Apparently after 2 office hours a consensus has been reached in terms of the new look of post revisions, as reported by Erick Hitter. It’s neat to see the slider with previous / next coming into play as this is a much different approach than our current implementation. They are still working on the UI for comparing two different revisions:
Behind the Scenes: The Miso Mister
As the team starts creating their own unique work environments in the new office we’re bringing in personal items that will help us do our best work. I, for one, have allergies like no one’s business, especially during this season and it’s driving me literally insane. As a result, I have a bunch of water misters and humidifiers at home that I use. But, I didn’t want to embarrass myself by bringing in one of my epic frog humidifiers so I haven’t been sure what to do. Luckily my wife has come through and found me a cute portable one:
Creative Market Goes GPL, UpThemes, Themify
The Creative Market, a very neat looking marketplace that has a very Etsy-like feel to it, has announced that they are in full compliance with the GPL moving from their original single license called SimpleLicense. But it wasn’t GPL compatible which had lead to some changes: But we also recognize that not all products on Creative Market are alike, especially when it comes to WordPress themes. That’s why starting today, all WordPress themes sold on Creative Market will come with a 100% GPL license. WordPress itself was built on (and would not have been possible without) the GPL license, which works to ensure rights […]
More WordCamps Going Live in March
March is quickly approaching and with it come three WordCamps: Atlanta, Copenhagen and San Diego!
WP Daily Does The Harlem Shake

RankWP: Alternative Plugin Directory
An alternative directory of plugins you say? Yikes! Well, it’s launching tonight at the NYC WordPress meetup officially. Apparently it’ll be the first directory of sorts that makes the actual usage data, at least via Bostjan Spetic who shared this news with us. The plans is that it’ll include a “superb” search engine that’ll help you find the best plugin for the job. It’s a completely independent and not-for-profit project.
Hosting: We Need More Transparency, Education
It’s come to the forefront again as more than a few services that power WordPress sites specifically have experienced some downtime in the last week. As Jason Cohen from WP Engine rightly states, 100% uptime is “perfection unattainable”: Nobody wants downtime, and customers who are paying for a hosting solution have a right to ask and be informed about a company’s history of downtime. In particular, people want to know who has the least uptime, or if there is a company that has achieved 100% uptime. The reality is that 100% uptime, while the goal that every company sets its […]
JELLY! Work at WP Daily Day: March 14th!
We’re excited that in less than a month from now we’ll be having our epic Atlanta-based WordCamp, which is going to be just a few blocks away from WP Daily’s editorial offices. We couldn’t be more stoked – and registration is now available. The tickets are going pretty fast so you’ll want to make sure you get your soon.
VaultPress: Unique Keys, Salts, and Security
The guys over at VaultPress have been busy with two updates recently that you may want to take note of, the first being the fact that the system now alerts you of missing unique keys and salt strings in your wp-config.php file. For the uninitiated your unique and salt keys are specifically built to help increase security of your site installation. What they do essentially is help encrypt the information stored in your visitor’s cookies. You can actually use an auto-generator to create these as well if you self-host your blog, although a set should be auto-generated for you on […]
