Yesterday Peter Fleck and I led a “WordPress Geekout” at MinneWebCon 2011. It was lots of fun.
The format was open – that is, we asked the audience for topics and addressed WordPress successes, failures, and questions. To kick things off, Peter and I provided some potential discussion starters.
Topics that were brought up include:
- Mobile themes
- WordPress Multisite
- Analytics
- Posterous to WordPress
- Peter’s plugin rant 🙂
- Frameworks
- Drupal vs. WordPress (mostly shirked this one)
- Parent themes
- Local WordPress Resources
Overall the conference was great. There was talk over tater tots afterwards to include a series of workshops next year. This seems like a great idea!

How to Connect a GoDaddy Site to ManageWP
GoDaddy owns ManageWP, and, strangely, they make it very difficult to add GoDaddy-managed WordPress sites to their ManageWP service. Thankfully, there’s a quick workaround: Visit https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?showWorker=1 — This will make the ManageWP “Worker” plugin visible. Copy the connection info from the ManageWP Worker plugin. Add the site per-normal on ManageWP. That’s it! I hope this…
How to check if your current page is the wp-login.php page
I realized this morning that my TMM Maintenance Mode WordPress plugin had a bug that was causing the wp-login.php page to be inaccessible. The solution was to write a simple function that checks whether or not we’re currently on a login page, and then add a call to that function in my code. Here’s the…
