Schedule Change, Welcome the Cronkite of WP News

Posted on by PressNomics

Small schedule change. Brian Krogsgard, the Cronkite of WP News is filling in for Carl Hancock. Carl will hopefully still be able to join us at PN4 as there is a heap of Gravity Forms swag en route.

There is a chance that I may not be able to attend due to personal reasons and I’d rather not hold up a speaking slot at such a great event.  Knowing that, I don’t want PressNomics having to scramble the week of the event to fill the slot. 

VayuoUbSBrian will be filling in, and within our community he needs no introduction. But I’ll give him one anyways. Quickly rising to become the most respected source of WordPress Industry News, Brian writes at PostStatus.com and dives deep into issues concerning our ecosystem. I fully expect a few strawmen to go up in flames during his talk.

Cheers.

WP All Export

This post has been supplied by one of our amazing event sponsors. Enjoy.

Easy WordPress Exports with WP All Export

Around 8 months ago we launched WP All Export with the goal of making a customized WordPress export as easy as possible. You can set up a WordPress CSV export in minutes with a simple drag and drop interface. Setting up a WordPress XML export is just as easy – simply drag the elements into whatever order you need them to be in.

"WooCommerce

WP All Export is fully compatible with WooCommerce. A WooCommerce product export can be configured in a few clicks, allowing you to easily edit the data in Excel, and then re-import with WP All Import. Making a WooCommerce order export is just as simple, so creating customized sales reports is no longer a headache.

Just like WP All Import, WP All Export will run your export in small chunks, piece by piece. This means you can export WordPress users, even tens of thousands of them, on small underpowered shared hosts without a problem.

We’d love for you to give WP All Export a try and tell us what you think: http://www.wpallimport.com/try

  • 3five is a newcomer at the community level, and will be sponsoring the coffee this year. Yay Java.
  • CrowdFavorite is back again as a community sponsor.
  • Pressed.net is a first time sponsor at the C level. White-label managed WordPress.
  • a2Hosting is a first time sponsor at the community level.

Announcing Pressnomics’ First Speaker! Cory Miller

Posted on by Sally

design

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you’ll feed him for a lifetime.

Cory’s very generous with knowledge and we’re proud to announce that he agreed to speak at Pressnomics 4. He was the first person that we asked to speak because he’s a good friend with a great business (a little company called iThemes) and many similar values. He has a lot to offer this world and we’re lucky enough to get to hear some of his thoughts. His talk at Wordcamp Denver regarding mental health was important for our community so we asked for part two and how it relates to business. I’m already very excited to hear him speak!
