If you like managing your repository at Github, you’ll love Pressable’s WordPress hosting!
A while back, I migrated all my WordPress websites from WP Engine to Pressable. One thing I loved was WP Engine’s git deployment feature. I’m pleased to report that I like Pressable’s git feature even more!
The setup is much the same as WP Engine’s: Create a folder structure in the root of your repo with a wp-content folder. Inside that folder, put your “themes” and/or “plugins” folders. Then just go to configure your Pressable website to pull your master branch (or whichever git branch you choose)! That’s it! (Here’s an example Github repo you can use.)
Let me know if this helps you out!

Avada ThemeFusion loads 80+ javascript files on every page! DON’T RECOMMEND!
I inherited a WordPress site using Avada ThemeFusion, and it is experiencing really bad performance issues. After doing lots of my standard bag-of-tricks optimizations to little effect, I decided to simply count the javascript files. To my surprise horror, I found it was loading over 80 javascript files on every single page! (For comparison: themightymo.com…
Why I switched from WPMUDEV’s Defender Pro to WordFence for WordPress Security

The conversation was forced on me, because I had a site using Defender Pro that was hacked. I do not blame Defender Pro for the hack, however, this…
