WooCommerce is an advanced shopping cart system, most of which doesn’t show itself from the outside, with a lot of internals. At the time of writing, WooCommerce reconmends using it’s objects (WC_Product, WC_Cart) taking it into an object-orientated platform as opposed to how much of WordPress operates in a functional style (although this is changing […]
Recently a big update one of the best form plugins, Gravity Forms 2.5 was finally released to the world.

Plesk, the globally recognised control panel, popular with many people who host a bunch of different WordPress websites out of the box doesn’t provide WP CLI to use if you login as root, or another user into the server.
