Ranking your Wix website aka Wix SEO. How do you do it? Simple, ditch the Wix! Wix is not SEO friendly, it never has been and probably never will be. It would have to completely redevelop how the platform works. There is a lot of hype around Wix SEO, I have even seen companies offering […]

1999, huh?
So I just found out my laptop I bought refurbished in 2014 has a 1999 wifi card. WTF! It’s true. I have a laptop I bought way back when, refurbished for like $200. At the time it had windows 8 and a very good PC brand I have always favored Gateway. Yes, Gateway went out […]
Change State Name to Postal Abbreviation in WooCommerce
Changing the states names to abbreviations in Woocommerce is pretty easy. There are a couple references online that tell you how to do this but they don’t actually supply the whole list of states in their sample. This is for US states based on WooCoomerce 3.3.4, but should work for older versions. You can file […]
WP-CLI inside Docker container
So running wp-cli inside docker gives you a warning that you are running as root. For me I am running docker locally as a development server and running as root isn’t a concern as I am on a private secure network and it’s purely local development. So the default setup for Docker is to run […]

How I survived Mobilegeddon
It’s been 1 year 2 months and 2 days since Google announced it was going to rank websites that were responsive better than websites that weren’t responsive in their mobile search index.

WooCommerce Bulk Edit Sold Individually
MySQL way to bulk edit Sold Individually. So I had imported about 200 products into WooCommerce and accidentally set all of them to the sold individually setting.
