    Its always good to backup ALL files possible to your own external hd. Bluehost does backups as far as I know. I mean I had an issue about a month and a half ago and they were able to restore everything to the last backup they had which was maybe 24 hours prior. But definitely [...]

    If you are looking for shared hosting, I personally like Bluehost. Have been with them for about 4 years and overall are ok. Experience has taught me that there is NO perfect shared hosting solution. I have had to manage many different accounts from different hosts over the last 6+ years and there is always [...]

    I am using Genesis 1.5 + News theme + WP 3.1.

    We launched a site a few weeks ago and I have been tweaking as I go to add features. The last thing I did a few days ago was add the AdRotate Plugin, because Bannerize plugin was a bit glitchy for some reason and ads weren’t appearing in sidebar widget areas consistently.

      I recommend you contact the StudioPress team…. maybe there’s a plugin conflict.

      The link is hardcoded incorrectly. It should be /category/CATEGORY-SLUG

      To find the category slug, go here and click EDIT on the ”Shop Collection” category

    Do you think this is a glitch relating to the upgrade from 3.0.2 to 3.0.3? I don’t remember this behavior ever before.

      Hi Krista– a few questions:
      1) What function are you using to generate your nav menu?
      2) When you update your permalink structure is .htaccess being updated? Sometimes server restrictions are so tight that it cannot be updated automatically.

    I started with Shopp and got nowhere really quick. Then I took Dana’s suggestion and decided to give PHPurchase a whirl.

      Hey Krista,

      How are you? Glad it’s worked out. I’m going t be using it in an upcoming project too. I think for gateways it’s always tricky. But they have a few options on there and from what I’ve seen Quantum seems to be the most cost effective. But Authorize & PayPal have many options too. Depends on what the clients wants.

      Good luck…[Read more]
