Updates Galore

Just a quick post to let people know about the updates now available for my various books and plugins. Basically the entire month of May was spent on plugin and book updates, so here is a quick summary of what’s new.

Free WordPress Plugins

All of my active WordPress plugins are updated with new features and current with WordPress version 4.2, here is a complete list:

• BBQ Firewall
• Contact Coldform
• GA Google Analytics
• Head Meta Data
• Show Support Ribbon
• Simple Ajax Chat
• Simple Contact Form
• Simple Blog Stats
• Simple Custom Content
• Simple Feed Stats
• User Submitted Posts

All of these plugins are free and open source; I use them on my own sites and make them available to the WordPress community as a way of giving something back. So THANK YOU to everyone who supports the work I do, either by purchasing my books, making a donation, or tweeting and sharing content on your favorite social-media sites. Your support is appreciated!

Premium WordPress Plugins

In addition to free plugins, I have a growing collection of Pro WordPress plugins:

• Banhammer Pro — Monitor and protect
• BBQ Pro — Blazing fast firewall
• Blackhole Pro — Block bad bots
• GA Pro — Add Google Analytics to WordPress
• SAC Pro — Create unlimited chat forms
• SES Pro — Simple email signup forms
• USP Pro — User-submitted posts

All plugins are regularly updated and current with the latest version of WordPress. You can purchase yearly/recurring licenses or lifetime deals that include free updates for the life of the plugin. So no need to fork out more cash every year just to renew the license. And the even better news? Now that I’ve completed this round of book and plugin updates, I have a chance to move forward again and develop some more Pro plugins! I have the perfect one in mind for the hot Summer months :)

Book Updates!

I love to write books, and editing and updating them is almost just as fun. Currently I have four books that are all freshly updated and current with all the latest software:

• Digging Into WordPress – book version 4.2
• The Tao of WordPress – book version 3.0
• .htaccess made easy – book version 1.5
• WordPress Themes In Depth – book version 1.2

This round of book updates includes a complete refresh of all hyperlinks (over 2,000 links in total), as well as updated material, revised content, fixed errata, and much more. You can check out a complete list of changes from each book’s homepage. And that reminds me..
