headway Themes&#8217; founders to issue an apology are still present. There is a lack of communication on the company&#8217;s blog, social media accounts, and to Influx, the company it has outsourced customer support to. The apology dated Sept 13, 2016, was the last post published to the company&#8217;s blog. Former employees and third-party developers are still owed considerable amounts of money and there has been little if any development on the Headway code base.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Sat, 22 Apr 2017 02:00:05 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:6;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:83:\"WPTavern: HeroPress Partners With WPShout to Offer WordPress Education Scholarships\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=69027\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:94:\"https://wptavern.com/heropress-partners-with-wpshout-to-offer-wordpress-education-scholarships\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3468:\"<p>HeroPress has teamed up with <a href=\"https://alexdenning.com/\">Alex Denning</a>, <a href=\"https://pressupinc.com/\">Fred Meyer, and David Hayes</a> of <a href=\"https://wpshout.com/\">WPShout</a> to offer 10 copies of <a href=\"https://wpshout.com/up-and-running/\">Up and Running Second Edition</a> at the deluxe tier.

The name is a combination of the words checkout and decathlon, according to its creator <a href=\"https://foxland.fi/\" target=\"_blank\">Sami Keijonen</a>.</p>\n<p>Checathlon combines elegant typography with a bold, pink accent color to showcase products and services on a business or e-commerce website. The theme was designed by Finnish designer Toni Suni and is Keijonen&#8217;s 13th theme to be listed in the directory.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/checathlon-screenshot.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>&#8220;I had some kind of vision of what I wanted and Toni created a pixel perfect design based on our discussion,&#8221; Keijonen said. &#8220;I’m super happy about the end result. Unfortunately, the design and the theme was not good enough for WordPress.com and the theme was rejected from there.&#8221; Keijonen opted to create a Checathlon Plus plugin as an alternative way to monetize the theme.</p>\n<p>Checathlon has an intuitive way of organizing the content featured on the front page. Unlike many other themes, the front page is not controlled by a custom page template. Once you set the front page as a static page, the Customizer will give access to the service/pricing, products, testimonial, and blog sections.</p>\n<p>The theme includes support for a Pricing page template and a Team Page template. These features make Checathlon more flexible for use on a business, agency, non-profit, or e-commerce website.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/checathlon-team-page.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>The pricing template has a &#8220;Service and Pricing widget&#8221; area where users can drop in the custom widgets available in the Checathlon Plus plugin. The widgets make it easy for users to set an icon, title, content, price, and a link for each pricing tier, as well as the ability to highlight one tier as featured.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/checathlon-pricing-template.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>Checathlon was built to support several plugins, including <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-digital-downloads/\" target=\"_blank\">Easy Digital Downloads</a>, <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-content-portfolio/\" target=\"_blank\">Custom Content Portfolio</a>, and <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/\" target=\"_blank\">Jetpack</a> (testimonials and portfolio). The theme includes styles for the Jetpack email subscription widget and EDD <a href=\"https://foxland.fi/demo/checathlon/downloads/\" target=\"_blank\">downloads</a> and account pages. It&#8217;s also tagged as <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/review/accessibility/\" target=\"_blank\">accessibility-ready</a>, which means that it has successfully passed an accessibility audit. Check out the <a href=\"https://foxland.fi/demo/checathlon/\" target=\"_blank\">live demo</a> to see Checathlon in action.</p>\n<p>Keijonen is taking a unique approach by creating a <a href=\"https://foxland.fi/downloads/checathlon-plus/\" target=\"_blank\">Checathlon Plus plugin</a> as an alternative to offering a &#8220;pro version&#8221; of the theme. It extends the theme to include more customizer capabilities, additional widgets, cart customization features for EDD, and two child themes. The <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/checathlon/\" target=\"_blank\">free theme</a> is available on WordPress.org and <a href=\"https://foxland.fi/documents/for/checathlon/\" target=\"_blank\">documentation</a> can be found on the theme&#8217;s website.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 21 Apr 2017 16:25:44 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:8;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:62:\"WPTavern: WordPress Plugin Directory Restores Tabbed Interface\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=69139\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:73:\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-plugin-directory-restores-tabbed-interface\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4036:\"<a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/tabs.jpg?ssl=1\"><img /></a>photo credit: <a href=\"https://stocksnap.io/photo/CCRDK5WZEM\">Jeffrey Betts</a>\n<p>Last month the WordPress Plugin Directory <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-relaunches-plugin-directory-with-new-design-and-improved-search-algorithm\" target=\"_blank\">relaunched with a new design</a> and improvements to the search algorithm. The new design replaced the plugin pages&#8217; previous tabbed interface with a wall of text, truncated by numerous &#8220;read more&#8221; links.</p>\n<p>The outpouring of negative community feedback on the new design overshadowed many of the helpful improvements. Removal of the tabs was by far the most unpopular design choice in this iteration, as many found it to be confusing and inferior in terms of navigating the information efficiently. Users, developers, and contributors on the redesign <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-plugin-directory-redesign-why-so-many-people-feel-their-feedback-was-ignored\" target=\"_blank\">felt their feedback was roundly ignored</a> throughout all phases of the design&#8217;s beta and testing period.</p>\n<p>Four months ago, contributor Jon Ang (@kenshino) opened a <a href=\"https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2328\" target=\"_blank\">ticket</a> regarding the &#8220;read more&#8221; links, which he described as &#8220;a usability nightmare.&#8221; The ticket was closed as a duplicate of <a href=\"https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2278\" target=\"_blank\">another ticket</a> which received very little discussion. Today, Otto marked the ticket as fixed, <a href=\"https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5399\" target=\"_blank\">announcing the return of tabs</a> in the commit message:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Change single-plugin view to have tabbed design. Eliminates read-more on all sections except developers and changelog, adds tabs back to interface using CSS to switch between them. Tabs control both main display as well as widgets.</p>\n<p>Known issues: Changelog read-more not working (js issue), developers section is currently split using CSS, future change will split this section into two separate sections.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Members of the Advanced WordPress Facebook (AWP) community, who were among the most critical of the new design, are <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/advancedwp/permalink/1473163646079178/\" target=\"_blank\">pleased with the change</a>. The new tabs are subtle, tasteful, and in line with the overall design. They eliminate the clutter that the expanded &#8220;read more&#8221; links created.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/plugin-page-tabs-restored.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>The Reviews tab now displays six of the most recent reviews, as opposed the the previous two most recent. This makes it not as easy to destroy a plugin&#8217;s reputation with poor reviews timed to always be visible on the main plugin page. Otto <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/advancedwp/permalink/1473163646079178/?comment_id=1473175582744651&reply_comment_id=1473218756073667&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R3%22%7D\" target=\"_blank\">replied</a> to comments on the AWP community, saying that these numbers are not set in stone and that there are good arguments for displaying different sets of reviews, as opposed to simply the most recent ones.</p>\n<p>Two weeks ago the meta team <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-plugin-directory-restores-stats-and-links-to-older-versions-of-plugins\" target=\"_blank\">brought back stats and older versions of plugins</a>, a couple of features that were removed in the first iteration of the new directory. Screenshot display is still somewhat clunky, requiring users to click on their browsers&#8217; back button in order to return to the plugin details. Future iterations of the design are expected to address the remaining quirks and issues that users and contributors have raised since the relaunch.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 20 Apr 2017 21:46:39 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:9;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:41:\"WPTavern: WordPress 4.7.4 Fixes 47 Issues\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=69141\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:104:\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-4-7-4-fixes-visual-editor-incompatibility-with-upcoming-version-of-chrome\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1182:\"<p>WordPress 4.7.4 <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2017/04/wordpress-4-7-4/\">is available</a> and is a maintenance release that fixes 47 issues reported against 4.7. This update includes a visual editor <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/40305\">compatibility fix</a> for an upcoming version of Chrome.</p>\n<p>Uploading video and audio files no longer result in <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/40075\">broken thumbnails</a> and the REST API received a few enhancements related to <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39854\">data</a> <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/40136\">handling</a>.

It actually went live two weeks ago, but I wanted to give it time to work out any kinks before broadly promoting it.</p>\n<p>Now, I think we&#8217;re ready for prime time. So, why do we need another place to list WordPress jobs?</p>\n<p>The signal to noise ratio &#8212; both for employers seeking qualified candidates, and for candidates finding quality job listings &#8212; is pretty low across the board in the job market. Most people who hire technical professionals will tell you that it&#8217;s very difficult to find good candidates. And anyone seeking great job opportunities knows how hard it can be to find out the best opportunities, especially at the times you&#8217;re actually looking.</p>\n<p>The goal for the Post Status WordPress job board is to take advantage of both sides of this equation.</p>\n<p>Post Status isn&#8217;t a huge website with tons of traffic. But the traffic I do get is from a highly targeted audience of primarily WordPress professionals, or web professionals who use WordPress as a primary tool.</p>\n<p>By creating a highly targeted job board, I&#8217;m able to increase the signal on both sides; employers can get quality applications, and applicants can find quality employers.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, our team &#8212; meaning <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/profiles/katie-richards/\">Katie Richards</a>, and myself &#8212; go through each employer&#8217;s listing to confirm that it&#8217;s a qualified listing of someone actually hiring, provides relevant information, and is properly described for the available position.</p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve already got 20+ jobs and counting, and I know many of them have had applications start to roll in, even without public announcement yet.</p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to submit a job, the process is currently only for Post Status <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/club\">members</a>. We may open that up in the coming weeks, but for now, you can join and post, or if someone from your organization is a member, they can post it.</p>\n<p>Listings last for 45 days (the first listings are being extended out starting today), and will be marketed to the Post Status Club &#8212; now over 900 WordPress professionals &#8212; as well as the free Post Status <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/newsletter\">newsletter</a>, where we&#8217;ll send digests of new jobs.</p>\n<p>In the future, we may create new features for job seekers to keep an even closer eye on available jobs, but for now, the email and listing page are the place to go. And we may build new tools for employers as we get feedback and see demand for them.</p>\n<p>I look forward to this being a valuable resource for the WordPress community. We&#8217;re dedicated to making it work well for a long haul, and we expect general activity to increase as the word gets out that it&#8217;s there.</p>\n<p>So, if you don&#8217;t mind, we&#8217;d love your help to promote this job board, both now and when you hear of companies hiring and people seeking positions. It is a truly great feeling to know that you helped someone find their next workplace.</p>\n<p>So, check out some <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/jobs\">WordPress jobs</a>!</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 20 Apr 2017 13:35:19 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:15:\"Brian Krogsgard\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:12;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:89:\"WPTavern: WordCamp Europe 2017 Announces Speakers, Opens Registration for Contributor Day\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=69083\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:99:\"https://wptavern.com/wordcamp-europe-2017-announces-speakers-opens-registration-for-contributor-day\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2015:\"<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/wordcamp-europe-2017.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://2017.europe.wordcamp.org/\" target=\"_blank\">WordCamp Europe 2017</a> has been rolling out <a href=\"https://2017.europe.wordcamp.org/speakers/\" target=\"_blank\">speaker</a> announcements over the past week, slowly building what appears to be a strong lineup of both European and international WordPress experts.

This year the survey received feedback from 302 respondents in 61 different countries, a 43% increase in responses from 2015. The top five countries represented in the survey include the United States (27.15%), India (7.62%), United Kingdom (6.95%), Germany (6.29%), and Canada (3.64%). English remains the most popular language for BuddyPress sites at nearly 70% and this year Spanish (10.7%) replaced French for the #2 spot, followed by German (9.96%).</p>\n<p>A new question in the 2016 survey asked users what PHP versions their sites are on. More than 53% of respondents report having sites on PHP 7.0+ and 63% are using a version higher than 5.6+.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/buddypress-php-2016.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>Lead developer Paul Gibbs sees these results as an affirmation that the BuddyPress core leadership made the right decision when dropping support for PHP 5.2 nine months ago.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We (<a href=\"https://twitter.com/buddypress\">@buddypress</a>) made the right call 9 months ago to drop support for PHP 5.2 in our last major release.</p>\n<p>&mdash; Paul Gibbs (@pgibbs) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/pgibbs/status/849399725707202562\">April 4, 2017</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">In fact, our 2016 users survey <a href=\"https://t.co/1LClEoOr38\">https://t.co/1LClEoOr38</a> suggests 88% of respondents use PHP &gt;5.6, maybe we can be more aggressive this year.</p>\n<p>&mdash; Paul Gibbs (@pgibbs) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/pgibbs/status/849399973649276931\">April 4, 2017</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<p>Gibbs is currently on a sabbatical from BuddyPress and was not available for comment. Project lead John James Jacoby said that the decision to drop support for PHP 5.2 may not be a direct corollary to its usage falling below 1%, but the core team will continue to bump the minimum version in the future with consideration for user happiness.</p>\n<p>&#8220;It’s hard to know whether increasing our minimum PHP version made any direct difference,&#8221; Jacoby said. &#8220;My hunch is most users do not care very much, and the ones that do, care greatly. It’s all about keeping users happy – sometimes that means maintaining compatibility with old dependencies; other times it means kindly motivating users to upgrade things maybe they haven’t thought about in a while.&#8221;</p>\n<p>The 2016 results show that 45% of respondents have been using BuddyPress for a year or less. While this isn&#8217;t necessarily an indication of users&#8217; ability, it is interesting in light of the project&#8217;s recent shift to focus on developers and site builders. The survey results indicate that more users identify themselves as a beginner when it comes to knowledge of BuddyPress themes and hooks.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/buddypress-knowledge.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>BuddyPress core developers made the decision to focus on site builders and developers based on how they saw the project&#8217;s user base changing over time. Making the software 100% turnkey is no longer one of their chief objectives. With the high percentage of users who identify as beginners, the project will need to find a way to get them connected and advancing in their BuddyPress knowledge.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The <a href=\"https://buddypress.org/support/\" target=\"_blank\">BuddyPress.org community forums</a> continue to be the best place to get connected with other users to talk about what they’re working on,&#8221; Jacoby said. &#8220;Our documentation coverage in the codex is constantly being maintained, and we’re still working behind the scenes on a developer site ala <a href=\"https://developer.wordpress.org/\" target=\"_blank\">developer.wordpress.org</a>. Nothing will ever beat reading the code from inside a quality code-editor, but having public visibility into the codebase is good for everyone, too.&#8221;</p>\n<p>April 30, 2017, marks the 8th anniversary of the first stable release of BuddyPress. Version 3.0 will be released this year and contributors are working towards adding a new template pack and improving the BP REST API, in addition to other new features based on comments from the survey.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The primary focus of BuddyPress for 3.0 and beyond (in addition to being a great foundation for developers) should be to improve member management and communications inside your WordPress,&#8221; Jacoby said. &#8220;The latest and greatest versions of PHP don’t necessarily help us with those things directly, but the performance improvements of running BuddyPress on PHP 7.0 or 7.1 are impressive, enough to continue aggressively bumping our minimum required and recommended versions to keep users happy and safe.&#8221;</p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https://buddypress.org/2017/04/2016-buddypress-survey-results/\" target=\"_blank\">summary of the 2016 survey results</a> was published to the BuddyPress.org blog and the <a href=\"https://mercime.github.io/BuddyPress-2016-survey-results/\" target=\"_blank\">full results</a> are available on GitHub, along with comments from respondents.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 19 Apr 2017 19:43:50 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:15;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:94:\"WPTavern: New WordPress Plugin Shows Users Where a Plugin’s Settings Link Is Upon Activation\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=68829\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:102:\"https://wptavern.com/new-wordpress-plugin-shows-users-where-a-plugins-settings-link-is-upon-activation\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2288:\"<p>A common frustration I&#8217;ve experienced in WordPress after installing a plugin is figuring out where the settings link is located. It can be a top-level menu item or tucked away in a sub-menu. Sometimes, the plugin doesn&#8217;t warrant a settings link.</p>\n<p>A new plugin called <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/show-plugin-menu-items-on-activation/\">Show Plugin Menu Items on Activation</a> created by <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/kellenmace\">Kellen Mace</a> and <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/binarygary\">Gary Kovar</a> seeks to calm the chaos. When a plugin is activated, an Admin Notice is displayed that informs the user where to configure it.</p>\n<img />Where to Find Akismet&#8217;s Settings\n<p>The notice can be dismissed by either clicking the dismiss button or hovering over the menu location. The notice does not display for plugins that include a welcome page or wizard such as BuddyPress and WooCommerce.</p>\n<p>The number of admin pointers that are displayed depends on the number of menu items that are added. For example, if a plugin adds three menu items, three admin pointers are displayed.</p>\n<p>When four or more menu items are added, a notice is shown at the top of the screen that says, &#8216;Many new plugin menu items were added.&#8217; If no menu items are added, a notice displays at the top of the screen that says, &#8216;No new plugin menu items were added.&#8217;</p>\n<p>I tested the plugin on WordPress 4.7.3 and didn&#8217;t encounter any issues. Although plugins ought to make finding the settings link easier upon activation, this particular plugin has me wondering if displaying these types of admin notices should be a core feature. In my experience, plugin authors rarely take advantage of admin pointers to explain where to go or what to do next after being activated.</p>\n<p>Related to the above, I encourage plugin developers to <a href=\"https://hugh.blog/2012/07/27/wordpress-add-plugin-settings-link-to-plugins-page/\">read this article </a>by Hugh Lashbrooke, that explains how to add a settings link to the plugins listing page.

To be honest, I was not one of the children or teenagers who knew what they wanted to become when they grow up. And to stay honest, I still don’t know exactly to this day.</p>\n<p>After school I got advised to start working for the government; jobs are well paid and stressless. But considering my tasks, I did not have the feeling that there was any particular skill or performance needed to get them done, nor was there any desirable achievement in the years to come.</p>\n<p>In the following 12 years, I switched administrations and ministries, trying to find more fulfillment and happiness in what I was doing during the day. But sooner or later the daily routine made me feel very miserable and frustrated. I started to realize that though I still did not know what I wanted to become, I knew exactly what I did not want to do anymore: sitting in an office from nine to five, doing the same administrative work, day after day, without any motivation, without any personal goal. There must be more in life for me!?</p>\n<p>My husband, <a href=\"https://twitter.com/schlessera\">Alain Schlesser</a>, at that point also a government agent, was fed up as well and decided to quit his job and start freelancing as a web developer focussing on WordPress &#8211; so at least one of us had a specific goal.</p>\n<h3>Getting Out</h3>\n<p>In summer of 2014 I opted for a four year sabbatical, we sold everything we owned in Luxembourg and moved to the German “Eifel” quite into the middle of nowhere together with our three french bulldogs Jasper, Duke, and Indra. I did not have the slightest idea of where my personal journey would lead me in the end, but I had the feeling that it was time to take better care of myself.</p>\n<p>First, I started studies as a dog health &amp; behavior trainer, which I completed successfully. After the studies, I got sick and depressed. I gained more and more weight, was constantly dealing with all sorts of aches and had severe doubts about what the future might bring to me. And the more I doubted, the less productive I got.</p>\n<p>In summer of 2015 I got the diagnosis that I was suffering from lipedema &#8211; a chronically progressive disease which is basically a very painful fat disorder, that almost exclusively affects women. I decided to completely change my life and focus on my mental and physical health.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, my husband was working hard to achieve his personal goals. At that point I did not have a very clear idea of what he was actually doing during the day, nor was I interested in any details.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I had nothing to do with the web or computers in general, except for Google, Facebook and writing emails.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Coding, programming, developing, those were foreign words to me. A few years back, I had started two blogs on wordpress.com where I shared my dogs’ stories and my experiences during my studies &#8211; that was the only knowledge I had about Alain’s new world &#8211; and about WordPress. Today I agree that these were hard times for us: we spent 24 hours together in the same house but we did not have much to share anymore: I had locked myself out of the life my husband was leading during the day due to a lack of interest and knowledge on one side, and fears on the other.</p>\n<h3>Finding WordPress</h3>\n<p>I entered the world of WordPress because Alain invited me to join him in a trip to WordCamp Europe 2016 in Vienna. Despite looking forward to exploring a new city and do some shopping, I had no expectations of what I was going to experience in Vienna. To be honest,  I was scared of meeting the &#8220;nerdy&#8221; part of my husband&#8217;s life and of not being able to get involved in it &#8211; again. However, what happened in Vienna was totally unexpected and overwhelming for me: I met hundreds of open-minded, interesting, welcoming, friendly and helpful people who were interested in what I had to share with them, although I was not involved at all in WordPress or the community so far.</p>\n<p>I probably had the most inspiring discussions I’ve ever had in my life and one of the funniest and joyful weeks too. There were more than two thousand people, and nobody (!) made me feel uncomfortable, ignorant or out of place.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I have never experienced such an unconditionally welcoming atmosphere before &#8211; and I noticed that I truly wanted to be a part of that amazing community in the future.</p></blockquote>\n<p>To be honest, I actually had withdrawal symptoms once we were back home. I got very active in following up and my Twitter account, which I had registered years ago without ever having tweeted before, suddenly got filled up with WordPress people.</p>\n<h3>Diving Deeper</h3>\n<p><a href=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_8361-min.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1705\" src=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_8361-min-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Carole, Alain, and dogs\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>Only a few days after being back in Germany I started to organize trips to other WordCamps, and in September of 2016 Alain and I traveled together with our three dogs to <a href=\"https://2016.frankfurt.wordcamp.org/\">WordCamp Frankfurt</a> (Germany) &#8211; both of us as volunteers, and Alain as a speaker too.</p>\n<p>Volunteering felt excellent and right, and we got in touch with the German WordPress Community for the first time. Alain’s talk was a success, and the German community adopted our entire family immediately; we loved seeing our dogs getting spoiled with hugs and treats.</p>\n<p>In October of 2016 we joined <a href=\"https://2016.netherlands.wordcamp.org/\">WordCamp Netherlands</a> in Utrecht where we once again met interesting and friendly people. Another premiere for me: “How WordPress Saved My Life” by <a href=\"https://twitter.com/WordNerdSally\">Sally Mayor</a> was the first talk I ever chose to see at a WordCamp. As you can imagine by reading the title, this was totally inspiring to me.</p>\n<p>Just as with the previous WordCamps, Alain and I hardly spent any time on our own: hospitable organizers, volunteers, speakers, and attendees surrounded us and insisted on showing us the best spots and restaurants in town.</p>\n<p>Two weeks later, we visited <a href=\"https://2016.cologne.wordcamp.org/\">WordCamp Cologne</a> (Germany) where we looked forward to seeing some of the lovely people we met two months before at WordCamp Frankfurt. I helped out at the registration desk, as I did in Frankfurt &#8211; definitely one of the best opportunities to get in touch with the community.</p>\n<p>At that point, I also took part in my first “Contributor Day”. I participated in the Polyglots team as well as in the Community team, as these don’t require technical knowledge.</p>\n<blockquote><p>At the end of the day, I had localized one free theme into German (which was committed the same day) and joined the discussions for organizing a new type of WordCamp.</p></blockquote>\n<p>As I was more interested in contributing to the community part, I joined Slack and was again diligent in following up. I wanted to become an active part of this community and help create and maintain the welcoming atmosphere I have experienced myself. It worked out very well: I am now a member of the organizing team for a very special German WordCamp with a unique and new concept, to happen in 2018.</p>\n<h3>New Wapuu</h3>\n<p><a href=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Collage-min.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1707\" src=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Collage-min-300x226.jpg\" alt=\"Wabully with a real French Bulldog\" width=\"300\" height=\"226\" /></a>Another idea was born at WordCamp Cologne: designing a Wapuu with the characteristics of a french bulldog. Meanwhile, our dogs had become an integral part of the German community, who considers our frenchies as the unofficial mascots. Said and done &#8211; by channeling designer skills that I did not even know about, I created the <a href=\"https://wapu.us/wapuu/wabully/\">“Wabully”</a>. Jasper, our nine-year-old male frenchie was the template.</p>\n<h3>Taking Control of Life</h3>\n<p><a href=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/before_after-min.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1708\" src=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/before_after-min-203x300.jpg\" alt=\"Before and after a health change\" width=\"203\" height=\"300\" /></a>Besides all the positive and inspiring input for my brain, I took good care of my physical health too. I continued losing weight due to healthy and fresh nutrition, and my fitness level increased because I was doing sports again. My lipedema therapy &#8211; including two surgeries &#8211; was very successful and so my physical and mental health got better and better. In 18 months I managed to lose almost seventy pounds. I was actively taking control of my life again.</p>\n<p>In November of 2016 Alain and I joined our first <a href=\"https://www.meetup.com/WordPress-Meetup-Koln/\">WordPress Meetup in Cologne</a>. <a href=\"https://twitter.com/ocean90\">Dominik Schilling</a> was sharing his experience during his WordPress 4.6 release lead. I noticed that all this “WordPress-stuff” was not so strange to me anymore; I managed to follow most of Dominik’s testimonies &#8211; and it was interesting to me through the entire talk.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I realized that WordPress was not a mystery to me anymore and that discussions at home must have changed a lot in the past months.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Now I knew the people Alain was talking about, I understood most of the projects and concepts he was referring to, and I was not bored anymore when he was talking about his current development issues.</p>\n<p>I encouraged Alain to book a trip to Philadelphia in December of 2016 to attend <a href=\"https://2016.us.wordcamp.org/\">WordCamp US</a> &#8211; an amazing, precious and fruitful experience for him. Unfortunately, I could not join him because of surgery. I admit that I was a bit jealous at that point, but I (rightfully) had a hunch that this trip could be important for my husband and his professional future.</p>\n<p>By coincidence, the only talk I saw online at WordCamp US was <a href=\"https://twitter.com/topher1kenobe\">Topher DeRosia’s</a> presentation of “HeroPress &#8211; The People of WordPress” which was totally inspiring to me. At that point, I would never have imagined that a few weeks later he’d find me and ask me to write an essay for HeroPress&#8230;</p>\n<h3>Using My Powers For Good</h3>\n<p>Earlier that year in spring, I had created a Facebook group for lipedema affected women in Luxembourg together with a friend. Lipedema is largely unknown in Luxembourg and often misdiagnosed as simple obesity. There is almost no help for affected women in my country of birth. I was indeed very lucky having moved to Germany, where the specialists in lipedema diagnosis and treatment are located; otherwise, I would probably not have been diagnosed and treated correctly up until now.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Inspired by my personal success and the growth of our Facebook group I decided, in January of 2017, to fight for a change in Luxembourg together with other lipedema patients.</p></blockquote>\n<p>We have been very active in educational work and we built a significant presence in Luxembourgish media in the past few weeks. The feedback was enormous and we founded a nonprofit association. I knew it would be very useful to create a website to reach more affected women, doctors, and other interested people.</p>\n<p>I accepted the challenge and decided to set up a WordPress site. Alain built a theme according to my ideas and I successfully completed my very first plugin installations &#8211; most importantly for me a page builder called Beaver Builder. I had never imagined how easy, fun and fulfilling building of a website could be! With almost no skills and within a period of seven days only I managed to create lots of valuable content with a nice structure. I admit that living under the same roof with a devoted and passionate developer made some things easier for me.</p>\n<blockquote><p>But besides that, I began to understand what makes WordPress so special: everybody who has something to share is given the possibility to do so by WordPress.</p></blockquote>\n<p>If I managed to do that, why wouldn’t you? There are plenty of possibilities to help you build your website, blog or business &#8211; use them! And many fantastic WordPress people offer their support, contribute every single day to improve the software and to make it accessible for everybody out there. And some specialists offer great courses for absolute beginners like I am, to help them improving their skills.</p>\n<p>We have reached many lipedema patients through my website “<a href=\"https://www.lipoedem.lu/\">Lipödem Lëtzebuerg</a>”, who thank us every day for our commitment as so-called lipedema fighters. I am so happy that lipedema is now a topic of discussion in Luxembourg, which is not only a consequence of our devotion but also due to WordPress allowing me to build a website in a very short amount of time, and with almost no skills. Meanwhile, in collaboration with the National Patients Representation, we have formulated concrete demands concerning diagnosis and therapy to the Luxembourgish Government.</p>\n<p>I am overwhelmed and happy to see how much attention and gratefulness my work and website have earned. It fulfills me in a way that I had not experienced in the past 12 years during my well-paid job.</p>\n<h3>Making a Living</h3>\n<p>It turned out that my enthusiasm and content writing skills were noticed by the CEO of a startup in Luxembourg. I got a remote job offer for writing and managing content on their WordPress website and for being a part of the social media team. We are currently testing a possible cooperation, and I have already been writing some of the content for their website.</p>\n<p>Furthermore I got contacted to work on the elaboration and social media spreading processes of an important lipedema study in Germany as well.</p>\n<p>I was not even actively searching for a job and the offers come rolling in nevertheless &#8211; what an amazing new experience!</p>\n<p>At the same time, I was busy in the last months for the WordPress community:</p>\n<p>As member of an organizing team, I was in charge of finding the perfect location for a WordCamp in 2018. Together with some of my colleagues I have visited some excellent sites in Germany, and I am leading the negotiations.</p>\n<p>Alain and I joined the first German contributor night in Cologne, which was both productive and fun. I proudly presented my very first results of crocheting, which I started in-between my surgeries as a pastime while I needed to stay in bed:</p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\" width=\"50%\"><a href=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_8774-min.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1709\" src=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_8774-min-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Small yellow crocheted wapuu\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a></td>\n<td align=\"center\" width=\"50%\"><a href=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_9310-min.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1710\" src=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_9310-min-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Crocheted Wabully\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a></td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p><span>In February of 2017 Alain and I have been asked </span><span>by </span><a href=\"https://twitter.com/BirgitOlzem\"><span>Birgit Olzem</span></a><span> to be part of the organizing team of the </span><a href=\"http://www.wpmeetup-eifel.de/\"><span>WordPress Meetup Eifel</span></a><span>, which we </span><span>both were delighted to accept</span><span>. </span><span>The first Meetup organized by the new team of three will happen at the end of April.</span></p>\n<p>In March of 2017 we flew to <a href=\"https://2017.london.wordcamp.org/\">WordCamp London</a>. We were both volunteering and I feel honored that I was part of an outstanding team which made every possible effort to organize a welcoming and amazing event for every single attendee. In terms of inclusivity and accessibility, WordCamp London set high standards: there has been a lactation room, a crèche, a multi-faith room, a quiet room, live transcription of the talks, life essential boxes in women’s and men’s restrooms. Almost every area was accessible to wheelchairs &#8211; with volunteers designated to help in the few spots that weren’t. We had a lovely and inspiring time there and I have yet to follow up with everyone. It makes me feel like my family grows with every WordCamp.</p>\n<p>Last but not least I want to share that I submitted a lightning talk proposal to <a href=\"https://2017.europe.wordcamp.org/\">WordCamp Europe 2017</a> in Paris. It took all of my courage, but I was feeling so honored and inspired by Topher&#8217;s request to write an essay for HeroPress that I realized there might be a story which deserves to be told. I was so proud to have applied as a speaker that it wouldn&#8217;t even matter in the end whether my talk is accepted or not.</p>\n<p>Alain has applied as speaker as well, and we will both help as volunteers again. I can’t wait to be part of this big event. I look forward to seeing friends and meeting new people. It will be my one-year anniversary of being part of the WordPress community &#8211; a year with lots of positive changes and inspiration.</p>\n<p><span>In the end, my talk proposal for WordCamp Europe has not been selected. Of course, I felt a bit sad about this. Even if I was aware that there had been over 300 applications for more or less 40 spots, I had some kind of feeling of having “failed” on my first try… But after having slept on it, I soon got over my deception and I was pleased for Alain for having reached a milestone: his talk proposal got accepted.</span></p>\n<p><span>And most importantly, I decided not to let this discourage me from applying as a speaker again. There are other WordCamps and all things happen for a good reason: I was pondering for weeks if I should attend </span><a href=\"https://2017.berlin.wordcamp.org/\"><b>WordCamp Berlin</b></a><span> or not. I love the community, I love the city but Alain already had other plans. Said and done &#8211; I booked a hotel, bought my ticket, applied as a volunteer and submitted my talk proposal, slightly modified and in German. This time my lightning talk got accepted and I will be a speaker for the very first time at WordCamp Berlin on the 13th of May &#8211; I am more than excited about it. Alain’s plans were changing so that he’s now able to join me with our dogs on my trip to Berlin.</span></p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thanks for joining me in the more \"nerdy\" part of my life, <a href=\"https://twitter.com/CaroleOlinger\">@CaroleOlinger</a> ! <a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/WCFRA?src=hash\">#WCFRA</a> <a href=\"https://t.co/VuTHtW3EkP\">pic.twitter.com/VuTHtW3EkP</a></p>\n<p>&mdash; Alain Schlesser (@schlessera) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/schlessera/status/772411090672156672\">September 4, 2016</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<p>I hope that I can give something back to the WordPress community with what I’m doing. I am a true WordPress community lover by now. I would like to encourage the people out there to use WordPress &#8211; especially when they think they don’t have enough skills to build a website. There is no such a thing as “I can’t do this.” &#8211; Yes, you can! As long as you have something to share with the world, or a business idea or any other motivation that drives you &#8211; just spread it. WordPress gives you the opportunity to be whoever you want to be and to give yourself a voice.</p>\n<h3>WordPress Is For You, No Matter Who You Are</h3>\n<p>Furthermore I would love to see every WordPress user, blogger, developer, programmer, designer &#8211; and even more so their respective partners &#8211; joining the nearest WordCamp (or Meetup) and meeting the amazing WordPress community! Especially when you haven’t done this so far. You’ll be able to find inspiration and friends, develop unknown personal skills, gain new perspectives on your job or life and, in any case, learn a lot, just like I did. And last but not least &#8211; it can even bring your relationship to a whole new level.</p>\n<p>I still have no idea where my personal journey will lead me in the end but I have this growing feeling that WordPress could be an integral part of my life. Fortunately, it is already a part of me.</p>\n<div class=\"rtsocial-container rtsocial-container-align-right rtsocial-horizontal\"><div class=\"rtsocial-twitter-horizontal\"><div class=\"rtsocial-twitter-horizontal-button\"><a title=\"Tweet: The Only Journey Is The One Within\" class=\"rtsocial-twitter-button\" href=\"https://twitter.com/share?text=The%20Only%20Journey%20Is%20The%20One%20Within&via=heropress&url=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fjourney-one-within%2F\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"></a></div></div><div class=\"rtsocial-fb-horizontal fb-light\"><div class=\"rtsocial-fb-horizontal-button\"><a title=\"Like: The Only Journey Is The One Within\" class=\"rtsocial-fb-button rtsocial-fb-like-light\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fjourney-one-within%2F\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"></a></div></div><div class=\"rtsocial-linkedin-horizontal\"><div class=\"rtsocial-linkedin-horizontal-button\"><a class=\"rtsocial-linkedin-button\" href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fjourney-one-within%2F&title=The+Only+Journey+Is+The+One+Within\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share: The Only Journey Is The One Within\"></a></div></div><div class=\"rtsocial-pinterest-horizontal\"><div class=\"rtsocial-pinterest-horizontal-button\"><a class=\"rtsocial-pinterest-button\" href=\"https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://heropress.com/essays/journey-one-within/&media=https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/041917-min-150x150.jpg&description=The Only Journey Is The One Within\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pin: The Only Journey Is The One Within\"></a></div></div><a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"perma-link\" href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/journey-one-within/\" title=\"The Only Journey Is The One Within\"></a></div><p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/journey-one-within/\">The Only Journey Is The One Within</a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://heropress.com\">HeroPress</a>.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 19 Apr 2017 05:00:18 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:14:\"Carole Olinger\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:17;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:80:\"WPTavern: Open Collective is a New, Transparent Way to Fund Open Source Projects\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=68528\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:90:\"https://wptavern.com/open-collective-is-a-new-transparent-way-to-fund-open-source-projects\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:8728:\"<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/open-collective.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://opencollective.com\" target=\"_blank\">Open Collective</a> is a new service that aims to make it easy for individuals, groups, and organizations to raise money in a transparent way. Although many projects have communities ready to offer financial support, the paperwork, taxes, and accounting involved in collecting money under the proper legal entity can be a nearly insurmountable hurdle.</p>\n<p>&#8220;So far, the Internet has been very good at helping people do things together,&#8221; Open Collective co-founder Xavier Damman said. &#8220;But once it involves money, there is no good solution. Creating a new legal entity is too much overhead, too early. What if we could create a virtual entity that can collect money as easily as creating a Facebook Group?&#8221;</p>\n<p>Open Collective was created to eliminate the need for setting up a legal entity in order to raise funds. Groups can set up a collective and begin managing their funds immediately. The two key differentiators of the platform are the ability to raise money recurrently and the built-in transparency. Members of the collective must approve or reject an expense before the money can be used. Unpaid expenses and available funds can be viewed by the public.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/ledger-screen.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>Open Collective currently has 228 active collectives and <a href=\"https://opencollective.com/opensource\" target=\"_blank\">196 of them are open source projects</a>.
