Connected Internet: WordPress Blog Housekeeping

  • Mathew · 2 years ago
    Being judicious about which plugins you use is an important one - I used a bunch on one of my sites - including WPcache - then one day the site gets dugg. And guess what? the plethora of plugins i was using were conflicting with each other, WPcache wasn't working and my server dies within 3 minutes of being frontpaged. Given my profession, this was rather embarrassing.

    I advise you not to use a lot of plugins at the same time because they may conflict with each other and cause undesired errors or behaviors! This happened to me personally but if you can take control over them then no problem.

    There's a commercial plugin that costs $97 and automatically tags your new posts at most blog engines. It was helpful at first- until I discovered it truncated every single post I made! Literally deleted the second half.

    Be careful what you install. Even paid software.

    A timely reminder that I need to do some housekeeping on my blogs. I looked at the plugins installed on one of them the other day and wondered WTF half of them did. Seems I'd installed them on a bit of a whim and never got round to removing them...

    Some good advice here, it's all a bit like back things up - I know I should really do it more often, but I never seem to get round to it - *note to self* "make more time for these things!"
