WordPress News Roundup No.11

Welcome to the next, fresh WordPress news roundup (yes, not weekly anymore, but still up to date). Like almost every Friday we collect the links to the best articles in WordPress community.

We also share WordPress links on Twitter all week, follow 87studios here.

From the personal news, this month we started using ManageWP - pretty nice service, review soon. You may also noticed new logo design, I'm pretty curious what do you think about it. Just to compare, here is the new vs. old one. Let me know in the comments!

But let's get back to the main topic here. Since last roundup we've seen a big rush in the WordPress world. I was shocked after reading this most honest hosting review and today I found response. You can also read some comments on WP Tavern. However, shame on you WP Engine.

That was the sad part, now it's time for some good news. Our friends from TeslaThemes were celebrating 1st Year Anniversary with fantastic offers and are running Anniversary Mega Giveaway! If you want to learn more about Tesla Themes, check our review.

But that's not all. Also Elegant Themes had a reason to celebrate - Divi 2.0 was released! Thanks to that, you can find multiple giveaways around the web! Just use Google Search 😉

Also Oli from Theme Furnace is holding a 50% off sale on until Monday, in preparation for the site relaunch. Use Coupon Code: PRELAUNCH14 for 50% Off Every Theme & Club !!

And a small teaser, we will host a massive birthday giveaway next month with multiple prizes worth over $2600, so stay tuned - if you don't want to miss them, sign up to 87studios newsletter.

Now it's time for regular links - happy reading!
