BackupBuddy

BackupBuddy

I recently switched servers which meant I had to move about three WordPress websites. I also had to move a client’s website from a development server to the live server. If you’ve ever had to do this for a WordPress website then you know how much of a hassle it can be and how many things could go wrong. I’ve moved about four WordPress websites over the past few years and it has always been a pain. But not anymore! It is much easier now that I’ve found this awesome plugin called BackupBuddy and it works great. Check it out!

WPMU DEV - The WordPress ExpertsI recently became a member of WPMU DEV. I wasn’t sure how it would help me so I signed up for a monthly subscription first. I was working on some WordPress websites and needed some technical assistance. I started posting on the WPMU DEV forums and all of the sudden, these experts were responding to me and answering my questions! All of the sudden it was like a had a team of people to consult with and provide valuable information quickly. They’ve already helped me save time on more than a few projects, so I decided to buy a full membership for a year. As a web designer/developer, this kind of support is a must! They don’t just offer support for their own products either. They will advise you on the best solution that meets your specific needs, even if it means using a plugin they didn’t develop…. although they do develop a lot of cool plugins. I even posted a small project and found a developer to help me out on a membership site.

If you are using WordPress or developing for WordPress, I would recommend that you try this out. Sign up for one month, just to see how useful it is. I think it’ll change your life… and make things a lot easier.
