The scoop and word on the street is that Remi Corson, a very WordPress developer and blogger, is looking to release a free CRM (Customer Relationship Management) plugin with WordPress. If it’s anything close to what a few people have already asked then it could be a doozy of a plugin that could provide a lot of value for those who manage, invoice and bill clients and customers on the web. There’s already a huge existing market for CRM apps but only a few WordPress-powered solutions. Remi offered up some more context for what he’s building as well in a recent […]

Some may argue that 2013 is the year of the responsive WordPress design and I can see it from both sides but I can’t imagine that anyone would disagree that this is definitely the year of managed hosting for WordPress. The trend is nothing but up-and-to-the-right as more and more theme shops, individuals, and entrepreneurs are considering adding a hosted layer to their core offering and services. We’re keeping track of all of it here at WP Daily! We’re also trying to reach out to some of the key players and get their perspective on how they’ve seen the market […]

I was really disappointed to hear recently that one of our ThemeForest authors, Jake Caputo aka Designcrumbs, had been barred from supporting, speaking at, and volunteering at WordCamps. It’s been a couple of years since Envato itself was restricted from supporting these events. As a company I feel there are plenty of other ways we can still support the WordPress ecosystem beyond the official Camps – e.g. meetups, teaching, and so on. But in the intervening time, I was happy that our authors continued attending and speaking at WordCamps – which was great. Many, like Jake, are amongst the most […]

Ever bought a stationary bike the entire family was ecstatic about using, only to see it turn into an expensive clothes rack? Then a few years later you finally decide to get serious about it and start spinning? In WordPress Universe, post formats are like that bike. The main problem with post formats is that they make theme developers do a lot of guess work. If you search Post formats Codex page, you’ll find words could and may thirteen times (combined), should is there only once, not a perfect implementation of Decisions not Options principle. The whole idea behind post formats was to create a […]

According to Wikipedia.org, Cascading Style Sheets (aka CSS) has been around since December of 1996, so a whole lot of people know the basics of web design using CSS. WordPress was introduced in May of 2003, so almost as many people have heard of it, but a lot of people I talk to think it’s only a blog platform, so they dismiss it without learning about its power. So, what if you’ve decided to give WordPress a second look, but you don’t know all the details of building a theme from scratch, but do know a little something about CSS? […]

How’s everyone’s Tuesday? If it’s your first day back after the long weekend, I hope you had a productive one and got back into the groove. I unfortunately have not been able to, due to a sinus infection. Ugh. What’s the cure? Some newly pressed WordPress plugins. That’s what. I’ve got a fever. And the only prescription is more plugins. Seeing this list of new plugins brings a smile and makes me feel a bit better. How about you? Take a look at the list and let me know:
