Ok, so I love WooCommerce, and I love speed, but this one has been on the back burner for far too long. Almost all of the refund requests for Scalability Pro that I get are because users were hoping to see their sites with 1000s or 10000s or even 100,000s of variations per product speeded […]

Hi everyone – quick update on bug fixing progress. There was a new update released yesterday with pretty much ALL bugs from Faster Woo Widgets fixed. It seems there’s one remaining which occurs with certain specific settings that I’m working on fixing now. I’ve also released an update for External Images which improves theme compatibility […]

Ok – I missed a week in my Dev Diary, but here we are, back at it again. I’ve managed to get my support chats down to 7 now which is great considering we were up at 280+! I’m sorry for the recent slow delay in replying, this should hopefully be a thing of the […]

I’ve finally arrived and settled at my final destination. My new base is Paros in Greece – a fair distance from snowy and wintery Scotland. I have a lot of support to catch up on, something approaching 200 chats to work through. If you have been awaiting a response, I appreciate your patience and I […]

I’m writing this from a ferry about to leave Venice for Greece and to my horror I’ve just discovered that there’ll be no wifi once we leave the port. It’s a 28 hour journey. I had been planning on using the full day tomorrow to finally release the Faster Woo Widgets upgrade and the other […]

So, this is the first in a long series of development diaries I’ll be keeping. The primary aim here – from my point of view – is to try and reduce how many support questions I receive about when such & such will be ready, when will X, Y, Z be worked on. If you […]
