$50 Jez at Jexweb Pty Ltd.

I've been testing out some sales report plugins for woocommerce this week and a couple of the suitable I'm trialing for a client are Ni WooCommerce Sales Report which has neat, printable data tables in the WordPress dashboard and WooCommerce Simply Order Export which you can use to setup automatic sales report summary emails. This donation is on behalf of Earth Anchor Systems, a Jezweb client that has created an innovative way to build garden retaining walls quickly and cheaply: https://www.earthanchorsystems.com.au/

Thanks to all donors who came in under $50

You can now donate though Patreon at http://patreon.com/wppluginsatoz where you can donate on a monthly basis. As an incentive if you donate $40 a month you will gain access to the exclusive plugin tutorial videos on how to setup and use the plugins we review and use.

John’s Rant: What to rant about?

Make sure you checkout the WPSupport store. where you can get direct access to some of the best plugins we have reviewed located all in one place. We do not host the plugins but provide the link to download it direct from WordPress.org or the plugin developer, and they may occasionally have an affiliate link but not too often since that adds a whole new layer of work to what I have to do.

For developers who find value in what I am doing here please donate that value back to the show.

Already responsible for more than one million website defacement and attempts to monetize some of those attacks, the flaw also opens the door to a separate attack.
Researchers at Sucuri who found the original bug on Monday disclosed details on how it could be leveraged to pull off a stored cross-site scripting attack.

not guilty listener
value ruined by begging    This used to be a good podcast, before the hosts became resentful of the audience who does not donate money. Now a good percentage of the podcast seems to be devoted to ranting and threatening to cancel the thing … and ironically from a consultant on how to run a paid membership site. Sorry … I'm moving on.

The Lowdown:
This plugin allows you to add notes to each plugin so you can know what each plugin is for this is a gret way to be able to keep track of why you installed a plugin since many time the name for the plugin is not real clear on its use.

The Lowdown:
If you are looking for a way to add social share icons to your posts/pages this plugin may help in that task. Although when I went to test it it seems the plugin is incomplete in several areas and has some theme incompatibilities  When I tried on one of my test sites it cause header errors but worked fine on my other test site. All in all not too bad but still a work in progress.
