Core contributor Gary Pendergast explained the severity of the bug in the release post:</p>\n<blockquote><p>WordPress versions 4.2.2 and earlier are affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability, which could allow users with the Contributor or Author role to compromise a site. This was reported by <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/duck_\" target=\"_blank\">Jon Cave</a> and fixed by <a href=\"http://www.miqrogroove.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Robert Chapin</a>, both of the WordPress security team.</p>\n<p>We also fixed an issue where it was possible for a user with Subscriber permissions to create a draft through Quick Draft.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Pendergast thanked all parties reporting vulnerabilities for <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/reporting-security-vulnerabilities/\" target=\"_blank\">responsibly disclosing them </a> to the WordPress security team.</p>\n<p>This release also contains fixes for 20 bugs from 4.2, including one that might require you to update your database before being allowed back into the admin.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/wp-update-db.jpg\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/wp-update-db.jpg?resize=773%2C370\" alt=\"wp-update-db\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-47047\" /></a></p>\n<p>Not all WordPress users who are updating will be greeted with this message, but if you see it, don&#8217;t panic.

This pivotal release also gave developers the ability to register their own <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Post_Types\" target=\"_blank\">custom post types</a>. Expanding WordPress&#8217; custom content capabilities beyond simple posts and pages has been critical to the platform maintaining its dominance as <a href=\"http://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/content_management/all\" target=\"_blank\">the world&#8217;s most used CMS</a>.</p>\n<p>Thousands of WordPress developers make a living from products that are based on custom post types. Five years ago, when the feature was still new, you had to know how to write the code to register a new post type. That&#8217;s when the folks at <a href=\"http://webdevstudios.com/\" target=\"_blank\">WebDevStudios</a> released <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/\" target=\"_blank\">Custom Post Type UI</a>, a plugin that offers an admin interface for creating and managing post types and their associated taxonomies.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/cptui_post_type_editor.png\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/cptui_post_type_editor.png?resize=1024%2C604\" alt=\"cptui_post_type_editor\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-47028\" /></a></p>\n<p>The company counts more than <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/webdevstudios/#content-plugins\" target=\"_blank\">30 plugins</a> in its collection on WordPress.org, but Custom Post Type UI is by far the most successful. Last week it passed one million downloads and maintains a 4.6 out of 5-star average rating from users. The plugin is currently active on more than 200,000 WordPress sites.</p>\n<h3>Passing the 1 Million Downloads Milestone</h3>\n<p>Michael Beckwith, the current maintainer of Custom Post Type UI, published a <a href=\"http://webdevstudios.com/2015/07/17/the-custom-post-type-ui-million-download-celebration/\" target=\"_blank\">post</a> detailing the evolution of the plugin&#8217;s UI and codebase. His transparent account covers how the team overcame the challenges of their massive codebase overhaul and the undetected bugs that come crawling out of the woodwork with a major release.</p>\n<p>A plugin with a user base in the hundreds of thousands that manages to maintain a nearly 5-star average rating on WordPress.org is a notable achievement, especially when it involves weathering the UI and code updates required to keep pace with WordPress.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I believe this milestone represents the fact that making features usable and more user-friendly to the &#8216;average Joe&#8217; can take you a long ways,&#8221; Beckwith said. &#8220;Custom Post Type UI made it easier for more people to tap into the power and customization ability that custom post types and taxonomies offer to a WordPress powered website. Because of that ease of use, many have added it to their toolbox for every website they have or work on, and recommend it to their friends.&#8221;</p>\n<p>The plugin is being developed on <a href=\"https://github.com/WebDevStudios/custom-post-type-ui\" target=\"_blank\">GitHub</a>. Although there are many <a href=\"https://github.com/WebDevStudios/custom-post-type-ui/labels/enhancement\" target=\"_blank\">enhancements</a> under consideration, Beckwith said that no major changes are planned for the near future.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I would love more to get more people up-to-date on the current version and let it be the stable version for awhile,&#8221; he said.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Looking at our stats page, we still have reported active installs using as far back as version 0.6. While I can sit here scratching my head as to why, I also have to consider that that version is stable enough and still meeting the needs of 0.6% of our users.</p>\n<p>&#8220;If it is not breaking for them, and there is no security concerns, then it is not all bad that they are still marching on. There is also the minimum version requirement to keep in mind. There are still WordPress installs active and out in the wild that are not running WordPress 3.8 or higher. Until they are, those users are not going to be notified that there is even an update available,&#8221; he said.</p>\n<p>If you want to learn more about what it takes to maintain a popular plugin while successfully navigating the years of changes and support, check out WebDevStudios&#8217; <a href=\"http://webdevstudios.com/2015/07/17/the-custom-post-type-ui-million-download-celebration/\" target=\"_blank\">1 million downloads celebration post</a>.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 23 Jul 2015 01:35:36 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:37;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:82:\"WPTavern: WordPress 4.3 Moves Customize to Its Own Top-level Menu in the Admin Bar\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=46979\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:92:\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-4-3-moves-customize-to-its-own-top-level-menu-in-the-admin-bar\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3156:\"<p>When menu management was <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/menu-customizer-officially-proposed-for-merge-into-wordpress-4-3\">proposed to be merged into WordPress 4.3</a>, a common complaint <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/menu-customizer-officially-proposed-for-merge-into-wordpress-4-3#comment-68988\">expressed by readers</a> was that clicking the Widgets menu item in the admin bar loads the customizer instead of the Widgets admin screen. WordPress 4.3 separates the management interfaces by moving the Customize link to the top-level menu of the admin bar. This link opens the customizer, allowing you to manage menus, appearance, and widgets through the customizer interface.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/WP42AdminBar.png\"><img class=\"wp-image-46995 size-full\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/WP42AdminBar.png?resize=429%2C232\" alt=\"WordPress 4.2 Admin Bar\" /></a>WordPress 4.2 Admin Bar\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/WP43AdminBar.png\"><img class=\"wp-image-46996 size-full\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/WP43AdminBar.png?resize=428%2C202\" alt=\"WP43AdminBar\" /></a>WordPress 4.3 Admin Bar\n<p>The Dashboard, Themes, Widgets, and Menus links take users to their corresponding admin pages in the backend of WordPress. This makes it clear which interface users are about to enter. The enhancement is a result of <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/32678\">ticket #32678</a> where Helen Hou-Sandí and other WordPress core contributors discussed ways to improve the context of each link over the course of five weeks.</p>\n<p>Within the ticket, Nick Halsey, who has spent a lot of time on the customizer, explains that the approach taken in the ticket addresses short-term problems while setting the stage for future improvements.</p>\n<blockquote><p>The Customizer gets the visibility it deserves and becomes more conceptually separated from &#8216;Appearance&#8217;, the admin becomes significantly more accessible from the front-end, the often-unhelpful dashboard is de-emphasized, etc. We also have the ability to easily upgrade the Customize link to do a much faster/shinier loading of the Customizer in the future without moving it.</p>\n<p>Notably, the add-content and edit-content links remain separated from the admin menu (and we skip submenus there for simplicity), setting us up to be able to point them to a front-end-contextual content-creating/editing experience if we build that in the future, without moving links around. This minor rearrangement should be able to last several years without things moving around much if at all, even as further adjustments are made to the features they point to.</p></blockquote>\n<p>On the surface, it appears to be a simple change but a lot of time and effort went into it. It required several core contributors to discuss a variety of mockups, ideas, and flows before the team figured out a solution.</p>\n<p>Separating how users enter each interface will be a welcome enhancement to anyone who prefers one over the other to manage themes, widgets, and menus.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 22 Jul 2015 23:28:40 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:38;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:85:\"WPTavern: How and When Mullenweg Learned Thesis Changed Back to a Proprietary License\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=46960\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:95:\"http://wptavern.com/how-and-when-mullenweg-learned-thesis-changed-back-to-a-proprietary-license\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:5837:\"<p>We now know when Matt Mullenweg discovered Chris Pearson changed Thesis&#8217; license from split GPL to a proprietary one. On April 1st 2014, Siobhan McKeown <a href=\"http://archive.wordpress.org/interviews/2014_04_01_Mullenweg.html\">interviewed Matt Mullenweg</a> for the <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/book\">WordPress history book</a>.</p>\n<p>In the interview, we learn about the history of WordPress themes, the GPL, how Automattic unintentionally created the commercial theme market, why 200 themes were removed from the directory for sponsored links and much more.</p>\n<p>At the 30 minute mark, McKeown asks Mullenweg, at what point did he decide to go to the Software Freedom Law Center to receive clarification on if the default themes that ship with WordPress are derivatives? He responds:</p>\n<blockquote><p>I believe that was around our engagement with Mr. Pearson. I don&#8217;t know if it was before or after the Mixergy interview with our spirited online debate, but it was definitely around that time. I&#8217;m not a lawyer! I can read it and I can understand it from a logical point of view, but the Software Freedom Law Center is obviously the world experts in this and having them officially opine is the closest we can get to &#8211; it&#8217;s the next best thing to having a court case.</p>\n<p>I was actually very excited that perhaps Chris would actually go to court, because as you know there isn&#8217;t a ton of case law around the GPL and normally, because no one is stubborn enough to actually go to court over it, and I thought, &#8220;Oh, we finally got one!&#8221; And I was looking forward to being able to discuss in the U.S. law system and provide the precedent for anyone who comes after us to protect the GPL.</p>\n<p>Because companies like Cisco and LinkSys and huge companies with billions of dollars in resources have opted to not fight it, so you really do need someone who is going to be stubborn enough to fight it.</p></blockquote>\n<p>At the climax of the debate in 2010, <a href=\"http://ma.tt/2010/07/syn-thesis-1/#comment-481743\">some members</a> of the WordPress community wanted to see the argument go to court so a ruling could set a precedent on when a work becomes derivative.</p>\n<p>At the 33 minute mark, McKeown informs Mullenweg that Thesis switched from a split GPL license to a proprietary license. This is the first time since his debate with Pearson in 2010, that Mullenweg discovers Thesis switched back to a proprietary license. He responds:</p>\n<blockquote><p>I have not seen that. So we&#8217;d have to do a code analysis again. As you know the Software Freedom Law Center says that non-PHP, so non-linked code which can be CSS, images and JavaScript, isn&#8217;t required to be GPL. It doesn&#8217;t trigger the viral nature of WordPress&#8217; GPL code.</p>\n<p>The stance of the WordPress community was that a theme without images or CSS isn&#8217;t much of a theme so, even though something could be legally compliant, if the entire package isn&#8217;t providing the same freedoms for users it&#8217;s not something that we want to link to or promote. Because it doesn&#8217;t really follow the things that we hold dear and true in WordPress.</p></blockquote>\n<p>On January 15, 2014, <a href=\"http://www.pearsonified.com/2015/07/truth-about-thesis-com.php\">Chris Pearson received</a> a copy of Mullenweg&#8217;s inquiry into thesis.com from Larry of GetYourDomain.com. This is approximately four months prior to discovering Thesis was being sold under a proprietary license. However, the exact date in which Mullenweg obtained ownership of the domain is unknown.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/email-matt.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-46845\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/email-matt.png?resize=486%2C191\" alt=\"Email shared by Pearson showing Mullenweg\'s interest in the domain\" /></a>Email shared by Pearson showing Mullenweg&#8217;s interest in the domain\n<p>The first <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/mullenweg-and-pearson-square-off-on-patents-gpl-and-trademarks\">publicly known use of the domain</a> that confirmed Mullenweg&#8217;s ownership was on October 26th, 2014, at WordCamp San Francisco during the Question and Answer session.</p>\n<p>As the interview continues, McKeown asks Mullenweg if he reached out to companies like Template Monster that sells WordPress themes that are not GPL Licensed. He responds:</p>\n<blockquote><p>We got in touch with everyone that we could, and it was definitely &#8211; it was a lot of time. There are times when WordPress core stuff is more than a full-time job for me and now is definitely one of them.</p>\n<p>I see your link to a [inaudible]. There&#8217;s always ways to word licenses around multi-site support where perhaps the code is GPL but the developer chooses to not provide support for more than one site unless you buy a special license. So sometimes people interpret those to be a GPL violation when actually they&#8217;re not.</p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not aware of what Chris has done and I&#8217;d like to think that he is supportive &#8211; he has done so well from the WordPress community that he&#8217;d be supportive of themes continuing to be GPL, especially since his business didn&#8217;t crash like he was worried it would.</p></blockquote>\n<p>McKeown jokes that lawyers might have written Thesis&#8217; license agreement.

The plugin makes it easy for site administrators to create and manage member types in the admin &#8211; without having to write any code.</p>\n<p>A quick overview of its features includes:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create/Edit/Delete Member Types from WordPress admin</li>\n<li>Bulk assign member type to users from the users list screen</li>\n<li>A member type can be marked active/inactive from the edit member type page</li>\n<li>Compatible with multisite installations</li>\n</ul>\n<p>When creating a new member type, administrators have the option to enable a directory that will list all members from that type on one page.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/create-member-type.png\"><img src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/create-member-type.png?resize=968%2C725\" alt=\"create-member-type\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-46984\" /></a></p>\n<p>If you want to add the plugin and separate your members into different types, the task is not as overwhelming as it might sound. When you visit the user listing page in the admin, you can use the plugin&#8217;s bulk &#8220;change member type&#8221; dropdown to bulk assign users to a new member type. (This feature is also available in the Extended Profile section for each individual user in the admin.)</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/change-member-type.png\"><img src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/change-member-type.png?resize=737%2C440\" alt=\"change-member-type\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-46988\" /></a></p>\n<p>If you want to make the member types available for selection upon user registration, Singh created a free companion plugin called <a href=\"http://buddydev.com/buddypress/using-buddypress-member-type-as-profile-field-introducing-bp-xprofile-member-type-field-plugin/\" target=\"_blank\">BP Xprofile Member Type Field</a> that puts this on the frontend. If you want to restrict members from modifying their user type after registration, you can also add the free <a href=\"http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-non-editable-profile-fields/\" target=\"_blank\">Non Editable Profile</a> field plugin.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/registration-member-type-field.png\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/registration-member-type-field.png?resize=490%2C337\" alt=\"registration-member-type-field\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-46992\" /></a></p>\n<p>Please note that BP Member Type Generator cannot detect and manage other member types that have previously been added via code in a plugin. This might create some confusion if you already have existing member types. However, if you&#8217;re just starting with setting up and organizing member types, or are willing to reorganize member types, the BP Member Type Generator offers an easy way to do it.</p>\n<p>This plugin is an important and much needed new tool that puts the creation of unique member types into the hands of BuddyPress community administrators, regardless of skill level.

According <a href=\"http://www.lassosoft.com/What-Is-Lasso\">to LassoSoft</a>, &#8220;Lasso is a development platform and is the easiest, quickest and most secure method of supporting custom, data-driven web sites on the market today.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Before launching a product, Haskins searches Google to see if similar products exist with the same name, &#8220;Apparently we didn’t look hard enough when naming Lasso,&#8221; he said.</p>\n<h2>Three Requirements That Must Be Met</h2>\n<p>Haskins <a href=\"http://cl.ly/39400J3A100k\">shared the letter</a> to educate others in the business of WordPress. In the letter, attorney&#8217;s for LassoSoft point out the company&#8217;s <a href=\"http://www.tmfile.com/mark/?q=861046116\">registered trademarks</a> and says it commenced using the mark in the US in 1998 and in Canada in 1997.</p>\n<p>LassoSoft claims to have documented at least one case of confusion between the two brands and says the continued use of Lasso will cause even more confusion.</p>\n<p>Attorney&#8217;s for LassoSoft provided three requirements that must be met for an amicable end to the dispute:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Permanently ceasing all use of the term &#8220;Lasso&#8221; and any trademark which includes or incorporates the term &#8220;Lasso&#8221;, in connection with any software or related goods and services.</li>\n<li>Removing all references to the term &#8220;Lasso&#8221; from the Website.</li>\n<li>Removing all references to the term &#8220;Lasso&#8221; from any marketing materials including flyers, catalogs, etc.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Haskins has until <strong>July 29th</strong> to satisfy the requirements and provide LassoSoft with written confirmation that he has permanently ceased all use of the term &#8220;Lasso&#8221; in association with software.</p>\n<h2>Transitioning Momentum</h2>\n<p>Rebranding a product that has momentum can be a crushing blow to a business that doesn&#8217;t manage the transition correctly. I asked Haskins how he plans to shift momentum from Lasso to the new brand name.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The first idea I had, was to let the community rename it, possibly even have a $500 prize to the winning name. By incentivizing a rebranding campaign, together with a concentrated effort on re-educating, along with URL redirects and custom messages, I feel pretty strongly that we&#8217;ll be able to move right along without skipping a beat,&#8221; he said.</p>\n<p>When it comes to naming a WordPress product and launching it into the WordPress ecosystem, Haskins offers the following advice:</p>\n<p>&#8220;Use Google to see if it already exists either in the WordPress ecosystem or in a related field. This may seem like a no-brainer and it&#8217;s really common sense, but for some reason, I either never searched or that company never popped up. At any rate, I think you&#8217;ll be in good shape by sticking to something with wp prefixed or appended to the name.&#8221;</p>\n<p>&#8220;Avoid generic terms and verbs because apparently, you can trademark a verb. I&#8217;d also run the search again in six months and if it&#8217;s a product that you plan on working on for a while, go through the process of getting the term trademarked.&#8221;</p>\n<p>In addition to Haskins&#8217; advice, I recommend using a search and discovery process provided by legal counsel familiar with trademark law.</p>\n<h2>Help Haskins Rebrand Lasso</h2>\n<p>In light of the battle between <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/mullenweg-and-pearson-square-off-on-patents-gpl-and-trademarks\">Chris Pearson and Matt Mullenweg</a> involving patents, GPL, and trademarks, Haskins decided to rebrand Lasso, &#8220;There are a lot more important things in life than the name of a plugin for WordPress,&#8221; he said.</p>\n<p>Haskins is giving the community an opportunity to rebrand his product. So far, he&#8217;s ruled out WP Front End Editor as it&#8217;s too similar to the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-front-end-editor/\">name of a feature plugin</a> that may one day be merged into WordPress core.</p>\n<p>If you have an idea on what to call Lasso, please leave a comment on this post. Sometime next week, Haskins will gather the suggestions and publish a poll where the community can vote on which one is best.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 22 Jul 2015 01:08:17 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:42;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:47:\"Matt: There is No Such Thing as a Split License\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:21:\"http://ma.tt/?p=45256\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:42:\"http://ma.tt/2015/07/licenses-going-dutch/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2845:\"<p>There&#8217;s a term that pops in the WordPress community, &#8220;split license&#8221;, that we should put to rest. It&#8217;s sloppy at best, misleading at worst.</p>\n<p>First, some background. WordPress is under a license called the GPL, which basically says you can do whatever you like with the software, but if you distribute changes or create derivative works they also need to be under the GPL. Think of it like a Creative Commons Sharealike license.</p>\n<p>In the past people weren&#8217;t sure if themes for WordPress were derivative works and needed to be GPL. <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2009/07/themes-are-gpl-too/\">In 2009 we got an outside legal opinion that cleared up the matter</a> saying that the PHP in themes definitely had to be GPL, and for CSS and images it was optional. Basically everyone in the WP community went fully GPL, sometimes called 100% GPL, for all the files required to run their theme (PHP, JS, CSS, artwork). The predicted theme apocalypse and death of WordPress didn&#8217;t happen and in fact both theme shops and WordPress flourished, and best of all users had all the same freedoms from their themes as they got from WordPress. It was controversial at the time, but I think history has reflected well on the approach the WP community took.</p>\n<p>As I said the PHP has to be GPL, the other stuff can be something else &#8212; many people started to use the term &#8220;split license&#8221; or &#8220;split GPL&#8221; to describe this. The problem, especially with the latter, is it leaves out the most important information. &#8220;Split GPL&#8221; doesn&#8217;t say whether the theme is violating WordPress&#8217; license or not (maybe it&#8217;s proprietary PHP and GPL CSS), and more importantly doesn&#8217;t say what the non-GPL stuff is, which is the part you need to worry about! It also makes it sound like a split license is a thing, when all it really means is there are different licenses for different parts of the work. If something has a &#8220;split license&#8221; you have no idea what restrictions or freedoms it provides.</p>\n<p>If someone decides to have different licenses for different parts of a theme they ship in one package, it&#8217;s probably worth taking a few extra words to spell out what the rights and restrictions are, like &#8220;GPL PHP, and a restrictive proprietary license for all other elements included with the theme.&#8221; This is really important because if you&#8217;re a smart WordPress consumer you should avoid proprietary software, there is always a GPL alternative that <a href=\"http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html\">gives you the rights and freedoms you deserve</a>, and probably is from a nicer person who is more in line with the philosophy of the rest of WordPress. Vote with your pocketbook, buy GPL software!</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 21 Jul 2015 20:55:12 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4:\"Matt\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:43;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:94:\"WPTavern: Shortcake Bakery Plugin Offers a Suite of Useful Shortcodes for WordPress Publishers\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=46896\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:104:\"http://wptavern.com/shortcake-bakery-plugin-offers-a-suite-of-useful-shortcodes-for-wordpress-publishers\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4116:\"<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/baker.jpg\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/baker.jpg?resize=1024%2C516\" alt=\"photo credit: Panettiere - (license)\" class=\"size-full wp-image-46899\" /></a>photo credit: <a href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/27505428@N06/16282512996\">Panettiere</a> &#8211; <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/\">(license)</a>\n<p>In March, the <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/shortcake-is-now-a-wordpress-feature-plugin\" target=\"_blank\">Shortcake project officially began its journey as a feature plugin</a> with regular meetings for contributors working to make it ready to propose for inclusion in WordPress core.

The commercial caching plugin for WordPress launched two years ago in the French market and <a href=\"http://blog.wp-rocket.me/2-years-reports-feedbacks/\" target=\"_blank\">opened its doors to international customers</a> last May.</p>\n<p>At that time, WP Rocket was entering unproven territory as the first major caching plugin to launch with a 100% commercial model. Could the plugin succeed in a market dominated by free caching solutions like <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/\" target=\"_blank\">W3 Total Cache</a> and <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/\" target=\"_blank\">WP Super Cache</a>?</p>\n<p>WP Rocket has the numbers to prove that WordPress users are willing to pay for an easy-to-configure solution to site optimization. In February, the 100% bootstrapped company published a transparency report showing that the product was now active on 15,000+ websites and <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-rocket-grows-from-0-to-35k-in-monthly-revenue\" target=\"_blank\">averaging $35K in monthly revenue</a>. Six months later, the plugin is now active on more than 32,000 websites. From July 2014 &#8211; July 2015, WP Rocket <a href=\"http://blog.wp-rocket.me/2-years-reports-feedbacks/\" target=\"_blank\">reports</a> that the company pulled in a total of $351,097 in revenue.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/wprocket-2014-2015.jpg\"><img src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/wprocket-2014-2015.jpg?resize=629%2C525\" alt=\"photo credit: WP Rocket</a.\" /></a>photo credit: <a href=\"http://blog.wp-rocket.me/2-years-reports-feedbacks/\">WP Rocket</a>\n<p>WP Rocket has been successful in identifying ways to stand out among established competitors. During our <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-rocket-launches-commercial-caching-plugin-for-wordpress\" target=\"_blank\">initial tests of the plugin</a>, we found that it took under a minute to configure caching for a small blogging site using its simple, basic settings panel. Without even touching the more advanced options, such as DNS prefetching and file exclusions, we were able to reduce the page size and load time by roughly 50%.</p>\n<p>Inspired by a recent three-month stay in San Francisco, WP Rocket developers and co-founders  Jonathan Buttigieg and Jean-Baptiste Marchand-Arvier are now working to diversify their product offerings.</p>\n<p>&#8220;WP Rocket will be one product among others from our startup and not the only one,&#8221; Marchand-Arvier said. &#8220;We want to have a portfolio of products and not depend on only one.&#8221;</p>\n<p>To that end, the company is dipping its toes into multiple potentially welcoming revenue streams, including plugins, themes, and SaaS.</p>\n<p>&#8220;For the past few months, Julio has been working on a security plugin,&#8221; Marchand-Arvier said. &#8220;This is going to be a great challenge for us as we experiment with a freemium model for the first time, and because there are great competitors in the space, like WordFence and iThemes Security.</p>\n<p>WP Rocket currently has a dedicated team working on <a href=\"https://imagify.io/\" target=\"_blank\">Imagify</a>, an image compression toolkit and their first SaaS venture. The company also plans to enter the theme market with its own shop.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We want to take on that huge challenge which will be very different compared to selling a plugin,&#8221; Marchand-Arvier said.</p>\n<p>WP Rocket&#8217;s founders believe that building a strong company culture will be one of the key factors to their continued success.</p>\n<p>&#8220;To work in a mostly remote team can create a lack of human connection,&#8221; Marchand-Arvier said. &#8220;That’s why we’ve decided to organize a ‘startup retreat’ every year.&#8221; This decision was inspired by the founders&#8217; 2014 trip to explore Silicon Valley, a pivotal event that changed the way they approached business in the WordPress ecosystem.</p>\n<p>&#8220;This [trip] transformed three guys who were selling a WordPress plugin into a Startup of eight people (today) with a strong company culture,&#8221; he said.</p>\n<p>If the success of WP Rocket&#8217;s caching plugin is any indication, WordPress users should be on the lookout for the company to bring a new twist into other existing product niches. Momentum is running high on their currently incubating projects with <a href=\"https://imagify.io/\" target=\"_blank\">Imagify</a> on track to launch in the upcoming weeks.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Mon, 20 Jul 2015 20:33:25 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:45;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:19:\"Matt: Streak Broken\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:21:\"http://ma.tt/?p=45251\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:35:\"http://ma.tt/2015/07/streak-broken/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:689:\"<p>Due to some distractions and mishandling of scheduled posts on my part, I broke my blogging streak.

His public response revives a <a href=\"http://wordpress.tv/2010/07/15/mixergy-interview-pearson-mullenweg/\">five-year old licensing disagreement</a>.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I think the most important place to start is by asking: Why would Automattic—a website software company with over $300 million in funding—buy thesis.com when I owned the trademark for Thesis in the website software space?&#8221; Pearson asked.</p>\n<p>In February 2013, Pearson started negotiations with a domain broker named Larry of GetYourDomain.com in an attempt to purchase thesis.com. He opened with an offer of $37,500 which he considered to be more than enough for an unused domain. After months of negotiating, the deal fell through.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/email-matt.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-46845\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/email-matt.png?resize=486%2C191\" alt=\"Email shared by Pearson showing Mullenweg\'s interest in the domain\" /></a>Email shared by Pearson showing Mullenweg&#8217;s interest in the domain\n<p>&#8220;I didn’t see how Matt could justify buying the domain for $100,000. Because of my trademark, there was no way he could legally use the domain for Automattic, and therefore, I didn’t believe there was a reason for him to spend that much money,&#8221; Pearson said.</p>\n<p>Nine months after negotiations failed, Pearson received an email from Larry asking if he&#8217;d like to renegotiate since Mullenweg showed interest in the domain. Further negotiations went nowhere and Mullenweg won the domain for $100K.</p>\n<p>News of Mullenweg&#8217;s purchase didn&#8217;t reach the public until he replied to a question about WordPress&#8217; relationship with commercial theme providers at the 2014 State of the Word Q&amp;A. In his response, he encouraged the audience to visit Thesis.com. Notice Mullenweg&#8217;s delivery and how the crowd reacts to his announcement.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Pearson also accused Mullenweg of <a href=\"http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=4039583&caseType=US_REGISTRATION_NO&searchType=statusSearch\">violating his trademark</a>.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Principles? Matt spent $100,000 to buy thesis.com—a domain in which he had no legitimate business interest—forwarded the domain to his property, and violated my trademark.</p>\n<p>This is ironic considering how vigilant Matt has been about protecting the WordPress trademark—especially as it <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/the-wordpress-foundation-sues-jeff-yablon-for-trademark-infringement\">relates to domain names</a>.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Pearson goes on to describe his duty to protect to his trademark and the details of the UDRP Case Ruling, as well as the fallout regarding the court&#8217;s decision in Automattic&#8217;s favor.</p>\n<p>&#8220;It’s time for the community to ask itself if using $300 million in funding to purchase $100,000 domains, fund aggressive lawsuits, and fuel unending drama is properly representative of the WordPress project,&#8221; he said.</p>\n<p>Pearson admitted to &#8220;being a jerk&#8221; both in the post and the comments. This admission is based on his attitude and the way he presented himself in 2010 in the <a href=\"http://wordpress.tv/2010/07/15/mixergy-interview-pearson-mullenweg/\">interview with Andrew Warner</a> on Mixergy. Mullenweg focused on the fact that Pearson changed the licensing structure of Thesis so that part of it is incompatible with the GPL:</p>\n<p>&#8220;So why do the exact same thing you did before, change your license to violate the GPL and take rights away from your users? And then litigate against someone else?&#8221; Mullenweg asked.</p>\n<p>He is referring to Thesis&#8217; <a href=\"http://diythemes.com/thesis/rtfm/software-license-agreement/\">license agreement</a> customers agree to when they purchase the theme. The agreement has terms that take user freedoms away that GPL licensed software provides. Here are a few of terms in the agreement:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>You can’t sell, rent, or otherwise transfer the software to anyone else.</li>\n<li>The license provides you, and only you, with the rights to use the software for its intended purpose.</li>\n<li>Other than for educational purposes, any modification of the Thesis “core” is prohibited.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Mullenweg is well known as a zealous protector of the GPL and users&#8217; rights. However, Pearson and many others perceived his comments on licensing to be a distraction from the main issue.</p>\n<p>In responding to commenters on whether the issue is dead, he <a href=\"http://www.pearsonified.com/2015/07/truth-about-thesis-com.php#comment-1507944\" target=\"_blank\">said</a>:</p>\n<blockquote><p>The issue isn’t dead — Chris went back on his word and re-changed his license to be 100% proprietary and violate the GPL, sneakily sometime in the past 5 years since the last time he did that. He also patented how themes work, and color pickers.</p></blockquote>\n<p>The patent Mullenweg is <a href=\"http://www.google.com/patents/US20140095982\">referring to</a> was published in September of 2012. The patent describes systems, servers, and methods for managing websites using the Thesis software. One of the fears is that the patent is vague and closely describes how WordPress themes work in general, although Pearson claims the patent has <a href=\"http://www.pearsonified.com/2015/07/truth-about-thesis-com.php#comment-1507962\">nothing to do with WordPress</a>.</p>\n<p>Pearson <a href=\"http://www.pearsonified.com/2015/07/truth-about-thesis-com.php#comment-1507962\" target=\"_blank\">clarified Thesis&#8217; new proprietary licensing</a>, which Mullenweg believes to be in violation of their agreement in 2010:</p>\n<blockquote><p>In October 2012, I released an all-new version of Thesis that carried the same name as the original (which had a split-GPL license), but that’s where the similarities stopped.</p>\n<p>The new Thesis is not a Theme—it is an operating system for templates and design. This system runs Skins and Boxes, which are similar to Themes and Plugins, but with a boatload of built-in efficiencies that Themes and Plugins cannot provide.</p>\n<p>Skins and Boxes carry MIT licenses, which are not only open source, but also easy for anyone to understand and use.</p>\n<p>There is nothing sneaky about the licensing structure that has been in place since October 2012. DIYthemes customers must agree to the proprietary licensing on the Thesis core before downloading and using the software.</p></blockquote>\n<p>After Mullenweg purchased the domain, he <a href=\"http://www.pearsonified.com/2015/07/truth-about-thesis-com.php#comment-1507947\">received no personal communication from Pearson</a> on the issue until Automattic was hit with litigation. The litigation stems from Pearson trying to protect his trademark.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I don’t know the last time I got an email from Chris directly (3+ years?), and myself and Automattic didn’t hear anything from him before we got the litigation notice he was trying to seize the domain,&#8221; Mullenweg commented. &#8220;No questions, no concerns, no offer to resolve, no discussion, we were just hit with legal action out of the blue.&#8221;</p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"http://www.pearsonified.com/2015/07/truth-about-thesis-com.php#comment-1507959\">comment published</a> on Pearson&#8217;s blog post, Mullenweg contends that Pearson is repeating the same mistake he made in 2010 by not licensing Thesis as GPL.</p>\n<p>&#8220;It doesn’t matter if you admit what you did was wrong in the past if you go and do the exact same thing again: violate the GPL, and make it worse by patenting common theme practices,&#8221; he said.</p>\n<p>Up until this point, Mullenweg has declined to comment directly on Automattic&#8217;s interest in purchasing thesis.com in the first place. There are a lot of forces at play, including patents, GPL adherence, trademarks, and domain names. This is a developing and complicated story that we&#8217;ll continue to keep our eyes on.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Sat, 18 Jul 2015 05:24:07 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:47;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:65:\"WPTavern: New Feature Plugin Proposed: oEmbed for WordPress Posts\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=46826\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:74:\"http://wptavern.com/new-feature-plugin-proposed-oembed-for-wordpress-posts\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2809:\"<p>WordPress has a <a href=\"https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds\" target=\"_blank\">whitelist</a> of 31 trusted sites from which users can oEmbed content, but one source is noticeably missing &#8211; WordPress itself. During this week&#8217;s <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/07/10/feature-plugin-chat-on-july-14/\" target=\"_blank\">feature plugin chat</a>, Pascal Birchler and a group of contributors proposed the idea of <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/07/10/feature-plugin-chat-on-july-14/#comment-26324\" target=\"_blank\">oEmbed for WordPress Posts</a>:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Basically, we want to make WordPress an oEmbed provider. Users should be able to paste an URL from a WordPress blog and the post gets embedded right away. Difficulties here are discovering other WordPress sites as oEmbed providers and whitelisting them. The oEmbed endpoint requires the WP-API to be in use, so this can’t land in core until the API does.</p></blockquote>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://github.com/swissspidy/oEmbed-API\" target=\"_blank\">oEmbed API</a> proof-of-concept feature plugin is currently in development on GitHub. It requires WordPress 4.3 beta 3 or later and version 2 of the <a href=\"https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API\" target=\"_blank\">WP REST API</a> plugin.</p>\n<p>Mel Choyce, author of the trac <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/32522\" target=\"_blank\">ticket</a> requesting the feature, created a mockup of how embedded WordPress posts might look:</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/wordpress-oembed-feature-plugin-mockup.jpg\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/wordpress-oembed-feature-plugin-mockup.jpg?resize=1024%2C960\" alt=\"wordpress-oembed-feature-plugin-mockup\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-46828\" /></a></p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/32522\" target=\"_blank\">ticket</a> is home to an active discussion with excellent reasons on both sides of the argument for why this should or should not be included in core, highlighting the many <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/32522#comment:32\" target=\"_blank\">considerations</a> that would be involved with having oEmbed discovery turned on. Tackling <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/32522#comment:34\" target=\"_blank\">abuse of the feature</a> could also pose a significant challenge.</p>\n<p>The feature plugin is still in the early development stages and discussion regarding its implementation is ongoing. Birchler said the team needs help with design and development, particularly with the oEmbed auto-discovery part of the project.

Opening up the starter theme to be available for use with a variety of frontend frameworks means that the Roots community is utilizing a wide range of technologies for development.</p>\n<p>The new podcast was created to discuss WordPress and Roots development and will also explore general modern web development topics. The <a href=\"https://roots.io/radio0/\" target=\"_blank\">inaugural episode</a> introduces Roots team members, many of whom use WordPress and others who are more active outside of WordPress development. They also discuss their individual WordPress workflows, dependency management, and project structure.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" width=\"550\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">If you’re interested in a smoother WordPress workflow, listen to Roots Radio, whether you use Roots or not. <a href=\"https://t.co/vhocxb9tkC\">https://t.co/vhocxb9tkC</a></p>\n<p>&mdash; Fränk Klein (@fklux) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/fklux/status/621432291341017088\">July 15, 2015</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<p>Ben Word and Scott Walkinshaw recently appeared on <a href=\"https://changelog.com/podcast/\" target=\"_blank\">The Changelog</a> podcast, a weekly show that covers the intersection of software development and open source, to discuss &#8220;<a href=\"https://changelog.com/156/\" target=\"_blank\">Modern WordPress using Bedrock and Sage</a>.&#8221;</p>\n<p>&#8220;After Scott and I appeared on the Changelog podcast, the guys on the team wanted to get something going,&#8221; Word said.

Your business stands to benefit greatly from a YouTube presence in that:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>YouTube only comes after Google &amp; Facebook when it comes to daily visits. Billions of videos are viewed every month on YouTube, meaning there is a very high chance that your video will get many views once you post it.</li>\n<li>You will reach targeted Web traffic. Recent research by Nielsen shows that YouTube gets the most visits from adults aged between 18 and 34.</li>\n<li>It is free to post a video on YouTube, meaning you can put your advertising dollars elsewhere.</li>\n<li>Your YouTube campaign will help you get a more targeted mailing list by asking people who view your videos to sign up to your mailing list. People who have viewed and liked your videos are more likely to buy from you (and to recommend your company/products to their friends).</li>\n<li>You will be able to demonstrate products, which is particularly important if your physical distribution channel is limited.</li>\n<li>If you want to build a community for your business or the business already has a community, YouTube videos are a tool to engage and share with customers. As an example, you could have video blogs or event footage for your customers if you are a bicycle retailer.</li>\n<li>YouTube will help you build your reputation as a guru in your field. You could post such things as video tutorials.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3><strong>Effective YouTube SEO Tactics Include</strong></h3>\n<p><img class=\" wp-image-9480 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/youtube-marketing.jpg\" alt=\"youtube-marketing\" width=\"730\" height=\"305\" /></p>\n<p><strong>1)</strong> Google’s Universal Search blends videos, images, books, news, and local searches in the search engine’s search results. This shows that Google values videos as much as it does text pages. Videos hosted on YouTube will help you reach many people.</p>\n<p><strong>2)</strong> The fact that there are millions of videos on YouTube poses a challenge in that you will be competing with very many videos. If you want improved visibility, consider running a YouTube search engine optimization (SEO) campaign. Several SEO tactics will greatly increase the visibility of your video.</p>\n<p><strong>3)</strong> YouTube allows you to include a video description for every video. Since Google and YouTube cannot listen or watch your video yet, they rely on the description to understand the topic of your video. The description should be keyword-optimized. Take all other precautions you would with other search engine optimized text (such as ensuring the content is unique).</p>\n<p><strong>4)</strong> Consider optimizing around “video keywords.” Note that although YouTube videos have an edge on Google’s SERP, this is only true for some keywords. These are called “Video Keywords.” As an example, you expect a few video results when you use the keyword “cute cats” (which makes sense since the person who searches for this keyword is most likely looking for a video, not an article on cute cats). On the other hand, someone searching for the keyword “muscle aches” is most likely looking for an article.</p>\n<p><strong>5)</strong> A proven YouTube SEO tactic is getting your videos to online communities. You can achieve this by sharing your YouTube videos on these communities. Online communities comprise of people who have similar interests and so you will get more high-retention traffic if you find the right community.</p>\n<p><strong>6)</strong> YouTube algorithm values user experience signals because it does not use backlinks. You should therefore ensure your videos are interesting since subscribing and liking are the most important YouTube user experience signals, in that order. Simply asking people to like, subscribe, share, and/or share is an effective way of achieving this.</p>\n<p><strong>7)</strong> Consider creating playlists and ensure they are keyword-rich. Organize your YouTube channel and you will realize more YouTube traffic. YouTube gets deeper info about the topics of your videos from keyword-rich playlists.</p>\n<p><strong>8)</strong> The name of the video should have the word “video” whenever possible and it should include an appropriate keyword. This is because most people search for videos using keywords and include the word “video” after the keyword.</p>\n<p><strong>9)</strong> You should watermark your videos. The best video editing software programs allow you to place small translucent logos in the corner of your videos. Watermarks help give more credibility to your videos.</p>\n<p><strong>10)</strong> Advertise your channel on your website, your blog, on article submission directories, and everywhere else possible because the more channel views you get, the higher it will rank in its niche.</p>\n<p><strong>11)</strong> You could create different accounts and comment on the videos to get things rolling (never attempt to do this using a single account since YouTube considers this a Grey Hat SEO tactic). Consider enticing some drama since people like flocking to conflict.</p>\n<p><strong>12)</strong> YouTube considers the number of dislikes when ranking videos and you should, therefore take pre-emptive action when you start receiving negative feedback. It might be necessary to bring down your video to ensure it does not give your channel a bad name.</p>\n<p><strong>13)</strong> Link building remains one of the most effective SEO tactics. You should therefore consider having links to your website in the video description. This not only helps your SEO efforts, but it also gives you targeted web traffic.</p>\n<p><strong>14)</strong> Give views more options by including audio cues and illustrations over and above video and text. This increases the overall engagement the video receives since you will be catering to varying learning styles.</p>\n<h3><strong>Other Helpful Tips</strong></h3>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9481 size-full\" src=\"http://www.seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/youtube-analytics-banner.jpg\" alt=\"youtube-analytics-banner\" width=\"600\" height=\"292\" /></p>\n<p>YouTube Insights is an analytics feature that gives you such information as demographics and the point at which people stopped watching a particular video. This data will help you produce better videos in the future.</p>\n<p>YouTube uses thumbnails to help people who are searching through videos. It takes these thumbnails from the ¼, ½, and ¾ marks. Choose the most appropriate thumbs to display. You could try to manipulate videos (if this will not be disruptive) for you to get the most compelling images at these points. Thumbnails greatly affect the click-through rate.</p>\n<p>Combine SEO with other website promotion tactics such as article submission for the best results.</p>\n<p>Consider such things as the length and quality of your video as this determines if your audience will watch the video to the end.</p>\n<p><strong>Author Bio:</strong> Lalit Sharma is an SEO consultant who runs a SEO house called <a href=\"http://www.rankingbyseo.com/seo-services-india.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ranking By SEO</a>.

I prefer the third, because as soon as people start sharing what really works, it’s only a matter of time before it’s filtered out, penalized or potentially compromised.</p>\n<p>Looking from the outside in (in my experience) at what all the chatter is about or what’s the latest nugget of what <a href=\"https://twitter.com/mattcutts\">Matt Cutts</a> is discussing or how many penalties are out there does nothing to further the search engine optimization space (which is why we won’t even bother joining such speculation).</p>\n<p>I’d rather be that quiet guy with a few hundred test sites who sifts through data to put the strategies in perspective through a battery of litmus tests to determine what is quietly conquering the SEO fear uncertainty and doubt based <a href=\"http://searchengineland.com/library/google/google-panda-update/panda-update-news\">gargantuan Google menaces</a> that are constantly being regurgitated in an attempt of classic misdirection.</p>\n<p>In that light, let’s revisit some of the more notable myths.<span id=\"more-9366\"></span></p>\n<p><b>SEO Myth #1 Keyword density:</b> The keyword density of a page or post using relevant synonyms to created themed content is a moving target that changes based on the site that’s implementing it. In my experience, it’s much different for Wikipedia than it is for an auto blog that curates content or even the average enthusiast trying to make a dent in a flourishing market.</p>\n<p>So, the density of the keywords and key phrases used all depends on a) if the site has ample <a href=\"http://nlp.stanford.edu/IR-book/html/htmledition/tf-idf-weighting-1.html\">term-weight</a> for the topic and / or topics discussed and b) if the page in question is a critical page in the website or not (which is heavily influenced by<a href=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/seo-resources/why-internal-links-are-more-important-than-backlinks/\"> internal linking</a> and site architecture).</p>\n<p>While some may speculate blanket rules to how many keywords are needed on a page, whether or not there is continuity between the keyword, synonyms used in addition to correlations to things such as the title, H1, H2, bold and italics, internal links to the page, more than 750 words on the page, etc. are viable ranking factors, there are equally as many pages ranking that have <strong>none of those elements in line</strong> that are also on page one.</p>\n<p>I’ve ranked pages that don’t even mention the word on the page or just have it sparsely mentioned in the meta description or have less than 100 words (for competitive keywords). So, this point is moot and it’s more about the authority, <a href=\"http://searchengineland.com/majestic-seo-announces-new-link-metrics-trust-flow-citation-flow-121230\">trust-flow</a> of the site and link-flow to the page than <b>the content on the page</b> or the subordinate metrics that make it a contender for first page results. But, if you spent more time building authority and publishing, then you already know that rankings can be conquered in minutes and not months with a site that has credibility, trust and proper on page architecture.</p>\n<p>So, the key is to topically write (en masse) on a topic, link properly, don&#8217;t get carried away with metrics like keyword density (as topical relevance is already extracted from the market focus of the page through the <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bag-of-words_model\">bag of words model</a> anyway) and remember, it&#8217;s about conversion, not just keyword gibberish to trick machines.</p>\n<p><b>SEO Myth#2 Nofollow links don’t pass value:</b> For example, if I had believed that no follow links didn’t pass value then I may  as well believe that the tooth fairy is real, that  <a href=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/seo/seo-tips-for-internal-links-deep-links-and-sitemaps/\">building links to sitemaps</a> using (noindex, follow) doesn’t work and there is no reason to ever implement no-follow links ever again. However, on the contrary, thank god I am a rebel and have tested and dissected this method and can assure you nofollow links count for passing something more important than Pagerank.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/follow-no-follow.jpg\" width=\"509\" height=\"236\" /></p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve seen a dynamically generated site with hundreds of thousands of SKU’s (stock kept units) swell from 25K pages indexed to over 2.5 million pages indexed in Google that all ranked for 1000 models numbers per page with what should have been considered “<a href=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/seo/duplicate-content-and-seo/\">duplicate content</a>” and produce substantial lifts in traffic, leads and sales (using the sitemap strategy). And as for nofollow on links, they pass domain authority which trumps Pagerank any day for a link portfolio.</p>\n<p>Just saying, you can’t always believe what you hear, particularly if you don’t test it first. The truth is, tactics like implementing nofollow links or stacking links through link insurance (building links to your links or using sitemaps to distribute link-flow) are merely precursors to developing genuine domain trust and authority which are the most important metrics in SEO, period!</p>\n<p>All links have value (both internal links and external inbound links equally) as it is after all the fabric of the web and linked data. So, how you sculpt them is what determines how effective they are… So, don’t underestimate the power of nofollow links.</p>\n<p><b>SEO Myth#3 Links don’t have the same value as they did before: </b>This is pure poppycock. If you actually believe that eliminating links from the link graph as an intangible ranking factor is attainable, then you better get out your tin hats made from aluminum foil to protect your brain from alien invasion right now.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/broken-link.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9368\" alt=\"broken-link\" src=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/broken-link.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" /></a></p>\n<p>All kidding aside, <strong>links absolutely pass vital ranking factor</strong>, however for now, the only metric that has genuinely changed in their value is the amount of scrutiny links are under for being considered trusted and / or passing tangible citation.</p>\n<p>Combine that with the fact that the filters for undermining the relationships in the link graph is bordering on algorithmic hypersensitivity (penguin, panda and the like) means that things such as neighborhood, anchor text, social citation (which is really a derivative of authority) suggests that it’s better to have a few solid links, focus on authority and on-site factors such as <a href=\"http://www.seodesignframework.com/website-silo-architecture/\">website silo architecture</a> and build a quality site that converts instead of the older more traditional SEO approaches.</p>\n<p>But, here is the kicker, if your website has a much higher domain authority, links which would penalize or cripple a less authoritative site have far less if any impact on your web property. So, if you have concerns about negative SEO (competitors buying bad links and pointing them at your site) or links from the past haunting you, you can can always increase your domain authority and quell penalties and insulate your online assets.</p>\n<p>So, in case you wondered why we were so quiet at <a href=\"http://www.seodesignsolutions.com/\">SEO Design Solutions</a>.

If you penalize everybody, there won&#8217;t be an index to sell paid click through, so, don&#8217;t forget who really matters here (we the people).</p>\n<p>But I digress, to me just seems plain wrong (and I said not to get me started)&#8230; But, I don&#8217;t make the rules, I just know that others still have to play by them. So, since we know it still matters, we have no followed any links from SEO Ultimate <strong>just in case</strong> to prevent any unnecessary incidents.</p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it for now, stay tuned for

we’re releasing a major update for SEO Ultimate (7.6.2) and despite the minor numeric version change vs. a jump to say version 7.7,  our new lead developer Aleksandar rewrote vast swaths of the core code (as many of the older features were written <i>way back in the in PHP 4 days</i> and needed to fast-forward to present).</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9333\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption

Mightier than Ever</p></div>\n<p>We will also be rolling out additional features shortly (additional rich snippet options and media uploader tweaks for sharing your content from the page level) and even more user-interface enhancements to expedite work-flow.</p>\n<p>There are a few feature enhancements (twitter card tags in the Opengraph Integrator module), but this update was more all about two things, 1) cleaning up any deprecated code or features to ensure compatibility with WordPress core updates and 2) integration into our new framework (as the primary <b>SEO module</b>).<span id=\"more-9332\"></span></p>\n<h3>Spiffy New Digs</h3>\n<p>Upon logging into the main dashboard you’ll notice a slightly different look in the modules main screen. Have no fear, the same functionality is present to prevent culture shock in lieu of an entirely different interface, but slightly more polished with buttons for the <i>enabled, silenced, hidden or disabled</i> option for the modules, as well as  the module names now have buttons instead of text to jump to the more granular controls for each module.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9335\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-9335\" alt=\"Slightly new look, same powerful functionality\" src=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/new-seo-ultimate-modules-interface.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"238\" /><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Slightly new look, same powerful functionality</p></div>\n<p>SEO Ultimate is now part our next generation of WordPress tools called the SEO Design Framework.

The tabbed theme recurs throughout the framework to compartmentalize things into two prominent states, Global (where the defaults live) and Local Page Level Settings (to override global settings and customize content further).

But, easy doesn’t get the job done, which is why we took our time, went back to the drawing board (again and again and again) and virtually embedded our craft into this framework.<span id=\"more-9314\"></span></p>\n<p>We threw everything but the kitchen sink in this Beta and if I only had a nickel for every time I said two weeks to my business partners when asked about the launch date, let’s just say I would have allot of nickels right now.</p>\n<p>But I digress.</p>\n<p>This software was designed to make your life easier when you build your next WordPress site. Meaning, our approach was user-centric and how end-users embrace features when they have a task in mind. If the features were buried in a cluttered interface that lacks intuitive design, then no matter how spectacular they are, then they are simply ignored.</p>\n<div style=\"width: 504px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\" \" alt=\"\" src=\"http://s3.amazonaws.com/sdfimages/features/global-settings.jpg\" width=\"494\" height=\"259\" /><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The SEO Design Framework Global Settings</p></div>\n<p>So, we deliberately kept the controls minimal and centralized around two modes that permeate the design 1) <strong>global settings</strong> (that you set up first) and 2)<strong> local page level settings</strong> (to allow you to further customize each page asynchronous to the global controls.</p>\n<div style=\"width: 465px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"http://s3.amazonaws.com/sdfimages/features/local-page-level-settings.jpg\" width=\"455\" height=\"243\" /><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Easily Override Global Defaults at the Page Level</p></div>\n<p>For example, the <strong>local page level settings</strong> allow you to merely toggle features on / off (as you need them) such as building a custom header (for that page), custom navigation, toggling breadcrumbs, display title, logo, social media icons, widgets and more.</p>\n<h3>The SEO Design Framework&#8217;s Objective:</h3>\n<p>The goal was to infuse SEO (via SEO Ultimate), responsive design, HTML 5 / CSS 3, a drag-and-drop page builder, website silo architecture, the ability to export child theme and page level templates, insanely powerful widgets and flexible global and page level settings into a fine-grained and intuitive dashboard that allows you to <b>build websites that rank as great as they look</b>. And thankfully, we can now say that there’s a new framework in town, and it means business.</p>\n<div style=\"width: 519px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"  \" alt=\"Totally Reponsive, Drag and Drop Design\" src=\"http://s3.amazonaws.com/sdfimages/features/drag-and-drop.jpg\" width=\"509\" height=\"265\" /><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">SDF Drag and Drop Page Builder</p></div>\n<p>For the story behind the launch check out the <a href=\"http://www.seodesignframework.com/about/\">about us</a> page for the 411 on how it all came about, the <a href=\"http://www.seodesignframework.com/features/\">SDF features page</a> breaks down the functionality, you can preview of our <a href=\"http://www.seodesignframework.com/purchase/\">SEOBiZZ</a> child theme (which you get <b>FREE with the framework</b> as part of our <b>limited-time introductory offer</b>) and we’re even giving away <strong>SEO Ultimate version 7.6.2</strong> as well as a preconfigured settings file, the SDF quick-start settings file (essentially another child theme), a detailed user&#8217;s manual, access to our member&#8217;s area and 1 year of updates and support <strong>for only $69</strong>.</p>\n<h3>You’ll be building themes in no time with features like:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Drag and Drop Design</li>\n<li>Breadcrumbs</li>\n<li>Entrance Animations (for text and images)</li>\n<li>Parallax Backgrounds</li>\n<li>Sticky Menus</li>\n<li>Timed Light boxes for opt-in offers</li>\n<li>Totally Responsive</li>\n<li>Website Silo Architecture (no really, siloing is built in).</li>\n<li>New SEO Ultimate features for extended Twitter Card,<br />\nG+ and Open Graph functionality</li>\n<li>Shortcode Generator</li>\n<li>Custom header builder</li>\n<li>Unlimited sidebars and more…</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Take WordPress and design to a <b>Whole Nutha Level</b> with the <a href=\"http://www.seodesignframework.com/\">SEO Design Framework</a> and FYI, later this week we will be pushing SEO Ultimate version 7.6.2 to WordPress with <i>a new look</i> and some awesome new features.</p>\n<p>In closing, this reminds me of Dane Cook and his father promising to take him to <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFfCDpAyAMY\">Benson’s animal farm</a>.

In fact, there&#8217;s nothing farther from the truth.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9220\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wordpress-seo/wordpress-seo-tips-to-avoid-search-engine-penalties/\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-9220\" alt=\"SEO Ultimate Indexing Tips\" src=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/spiders.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">How to Block Bots for Optimal SEO</p></div>\n<p>In this post, we cover simple solutions to prevent redundant pages (pages with duplicate or minimal content) from getting indexed from the roving tarsus of search engine spiders.</p>\n<p>Search engines use a <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bag-of-words_model\">bag of words model</a> to deduce market-focus (<em>what each page is about</em>) and topicality and relevancy are often lost when boilerplate templates, category pages, tags or archives pages are left wide-open for spiders to crawl.</p>\n<p>By eliminating digital stragglers (thin pages), you’ll bolster your websites relevancy by having a higher percentage of <a href=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/seo-resources/seo-information-retrieval/\">unique indexed content</a>.</p>\n<p><span id=\"more-9219\"></span></p>\n<p>While users might observe a tag page, a search engine is programmed to view that page as <b>redundant content</b> with very few classifiers to distinguish itself from the boilerplate template.</p>\n<p>In fact, this is one of the prime directives of the Google Panda algorithm<i> (to eliminate low quality content through normalization within a body of documents</i>) hence, pages like these often get ignored or suppressed.</p>\n<h3>Avoid Rookie SEO Blunders</h3>\n<p>Websites with a high percentage of duplicate or minimal content on pages (such as category, archives or tag pages) can trigger algorithmic suppression.</p>\n<p>If your an avid SEO and understand HTML then you could simply implement a meta-robots command such as <a href=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/seo/duplicate-content-and-seo/\">nofollow or noindex</a>, but unless you want to do that painstakingly page by page, you’ll need a plugin such as <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seo-ultimate/\">SEO Ultimate</a> (<strong>The Premiere All-In-One WordPress SEO Plugin</strong>) from <a href=\"http://www.seodesignsolutions.com/\">SEO Design Solutions</a> that allows you to quickly and easily implement control over robots (search engine spiders) and canonicalization on the fly.</p>\n<p>If you are already using SEO Ultimate, chances are you have already implemented these changes. If not, then let’s get started by making your website canonical and segmenting any potential duplicate content penalties. This is particularly important to new websites so they can make a great first impression (by preventing non-canonical taxonomies or duplicate content from being indexed).</p>\n<p>With Google constantly updating their algorithms (Penguin, Panda and the other zoo animals running amuck) you&#8217;ll need to avoid tripping any algorithmic filters. Sharing content across multiple pages or thin content on boilerplate templates can devalue the integrity of your website architecture and spring these booby traps into action.</p>\n<p>A splintering effect occurs dynamically by default when using WordPress. For example, when you create a post, that post also gets added to a category archive and if you use tags, then each tag also becomes a page with a link “via the excerpt” to the original post.</p>\n<p>While implementing canonicalization helps, selective indexation via the <strong>Meta Robot Editor</strong> module is an ideal countermeasure to prevent multiple pages from being indexed and potentially creating penalties. Keep in mind, if its not indexed, there is no penalty (which is the basis of the Meta Robot Editor).</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9221\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-9221\" alt=\"Example of Category Archive Page with Cyclical Posts Under Category\" src=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/category-archive.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"253\" /><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Example of Category Archive Page with Cyclical Posts Under Category</p></div>\n<p>From an end-user&#8217;s perspective, tag pages are not ideal landing pages, which is why canonicalization is important. You want the search engines to show them the original page or post (not some tag or category archive).</p>\n<p>Search engines have been known to suppress websites which allow tag pages and category archives to leach through into their index by relegating them to the <a href=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/seo-tips/seo-tips-to-increase-indexation/\">supplemental results</a>.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9225\" alt=\"Example of Cyclical Posts\" src=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/cyclical-posts.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"252\" /></p>\n<h3>Taming the Search Engine Spiders</h3>\n<p>First proceed to the SEO Ultimate module manager and make sure the <b>Canonicalizer</b>, <b>Meta Robot Tags Editor</b> module, <b>Miscellaneous </b>module and <b>Nofollow Manager</b> module are all enabled &gt;&gt;&gt; then click the <strong>save change</strong>s button.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9222\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"SEO Ultimate Module Manager\" src=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/module-manager-seo-ultimate.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"898\" /></p>\n<p>If you are wondering about what <a href=\"http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;answer=139066\">canonicalization</a> is or why it matters, here&#8217;s a brief synopsis in layman&#8217;s terms.</p>\n<p><b>What it does:</b> Canonicalizer will point Google to the correct URL for your homepage and each of your posts, Pages, categories, tags, date archives, and author archives.</p>\n<p><b>Why it helps:</b> If Google comes across an alternate URL by which one of those items can be accessed, it will be able to find the correct URL and won’t penalize you for having two identical pages on your site.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"SEO Ultimate Canonicalizer Module\" src=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/canonicalizer.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"160\" /></p>\n<p>Next, click the <strong>Canonicalizer Module</strong> and under the <b>Canonical URL Generation</b> setting tick the first two boxes:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Generate <code>&lt;link rel=”canonical”/&gt;</code> meta tags and</li>\n<li>Send <code>rel=”canonical”</code> HTTP headers</li>\n</ul>\n<p>This will ensure that any potential splintering of pages or posts are redirected to the primary page (helping Google avoid any potential confusion about your website architecture or data hierarchy).</p>\n<p>Also, make sure you tick the <b>redirect requests for nonexistent pagination checkbox</b> to add an automated 301 redirect for categories or archives that have recently changed due to adding or deleting content within the category or archive.</p>\n<p><b>Please Note:</b> Canonicalizer improves on two WordPress features to minimize possible exact-content duplication penalties. The <code>&lt;link rel=\"canonical\" /&gt;</code> tags setting improves on the canonical tags feature of WordPress 2.9 and above by encompassing much more of your site than just your posts and Pages.</p>\n<p>The nonexistent pagination redirect feature fills a gap in WordPress’s built-in canonicalization functionality: for example, if a URL request is made for page 6 of a category archive, and that category doesn’t have a page 6, then by default, depending on the context, WordPress will display a blank page, or it will display the content of the closest page number available, without issuing a 404 error or a 301 redirect (thus creating two or more identical webpages).</p>\n<p>This duplicate-content situation can happen when you, for example, remove many posts from a category, thus reducing the amount of pagination needed in the category’s archive. The Canonicalizer’s feature fixes that behavior by issuing 301 redirects to page 1 of the paginated section in question.</p>\n<h3>Implementing the Nofollow and Meta Robot Tags Editor</h3>\n<p>Since you are already in the <strong>Miscellaneous Module</strong> scroll down until you see the <b>Nofollow Manager</b> module&gt;&gt;&gt; <b>Click All the Boxes</b> and <b>save changes</b> and your done with this step.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9224\" alt=\"The SEO Ultimate Nofollow Manager\" src=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Nofollow-Manager.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"345\" /></p>\n<h3>What is the Nofollow Manager?</h3>\n<p>The <strong>“Nofollow Manager”</strong> module lets you set the nofollow attribute on entire swaths of links on your site. Although Google has deprecated the use of nofollow for PageRank Sculpting in 2008, if you’re transitioning from another SEO plugin to SEO Ultimate, Nofollow Manager can help you maintain your existing settings if you’d rather take an <strong>“if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”</strong> approach.</p>\n<p>Regardless of whether or not you elect to use the <strong>Nofollow Manager</strong> module as an on page SEO tactic, you can implement the <strong>Meta Robot Tags Editor</strong> as a catch-all solution.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9226\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-9226\" alt=\"Control default settings, pages, posts, media or term archives with the Meta Robot Tags Editor\" src=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/SEO-Ultimate-Meta-Robot-Tags-Editor.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"331\" /><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Control default settings, pages, posts, media or term archives with the Meta Robot Tags Editor</p></div>\n<p>Once complete simply save your changes and that will discourage bots from crawling the directories, pages, posts, categories, etc. listed above.</p>\n<p>To take it a step further, you have the ability to granularly assign index or noindex or nofollow status to pages, posts, media, tags and post format archives (through either using the default settings or individually). Once default values are assigned, they will carry through to the other sections e.g. categories, tags, etc. unless you specify and overwrite the option by visiting the tabs specific to each type.</p>\n<p>For a more detailed explaination of all the SEO Ultimate modules feel free to <a href=\"http://www.seodesignsolutions.com/wordpress-seo/\">watch the video</a>  here.</p>\n<p>In closing, there is one more thing we suggest in the Settings&gt;&gt;&gt;Permalinks&gt;&gt;&gt; and changing from the default parameter to custom and using <code>/%category%/%postname%/</code> to create <a href=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/seo/seo-url-structure/\">keyword-rich URL structure</a> instead of the default URL output. This will give you more bang for your buck by creating keyword rich URL structures instead of the default P=ID# setting that WordPress generates by default.</p>\n<p>Later in the week, we’ll discuss how to use the <a href=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wordpress-seo/seo-ultimate-6-6/\">SEO Ultimate Siloed Categories Widget</a> in tandem with the Deeplink Juggernaut Module to quickly implement <a href=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/seo-resources/website-silo-architecture-seo-siloing-simplified/\">website silo architecture</a> quickly and easily on your blog.</p>\n<p>Make sure to check back for more SEO tips and tactics to d<a>istinguish your website in Search Engines </a>from the <a href=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/\">SEO Design Solutions Blog</a>.</p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.seodesignsolutions.com/~ff/SeoDesignSolutionsBlog?a=-oVM60xjqBo:c-KbzmXVYjg:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/SeoDesignSolutionsBlog?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SeoDesignSolutionsBlog/~4/-oVM60xjqBo\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\"/>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";a:1:{s:10:\"commentRss\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:110:\"http://www.seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wordpress-seo/wordpress-seo-tips-to-avoid-search-engine-penalties/feed/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";a:1:{s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1:\"9\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:42:\"http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0\";a:1:{s:8:\"origLink\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:105:\"http://www.seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wordpress-seo/wordpress-seo-tips-to-avoid-search-engine-penalties/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:26;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:0:\"\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:6:{s:0:\"\";a:6:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:59:\"SEO Ultimate WordPress Plugin Surpasses 1 Million Downloads\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:77:\"http://feeds.seodesignsolutions.com/~r/SeoDesignSolutionsBlog/~3/2PPuJxVFZnE/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"category\";a:4:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"WordPress SEO\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:12:\"SEO Ultimate\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}i:2;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:39:\"SEO Ultimate Passes 1 Million Downloads\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}i:3;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:20:\"WordPress SEO Plugin\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"Fri, 18 Jan 2013 00:30:27 PST\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:46:\"http://www.seodesignsolutions.com/blog/?p=9208\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:1:{s:11:\"isPermaLink\";s:5:\"false\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:516:\"Today our team rejoiced as SEO Ultimate (the Swiss-army-knife of SEO Plugins) surpassed the 1 Million download benchmark from WordPress.org.

Hence, we created two methods to limit this scenario.</p>\n<h3>Reeling in Autolinks</h3>\n<p>The first link governor is located in the <strong>quantity restrictions</strong> region of the <strong>content link settings</strong> tab of the Deeplink Juggernaut Module that allows you to limit the autolink functionality to one instance per page/post (or you can adjust the number of instances per page/post with this option), but what about the rest of the website and those other potential instances of the keyword / autolink?</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9196\" title=\"Link Quantity Restrictions Setting\" src=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/quantity-restrictions.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"236\" /></p>\n<p>Globally, aside from limiting the number of times the keyword was used in the content, what could be done to limit over optimization with autolinking?</p>\n<p>This was why we originally implemented a <strong>link cap</strong> via the <strong>per link customization feature</strong> for SEO Ultimate (on versions 6.5  to version 7.5.7) which allowed you to cap the links (and prevent additional instances of autolinking for each keyword) with a quantity based limit i.e. 15 times, 25 times, etc.</p>\n<p>While this feature worked beautifully on the majority of websites, in some server environments the per link customization site cap feature was rather intensive and created problems due to memory allocation and the inability to turn up the memory within shared hosting environments. So, now the module has evolved and been rewritten using a distinctly different approach we called <em>link dampening</em>.</p>\n<p>The Link Dampening feature allows you dampen the number of total links for internal link quantities for keywords assigned in the content link settings module of SEO Ultimate.</p>\n<h3>How it Works</h3>\n<p>If the anchor text you specify occurs many times throughout your site’s content, you may wish to reduce the overall frequency with which the anchor text is hyperlinked. You can reduce the autolinking frequency by a percentage with the Dampener field. For example:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>0% dampening will have no effect.</li>\n<li>50% dampening means the anchor text will be autolinked approximately half as often as it otherwise would be.</li>\n<li>90% dampening means the anchor text will be autolinked only 10% as often as it otherwise would be.</li>\n<li>100% dampening means the anchor text won’t be linked at all.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The <strong>“Dampener” </strong>column will only appear if you’ve enabled it under the <strong>“Content Link Settings”</strong> tab.</p>\n<p>To set the feature globally, navigate to the Deeplink Juggernaut content links setting tab and click the option [x] globally decrease autolinking frequency by <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">x%</span>, then, add your percentage for global link dampening (using the appropirate ratio above).</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9197\" title=\"Global Link Dampening Setting\" src=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/global-dampening.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"235\" /></p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can use the next checkbox down [x] Add a dampener column to the content links editor (which allows you to dampen links on a per link quantity basis).</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9198\" title=\"Per Link Dampener Setting\" src=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/per-link-dampen.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"38\" /></p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">After activation of this setting, you can dampen link percentages on a keyword / per link basis.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9205\" title=\"Content Editor Dampener Percentage\" src=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Dampener-percentage.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"233\" /></p>\n<p>We hope you enjoy and implement this useful SEO feature.

By consolidating these features into modules (that we could simply toggle on or off and configure at will) allowed us to virtually dominate hundreds of markets for our clients (without having to painstakingly customize the code time and time again).<span id=\"more-9173\"></span></p>\n<h3>Why All the Secrecy with SEO Ultimate?</h3>\n<p>Many wondered &#8211; if SEO Ultimate is so awesome, then why not show us how to use this thing? Well, frankly,  if you weren&#8217;t a client, then we didn&#8217;t want to create unnecessary competition in our markets, especially from giving away our most cherished methods free of charge.</p>\n<p>We hope this explains the lack of documentation over the years <a href=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wordpress-seo/\">aside from version updates</a> where we briefly informed users about new features, but in all honesty, we kept <strong>the real power of SEO Ultimate</strong> close to the chest &#8211; until now. The time has come to provide detailed documentation of each module, why it&#8217;s important and of course, how to use it &#8211; courtesy of our lead developer <a href=\"http://profiles.wordpress.org/JohnLamansky/\">John Lamansky</a>.</p>\n<p>Unlike some half-baked SEO plugins, we poured over 15 years of real world advanced SEO principles into this plugin. Prior to releasing this tutorial, the argument of just how powerful SEO Ultimate vs. any other SEO plugin <strong><em>may</em></strong> have been in question. However, after watching the video, this should clear up any confusion about <em>the depth</em> or <em>the real purpose</em> behind each module and the scope of the plugin.</p>\n<p>SEO Ultimate has amazing features such as:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Twitter Cards</li>\n<li>Opengraph Integration</li>\n<li>Rich Snippets (For Local Pages, Reviews and More)</li>\n<li>Automated Internal Linking (with New Link Dampening Feature)</li>\n<li>Affiliate Link Masking</li>\n<li>A Mass/Bulk Editor for Complete Editing for Meta Tags, Titles, Keywords, Categories, Media Attachments, Post Format Archives and much, much more.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>The WP Ultimate Framework</h3>\n<p>While the deliberate suppression of information regarding the inner workings of the SEO Ultimate features was not entirely deliberate,  there was a concurrent<strong> master plan</strong> in the works. Just think of it like a 6  year chess game where each  move unfolds another strategic layer of the battle plan, only to culminate in a brilliant (market-dominating) end-game and check mate. It&#8217;s like that, but in this case its all about the <a href=\"http://www.wpultimatetheme.com/\">WP Ultimate Framework</a>.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9174\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http://www.wpultimatetheme.com/\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-9174\" title=\"WPU_logo\" src=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/WPU_logo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"136\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The WP Ultimate Framework for WordPress</p></div>\n<p>The market dominating check mate in this scenario was that our proprietary SEO platform  (<a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seo-ultimate/\">SEO Ultimate</a>) was absorbed and integrated into our WordPress Framework to  provide unparalled SEO &amp; Design flexibility. The beauty for end-users is, once you gain access to the framework, you also get access to the training as well.</p>\n<h3>Is WP Ultimate Ready Yet?</h3>\n<p>Thank you for your patience, as many of you know for the past two years we&#8217;ve toiled away in the labs like obsessive compulsive perfectionists testing the WPU Framework and we&#8217;re nearly finished coding and stress-testing now. When complete, we will release 1000 copies to a select group, then take that feedback and roll even more powerful features into the Framework.</p>\n<p>Consider it a work in progress, however, recent additions to the framework include adding Twitter Bootstrap,  Google Fonts, a Lightbox Feature which can be toggled via a timer or  link), a more comprehensive Style Editor, a New Media Manager suite to insert ads, media, shortcodes and  more and a Completely Reworked Grid System to handle responsive layouts,  fluid layouts or the ability to create fixed width layouts to liberate  your design impulse and display options and build websites that rank as great as they look.</p>\n<p>Combine this with the robust SEO power of SEO Ultimate and you can see why we&#8217;re excited&#8230;</p>\n<p>For a sneak peek, you can read a few of the <a href=\"http://www.wpultimatetheme.com/wp-ultimate-features/\">WP Ultimate features</a>, or stay tuned as we release more information on the launch details over the next few weeks.</p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">WARNING!</span></strong></h3>\n<p>I prefer transparency about everything, so, do <strong>not</strong> be surprised from the opt-in form prior to accessing the video tutorial. The video is over one hour long and jam-packed with  <strong>EVERYTHING</strong> you&#8217;ll need to get the most our of SEO Ultimate.</p>\n<p>Also, keep in mind, we intend on putting other advanced training videos and tactics <strong>which will not be featured anywhere else</strong> in the members section. By opting-in, you&#8217;ll gain access to that material and will also be notified when we launch the WP Ultimate Framework.</p>\n<p>We hate spam as much as you do and respect your privacy. You can opt out-at any time.  This (content-locking) method simply helps us manage our user-base more efficiently and separate the power-users from the sheep.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9190\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http://www.wpultimatetheme.com/seo-ultimate-video-tutorial/\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-9190\" src=\"http://seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Opt-In.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"440\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Enter First Name and Email Address for Instant Access! </p></div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">&gt;&gt;&gt;<a href=\"http://www.wpultimatetheme.com/seo-ultimate-video-tutorial/\">Click Here to Watch the Official SEO Ultimate Video Tutorial</a>&lt;&lt;&lt;</h2>\n<p>We wish you the best in 2013 and look forward to providing the best, cutting-edge SEO tools for WordPress &#8211; period!
