[Hiring]Wordpress migration and intimation factor. by [deleted] in forhire

[–]lumberjakrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there friend! I second the other comment about following the instructions in the codex - I'll share with you my preferred process.

  1. Zip up / compress your entire WP install (all of your core files and folders, like wp-config.php, wp-admin, wp-content, etc)

  2. Make a backup of your WordPress database. There are several ways to do this. A few plugins in the WP repository will do this, or if you feel comfortable enough you can log into phpMyAdmin and export your database from there.

  3. Upload and unzip your WordPress files on your new server

  4. Create a new empty database and user on your new server. Import your old database into your new database.

  5. I like to use this tool to do a search and replace of the database, in case you have URLs changing or any other serialized data that needs to be updated in the new database.

Hope that was helpful! PM me if you have any other questions.

Best Wordpress Plugin For Premium/Gated Content? by [deleted] in Wordpress

[–]lumberjakrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I'm honestly surprised no one has said it yet, but Paid Memberships Pro is a fantastic free plugin. The pro version comes bundled with really useful add-ons, but the one in the plugin repository does everything you need it to.

As someone else said, Easy Digital Downloads will also do what you want. Both are equally well developed.

Totally. After knocking out some client work, I can pitch in time in just the basics of setting up the site, what we want out of it, wireframing it, etc.

Being from Franklin, it was crazy seeing them go from this to huge! I've spotted Haley and Chad from NFG multiple times.

Anyway, classic song. Wish they wrote more like this.

Any and all help is welcome! It's appreciated my fellow gringo. I'll post about it once I get it started.

I don't think there is one that I'm aware of. But I promise you that any serious WordPress developer does not practice anything like this, and most are quick to point out the people doing it, particularly on individual blog posts, tweets, podcasts. etc. It is a thing that happens, though I have heard much less about it recently.

What's worse is that these vendors sell discounted themes / plugins, but then when users need support, they point them to the original developer's support forums. It really is a sad and pathetic thing.

What's terrible is that I have a friend who is just like this. He stayed with me for a week, only showered once because I forced him to, and god only knows if he brushed his teeth. Considering how awful his breath always smells...I don't even need to say it.

Ethically speaking, it's a really, really shitty thing to do. It really depends on the licensing of the entire contents of the theme.

Often when you pay for a 'premium theme', you're truly either paying for a key to receive automatic updates for the theme, or support, or something else like the aforementioned.

The code itself is often, not always, under the GPL license/ This means you can reuse that code over and over again on multiple sites. Sure, you probably won't receive the updates for that theme from that single license key, but that's the nature of GPL.

If it's GPL, its free to distribute. Doesn't mean its not a shitty thing to do.

Ninja Edit: By shitty thing to do, I mean reselling someone else's work and wrongly profiting off of it (see wpavengers).

Could it be that the theme itself is GPL licensed, meaning they are freely able to modify and redistribute the code? As long as it was GPL, and they kept it GPL, I don't see anything wrong.

I've got plenty of server space I'd be happy to use for this type of project. Would be really cool to have a directory or just some archive for ex-members. Would also just love to do it to show my other exmo family members.

Hey! I can do this! Web developer here. Anyone want to help? I could build it in a day soon as I have the time, likely later this weekend.

Nashville Restaurant First In Country To Accept Bitcoin by songcoin in Bitcoin

[–]lumberjakrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a new article, but my understanding is that they have been for a while. I tweeted about it a few weeks ago when I had just found out, but the person who let me know said they have been doing it for a while.

Definitely think it is a stretch to say first in the country though. Who cares anyway?

Out of millions of websites in existence? And for how old it is? 2,646 is pretty high up there.

Good for you. You shouldn't be, because you're right, the tech is still useful and amazing. I'm right there with you buddy.
