WordPress 12 Days of Christmas

With Christmas only a few days away, now is the time to reflect on the many nuggets of joy that WordPress has sprinkled over our lives. As well as the frustrations and the many, many things that can break on clients site, as well as the things that WordPress core updates can break.

Delete expired transients automatically on all of your MainWP connected child sites

What are transients are and why WordPress uses them WordPress uses transients to store data, that can be retrieved short-term from the options database table. But the problem ends up being when different plugins are using transients, but then not deleting that data when it has expired. It can cause performance issues over-time and cause the options database table to group. So ideally you would want to delete expired transients on any of the MainWP Child Sites you manage to improve performance. Delete Expired Transients Log into your MainWP Dashboard site Go to the MainWP > Plugins > Install page Search for Delete

7 Questions to ask before starting a WordPress site care business

If you are looking for easy money, then hop on down to Easy Street, where you can hang out with Miss Hannigan, Rooster, and Lily (remember Annie?). It didn’t work out so well for them. You remember, they tried to scam Daddy Warbucks’s out of the reward by pretending to be Annie’s missing parents? Every business is hard. My friends who run the coffee shop work long hours, but they love their job. My office building neighbor runs a lawn care service, and he works hard as well. What is satisfying is the reward you get for building a business. A

What you didn’t know about the MainWP WordPress Manager

What are some things you don’t know? Well, that is often hard to say, right? I mean, if we don’t know said fact, we don’t know that we don’t know. Still with me? There is a story going around on the interwebs that says Charlie Chaplin entered a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest. Funny thing, he came in third. Is this true?
