WordPress NYC Community

Hi Andre,

We used the BP Ajax Registration and Branded Login plugins for a couple of client sites.

Ajax registration can be accessed site-wide and worked well.

The Auto Login re-direct plugin also seems […]

1. Andrew covered this.

2. Take a look at the Minimum theme configured as sidebar/content/sidebar, http://demo.studiopress.com/minimum/layouts/scs

That’s about as close as you’ll get with an off-the-shelf […]

Yes, it’s user-registration spam. Activate the Aksimet plugin and do the following:

- Turn off user registrations: Settings General – Membership – un-check “Anyone can register” – Save Changes.

Above is […]

WP-Ecommerce sucks big time!

Despite Michael’s experiences so far, I highly recommend you use almost anything other than WP-Ecom.

Over the last several years my company has migrated more than three-dozen […]

Go with the SSL and IP (you must have the IP to use the SLL, it’s not optional).

You can buy the cheapest SSL, no need for anything more.

You should also run your WP admin on the SLL.

HIGHLY recommend […]

Yes, manually re-install all WP core files via FTP and create a new mySQL d-base.

I’ve sent you an email with details on what you should and should not migrate.

Need more information. Better still would be access to the site or a phone call. PM your info and/or call me and I’ll take a look.

Hi Vincent,

It depends on the specific child theme you’re using. We’ve had good results with WPTouch, http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wptouch/ …just not in every case.

Touch offers pretty good […]

I’ve been doing SEO professionally since 1998 (can easily prove it).

IMHO you’ll get far more benefit from getting back-links than spending time on micro-data.

At best you “may” get a 3-5% boost […]

What are you trying to achieve with the micro-data?

Explain why it’s important.

Import the back-up to a clean WP installation somewhere else and see what you have.

Be very careful of “machine” translations, which is what language plugins are. Far better to have pages translated by a person from the target country or region.

A few years ago we developed a large site that […]

That’s not a WordPress site however, the slideshow appears to be straight HTML (no jquery or javascript). Looks more complex to reproduce in WP than the gallery on Zoereport.

Looks like that page is using some type Lightbox. Hand coding was involved either way:

- May have been built from scratch using http://lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/ or another jquery code.

- Could be […]
