Important notes about WooCommerce 2.2

WooCommerce 2.2 is coming

WooThemes has recently announced that WooCoomerce 2.2 will be released this Autumn, which will introduces more breaking changes.

Looking back, it’s interesting to see how the Currency Switcher evolved from a “simple” currency conversion tool to a full multi-currency suite, with features such as Geolocation, multiple pricing, gateway management and more.

5 Answers to common (and difficult) interview questions

After several posts focused on product release, I finally have some time to write about life as a Developer, and to answer some questions asked by my (few) readers. The most common questions I receive are about job interviews. Competition from other Developers is getting higher every day, and Companies are, understandably, getting picky, looking for Professionals who can “tick all the boxes”.

The difficulty in passing an interview, however, is not just showing that you can write code. Ironically, that’s the easy part. The difficult questions come later, when the technical interview is over, and are meant to test your personality. People who spend most of their time “talking” to machines can, sometimes, have a hard time answering human-related questions, therefore it becomes vital to prepare some answers upfront. Read more

Post Scheduler and Hot Threads Plugins have been updated

As indicated in the title, the following Plugins for Vanilla Forums have been updated. Please download the latest version to make sure you get all the new features and bug fixes.

Post Scheduler

  • Fixed bug in filtering of Scheduled Discussions. The bug allowed unauthorised Users to see Scheduled Discussions when clicking on a Category.

  • Added weighing of Discussions’ age to prevent stale Discussions with a high “hot” score from appearing in the Hot Discussions list forever.

To get the latest versions, simply click on the download link(s) that you received when you purchased the plugins. New purchases will automatically receive the latest version.
