We've been hosting various WordPress installs on the same server, as well as subdomain and subfolder multisites on nginx, but I had to fix a new subsite on a WordPress install that included another WordPress instance as a subfolder.
The scenario was related to a large WordPress setup with bbPress that had to be split up for performance and ...
I spent some time with Jeff from The Marketology Group for his podcast Mr Marketology discussing the WordPress world and best practices.
Don't mind the small "P" in WordPress, other than that it was a great chat and it reminded me again how many basic bits from the WordPress ecosystem aren't obvious to people outside of our community. I've ...
I built DX Plugin Base several years ago as a general plugin framework that we could use internally, and something that could serve as a code repository for most of our projects. I'm really happy that some folks got the plugin and built their own reusing most of our code, such as the Metwit Weather Widget.
Since we hired a few more folks h...
End of 2014 was a turning point in my life, and I have been thinking a lot about my contributing efforts for a while now.
About a year ago I was teaching at a university, a school, co-organizing WordCamp Europe 2014 and a meetup, spoke at various conferences and meetings for free as well, contributed patches to plugins (plus free plugin...
Today WP Tavern announced that BackPress is coming back from the dead.

Given the large number of WordPress-based discussions on pricing, costs, consultant's fees and product licenses, it's no wonder why some people get frustrated about the Community and the understanding of Open Source.
Other than the mentality and the usual incompetent statements such as: "But WordPress is free!" or "There should be a free ...
I often receive referrals or friends asking me to set up a WordPress website for them.
It's usually something fairly small - such as a 5-page business website or a simple magazine website.
They are close friends of mine or have been recommended through my network.
They have received some offers, but are looking for a reliable solutio...
While discussing the WordPress industry and the rest of the business world, my friend Ajay reminded me of why "WordPress Expert" is not a real title.
His comment made me think about the misconception of "expertism" that seems to be getting popularity around the WordPress experts who offer their services:

After I shared my thoughts on WordPress job titles and skills and wrote about various problems with various WordPress estimates, I keep reading comments about our industry and other fields - different IT specialties, automobile mechanics, doctors and more.
In general, whilst WordPress is a fairly unique and great platform with a powerful...
