WordPress Plugins live on, Divi 5 schedule, influencer marketing, balancing content, PNG, HEIC, Picastro, slop bowl and street food. I ran into a crazy issue last week when all of a sudden sites weren’t sending email. When I ran a test, the test claimed all was well but the email never arrived. No, it wasn’t going to the spam folder. After a lot of testing, it was discovered to be a plugin that had recently updated. In talking with the plugin developer, the functionality in question hadn’t been touched in the latest release. They did some more testing and implemented a fix. This made for a stressful 24 hours, but I’m glad a solution was found. What else happened in the web design world? Check out all the latest stories below.
