Got any proof of a case where this happens? I'm using it to redirect to https:// and it redirects deep links to the right deep links, and nothing goes to the home page

Well, I relate to both this and the older 'bad correspondent' article immensely. I have struggled with this for at least 2-3 years now. The only times I can be truly productive (in…

> "civilised world" is kept together by midddle- and working class people. Well, sort of. I think first you need technological innovation, and then the middle- and working class fi…

With WP I think it's a problem when people sell others pre-existing plugins and themes as their own work. I think a self proclaimed WP developer should at least know all there is t…
