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 […]
CR2 File format fix – Adobe Bridge & Photoshop CS4 on Mac
Two whole days to work out a fix for Adobe Bridge not previewing my camera raw extension on my Canon 7D. I just recently switched form PC to Mac and had to buy a whole new version of Photoshop. CS4 is old but still works great! I don’t really believe in the cloud model of […]

Register.com is over priced and bad customer service
I typically buy my domains through GoDaddy but use a variety of different hosts. I have one domain that I was testing out the website and so I didn’t really want to spend the $12-$14 that a domain typically costs. Register.com was running a “special” I could get the domain for $2. What a deal, […]

Tons of people were freaking out about this and coined the term Mobilegeddon. There was so much hype and I even got scare […]
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.

2016 Wix.com Review
On October 14, 2015 Search Engine Land wrote an article that Google had dropped Wix.com pages out of their index. Google officially confirmed that they were working on getting Wix sites back into their search engine.

The Animation Website Design Trend
More and more web design companies are using these generic out of the box jquery animations. I am glad jquery and other libraries offer easy to use animation but it’s really getting out of control. The problem with any out of the box or premade template is that it’s generic, and usually not that great. […]
