If your website is down, showing just a white screen or a security certificate error – then you need to fix that fast. Every day (hour!) is costing you money.
So how do you go about fixing a broken site?
Let’s get started…

Have you had ‘that’ email from Clickbank? Things have changed, and despite years of happily selling your product, suddenly it’s no longer welcome..?
It sucks. But it’s not the end of the world.
Or maybe you just want a platform that’s easier to work with.
There are good alternatives available for vendors which should have you up and running in no time.
Note: I should point out that if your product got kicked for being garbage with really high refund rates, then you really need to improve your product. This is really for those caught in the crossfire when policies change and a cull hits. Continue reading “List Of Clickbank Alternatives For Vendors (2022)”
Most WordPress sites rely heavily on setting a featured image. These are typically displayed at the top of the post itself. And are also used in navigational areas such as category pages.
Depending on the theme you are using or the plugins installed, featured images may also appear in image sliders or lists of related posts.
In short, unless your blog is deliberately very text based, featured images are important. Continue reading “Generating Random Featured Images In WordPress”
Short and sweet – you don’t want your custom Twenty Sixteen theme using bloated old Google Fonts?
Simply add this function to the functions.php of your child theme.
function twentysixteen_fonts_url() {
$fonts_url = '';
return $fonts_url;
}Don’t wrap it in an if ( ! function_exists( ‘twentysixteen_fonts_url’ ) ) because you’re overriding the function from the main theme. It does exist, and you want to override it. Continue reading “How To Remove Google Fonts From The Twenty Sixteen WordPress Theme”
Sometimes you just have to create those Rich Snippet breadcrumbs in HTML manually. And it’s a total pain to do. Especially if you’re not even sure where to start editing to create the next one.
So now you can use our nice and easy Breadcrumb Builder Tool.
It caters for both Microformat and RDFa output (stick to the default of Microformat if you’re not sure what either of those mean). It also copes with ‘multiple trails’, i.e. pages that have more than one heirarchy to reach them, e.g. Books > Authors > C.S.Lewis, and Books > Children > Classics.

If you care about how many people see, and engage with your Facebook posts – then you need to know when to post to that particular page.
Don’t trust blanket rules of ‘most readers are online and responsive between 10am – 11am’.
That may be true for certain groups of people, but many groups have totally different habits. It’s easy to see why a page targeted to Human Resources and recruitment might peak somewhere between 9-5, but a page targeting night shift workers won’t — because they’ll be asleep!

Starting today Gmail emails will now show images by default.
This applies to all emails — not just trusted senders, particular mailboxes or those for whom you’ve already clicked ‘Always display images from’.
So inboxes are about to become a whole lot more colourful.

The related posts plugin ‘YARPP’ from Mitcho is a fine piece of work, and worth supporting.
But as with many WordPress plugins, sooner or later you come across something you need to do with it that the author hasn’t considered yet, or had time to add, or been nagged enough to provide 😉
And so we found ourselves on a project wanting to exclude certain posts from displaying any related posts. Continue reading “YARPP: How To Exclude Posts Or Categories”
If you occasionally use one of the Kindle reading Apps (e.g. to read Kindle books on your PC) you may have been welcomed by the friendly message saying:-
“This version of the kindle reader has expired and cannot be used.”
And your only option is to ‘OK’ the error and get dumped out of the reader application.
Not the best design from Amazon there then… so how do we fix this? Continue reading ““This version of the kindle reader has expired…” & How To Fix It!”
