  • Why Flexsider’s Carousel Demo with Dynamic Sizing Doesn’t Work

    I’ve scratched my head a few too many times to not post this (if only for my own reference). The ever amazing and rarely updated Flexslider from the folks at Woocommerce has a bug in one of the demos that doesn’t make it operate as intended. It’s the carousel with a dynamic number of elements…

  • Quickly replace WP Contact Form 7 Loading Gif (Updated)

    WPCF7 is an amazing contact form plugin. Its simplicity makes it great if you prefer to control all the elements of a sites design yourself.

  • Force Updates in WordPress

    If you manage many WordPress websites you’ll know the pains of keeping them up to date. Here are a few items you can add to your themes functions.php to force this process along.

    Pinterest’s Rich Pins are a great way for clients to link their shopping cart products more deeply with Pinterest. It allows additional information like price, availability and location to be attached to the pin.

    I seem to have recently gained a number of clients who were very keen for work to be completed due to bad communication with their previous developers. This usually meant that anything they’d ask for wouldn’t be received for some time. This raises a dilemma in that these clients almost always don’t have all the…

  • WordPress Metadata Media Naming

    A client of mine recently ran into a problem. He had a large number of professionally shot photography for his business.
