Posted by Raffael on Posted in Downloads, Test, Wordpress

WordPress2Doc - 1.2.8.5 ReleaseRound about 8 months ago, I release the last WordPress2Doc update. Some may have thought that the project has fallen asleep. But that is not the case.
There is always something going on/changing on the codebase (available on GitHub) and today there is also a new “real” release.
From now on WordPress2Doc is available in version 1.2.8.5. In addition to a new feature, the release also includes a bugfix (that fixes a problem with images coming from blogs with SSL / https support). So let’s do it quick today …
WordPress2Doc 1.2.8.5 – what is new?
The following points have changed/are new:

WordPress self-hosting – what has to be considered?

Posted by Raffael on Posted in Wordpress Tagged , ,

 
self-hosted-wordpressI’ve been working with WordPress for over 9 years now and have already created, set-up and driven some blogs at this time. My own blogs all run on their own vServer. But if a friend or one of my family circle says “I want to start a blog, can you help me with the installation?”, then the blog usually ends up on a webspace.
But which webspace package is suitable? What are the installation requirements for WordPress and can not you simply take a free provider? I would like to clarify these and other questions.
WordPress self-hosting or ready to take-off solution?
If I am asked what I would recommend to a beginner – host the blog himself or use a complete solution like wordpress.com – then my answer is always always hosting itself. (If you don’t […]

Wordpress klassichen Bildeditor wiederherstellen - Titelbild
The new 3.9 release of WordPress brought with it some new changes. Sadly, this time around at least one feature was removed, which is missed by quite a few people. Since WordPress 3.9 it’s impossible to edit borders or margins in the image editor.
This isn’t a huge problem for me personally, since I know how to set these properties manually in HTML. Still, this workaround isn’t always the best solution and editing HTML isn’t for every WordPress user. Solving this problem is going to be the topic of this article.
Activating the margin and border editing interface
At the moment, to be able to conveniently edit the borders and margins in the new version of WordPress you need a plugin. It’s called Advanced Image Styles and it’s available for free in the WordPress plugin repository. […]
