Need to manage files directly on your WordPress website?
You want to download the plugin WP File Manager. I used it to fix a problem with optimizing my site and it worked great. I use GTMetrix to optimize my site and it said that there was an image that was causing my site to be slow. I didn’t see the image in the Media library so I directly went to where it said it was and deleted the photo I didn’t need. It worked great. If you have ever used Windows File Manager in Windows then you will know what to do. Guess what? It turns out that deleting the file didn’t solve my problem. I waited for days…

Want to add search to your WordPress site? Use Ivory Search plugin.
I wanted to have search on my website, but my theme didn’t support it. I found a great plugin called Ivory Search and it allowed me to easily add a search box to my website. It was very easy to install. You only had to do a minor amount of setup, but it is basically plug and play. You can exclude information from being searched if you want and I did that. It was a great and useful plugin for me to use personally and professionally at my company website. One of the challenging things about working with themes is that often the company that designs them doesn’t make them…

If you want your Testimonials page looking its best, you want to use the Strong Testimonials plugin. There are so many things that are positive about this plugin.

I installed it and I made my first testimonial. Then I made a second testimonial and then I created a view that allows me…

Do you want to add games to your WordPress site?
You can do that if you use the plugins called “Snake” and “WHA puzzle”. You can also make some great games using the H5P Content plugin. I have used all of these plugins to make games for the company I work for and our customers loved it. It helps them pass the time so they aren’t bored, and if they are on your webpage they are engaged in your brand. You can see an example of these games on my company webpage. Being a resource for your clients sometimes means that you have to be creative and find ways to add value in their life. I like to imagine how…

Grammarly useful in Chrome/Brave and Word programs
I installed Grammarly in my Chrome/Brave and Word programs. It has been useful. No I do not get any financial benefit from sharing this. I am sharing it because it has helped me write better copy and is one of the tools I use when writing. Another tool I use is Hemingway Editor. Like Grammarly it checks to make sure that I am writing the most easily readable English I can write. Which one is the best? They both have their pros and cons. I wouldn’t say that one is better than the other. They both have free versions, and if you pay more for a one time purchase, they…
