Pier #11 – WPvivid, WPTurbo, Publer, Coolors & Iubenda

Hi there,

Welcome to the 11th issue of The Pier. We have been using WPvivid on Ahoi.dev for a couple of years now and are more than happy with the backup and migration plugin for WordPress. Fortunately, we haven’t had to use its rollback feature. Speaking of which, after the latest update, there was a bit of a fuss about the revised rollback feature. Backups are now done locally, rather than uploaded to a cloud storage. Good news: Support has confirmed that they will be adding support for database backups in rollbacks and cloud storage uploads again.

Here is a selection of the latest and greatest blog posts we published this week on Ahoi.dev. You will also find some interesting industry news, the latest directory listings on The Port, job openings, and deals. Enjoy!
