News Blog: WordPress & Joomla Extensions

When starting a fresh website, we can agree that organizing media with folders is not a priority; It's usually more time for the website features, SEO and performance optimization. As the content is growing and as media represent a large part of it, this is when you'll start to search for better way to organize your media for various reasons like...

With the rise of websites like Patreon, content creation has moved away from text and accompanying media, and expanded into more creative material, such as images, comics, animations and videos. Just like you track your WordPress blog’s posts to see how different content resonates with your audience, so does it make sense to track your downloadable files.

WordPress is primarily a blogging website, but plugins like WP File Download extend its capabilities, allowing you to embed downloadable content and do more with your WordPress blog. In version 4.6, WP File Download gives you a dashboard to track your downloadable content right from WordPress.

More than anything, WordPress was created to make it easier for you to manage content. Over the years, WordPress’ use was closely linked with writing blog posts. However, Advanced Gutenberg’s latest update gives you the tools you need to create pages with more freedom by adding the login, registration, and searching functionality right alongside both pages and posts.

Advanced Gutenberg 2.1 provides two new block types to put WordPress’ more vanilla features at your fingertips - the login and registration, and search blocks. With these two new blocks, you can seamlessly integrate login and registration to help you attract members, as well as search bars to help members find what they are looking for.

Now that you have WP File Download and you are able to create a downloadable version of your files, what is the next step? Well… Maybe be aware of what are your users uploading to WP File Download or what are they modifying. That can be done using the Email on file modification system.

Few cloud services are as common as Google Drive. The massive service is often used by individuals, but one lesser-known feature of the cloud behemoth is that it can also be used to share files with your Joomla blog. How? Dropfiles!

For some time now, Dropfiles has supported using Google Drive to store files on the cloud. That part is not novel, but what is new is instant file synchronization, even when files are big. This new synchronization method depends on a verified domain, which Dropfiles now handles.

Have the better performance possible is the dream of all everyone that manage a website, group and minify resources on WordPress is one of the best things we can do for that but it could be really hard. Group all your resources (css and js files mainly) may expose your website if you are not a developer because it may generates conflict.

WP Speed of Light is the best solution to perform your wordpress site because it has a lot of options to make your site load fast with a really friendly dashboard and yes, one of these options is group and minify resources. The single file inclusion/exclusion from the group and minify process is a key for a custom optimisation without conflicts.

Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Amazon S3 - the cloud services never end. WP Media Folder brings all your favorite cloud services to your WordPress blog, creating a diverse media library to boost your content. However, there is one must-have feature when you are creating content for your WordPress blog.

The best thing about cloud services is that they let you collaborate with editors, writers and other content creators. When you do that, there is one thing that matters more than anything else - you expect to have whichever cloud services you are using to be in perfect synchronization with your WordPress website.

Creating great content with Joomla is one thing, making it accessible is another. Lazy loading is one solution that combines the two without altering your workflow. The technique loads images only if and when needed. If the reader never reaches an image on the webpage, it never gets downloaded.

The benefits are many. Pages load faster, which means that the user experience is better, SEO scores soar and your Joomla content is accessible to users on low-end devices or slow internet access. A few weeks ago, we presented an improvement on the basic lazy loading recipe on WordPress. Today, we are presenting it for Joomla too, but before that, a look at lazy loading on Joomla.

Nothing says international brand like an international website. More practically, having a translated website is the prerequisite to catering to readership from all over the world. Even on a smaller scale, if you want to write a travel or food WordPress blog and make it accessible to different populations, translations go a long way in breaking down language barriers.

The WordPress Multilingual Plugin, better known as WPML, is the de facto WordPress plugin to translate your blog into a multitude of languages. With handy tools to copy existing content in your default language and translate it into another language, the plugin has been missing just one ingredient - full compatibility with our own Advanced Gutenberg. Not anymore.

Performing a custom redirect wordpress for a 404 error can be a headache for anyone since you have to touch certain files that can damage your site if you do not know how to handle it, which makes this a very dangerous job for inexperienced people but, as always, here in joomunited we have a solution for that, one that will facilitate all this work with the use of a friendly dashboard and is developed by experts in the area, being in this way the safest option you will have to edit these files.

Media turns a sterile WordPress blog into a living, bustling website, but the hard truth is that files and SEO do not go well together. There just is not much to say to the contrary - slower loading times lead to lower SEO scores. However, not all hope is lost. A few months ago we talked about how WP Speed of Light mitigates the issues with lazy loading. Now, we are going a step further.

The JoomUnited's developers always work so that your plugins work in the most optimal way possible, of course in some cases some type of failure can occur, for example, an incompatibility that is generated because of a third plugin and what do we want when these types of failures happen? Of course, they are solved quickly ...    

Columns are to content what Gutenberg’s blocks were to WordPress’ classic editor. They allow you to organize your content unhindered - if not vertically, like blocks, then horizontally. Advanced Gutenberg’s latest update presents a new block to help you get up and running with columns.

Advanced Gutenberg’s columns manager is a more advanced take on Gutenberg’s native columns. Its flagship features give you more control over how content should be displayed, but at the same time, it makes it easier to start creating content with its preset layouts.

Sometimes, you need to think bigger, and so do your files. OneDrive for Business takes all the features you know and love in Microsoft OneDrive and adapts them for enterprises to share files and collaborate. Although OneDrive and OneDrive for Business are not exactly the same, they also share many similarities.

The way that OneDrive differs from OneDrive for Business is that the former is targeted at managing your personal files and media. The latter is aimed more at helping businesses collaborate on documents. There’s a lot of overlap between the two, and the latest similarity is that now, WP Media Folder doubles as a file manager for both OneDrive  and OneDrive for Business.

Sharing files can give your WordPress blog new capabilities to engage with your readership. However, if you are a content creator, you may wish to assign tiered access to different files depending on what access users are paying for. WP File Download lets you share your files on WordPress while simultaneously cordoning them from the prying eyes of unauthorized users.

In today’s age, protecting creative property is no mean task. If you are a photographer or an artist, sharing your creations always involves relinquishing some control over them, but not sharing them is not the solution. WordPress’ WP Media Folder’s solution applies one of the most common protection mechanisms to your art - watermarks.

WooCommerce has become essential when creating e-commerce due to the facilities and tools it offers, but could this awesome plugin be a better tool? Well, the answer is Yes! But  think about a shop that contains thousands of products, options with, for each one, 5 images. Finding a media in order to reuse would be nearly impossible but… Good news! We have the solution for it ;)

Since we have talked about what it might take to have the perfect e-commerce, we are talking about one of the best solutions available in the market such as WP Media Folder, which is a plugin that offers wonderful galleries that you can use when you’re inserting images and videos on your Wordpress site but in addition to this, it also allows you to sort your files in folders and subfolders.

WP file download is the best friend you can have when creating downloadable versions of your files as it not only facilitates the process but also helps you personalize your posts by using the file download themes.

The new Gutenberg editor has a lot of tools that really help when we talk about making a post with our Wordpress site and it is thanks to the using of “Blocks” that you can handle in a really easier way, but maybe there are not enough blocks in the default Gutenberg editor to create an e-commerce, for example, a really great idea could be a Gutenberg table block to create a price table for the services that you provide and we have good news… It is totally possible with Advanced Gutenberg.

WordPress is the poster boy for blogs everywhere, but its popularity also makes it a rather generic tool. Not to worry, plugins abound to extend its functionality. For example, Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) focuses on one particular aspect - improving the expressiveness of WordPress posts and pages through metadata.

Metadata explains your WordPress content more thoroughly and accurately. ACF lets you create your own custom fields that accompany posts and pages to describe them in intricate detail. These fields can be used, for example, to describe the product that you are discussing. As metadata, these fields have the potential to be more than just description tools and boost SEO.

In today’s dynamic world where everyone is in search of the silver bullet that can increase brand recognition, hundreds of millions of sites try to attract eyeballs from the first sight.

OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, and the list goes on; cloud services are ever-abundant and ever-popular. WP Media Folder amalgamates files from all of these different services, and it is now bringing another cloud host to WordPress - Amazon S3.

WP Media Folder wears many hats. The newest one permits it to become a WordPress plugin for Amazon S3. WP Media Folder’s integration brings all the benefits of Amazon S3 to your WordPress media library. The functionality includes managing your Amazon S3 files from WordPress, and even moving your data onto Amazon’s servers.

Google Drive is a service developed by Google that offers cloud storage and file synchronization, with this service you can store any type of files in the cloud to access them from anywhere and share them with whomever you want.

Since the release of WordPress 5.0, progress on the content management system has slowed down. Through Gutenberg, the latest major version of WordPress handed over the keys to creating great content to bloggers like yourself. Although Gutenberg’s toolset is already copious, you can never have too many choices.

Advanced Gutenberg too has released a new update just one month after the last release. This month, Advanced Gutenberg graces your WordPress blog with even more possibilities, including one new block to help you connect with readers even more.

There are two sides to every blog. There’s the side that your readers see, and then there’s the side that only you see. As a WordPress blogger you spend most of your time in the dashboard optimizing what your readers see. Nevertheless, JoomUnited’s new redesign of WP File Download gives you the attention that you deserve.

After many of our other WordPress plugins, it is WP File Download’s turn to get a new outfit. WP File Download has abandoned the default, grim style of WordPress for a cleaner and decidedly more organized layout without touching any of the underlying features.

If you’re always up-to-date, then your 2019 resolution must have been WordPress 5. If you recently switched over, you will likely have gotten your hands dirty with Gutenberg - WordPress’ new post and page editor. There’s already a lot that you can do with Gutenberg, but most importantly, there’s even more that you could be doing with the editor.
