With Thanksgiving mere days away, the virtual offices of WebDevStudios have quieted a bit, as team members take some much-needed vacation time to decompress and relax with their loved ones. However, that doesn’t mean things haven’t been busy around here. Sure, it’s calm now, but there’s been an abundance of hustle this month. Let’s take a look at the latest company news from WebDevStudios (WDS).
Free WordPress Support
The WordPress maintenance and support arm of our company, Maintainn, is offering its most popular seasonal deal. Purchase five hours of WordPress support, get one free! The Giving Thanks special offer is just a way for WDS and Maintainn to let you know how grateful we are for the client relationships that have been established this year and the many years past.
Giving Thanks expires December 4th. So, hurry! Get all the details on this promotional offer at Maintainn’s blog.
CPTUI Milestone
It feels like just yesterday when our most popular plugin, Custom Post Type UI (CPTUI), hit 800,000+ active installations. Today, we are proud to announce that we’ve now hit 900,000+. Incredible!
The world’s favorite plugin for managing custom post types and taxonomies for your WordPress website wouldn’t be what it is today without the ongoing support and development of WDS Support Engineer, Michael Beckwith. In this blog post, Michael shares what a day of his life is life, including the time he spends supporting and developing CPTUI. Give it a read today.
Take a look at what CPTUI can do for your WordPress site. Visit the plugin’s page in the WordPress repository.
