December 1, 2016 — WordPress is tremendous with scaling for a large audience, especially for online learning. However, unlike a typical classroom, engagement among a community is not a given. Let’s explore the tools and tactics you can use with WordPress to create an engaged community through strategic student interaction, gamification, challenges and content to keep visitors returning, growing and flourishing in your website. Not only will we explore the “how” with the plugins that achieve this, but also the “why;” strategies that actually work. Having worked with 500 members in WP Elevation (a large community member WordPress website) and over 100 members in RockStar Empires (a large community member WordPress website), I’ve quickly seen what it takes to avoid the sound of “crickets” and inspire a passionate community.

December 1, 2016 — Oups, des affichages ne sont pas tels que conçus, pire mon site plante. À L’AIDE ! Partout on me répond :

” Bien sûr, tu avais auparavant testé/validé ta modification hors ligne ? Et tu as fait une sauvegarde « un backup » avant la modification en production ? ”

” Euh, non, je n’ai pas d’environnement de test… je ne sais pas par où commencer… et pour la sauvegarde, non, je n’en ai pas, de toute façon, c’était juste une petite chose que je voulais modifier… J’ai toujours fait mes modifications directement sur le site en prod et cela a toujours bien fonctionné ! “
Pendant que je recherche et expérimente des solutions, mon site est soit affreux, soit inaccessible… Excellent pour mon entreprise !!!

Cela vous interpelle ? OK, on comprend tous l’importance des sauvegardes, mais comment on fait ? Comment je la remets en place la sauvegarde ? Comment je crée un environnement de test ? Et si je suis en multisite ?

Nous allons tenter de démystifier l’environnement de test et les sauvegardes, comment faire pratico-pratique avec des outils gratuits, avec en prime quelques erreurs à éviter.
