<p>On the one hand, I read Tom&#8217;s post and come away thinking that everyone should just shut up and stare at the sign that says <strong>Patches Welcome</strong> which at times, appears to be the answer to any form of criticism or discussion about WordPress. On the other, I see the point of being more civil towards one another when disagreements or engagement occurs. This thing we call the WordPress community does an excellent job of policing itself but a quick Google search shows that at times, we certainly eat our own for lunch. I can see how this public display of back and forth fighting could turn off a lot of people from contributing to WordPress much less be a part of that circle.</p>
<p>In Tom&#8217;s article, Jake Goldman of WordPress consulting firm <a href="http://10up.com/" title="http://10up.com/">10up</a> left this great comment:</p>
<blockquote><p>Any large, enthusiastic community is going to have louder, more opinionated voices, and softer “never offend” voices. And even those of us that generally strive to be loud only when the subject seems in need of broader discussion, sometimes err in how we communicate (I know I regret the way I framed a point about business and WordCamps that was, ironically, sensationalized here).</p>
<p>Follow any large audience – Android fans, UX groups, Joomla communities – and you’ll find the same characteristics. It’s a sign that we’re passionate, diverse, and engaging. And human!</p>
<p>No one would argue that calmer, more professional dialog is a bad thing. IMHO, lets just remember its not uniquely endemic to WordPress, and try to embrace, not shun, the more opinionated among us.</p></blockquote>
<p>WPTavern has played host to several important discussions surrounding WordPress over the years and I can&#8217;t count the number of times I saw core WordPress developers shrug people and their concerns off as &#8216;<em>big deal</em>&#8216;. It&#8217;s infuriating to be passionate about WordPress, raise a valid concern and instead of those close to the heart of WordPress taking an active stance and being part of the conversation, they insist on shrugging people and the conversation off. I would like to formally recognize Mark Jaquith as <strong>NOT</strong> being one of those people. Mark has often  participated in these discussions offering rational, level-headed approaches to our discussions and sometimes, validating our concerns while providing us direction on how to solve them. As far as I&#8217;m concerned, he&#8217;s a role model for those at the top on how to deal with issues that are raised by members of the community.</p>
<p>Ultimately, the WordPress eco-system is better off by eliminating unnecessary insults, threats, public displays of bashing, and being the crudest of human beings. There&#8217;s no room in the community for that crap. It doesn&#8217;t mean that we&#8217;re forced to sit around a campfire and be happy WordPress hippies signing kumbaya. It just means we can have meaningful dialogue among each other to generate forward progress without having to take part in all the above. </p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With the impending shutdown of Google Reader on July 1st, I&#8217;ve been looking for Feedreader alternatives. I happened to stumble across a recently developed plugin called <a title="https://github.com/PressForward/pressforward" href="https://github.com/PressForward/pressforward">PressForward</a>. Developed for the <a href="http://chnm.gmu.edu" target="_blank">Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media</a> at <a href="http://gmu.edu" target="_blank">George Mason University</a> by <a href="http://aramzs.me" target="_blank">Aram Zucker-Scharff</a>, <a href="http://boone.gorg.es/" target="_blank">Boone B. Gorges</a>, and <a href="http://clioweb.org" target="_blank">Jeremy Boggs</a>, PressForward provides not only a set of curation tools for authors, but a simple feedreader as well. The plugin is in beta form and it&#8217;s obvious once you start using it but here is my experience with it thus far.</p>
<p><a href="http://i1.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Pressforward1.jpg" rel="thumbnail"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-7377" alt="PressForward Interface" src="http://i1.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Pressforward1.jpg?resize=500%2C274" /></a></p>
<p>My main interest was determining whether PressForward could work as my primary feedreader with the added benefit of being within the back-end of WordPress. After experimenting with it for the better part of the day, I&#8217;ve determined that it&#8217;s not something that fulfills my needs. For starters, there is no way to browse feeds by folder/site, it&#8217;s all or nothing. Adding feeds is another matter. It&#8217;s not as simple as clicking an RSS feed button and adding the site to the back-end of WordPress. Instead, you&#8217;ll need to link to a OPML file or provide the URL of a single feed. In the future, it would be beneficial to have the ability to upload an OPML file instead.</p>
<h2>What And Who This Plugin Is Really Meant For:</h2>
<p>The ideas behind this plugin start to shine when you consider its feature set mixed with a multi-author website. Say we have a website with 7 authors dedicated to all things WordPress. All 7 authors can use the feedreader in PressForward to curate content from those feeds and then nominate their content to be published to the front page. When a piece of content is nominated, it goes under review and from here, authors can automatically create a draft post from the nominated content.</p>
<p><a href="http://i1.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Pressforward3.jpg" rel="thumbnail"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7378" alt="Press forward Draft" src="http://i1.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Pressforward3.jpg?resize=249%2C149" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s not just the administrators that can curate content. PressForward has drop-down menus that control the permission levels for specific sections of the plugin. I could see this becoming handy for someone that wanted to create a crowd-sourcing site dedicated to a specific topic.</p>
<p><a href="http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Pressforward4.jpg" rel="thumbnail"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7379" alt="PressForward Permission Settings" src="http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Pressforward4.jpg?resize=337%2C306" /></a></p>
<p>One of the other neat aspects is the built-in commenting system. Each article can be commented on which aids in collaborating on the story. Those comments are not accessible to the public.</p>
<h2>Conclusion:</h2>
<p>PressForward is not a good recommendation for single site authors looking to replace their desktop or service based feedreaders with something that exists within WordPress. However, this is definitely a plugin to keep your eyes on if you&#8217;re the owner of a multi-authored website that covers specific topics and would like an easier way to collaborate with others on different stories.</p>

After looking around, it was clear that not a lot of information about the upcoming release is available. I stopped by the WordPress developers chat today to figure out what was going on and here is what I know. There is still quite a bit of work to be done before 3.6 is officially released. When I posed the question of when could we expect either a new beta or 3.6 to be released, here was the answer I received from Andrew Nacin:</p>
<blockquote><p>When it&#8217;s done. There&#8217;s no new timeline because we just need to get things done and ship, and we don&#8217;t know how long that&#8217;ll take just yet.</p></blockquote>
<p>The last thing I want to do is be a hindrance on the core developers of WordPress and ask a silly question like, &#8220;<em>When will so and so be released</em>&#8221; especially if the answer to that question is already answered on the <a title="http://make.wordpress.org/core/" href="http://make.wordpress.org/core/">make.core.wordpress</a> site but in this instance, it wasn&#8217;t and it&#8217;s been two weeks since the public has had any news on what is going on. At the same time, I&#8217;ve been reminded that if there are no updates on the Make.Core.WordPress site it&#8217;s because the developers are knee deep in code trying to get things fixed.</p>

The third example shows an image of a topless female and male laying on the floor apparently hugging each other. </p>

<p>Rebecca&#8217;s main concern is showing these themes to clients, especially younger ones where these type of images border on inappropriate. Obviously, for porn themes, sex sells, but I can&#8217;t remember the last time I saw a theme on a marketplace that stopped me dead in my tracks because of a demo content image of a naked woman or a naked man or anything close that I would consider to be inappropriate. Have you? Also, is this a legitimate concern amongst other WordPress consultants?</p>

That mission is as follows:</p>
<blockquote><p>To create a more enjoyable and feature-packed service than WordPress.com. I’m not gunning for WP.com, but it’s the easiest way to explain what I’m going to build. And instead of re-inventing the wheel, I’ll use WP.com’s business model — freemium — as well.</p></blockquote>
<p>In a <a href="http://devpress.com/shooting-myself-in-the-foot/" title="http://devpress.com/shooting-myself-in-the-foot/">recent blog post</a> on DevPress.com, Tung Do outlines something akin to a business plan. While his personal project won&#8217;t be a direct WP.com competitor, he&#8217;ll use the freemimum model popularized by Automattic. The service will have one theme, not many although he mentions the possibility of child themes down the road. While the initial account will be free, there will be optional paid upgrades. </p>
<p>Tung Do&#8217;s <a href="http://devpress.com/shooting-myself-in-the-foot/#comment-18880" title="http://devpress.com/shooting-myself-in-the-foot/#comment-18880">follow up comment</a> to his article is also worth reading to get a better idea about what he&#8217;ll be working on. While the hosting business is tough as nails, I think there is still room in that segment to succeed. I reached out to Tung to find out more about his project but he doesn&#8217;t want to go into details about something that doesn&#8217;t exist yet.</p>
<p>If you had any advice for Small Potato, what would you tell him?</p>

<p>I&#8217;m very pleased to announce the release of <a href="http://crowdfavorite.com/capsule/">Capsule</a> v1.1 (and Capsule Server v1.1). In this release we added some pretty handy features along with addressing the usual array of <a href="http://alexking.org/blog/2013/04/24/capsule-the-developers-code-journal">1.0</a>-related issues.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://crowdfavorite.com/capsule/">download and an online demo</a> are available on the Crowd Favorite website.</p>
<p>Some of the highlights in the new version include:</p>
<ul>
<li>A great icon, compliments of <a href="http://dribbble.com/matthewspiel">Matthew Spiel</a> &#8211; awesome for use as a <a href="http://fluidapp.com/">Fluid app</a> icon</li>
<li>Keyboard shortcuts to navigate home (shift-h), create a new post (shift-n), and set focus to the search field (shift-f)</li>
<li>A background queue for sending posts to Capsule Server (saves are no longer held up by the remote request) &#8211; requires Capsule Server 1.1</li>
<li>The ability to map multiple local projects to a single project on Capsule Server</li>
<li>An indicator to show which Capsule Server(s) a post has been pushed to</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="http://alexking.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/server-push-510x248.png" alt="server-push" width="480" height="233" class="aligncenter size-medium-img wp-image-17293" /></p>
<p>We&#8217;ve also added some hooks and addressed a <a href="https://github.com/crowdfavorite/wp-capsule/issues?milestone=1&state=closed">number of issues</a> relating to syntax highlighting, additional default display styling and formatting, etc.</p>
<p>A big thank you to everyone who reported issues, suggested features and submitted patches. If you&#8217;re interested in contributing, please <a href="https://github.com/crowdfavorite/wp-capsule/">join us on GitHub</a>.</p>

<p>Capsule is a developer&#8217;s code journal, implemented as a WordPress-based app. Think of it as a replacement for that text file you have open while you&#8217;re building things. Instead of throwing those artifacts away, easily tag and capture them for the future.</p>

<p>And only 30 minutes later, version 1.1.1 fixes the missing JS in the build file (optimized.js).</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:"Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:59:13 +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:"Alex";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:11;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

That is hard to believe considering it&#8217;s never been as easy to publish content online as it is today. However, whether or not WordPress is the best tool for <strong>THAT</strong> job is up for debate. There is a reason why some WordPress faithful like Jason Schuller of <a href="http://press75.com/" title="http://press75.com/">Press75.com</a> have stopped using WordPress for their personal sites and instead, have gone off to create <a href="http://dropplets.com/" title="http://dropplets.com/">their own vision</a> of what a publishing platform should be like. I asked Jason what pushed him over the edge to stop using WordPress.</p>
<blockquote><p>I&#8217;m not sure that any one thing in particular pushed me over the edge. Being excited, happy and passionate about what I’m working on/with is very important to me, and I no longer feel any of those things when it comes to WordPress. Creating a simple WordPress theme (for example) has become a grueling task because there are certain expectations that you have to consider in order for the WordPress community to accept your work. </p>
<p>I still think WordPress is an amazing piece of software that has opened so many doors for so many people and that is something I will never forget&#8230; it’s just not something that interests me in its current state or direction. My focus is on creating simple/elegant solutions that actual people can use without having to spend weeks reading through tutorials or sifting through admin menus. Also, in order to continue to learn and grow as an entrepreneur I have to leave WordPress behind and find my own path.</p></blockquote>
<p>Then there is <a href="http://wiki.habariproject.org/en/Manual#Introduction" title="http://wiki.habariproject.org/en/Manual#Introduction">Habari</a>. Habari is another project created from the ground up from former WordPress developers/users. If you want to hear Matt&#8217;s thoughts on Habari at the time, I highly encourage you to <a href="http://wp-community.org/2007/01/18/episode-18-habari-wordpress-206-released-wordpress-21-enters-beta/" title="http://wp-community.org/2007/01/18/episode-18-habari-wordpress-206-released-wordpress-21-enters-beta/">listen to episode 18 of the original WordPress Podcast</a> from January 18th, 2007 starting at the 10:34 mark. Their news bit includes a quote from Matt with his thoughts on the release of Habari as well as open-source competitors. I wonder if his attitude on competitors is the same today as it was back then. </p>
<p>There are a handful of other publishing platforms available but the core point I want to draw attention to is that they all seem to focus around one thing. <strong>Simplicity</strong>. One of the major features of WordPress in its early years was in fact, simplicity. Now it seems as though that simplicity is disappearing and is ending up in entirely new codebases. There is no need to panic but it&#8217;s a trend worth taking note of. </p>
<p>I love the freedoms that WordPress provides but I&#8217;d hate to see people give up those freedoms to go behind a walled garden because WordPress is just too darn complex to use. A strong pillar of the WordPress ecosystem is its third-party community via plugins and themes. But this pillar can not exist as the foundation of WordPress, nor should it. The foundation should be the publishing software. If the third-party ecosystem becomes <em><strong>the only</strong></em> reason to use WordPress and I were a core developer, I&#8217;d be extremely disappointed. </p>

I was happy to make the first monetary donation when the project got started, and as of last week I was able to make a closing bookend donation for the remaining amount they needed, a bit above $1.5M. It was an honor to chip in along with the thousands of other supporters who have already donated to make the project a reality.</p>
<blockquote><p>The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls. &#8212; Pablo Picasso</p></blockquote>
<p>My hope is that over the next few years, and perhaps beyond that, the lights brighten people&#8217;s experience of San Francisco whether they see them every night or they&#8217;re one of the 16 million that visit the city every year. Hopefully that effect, however small, spreads to their other interactions long after the lights are off and the sun comes up. There are countless good causes around the world, some which I support regularly <a href="http://ma.tt/about/">are listed on my about page</a>, and I hope to have the opportunity to support many more in the future, but this close-to-home gift to a city that has given me so much seemed like the right thing right now.</p>

It introduces gallery support for self-hosted sites running WordPress 3.5 or higher. It also resolves many of the outstanding issues and quirks that you have mentioned on the forums and on Twitter.</p>
<p>Galleries are a great way to share pictures with your friends and followers. An image gallery will display thumbnails for all images attached to a particular post or page. Readers can tap or click any image to launch the gallery full-screen, displaying huge versions of your images.</p>
<p>You can create a gallery straight from your device by attaching two or more pictures to a post or a page. You can even customize the appearance of a gallery by tapping the &#8220;gallery settings&#8221; button and choosing the best options for your site.</p>
<h3>Gallery Styles</h3>
<p>You have great control over how the gallery will be displayed: as a thumbnail grid, or as a slideshow. Both gallery types offer a lot of options to choose, not limited to: random order, page or file attachment.</p>
<p>Below is an example of an image gallery using the default thumbnail setting. If you click on any of the images you will be able to see what the carousel view looks like:</p>

I came to the conclusion that they can&#8217;t which was the basis behind my WordPress news sites disappearing into the <a title="http://www.wptavern.com/wordpress-news-sites-and-the-bermuda-triangle" href="http://www.wptavern.com/wordpress-news-sites-and-the-bermuda-triangle">bermuda triangle post</a>. I&#8217;ve had a chance to look at all the feedback surrounding the topic and it&#8217;s clear that some have totally missed the point I was trying to make. Some of the websites that have repeatedly been used as examples of success in this market include <a title="http://wpdaily.co/" href="http://wpdaily.co/">WPDaily.co</a>, <a title="http://www.wpbeginner.com/" href="http://www.wpbeginner.com/">WPBeginner</a>, <a title="http://www.wpcandy.com" href="http://www.wpcandy.com">WPCandy</a>, and <a title="http://wpmu.org" href="http://wpmu.org">WPMU.org</a> to name a few. The only website in that group that comes close to what I tried to achieve is WPCandy. The other sites all have a source of income that is not based on the content they are publishing.</p>
<p><strong>WPDaily.co</strong> &#8211; This website is backed by 8Bit</p>
<p><strong>WPBeginner</strong> &#8211; They offer services such as consulting and custom WordPress designs.</p>
<p><strong>WPMU.org</strong> &#8211; This site is funded by a commercial plugins and themes</p>
<p><strong>WPRealm</strong> &#8211; All of the contributors are compensated outside of the content they produce on WPRealm. </p>
<p>Starting to notice a trend here?</p>
<p>All four of those websites publish WordPress news and related items on a routine basis but they&#8217;re also excellent examples of the primary point I made: <em>A news centric website takes so much time and energy to maintain and keep fresh, it’s not worth it in the long run unless you have a company backing you or an auxiliary source of cash that pays the bills and puts food on the table at the same time.</em></p>
<p>A number of people suggested I should have started a consulting section on WPTavern but that was something I was never interested in doing. I was and still am a content creation guy. I needed to figure out how to make the content I created pay for the bills while also getting to the point where the site was self-sustainable. I tried affiliate links for themes and plugins I reviewed, display advertising, sponsorships, nothing I tried was as consistent as a 40 hour work week. I did toy with the idea of putting up a paywall but I wanted as many people as possible to read what I had to say.</p>
<blockquote><p>I believe that there is space to make money providing WordPress news and information without selling out. I also think that this notion that there would be a void had Matt Mullenweg not bailed out the Tavern and funded Jeff to write there is totally false.</p>
<p>The WordPress ecosystem is a market like any other, and holes in markets tend to be filled. What fills a hole in a particular market may take different shape over time as the solutions evolve, but people are always out there to fill voids. Especially if you can do something to fill a void that you are passionate about. <a href="http://poststat.us/on-wordpress-news-sites/" title="http://poststat.us/on-wordpress-news-sites/">Brian Krogsgard &#8211; PostStat.us On WordPress News Sites</a></p></blockquote>
<p>I agree with Brian that there would not have been a void had the Tavern disappeared. Once things started to go south on this website, WPCandy was rocking and rolling. I watched from the sideline as WPCandy became the coolest place to be in the WordPress community and saw Ryan Imel take ideas I had for the Tavern and turn them into reality e.g. the first print edition WordPress magazine, <a href="http://wpcandy.com/quarterly/" title="http://wpcandy.com/quarterly/">The WPCandy Quarterly</a>. Once things started to go south for WPCandy, WPDaily.co became the new popular watering hole. There is never a void in the WordPress news space. </p>
<p>One of the few people to understand my original point is Curtis McHale. He has an <a href="https://plus.google.com/113827756965068019660/posts/EfgkNUNacea" title="https://plus.google.com/113827756965068019660/posts/EfgkNUNacea">ongoing conversation</a> taking place on Google+. At the end of his comment, he asks the following question: <em>Can a WordPress site monetize just on the news it produces? It may be a naïve assumption that it&#8217;s possible (without a ton of ads).﻿</em> A similar <a href="http://wpmu.org/wordpress-news-sites-are-they-worth-paying-for/" title="http://wpmu.org/wordpress-news-sites-are-they-worth-paying-for/">type question asked on WMPU.org</a> <em>Is WordPress news worth paying for?</em> After my experience with WPTavern, I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s possible for a WordPress news centric site to survive solely on the content it produces. I&#8217;m interested to see if Brian proves me wrong with PostStat.us.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll close out this post by providing these words of wisdom. </p>
<blockquote><p>My advice to anyone wanting to start a WordPress news centric website, especially if you think it’s going to make you some money is to stop immediately. Focus your efforts on where the real cash is. Commercial plugins, themes, and services. A news centric website takes so much time and energy to maintain and keep fresh, it’s not worth it in the long run unless you have a company backing you or an auxiliary source of cash that pays the bills and puts food on the table at the same time. The value and worth comes from writing code, not text.</p></blockquote>

However, after reviewing the <a title="http://demo.audiotheme.com/americanaura/" href="http://demo.audiotheme.com/americanaura/">Americanaura theme</a> combined with the <a title="https://audiotheme.com/view/audiotheme/" href="https://audiotheme.com/view/audiotheme/">AudioTheme framework</a>, I have a better understanding of why custom post types are so cool.</p>
<p><a href="http://i2.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/AudioThemeTips.jpg" rel="thumbnail"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-7322" alt="AudioTheme Tips" src="http://i2.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/AudioThemeTips.jpg?resize=500%2C285" /></a></p>
<p>Unlike a traditional theme framework, the majority of the functionality is located in the AudioTheme Plugin. Without this plugin, AudioTheme themes will not function. This setup enables the separation between code and design. The nuts and bolts behind this theme are the custom post types. There are three primary post types, <strong>Gigs, Discography, and Videos</strong>. Each one has a set of custom meta boxes like record details, or ticket prices. While the screenshot shows off a tool-tip, I would like to see more of these added. For example, when adding a new gig, there is a custom meta box for Tickets. One of the fields is for configuring a tickets URL. It&#8217;s not obvious if this URL is something within the theme or a URL to an outside source such as TicketMaster. A simple tool-tip could explain exactly what that field is for. However, most of the theme is self-explanatory.</p>
<p><a href="http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/AudioThemeVolumeControl.jpg" rel="thumbnail"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7324" alt="AudioTheme Volume Slider" src="http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/AudioThemeVolumeControl.jpg?resize=303%2C159" /></a></p>
<p>One of the coolest features within this framework is the jukebox. The source of music can come from a record or a list of tracks. Once the jukebox is set up, a media player will show up at the bottom of the browser window giving visitors the option to browse through tracks, stop/play, click to a specific point in the music timeline, and volume control. While it&#8217;s a small nitpick, I found the volume control confusing. In most media players, moving the slider<em> down to up</em> or<em> left to right</em> will increase volume. In the jukebox, moving from left to right will increase the volume but the way it&#8217;s displayed makes it look as though the volume is being lowered. A simple color switch would solve this problem.</p>
<p><a href="http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/AudioThemeJukebox.jpg" rel="thumbnail"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7323" alt="AudioTheme" src="http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/AudioThemeJukebox.jpg?resize=560%2C192" /></a></p>
<p>Both the themes and the plugin framework are licensed under the GPLv2, the same license as WordPress. While checking out, you&#8217;ll notice text that stipulates how many sites you can use the framework on. This is related to how many sites can receive support and is not a restriction of use. Because of the separation between theme and plugin, each has its own price tag. If you&#8217;re a theme developer, you&#8217;ll probably want to look at purchasing only the AudioTheme framework and design around it. But for non-coders, you&#8217;ll most likely need to buy both a theme <strong>and</strong> the framework. However, the website states that any theme purchase will come with a personal license to use the framework.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not the most user-friendly setup but I like the versatility it provides them as a company. By keeping the framework separate, AudioThemes can work with other  companies to build designs around their plugin as they did with <a title="https://audiotheme.com/view/blocco/" href="https://audiotheme.com/view/blocco/">Press75</a>. I&#8217;m hoping that in the future, they have a ton of designs to choose from.</p>
<h2>Conclusion:</h2>
<p>Overall, the theme I reviewed along with the framework was not only easy to install, but easy to use as well. I remember 5-8 years ago that some of the features that come standard with the AudioTheme Framework and with WordPress were very hard to come by in any other CMS. Take the Jukebox for example. Something like the Jukebox 5-8 years ago would involve installing hacks or using some sort of third-party service. This example of utilizing custom post types has taught me why their versatility is such an exciting component of WordPress. Based on this theme and some other examples I&#8217;ve seen, when a good design is paired with custom post types, magical things happen. I can&#8217;t wait to come across indie or established artists utilizing AudioTheme to get their music to the world, without the need for a middle man.</p>

It&#8217;s never a good sign when you see support forum stats like this: <em>0 of 10 support threads in the last two months have been resolved</em>. But considering the topic creator has to mark the topic as resolved, this is not a fool-proof method of determining if a plugin is broken. From what I can tell, most of the issues surround partial imports and the <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-import-images-file-attachements" title="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-import-images-file-attachements">importing of images</a>. </p>
<p>I used the importer to move all the content from WPTavern.com to a local install of WordPress. I chose to do a full export/import. The WXR file was around 17 megs but WordPress seemed to take forever to process the file, even on my local machine. While all the images were imported properly, they were not attached to the proper posts. The images that were displayed on the local site were linked to the ones within the media library on WPTavern.com. After dropping all the tables from the database and starting over, I tried to import my files again with the same results. Just to see what would happen, I exported only my posts with attachments to see if both would be imported correctly. While the posts were imported correctly, none of the media attachments were brought over into the media library. As illustrated in the support forum post I linked above, the only way to move media attachments from one site to another is to export/import <strong>EVERYTHING</strong>. If I select attachments to be downloaded and exported, then that&#8217;s what should happen no matter which variety of ways I export the content. </p>
<p><a href="http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/NoMediaAttachments.jpg" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/NoMediaAttachments.jpg?resize=328%2C240" alt="No Media Attachments" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7315" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;ve exported/imported content from one WordPress site to another so I don&#8217;t remember how the process is suppose to play out but if the behavior I described above is considered normal, the import process is definitely not as painless as it should be. After all, exporting/importing from WordPress to WordPress should be as easy as counting 1,2,3. Unlike other plugins that have a specific author, this one is developed by the <a href="http://profiles.wordpress.org/wordpressdotorg/" title="http://profiles.wordpress.org/wordpressdotorg/">WordPressdotorg</a> team so it&#8217;s not clear who to contact. </p>
<p>If you have used the WordPress export/import plugin within the past few weeks and have also run into problems, I&#8217;d love for you to chime in on the comments. I&#8217;d especially like to hear from those that export/import sites on a routine basis. </p>

<p>If you develop BuddyPress themes or plugins, or if you run a BP-powered community site, now is the time to start testing the next major version of BuddyPress in your development environments. BP 1.8 will feature a large number of fixes and enhancements. For the full list, see <a href="http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&group=resolution&milestone=1.8">the 1.8 milestone in Trac</a>. Here is a short list of major changes, areas where you may want to focus your testing energies:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><code>BP_Group_Extension</code></strong> has been largely rewritten, with the goal of making Group Extension plugins faster and more consistent to write (<a href="http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4955">#4955</a>). We&#8217;ve worked hard to make sure that existing <code>BP_Group_Extension</code> plugins will continue to work as before, but we encourage you to verify your own plugins. In the upcoming days, I&#8217;ll be writing updated Codex documentation for the Group Extension API, so you can see how the new features in BP 1.8 will make writing group extension plugins radically simpler. Watch <a href="http://bpdevel.wordpress.com">bpdevel.wordpress.com</a> for updates.</li>
<li>The <strong>group administration panels</strong> in the Dashboard have seen some improvements &#8211; in particular, to the way that the Manage Members section works (<a href="http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4482">#4482</a>, <a href="http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4977">#4977</a>). Pagination support has been added to the member lists in these panels, as well as the <code>bp_group_has_members()</code> stack that underpins the panels.</li>
<li>The <strong>bp-legacy stylesheet</strong> has undergone a process of &#8220;detheming&#8221; (<a href="http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4953">#4953</a>). We&#8217;ve combed through the bp-legacy CSS &#8211; which provides BP-specific styling on themes that don&#8217;t have native support for BP &#8211; and removed some of the lingering stylistic remnants of the bp-default theme. Now, things like font faces, buttons, and form element styling will be inherited from your WordPress theme in a much more graceful way.</li>
<li>We&#8217;ve introduced a new <strong>template hierarchy layer for top-level templates</strong> (<a href="http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4639">#4639</a>). Similar to <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy">WordPress&#8217;s template hierarchy</a>, this new feature allows themes to provide top-level template files that are specific to a component or item. For example, if your theme contains a template at <code>groups/index-directory.php</code>, it&#8217;ll be used instead of <code>buddypress.php</code> or <code>page.php</code> when viewing the Groups directory. See <a href="http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/7212">r7212</a> for more details on the hierarchy, and watch the <a href="http://codex.buddypress.org">Codex</a> and <a href="http://bpdevel.wordpress.com">bpdevel</a> for documentation between now and the 1.8 release.</li>
<li><code>bp_has_groups()</code> and <code>bp_has_activities()</code> now accept a <strong><code>meta_query</code> parameter</strong> (<a href="http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3521">#3521</a>). This means you can filter a group or activity query based on groupmeta or activitymeta, using the very same <code>meta_query</code> syntax familiar from <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Custom_Field_Parameters">WP_Query</a>.</li>
<li><strong>@-mentions can now be disabled</strong> (<a href="http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3388">#3388</a>), by adding <code>add_filter( 'bp_activity_do_mentions', '__return_false' );</code> to your bp-custom.php file.</li>
<li><strong>RSS feeds for activity streams</strong> have been overhauled (<a href="http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5020">#5020</a>). Our RSS implementation has been brought more in line with best practices for feed construction. And feed-building logic has been abstracted from myriad standalone feed templates into a single <code>BP_Activity_Feed</code> class, which makes the creation of custom feeds a breeze.</li>
</ul>
<p>Remember that BuddyPress 1.8-beta1 is beta software, and we don&#8217;t recommend running it on a production site quite yet.</p>
<p>Get 1.8-beta1 via svn, or by downloading <a href="http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.1.8-beta1.zip">the zip file from wordpress.org</a>. Find a bug or have a question?

		<p>BP 1.8-beta1 is now available. If you&#8217;re a BP developer, translator, or site admin, this is a good time to start testing the next major release in your dev environments.

		<p>Hi, I tested my plugin BP Group Documents (download link <a href="http://blogs.sch.gr/stergatu/files/2013/06/buddypress-group-documents0_6.zip" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.sch.gr/stergatu/files/2013/06/buddypress-group-documents0_6.zip</a>) against BP 1.8 beta-1, wp 3.5.1.<br />
The plugin extends BP_Group_Extension and uses the _construct, edit_screen, display() etc functions.<br />
I noticed the following strange behaviour.<br />
Group create step screen OK<br />
Admin group page screen OK<br />
Edit group page screen OK<br />
Display screen and nav tab of plugin NOT showing at all.<br />
I don&#8217;t get any error log or debug messages with wp_debug.</p>
<p>Any clues / directions?</p>

I&#8217;ve gone through various stages and iterations, all different as circumstances have evolved, but all driven by the same question:</p>
<blockquote><p>
  How can I create the best experience for the user in a way that is sustainable?
</p></blockquote>
<p>On a podcast a while back I said something to this effect:</p>
<blockquote><p>
  Free support is only sustainable on either end of the spectrum. Either you have so many users that you&#8217;re able to well monetize them to the point that you have a dedicated support team tasked with making sure they are well cared for; or you have so few users that the drain on your time is negligible and can easily be handled along with other day-to-day tasks. The tricky stuff lies in the middle.
</p></blockquote>
<p>When I first started writing hacks for b2 and plugins and themes for WordPress, my life looked a lot different than it does now. I had a day job which paid all my bills, a wife that also worked long hours, and the work I did on my own site was what generated most of the code I released to the community.</p>
<p>The community was also much smaller and had a different profile back then. A handful of hackers that would use each other&#8217;s code, send each other suggestions, and generally collaborate as peers.</p>
<p>Nowdays the profile of the average WordPress user is far different. WordPress has become a tool for business users that do not need to have technical experience to make WordPress work for them. This is awesome, but it fundamentally changes the nature of the support requests I see.</p>
<p>My station in life has changed quite a bit too. I have a daughter, I run a great team of 15 people and I&#8217;m dealing with some <a href="https://alexking.org/blog/2013/05/31/cancer">medical issues</a>. I don&#8217;t have the time that I used to, and what time I do have I&#8217;d rather spend building something than responding to emails.</p>
<p>How I<sup id="fnref:1"><a href="http://alexking.org/blog/topic/wordpress/feed#fn:1" rel="footnote">1</a></sup> handle support today is to break it down into two types of support:</p>
<ol>
<li>User Support</li>
<li>Product Support</li>
</ol>
<p>With <strong>User Support</strong>, we provide one-on-one attention and do our best to solve whatever issues the user might be experiencing. This can even extend to troubleshooting plugin conflicts and server configuration issues. We reserve this level of support for our paid products (<a href="http://crowdfavorite.com/wordpress/ramp/">RAMP</a>, <a href="http://crowdfavorite.com/wordpress/carrington-build/">Carrington Build</a>, etc.).</p>
<p>For our free products, we provide <strong>Product Support</strong>. This means we listen and pay attention to bug reports and try to fix anything that appears to have a reproducible use case. However we do not provide one-on-one support for users and do not dive deeply into one-off reports of edge cases.</p>
<p>I feel that this is a reasonable compromise, and I believe that most of the users of my products agree. There will always be people who believe they can make unreasonable demands on your time, but luckily there&#8217;s a handy button on those emails (or even voicemails, yikes!) for resolving them with minimal effort.</p>
<hr />
<p>A few years back I had the idea that the collective support burden on WordPress plugin developers had grown to the point that we should all outsource it to a 3rd party. To support this, I created WP HelpCenter and tried to partner with plugin and theme developers through a referral program.</p>
<p>This ended up being a flop, for a few reasons. The main on was users that actually needed support were typically unwilling to pay for it. From their perspective the plugin/theme wasn&#8217;t working and they were doing the developer a favor by reporting a bug. They certainly weren&#8217;t going to pay anything for it. What users are willing to pay for is customization, and that&#8217;s an entirely different beast.</p>
<p>I still think something like WP HelpCenter could work, but it would be a lot of work and would need real buy-in from all parts of the community.</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve released Twitter Tools version 3.0.4 which now uses the Twitter v1.1 API. Since Twitter has turned off the 1.0 API, this is pretty much a &#8220;must upgrade&#8221; situation.</p>
<p>If Twitter Tools has been active for you over the last few days, you&#8217;ll need to do a little cleanup:</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="http://d.pr/i/qoaN">enable the Tweet admin screens</a></li>
<li><a href="http://d.pr/i/kK4K">delete anything you don&#8217;t want (all of those &#8220;(no title)&#8221; ones, probably)</a></li>
</ol>
<p>Grab the code from <a href="https://github.com/crowdfavorite/wp-twitter-tools">GitHub</a> where active development occurs, or from <a href="http://wordpress.org/plugins/twitter-tools/">WordPress.org</a> where it is distributed.</p>
<p>That should do it. As always post any weirdness you see in the <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/twitter-tools">support forums</a>. While I can&#8217;t provide individual support, I do look for any issues and reports that would indicate a bug that I can fix.</p>

Occasionally, I&#8217;ll come across something that is pretty interesting such as <a title="http://teslathemes.com/" href="http://teslathemes.com/">TeslaThemes</a>. TeslaThemes is a brand new theme club with the goal of producing one theme per month. In particular, I thought their <a title="http://teslathemes.com/wp-themes/coolstuff/" href="http://teslathemes.com/wp-themes/coolstuff/">Cool Stuff theme</a> introduced a unique way of displaying content via Post Formats and a timeline. After browsing around the site, I decided to get in touch with TeslaThemes to find out how they plan on surviving the WordPress theme market, especially as a theme club. <span id="more-7292"></span></p>
<p><strong>In an ever growing crowd of companies, what do you think will set TeslaThemes apart from the competition?</strong></p>
<p>We are aware of this very fast growing market, and especially this makes us very confident in what we do and how we do. At this moment income is not a priority, we’re mainly focused on delivering really useful themes to end-users, we do not want to create this “<em>plastic</em>”, “<em>industrial</em>”, “<em>copy paste</em>” WordPress templates as so many do. The market is over saturated with themes and templates and they all look the same. People need something unique, that can stand out of the crowd. We have a very loyal group of followers that give us the boost and confidence for what we have planned.</p>
<div id="attachment_7294" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://i1.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/TeslaThemesPricing.jpg" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://i1.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/TeslaThemesPricing.jpg?resize=500%2C187" alt="Tesla Themes Pricing" class="size-large wp-image-7294" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">These prices will be changing soon</p></div>
<p><strong>In your opinion, what makes a good WordPress theme?</strong></p>
<p>Depends on who is asked. For many, they say 90% is design and 10% code, for others vice versa. We want to merge it to a golden middle, creating handcrafted design interface plus very intuitive customization process for the user, so that he enjoys personalizing his own website, without headache or paying additional developers for that. At the end of the day, when everything is done, what the rest see the design, its usability and navigation, how clean and understandable is it. For sure everyone appreciates it. No one has time to search on the page, our eyes must catch everything from a single glance. To resume, important is the design, the concept, perfect code and very intelligent and user friendly framework that will guide anyone.</p>
<p><strong>Why have you chosen to develop commercial themes for WordPress instead of Joomla, or Drupal?</strong></p>
<p>Frankly, we do not stop on WordPress, at this very minute we have 5 templates in the queue, where 1 is ecommerce. However, the main course is WordPress indeed. Our research shows that more and more people are opting for a simple yet complex blog or website based on WordPress, this is already both a trend and necessity. If at the beginning WordPress was meant for blogs, now it&#8217;s escalated to pretty big web applications that are using it. At TeslaThemes we can adapt any theme to any needs.</p>
<p><a href="http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/TeslaThemesWordPress.jpg" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/TeslaThemesWordPress.jpg?resize=389%2C146" alt="Tesla Themes WordPress" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7295" /></a></p>
<p><strong>What is the Tesla Framework?</strong></p>
<p>Tesla Framework is another one of our proud products. The decision to develop it was unanimous and instant. There are many reason why, first of all we were thinking about our customers who are purchasing our Premium Templates. We’ve noticed that not very many have any technical background, the tickets we were receiving at the time were related rather to lack of technical experience and WordPress knowledge than some technical problems of the theme. At a certain point we had a huge data base of Q&#038;A and decided to build our own Framework, adapting and combining all the issues we’ve got during our daily activity. The end result, without modesty is a brilliant tool that helps anyone to customize its template in a very simple and fun way. We noticed an 85% drop for tickets, since we launched it and all the feedback we get from our customers is just great. Another strong reason to make it was the technical aspect, it increased our theme development up to 40%. Now any Tesla developer can work on any of our themes without any problem, switching whenever is needed, it is a unique platform that saves time and development costs. At the end of the day Tesla Framework was a very inspired decision both for end-users and our developers.</p>

<p><strong>Theme clubs are a tough way to do business. Many have come and gone. Why have you decided to go with the club route instead of charging $60-$70 per theme?</strong></p>
<p>That’s correct, Jeff. For sure we will not go for too long with club way. The reason we have so affordable prices for single themes and annual subscription, is lack of financial priority at the moment. Of course we are not Red Cross, we also have bills and want to drive nice cars and nice vacations. All the prices for sure will go up in the next few months. Our design and development department are working now on 5 templates that must come up by middle of July, 2013. The 24/7 support we have, the handcrafted design, uniqueness, they all cost money and I am sure, people want to have really the best and they will buy our themes. </p>
<p><strong>One of my favorite designs from TeslaThemes is the Cool Stuff theme. What was the inspiration behind the timeline display of content?</strong></p>
<p>That’s right, Cool Stuff is one of our best sellers. It is very simple and has a modern layout. The idea behind it was very simple, inspired by flat design trend we decided to create our first flat design theme. It was rather from fun, but turned out to be a success. As a matter of fact, 4 out of 5 themes we have in the queue, are flat. The timeline display gives a faster navigation thru the page, saves user’s time and keeps a higher focus on the content. And content is king!</p>

<p><strong>Do you have any opinions on themes bundling plugins whether they are commercial or free?</strong></p>
<p>I think that bundling plugins (whether they are commercial or free) is not good for the end user. By nature, plugins need to be detached from the framework, because in case something goes wrong the plugin can be deactivated and the user can maintain a working website without losing traffic. On the other side, bundling plugins with a theme means to compel a user to use only one plugin for a given enhancement, when the user could have used another plugin, giving the same functionality, but which the user knows better how to use.</p>
<p><strong>Why did you decide to license the themes under the same license WordPress has? (GPL V2)</strong></p>
<p>Because adopting this kind of license for our themes is better than writing our own, and limit what our users can do with their themes. GPL gives a sense of freedom, and clients love to hear that they have the freedom to do whatever they want with their themes after they buy it. In addition, having this license gives us some advantages, like the opportunity to promote our marketplace on WordPress.org </p>
<p><strong>Anything you would like to say to the WordPress Community?</strong></p>
<p>To keep up and continue to innovate. Inspiration and satisfaction. The tough market is a risk indeed but let’s see it rather as an opportunity to stand out of the crowd with great service and products. The competition develops and brings real value for everyone.</p>

Instead of previewing posts in a new browser tab, this plugin adds an editor to the right of the post within the same tab enabling you to see what the post will look like.</p>
<div id="attachment_7288" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://i1.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/InlinePreview1.jpg" rel="thumbnail"><img class="size-full wp-image-7288" alt="Inline Preview" src="http://i1.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/InlinePreview1.jpg?resize=500%2C375" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Editor And Post In The Same Tab</p></div>
<p>If you end up giving this plugin a try, be warned that once you click the preview button, the only way to close the inline preview area is to either reload the page or save the draft. Once I saw a screenshot of this plugin in action, I was initially excited because this is one of the features I saw in Ghost that intrigued me. However, this plugin is only at the experimental level and I&#8217;m not sure how far Chris is going to take it. But if he plans on putting more development time into it, here are a couple things on my checklist I&#8217;d like to see.</p>
<ul>
<li>Have the inline preview only show the content area of the website, no sidebar, no footer, none of the unnecessary details. Since my content area is only 600 pixels wide, it would make better use of my screen real estate.</li>
<li>Real-time editing so that as I type or add images, I can see how those changes would look on the site.</li>
<li>The ability to change the width of the post editor and the inline preview so that I can apply a size that works best for my monitor.</li>
<li>An easy way to close the inline editor without having to reload the entire page.</li>
</ul>
<p>Anything else you can think of that would make a plugin like this useful to you?</p>

<p>My name is Kevin Muldoon. I am a writer, blogger and internet marketer. I am from Scotland but for the last two years I have been living in South America.</p>
<p>I first tried WordPress in 2006. During that year I had tried just about every blogging script out there. The one I chose to use for my travel blog was Serendipity. I had been using CMS&#8217;s for several years so I started looking more into using blogging platforms to create small content websites. Eventually, that led me to WordPress and I have used it ever since. <span id="more-7269"></span></p>
<p><strong>I discovered you through BloggingTips.com. Every time I see your name, it&#8217;s behind a different blog. Are you in the business of creating and selling websites?</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://i2.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/BloggingtipsLogo.jpg" rel="thumbnail"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7271" alt="BloggingTips Logo" src="http://i2.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/BloggingtipsLogo.jpg?resize=285%2C100" /></a></p>
<p>I have sold hundreds of websites over the years, though it is not something I always set out to do. When I sold <a title="http://www.bloggingtips.com/" href="http://www.bloggingtips.com/">BloggingTips</a> at the beginning of 2010, I had been working on it every day for 3 years. I was keen to do something else. My next blog, <a title="http://www.wphub.com" href="http://www.wphub.com">WP Mods</a>, was sold in part because of an upcoming trip throughout South America and partly to free up more time to work on other websites I was developing.</p>
<p>To date I have over $200k worth of sales on Flippa, but I wouldn&#8217;t consider myself a website flipper. All of the websites I have sold have been developed from scratch by me.</p>
<p><strong>I understand you make a substantial amount of your income from your work online. From your experience, which revenue generating technique has garnered the most cash?</strong></p>
<p>I make 100% of my income online. I started working online in 2000. I was working in Finance at the time and would work on websites at night. I probably made a few hundred dollars a month, which was never enough to leave my full time job. I did make a few good sales from domains. One time in 2002 I bought a domain name at work at 8.30am and sold it at 12.00pm for around $300-$400. I had bigger sales but that was probably the most satisfying due to how quickly I turned a profit.</p>
<p>Around 2004 I started making enough to work full time online. All of my money was coming from affiliate commissions. At the height of the gambling craze I was making over $20,000 a month. That helped pay off some debts from university and allowed some fun trips around the world.</p>
<p>Today, I still make most of my money from affiliate referrals, adsense and banner ad sales. I am starting to make money from selling books and I earn money from freelance writing too.</p>
<p><strong>Back in May of 2009, you and Sarah started a WordPress theme club titled appropriately enough, <a title="http://www.blogthemesclub.com/" href="http://www.blogthemesclub.com/">BlogThemesClub.com</a>. Whatever happened to the club and what valuable lessons did you learn from that experience?</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://i2.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/BlogThemesClubLogo.jpg" rel="thumbnail"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7272" alt="blogthemesclub" src="http://i2.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/BlogThemesClubLogo.jpg?resize=444%2C111" /></a></p>
<p>haha We sold that one too :)</p>
<p>That site developed out of BloggingTips.com. Through that site I had released several WordPress themes to the community free. We then looked into releasing premium designs to blog readers but later decided that it would be better long term to sell themes from a new domain.</p>
<p>I am primarily a writer/marketer and Sarah is primarily a coder. Due to this, we had to outsource all the design work. This was not without its difficulties. Looking back, we probably should have brought in a designer as a partner from the start. That would have allowed us to develop themes quicker. I am sure we could have made it a success if we stuck to it though we decided to cut our losses and move on as we were spending a lot of time on it.</p>
<p>It was a good experience and I did learn a lot from running a membership driven website and with working with a partner, so it is not something look back on with regret.</p>
<p><strong>Do you find it difficult to generate content for your various sites or does it come natural?</strong></p>
<p>No. That is something that I have never had a problem with. Never have, never will. I am always reading other blogs and I buy books regularly too, so I am never short of ideas. My personal blog <a title="http://www.kevinmuldoon.com" href="http://www.kevinmuldoon.com">KevinMuldoon.com</a> currently has 125 draft posts, all of which are partly written or have details of what needs to be written.</p>
<p>The main problem is time to actually write. Over the next few months I need to greatly reduce my own writing responsibilities and bring in others to help me maintain my websites and blogs.</p>
<p><strong>Obviously you&#8217;re only one person. What tips can you provide for those looking to hire people to write for their site?</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://i2.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/WPModsLogo.jpg" rel="thumbnail"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7273" alt="WPMods Logo" src="http://i2.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/WPModsLogo.jpg?resize=258%2C69" /></a></p>
<p>Unless you want your website or blog to always remain at the same level, you need to bring people in to help you. With BloggingTips.com I had over a dozen people writing regularly. By the time I sold WPMods.com I had two or three people helping me write articles.</p>
<p>Obviously, getting the right people is key. It can be tempting to just get the cheapest writers but you need to remember that sometimes a badly written post is worse than having no post published at all. At the start it can be a balancing act trying to keep writing costs down and turn a profit, but long term it is worth it. Generally speaking, I would rather spend money on hiring good writers than spending money on an advertising campaign or some SEO service.</p>
<p>As you rightly point out, there is only one of me, so for me to move on and do other things, I need to hire other people. There is no other way round it. The old idiom &#8220;<strong>hire people smarter than you</strong>&#8221; definitely runs true, and once they know what you are looking for, you should feel comfortable letting them get on with their job. Spending too much time micro-managing them can be counter-productive.</p>
<p><strong>What is it about WordPress that has you using it for just about every site you create?</strong></p>
<p>Possibility.</p>
<p>No other platform out there, blogging or otherwise, comes even close to offering the same level of customization that WordPress does. Can you think of any other platform that offers thousands and thousands of free and premium plugins and themes?</p>
<p><strong>What is your biggest pet peeve with WordPress?</strong></p>
<p>I would say it is that every plugin developer out there wants to hijack my admin area and place a large menu link on my admin sidebar. There are plugins that only take two minutes to set up and then you never need to configure them again, yet they hog my sidebar. All major plugin developers, including Automattic, seem to be doing this.</p>
<p>I am aware that there are plugins out there that let me remove links from the main menu and put them somewhere else, however I do not feel that WordPress users should need to do this. Why should we have to go to the hassle of cleaning up their mess?</p>
<p><strong>Where would you like to see WordPress 5 years from now?</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/wordpresslogo.png" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/wordpresslogo.png?resize=150%2C150" alt="wordpresslogo" class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-422" /></a></p>
<p>I like the fact that WordPress has started removing things like blogrolls and adding them back as plugins. The core version should not be too bloated.</p>
<p>The problem is that there is so much functionality lacking from the core that you end up installing lots of plugins, thereby slowing down your site. Take commenting for example, WordPress blogs suffer from spam so badly that you need to install Akismet right off the bat. Then you need to install at least one additional plugin to reduce spam, whether it be to add a CAPTCHA field or trick bots into thinking they have completed all fields.</p>
<p>Many people have turned to third-party commenting systems to address this, though they are not always ideal either. So, like many people, I have started using Jetpack for my comments. It works great, but using that plugin means that I a need to install many other things that I do not want installed.</p>
<p>The same thing can be said about security. I have had a few of my blogs infected with malware over the last year so I now install security plugins on every WordPress website I own. It would be better if WordPress tackled this problem head on and make the product more secure. I understand that WordPress is always going to be targeted more than other platforms due to its popularity, though when it comes to the point of needing to install anti-spam and anti-malware plugins every time they use WordPress, you need to step back and think about whether the core product needs to be upgraded.</p>
<p>Today, I have over a dozen plugins that I install on every website. I review the plugins I have installed regularly, though a quick check on my personal blog shows that I have 37 activated plugins. Many of these plugins address problems with other plugins or problems with the core. For example, I have&nbsp;Manual Control for Jetpack to stop the Jetpack plugin automatically enabling new modules they add and I have&nbsp;WP Missed Schedule installed to stop WordPress not publishing my articles on time (and never sending me an email to notify me of this).</p>
<p>Last but not least, I think that WordPress is starting to look dated in some respects. Without doubt it is functional, but along the way it has lost its style. I use the WordPress iOS app regularly and it works great, however accessing WordPress through my browser seems clunky at times.</p>
<p>WordPress has become the number one content management system in the world, though I think there is a danger of it losing its title as the best blogging platform. New blog platforms such as SquareSpace and Ghost are simplifying the whole process of blogging and allowing people to focus more on content instead of worrying about spam, viruses and configuring cache plugins.</p>
<p>Competition is good and I hope that WordPress can take the best features of these new platforms and integrate it into their own platform.</p>
<p><strong>Anything you&#8217;d like to say to the entire WordPress community?</strong></p>
<p>I would encourage people to support plugin and theme developers where they can; whether it be telling others of their good work, making a donation or upgrading to their premium products. That being said, I also think WordPress users are allowed to be critical, even of those who release products for free. As a content producer, I understand why many developers get touchy about criticism, though it is essential to their products, and WordPress as a whole, getting better.</p>
<p>So be supportive and be critical about something if you need to be, though make sure you are polite and professional when you do so. Those who complain for the sake of complaining deserve to be ignored :)</p>

There were at least two themes hosted on the ThemeForest marketplace that were bundling commercial WooThemes plugins along with a copy of GravityForms. Those themes have been <a title="http://themeforest.net/forums/thread/bundling-premium-gpl-plugins-on-themeforest-themes/100141" href="http://themeforest.net/forums/thread/bundling-premium-gpl-plugins-on-themeforest-themes/100141">temporarily hidden from view by ThemeForest</a> until they comply with revised guidelines. This is a great article filled with a number of great points but the comments are just as good.</p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s Just A Bad Idea</strong> &#8211; Bundling plugins with themes is already a bad practice but when those plugins have a commercial nature to them and need API access keys to work properly, it becomes an incredibly bad idea.</p>
<p><strong>Support Nightmare</strong> &#8211; I love the infinite loop for support described by Coen so much, I&#8217;m just going to paste it here as it clearly illustrates how bad it can be for users to get support.</p>
<ol>
<li>The author of the plugin is WooThemes. “They should help me, right?”</li>
<li>Wrong, they can’t help you. You haven’t purchased the plugin from WooThemes, so they can’t support you. This is not just because you haven’t purchased it from them, but they also have no way of knowing what’s been done with the code. This makes it virtually impossible to support the code.</li>
<li>The WooThemes support crew will probably tell you to ask the theme author.</li>
<li>The theme author has no real ways of supporting the plugins they bundle with the theme, simply because they didn’t write the plugin.</li>
<li>The initial response of the theme author is often to contact the author of the plugin. Resume these steps at #1, infinite loop!</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>GPL</strong> &#8211; People are still confused when they see a theme or plugin licensed under the <a title="http://wordpress.org/about/gpl/" href="http://wordpress.org/about/gpl/">GPL</a> and then see licenses that specify the number of websites the plugin can be used on. Being licensed under the GPLv2 means the code is freely available and can be modified or redistributed. During the checkout process, if the word <em>restrict</em> is in the description it generates <em>red flags</em>. It&#8217;s important to note that most commercial GPL theme/plugin licenses deal strictly with how many sites will be supported by them based on which support license you buy. In some instances such as GravityForms, you&#8217;re not only purchasing a support license, but also an API access key that provides access to updates and other functionality. The API aspects of GravityForms have nothing to do with GPL. As <a title="http://coenjacobs.me/en/dont-buy-bundled-premium-plugins/#comment-9401" href="http://coenjacobs.me/en/dont-buy-bundled-premium-plugins/#comment-9401">Carl Hancock points out</a>, look at Akismet, VaultPress, or WordPress.com as good examples of plugins that are GPL but the features they offer are through an API/service which is not accessible because it&#8217;s a software as a service model.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s important to note that redistributing any themes or plugins licensed under the GPL commercial or not for free or for a price is completely within the confines of the license as long as proper attribution is maintained and the copyright notice is left in tact. What the two themes on ThemeForest were doing was not illegal.</p>
<p><strong>Abuse Of The Unlimited Sites License</strong> &#8211; This is an interesting one. Using GravityForms as an example, if you buy the unlimited sites option, you&#8217;ll have support for unlimited sites, support multi-site, have unlimited forms, unlimited entries, 1 year of updates, etc. <a title="http://coenjacobs.me/en/dont-buy-bundled-premium-plugins/#comment-9296" href="http://coenjacobs.me/en/dont-buy-bundled-premium-plugins/#comment-9296">According to Simone</a>, team leader of Your Inspiration Themes, they had purchased a Developer License granting them the ability to install GravityForms on an unlimited amount of sites. They were bundling GravityForms with their themes but in order for customers to receive upgrades, they would push out a new theme update which included the newest version of GravityForms.</p>
<p>I have to give Simone credit for coming up with a somewhat creative way of being able to offer GForms updates without their theme customers needing to have an individual access key. However, because of how GravityForms works, they have the ability to turn off keys if they discover they  are used in such a way that <a title="http://www.gravityforms.com/terms-and-conditions/" href="http://www.gravityforms.com/terms-and-conditions/">violates their TOS</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Not Getting What You Paid For</strong> &#8211; According to Simone, by bundling plugins like GForms in their themes, they are offering value. In reality, the are offering headaches. The following paragraph in Simone&#8217;s response is important to take note of.</p>
<blockquote><p>Keep in mind that we are not re-selling the plugins and above all we don’t provide key licenses to our customers. When an update of those plugins is released, we will as soon as possible release a new theme update with the new version of the plugin. We know how important is to keep updated the WordPress installation.</p></blockquote>
<p>When customers buy their themes, they&#8217;re not actually buying the plugins that are bundled with them. If that&#8217;s the case, why bother bundling the plugins at all? The only conclusion I can come to is that they are ripping off GravityForms and others while providing so called value to their customers.</p>
<h2>Conclusion:</h2>
<p>I hope YIT and ThemeForest have both learned their lesson in this ordeal. ThemeForest needs to tighten up its theme reviewing process. YIT needs to remove the commercial plugins until they can strike a unique reseller deal with both GForms and WooThemes. Since Simone claims their themes sold well without having any plugins, I hope they remove them because the overall practice of bundling plugins with themes is stupid.</p>

The <a title="http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy" href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy">original diagram</a> is located on the Codex and while it provides a graphical representation as to how Templates work within WordPress, it&#8217;s not pretty. I remember in 2008 when Michael Castilla took the original concept and simply <a title="http://wpcandy.com/teaches/wordpress-template-hierarchy-diagram/" href="http://wpcandy.com/teaches/wordpress-template-hierarchy-diagram/">added some style</a> to it. A few years later, Chip Bennett <a title="http://www.chipbennett.net/themes/template-hierarchy/wordpresstemplatehierarchy-rev-8/" href="http://www.chipbennett.net/themes/template-hierarchy/wordpresstemplatehierarchy-rev-8/">added detailed information</a> to the diagram. Just last month, <a title="http://wpdaily.co/wp-template-hierarchy-chart/" href="http://wpdaily.co/wp-template-hierarchy-chart/">Michelle created</a> a colorful version of the diagram.</p>
<p>That brings us to the current day where Rami Abraham has taken Michelle&#8217;s colorful design and has not only been given its <a title="http://wphierarchy.com/" href="http://wphierarchy.com/">own domain name</a>, but has also made it interactive.</p>

<p>The core information remains the same but now if you click on any one of the various parts of the diagram, it will take you to the appropriate Codex page. Between the various diagrams and the Codex, there is no way of <strong>not</strong> knowing what goes on within the WordPress template process.</p>
<p>Which template hierarchy resource do you find the most useful?</p>
