We ran into an issue where a valid mp4 video file was being rejected with “Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons.” during upload into the media library. No amount of cajoling could get WordPress to accept the file. Enter “Lord of the Files” plugin. It not only increases security for uploaded …
We started to doubt a customer’s sanity when they said that they were seeing name and address information already populated in their WooCommerce checkout. Even weirder, it was contact information for somebody else. Come to find out that their default hosting options had aggressive caching running and the site was caching every page, including these …
Does your WordPress WooCommerce site keep saying enter address, while address has been entered already? You’ve probably used Checkout Field Editor to disable the country input field and are now confusing WooCommerce when it’s trying to process the order The validation message “Please enter an address to continue” normally shows when you are trying to …
We absolutely love where WordPress is going with Gutenberg, but on a recent project we discovered that there’s currently one glaring absence in the list of blocks: The ability to lay out a grid of content. Enter GenerateBlocks. A clean, fast, minimal set of blocks that allow you to create incredibly flexible responsive grids. Unlike …
Need to clean out a product file? Old crusty sale prices sitting around from 6 years ago? Run these mysql commands to make the nothing but a faint memory: DELETE FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key = ‘_sale_price’;DELETE FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key = ‘_sale_price_dates_to’;DELETE FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key = ‘_sale_price_dates_from’; As with all database manipulation. Make sure …
We can’t believe it’s been over 9 years since our original “Low Cost or Free Stock Photography sites“. It’s definitely time to update it. After all these years, we’re still using Deposit Photos, but we’ve added a few more low-cost image repositories. Yay Images has become indispensable to us over the last year, and we’ve …
To start with. You can’t. Not directly, anyway. There is no “drop table prefix_%;”, so stop looking. This seems to be the easiest workaround that we’ve found based on information shared here. So here’s how we did it. For reference, anywhere a word or a phrase is wrapped in greater than / less than signs, …
We love SVG files at Website Psychiatrist. Once you go to vector graphics, you’ll never want to go back to raster for logos and layouts. Problem is, WordPress, for security reasons, won’t allow SVG files to be uploaded. So if you wanted to use them, you’d have to manage them outside of WordPress. No more! …
We have a customer where all of their items are variable products. As you can imagine, there ends up being requests to change sizes, colors, or other variations. Once they’ve paid for the order, the status of the order gets set to “Processing” and WooCommerce won’t let you edit that order. Thanks to Nicola Mustone’s …
This definitely goes in the category of “Future Problems”. We don’t have anybody that would have need of this, but it sure looks like a very interesting plugin. From the WordPress plugin page: WP Document Revisions is a document management and version control plugin. Built for time-sensitive and mission-critical projects, teams can collaboratively edit files of any format — …
