One very useful WP plugin is Shiba widgets too!
Never heard of that! 😛 Ill look in to that too! 🙂
Hola,
Super post
How do you integrate W3 Total Cache with Nginx? I’m very interested in this issue. Please share your method. Thanks 🙂
actually w3 total cache with nginx doesnt require any rewrites. Just upload the plugin and it works! 🙂
Interesting! From your experience, which functions of W3 Total Cache works with Nginx? I see in your other article that Memcached function works. Anything else…? 🙂
everything works without any rewrites on nginx! 🙂 There is no limitation like wp super cache!
Oops! I will try it soon 😀
Hiya, I am really glad I’ve found this info. Today bloggers publish just about gossips and web and this is actually annoying. A good blog with exciting content, that is what I need. Thank you for keeping this web site, I will be visiting it. Do you do newsletters? Can not find it.
It would be nice to see this updated as it’s two years old now.
sure but most of the things arent changed 🙂
