(Quote) Not 100% sure what you mean. "Plugged" as in "censored?" They listed some popular plugins that have problems. They noted the problems are fixed with patches (so no false alarms for the users who have updated, that's fair…

On the bright side, from what I could tell, the problems were fixed with updates. :)

(Quote) (Image) Sorry, couldn't resist. :) On a more serious note - it is an industry trend worth noting. Here's another example - Ocean WP + Cloudways: https://oceanwp.org/blog/partnering-with-cloudways/ Also, in terms of time ~ money, as @Mi…

Yes, as @Ympker and @willie have noted above, it's about making money, of course, with questionable benefits for an average LES member. Of course, being WordPress-related, it's good that @vyas shared the info here. This looks like an industry-wide…

(Quote) I asked on a WP for Business FB group about this. The consensus seems to be that they've done similar things before, "with good reasons," and that it's perfectly fine. Full support. I certainly had no idea until now that they (can…

(Quote) Exactly.

Does this mean WP can also do other changes - like removing articles, and/or bringing the whole sites down if they decide it's the right thing to do? Not asking whether "they'd (never, sure) do that," but whether they can, whether they're…
-
That's not good. Is there a way of preventing WordPress from doing stuff without approval?
-
If the provider allows it, I prefer configuring backups independently from WordPress. That is, not having WordPress (try to) back itself up using yet another not really necessary plugin. Having said that, on several occasions I have used the All-in…
-
(Quote) Not sure about the legal stuff. But there are other ways to market a product (word of mouth, website articles etc.). An idea: Not sure how complicated it is to make the plugin "expandable" - to include fonts as required. Or to hav…
-
Ympker - thank you for putting in the effort and sharing. Now, for the bad and ugly - with the intent to help the improvement, not to put you down: Read about the WordPress plugin guidelines. Try to do it by the book and have the plugin in the Wo…

(Quote) Works. Cool. :) Choosing an existing box from the robot console, and clicking on "Change storage box" gets the "upgrade" done in a second after you've picked the option you want. :)
-
(Quote) A refreshing change in the light of all the prices going drastically up over the past few years (industry-wide). :) Existing storage boxes are remaining the same, or should I just give it some time? (have a 500 MB box and it still says 500…

(Quote) Yup - that app looks like it.

There used to be a Windows "app" that synced Gdrive to a local directory. I used to use it. It used to work. Haven't tried for years, so can't confirm. Not sure if it's still available.

(Quote) Had to spoil it, didn't you? :)
-
CDN should use the closest available server, right? So, visitors from the EU would get the content served from an EU location anyway, no? :)

(Quote) JetBackup doesn't seem to play very well with DirectAdmin (couldn't get it to work for off-site storage with a reseller hosting account). So I use (S)FTP, and find it to be quite convenient (prefer it to any web-browser interface). Feedbac…

As expected... German Court Rules Websites Embedding Google Fonts Violates GDPR (thehackernews .com link)

(Quote) Colour me stupid/conservative (and correct me if I'm wrong), but I prefer having someone more competent taking care of the security and similar, while I can just use the storage. Unmanaged VPS or a dedi can be cheaper in terms of money, but…

(Quote) Hi Katie, Thanks for looking into this. As far as I'm concerned Hetzner Box storage is very good. Upload speed from servers (when doing backups) seems super fast, and that's what's most important IMO. Just wanted to confirm I'm not doing …
-
(Quote) Do you have a better recommendation? For automated storage of DirectAdmin hosting accounts, JetBackup doesn't seem to work well with Backblaze B2 for example, so I switched to Storage Box and that works fine - and it is a lot faster for any…

(Quote) Rebranded - I fixed the link, but didn't edit every mention in the article. As for the exposure - I use HTTPS and SSH for most work, uploads, downloads etc. I also use a silly domain (some-string.some-tld), with a silly subdomain (string.s…
-
I don't develop new sites on a regular basis - so keep that in mind. I usually do it on a hosting server. It makes it easier for me to work on the site wherever I am, it makes it easier to collaborate, and I can see how it works on a hosting server…
-
(Quote) From what I could tell, without exact measuring, server backups get uploaded very, very fastly. :) That's what I use 99.99 % of the time. Weekly, I download the backups from Hetzner to my local HDD storage - but that can be done overnight,…
-
(Quote) For all I could tell, SSH gives similar results. Haven't tried any other methods for moving the files to and from my home PC. It's not a problem, not draggingly slow, gets the job done, just wanted to check if there is something I could do …
