B2B Social Marketing
Social media marketing is usually not as important for business-to-business (B2B) businesses because most of their customers find them through word-of-mouth or a lot of online searching. Many B2Bs are also in ‘dry’ or serious businesses that don’t work well with pictures. But a social media marketing plan can still help your bottom line in […]
Using Meta Tags In Images
Because search engines mainly rely on the text linked with an image to comprehend its content, using meta tags on images is crucial for SEO. Search engines may more precisely index photos when they are properly tagged, which can increase a website’s visibility and ranking on search engine results pages (SERPs). In essence, meta tags […]
Code School: Woo Shipping Per Product Count Script
Here’s a little snippet that has been useful for woocommerce development. This regulates shipping charges from a simple fee based system to a fee per quantity output.

Adding a Fee in Woocommerce

Boy life sure would be easy if WordPress used relative URL’s throughout the menu and post content but that simply isn’t going to happen, they’ve made that clear. Changing the URL in the admin Settings would then be all you need to do, making moving installations a breeze. Not the case, we should stop crying […]
Woocommerce Products Per Page
Interestingly Woocommerce does not seem to have a default setting for ‘products per page’. Unsurprisingly, there’s a simple workaround. Add to your functions.php Replace “28” with whatever number you want. add_filter( ‘loop_shop_per_page’, create_function( ‘$cols’, ‘return 28;’ ), 20 );
WordPress Email Issues
Every now and again we run into issues with WordPress where the email functionality has stopped working. This is usually the result of corrupted core files and/or plugin conflicts. Easy enough to fix: disable plugins or upload a fresh copy of the software and you’re good to go. There are those times though that it […]
Answerhub versus WordPress
Recently we worked on a project with intent to use AnswerHub as the primary vehicle for user interaction. After spending some time in AnswerHub’s admin we discovered that they don’t provide anything that you cannot accomplish with easy under the WordPress hood. While AH supplies you with a OSQA solution, WP gives you a full […]
