If you’ve been around the WordPress world for awhile, you’ve no doubt heard about the WishList Member plugin. If you haven’t heard of it before, here’s the skinny…it’s simply the best and most feature rich WordPress membership plugin available (in my opinion that is).

As I promised in my previous post, I’ve created a video tutorial on my personal site that shows how to configure the Slideshow Plugin. The name is a bit generic as far as Slideshow plugins for WordPress go, so let me be clear. This is a
If you’re subscribed to my feed by RSS or email, you may be surprised to hear from me. My last post here was close to seven months ago. There are few reasons for my absence, all of them good. The short story is that life is happening and I’ve been enjoying it (see bottom of [...]
I’ve recently became aware of the “Secondary HTML Content” plugin for WordPress, and after having a quick look at the description, I still wasn’t quite sure what exactly it was supposed to do.

We all know that you can add a sticky post to the index page right? Have you ever wanted to do the same with a category archive page? One way is to create your own category page template and code in a custom loop, but that’s not really “user-friendly” for most WordPress users. As good [...]
I just came across this Paypal shopping cart plugin and thought I’d share for two reasons. First, because of all the eCommerce and Paypal plugins available, sometimes you just need something simple…and this is it. Second, because I’m not publishing this post from the normal WordPress backend. I’m testing something very cool! More on that [...]
I am working on a website redesign project for a company that has a need to display several thousand products on their site.

This is the sixth post in my series about using video with WordPress. Today we’ll focus on some plugins and a couple of themes that help to display video on your WordPress-powered site.

I’ve written about my favorite WordPress forum plugin previously on the posts Do You Need a Simple WordPress Forum? and Simple WordPress Forum Plugin – Revisited. I’ve just received an update on the progress of the upcoming latest release and there are some really cool features that will be included. From the Simple:Press site:

One of our WP Pro Business clients recently went through a redesign in anticipation for her book release. We moved her to the Genesis framework and implemented a customized version of the Crystal child theme. She needed custom fonts on her site in order to match the design of her book cover.

I was browsing through the WordPress.org support forums today and came across a question by a user who was creating an image grid on a page. There was a border around the table he created and it wasn’t clear on how to remove it. Here’s how I found what was causing the border and how [...]
Creating contact forms in WordPress has been relatively easy with the availability of many different form making plugins. However, creating advanced forms that include features like letting users upload files, creating multiple page forms, etc. while still allowing you (or your clients) to create these inside an easily usable interface, can be a bit difficult.

I’m delighted to announce the release of the Hide Widget Title plugin.

Not long ago I wrote an article targeted toward business owners and new bloggers detailing a checklist of what to consider before starting to build a website. That website checklist was sparked by the experiences I often have when performing freelance project work for clients. It was meant to be a reference tool for those [...]
As I wrote in a previous tutorial, adding an Amazon store to your WordPress website is best accomplished (in my opinion) by using Associate-O-Matic. Just to be clear, this is not a plugin. It is a standalone script that you install on your server. However, there is a WordPress plugin that integrates with this script [...]
