WordPress 7.0 changes, FluentCart updates, Divi 5 course, AI Website mistakes, GEO metrics, 7-Eleven, RIP social media and feeding Aztecs. I made the decision when FluentCart was released for it to be a major part of our business and an important tool for eCommerce sites we build for clients. So loyal readers have noted we include details on FluentCart updates along with other news. I recently completed migration of two of our own sites to FluentCart and I’ll write a post about that process in the near future. We still have two more sites to migrate and those will come in the months ahead. Make sure to check out all of this week’s news below.
For those of you in the world of Web design, I invite you to join our new Divi Unleashed Facebook group.
