WordPress 7.0, semantic links, nested option presets, GoDaddy fail, Google click signals, Infowars logo, Instants and barbecue trail. I’ve been busy adding some new content to two different Web sites. An important plugin for those sites got updated last week and the update completely broke the functionality of the site. Even worse, the company who makes the plugin didn’t seem interest in providing support for their failed update. After several very stressful days, I was able to resolve the problem. But I certainly won’t trust future updates for that plugin. Make sure to check out the many stories in this week’s news listed below.
