I came across Jeff Utecht’s Blog today and found a number of new plugins to try with wordpress. The end result will then be added to the KKC community which [...]
We recently found a website with some awesome wordpress themes and we immediatley went and put them on our sites. However, a little later I discovered that the footer.php file was encrypted, apparantly to stop people changing the links in it. Now that is all very well but how do I know what else is [...]
