So this release of Easy Digital Downloads – Taxamo Integration will be the final one released under it’s current guise. The release number – 1.6.2 – fixes a small bug (which is detailed below). Why Discontinue It? In short, it is a bit of a time suck. The plugin was made basically as an internal…
Recently I’ve been working on getting a presentation ready for WordPress Leeds. Unlike previous presentations I make, this one has been prepared well in advance, with me taking advantage of Cyprus airports’ generous WiFi hotspots and also pool time. The presentation is on Aesop Story Engine, a plugin I discovered fairly recently thanks to working…
Recently I’ve been busy most Monday evenings preparing for WordCamp Manchester, and we’re happy to announce that we’re good to go! The conference is held in the MMU Business School on 10th October, and the tickets – which include lunch and a t-shirt with the logo (you can read more about the logo here) –…
So over the weekend just gone I attended the WP Sheffield hack day, which was the first time I’d been to that event. It’s just that little bit far for me to attend on a school night, but I was more than happy to go to an event over the weekend, as I have a little bit more…
Recently I was approached by Tim Nash with an intriguing proposition: starting a WordPress Podcast. It was something that I’ve wanted to do for a while. I’m an avid podcast listener as a huge fan of various podcasts that surround my interests, and it would be good to try and make one to try and…
Today we’re excited to announce Winwar Media partnership with Manchester United, as their Official Not-at-all-official WordPress Developer for The Area of South Manchester The Owner Lives In.

Last weekend, WordCamp London 2015 took place in the London Metropolitan University. It was a three day event with a contributor day on the Friday, and WordCamp over the Saturday and Sunday. This was a top notch event, with some great learning and takeaways across all three tracks. The after party as well was great…
This weekend, I will be attending WordCamp London. Say hi! My name is Rhys, I’m a WordPress plugin developer, occasional speaker, even more occasional author, Wales Rugby & Liverpool Football fan (so if I appear very distracted during lunch on Saturday & Sunday, apologies) and a very good hugger. This is my 5th WordCamp, previously…
In the 1.5 version of eBay feeds for WordPress, we added a Debug Mode. This was quite a big step for us, as it hopefully allowed us to identify problems that occur with the plugin quicker and easier. It’s probably no surprise to learn that 90% of the problems occur between the plugin and the…
Earlier on this week I spoke at WordPress Leeds about Sublime Text 2, an extensible text editor for Windows, Mac & Linux. I talked about how I have set it up for WordPress Development, as well as some of my most used Snippets and Plugins. The talk appeared to go well to a great crowd – even…
