Finding the right webfont using a webfont preview

wordpress-webfontsWebfonts are great! With a new WordPress theme I’m setting up a lot of webfonts are predefined, 661 to be exact!

Pagina-kan-niet-worden-weergegeven page cannot be displayed (dutch)

Page cannot be displayed in Internet Explorer and Safari

Pagina-kan-niet-worden-weergegeven page cannot be displayed (dutch)I’m not sure whether it was caused by my recent upgrade from WordPress 3.9.x to 4.1, but I noticed a considerable drop in sales the day after the upgrade. After checking my website on my iPad I noticed I got the message “Page cannot be displayed” or actually since it’s a dutch website “Deze pagina kan niet worden weergegeven”.

Testing the WordPress upgrade

Since several components of my site were outdated I set-up an testing environment which is running with another hoster. I tested the website after updating a couple of plugins (17 updates were needed). Most did not cause any problems but most important was the woocommerce 2.2 update, and the update of my export tool (Store Exporter) since this is what I need for running my shop.  Continue reading Page cannot be displayed in Internet Explorer and Safari

Duplicate Wordpress-menu

WordPress Plugin: Duplicate Menu

Duplicate WordPress-menuAs I was testing some new themes I needed to change my main menu to 2 smaller menus. Since I wanted to refer back to my original them I did not want to edit my existing menu.

Creating 2 new menus from scratch (+/- 20 menu items) would cost quite some time. Evenually I found this small plugin and it is perfect for the job. Just install, activate and you can copy you existing menu to a new one which you then can edit to your needs.

Great small plugin, saved me a lot of time.

Exporting Browser history (Chrome)

I try to put most activities in my agenda but as I often browse and read up online it is for me also usefull to have a look at my browsing history. Although chrome does provide a browser history it is not very user friendly. Going back sevevaral weeks is a pain in the ass. Plus, sometimes I like to delete my history or reinstall my computer for example. Continue reading Exporting Browser history (Chrome)
