Johns Rant:
Its Episode 464 and well life has been life, it is what it is. Support for the show has been very light althougb I do have some feedback about it. Lets keep the faith for at least another 6 mo's….. This is #23 of 52 episodes for 2020..
And as we are now 23 weeks into 2020 and 12 weeks of the Rona, life was returning in many places but the media has found a new focus and is fanning the flames of protesters who have turned into looters and rioters, mostly in the US but also across the globe.
We are only a week and a half away from the longest day of the year and here's hoping it brings some great changes to the craziness we have experienced the last few months.
These are indeed strange times to be alive and I am doing what I can to prepare my kids and grandkids for what is coming.
One of the best things you can do is relax take a breath, buy a gun, go for a walk, build a garden and realize things not nearly as bad as the news says they are. So save your sanity and your Amygdala and find out why your not gonna die by listening to the No Agenda Show
I do have show spaces coming up for guest hosts. If you would like to join me as a guest host on the show, please reach out to me at john@wppro.ca You can also go to https://wppluginsatoz.com/guesthost/
I have some news from the world of WordPress for you today as well as some great plugins.

ClassicPress Options
ClassicPress is a fast growing fork of WordPress that is starting to come into its own. ClassicPress is focused on Business Websites, runs fast and is looking pretty good. There are a few plugins specifically for ClassicPress and all plugins for WordPress 4.9.9 work well on it. I do believe it has a future.
One thing I am looking forward to in the ClassicPress World is the expansion of the number of ClassicPress specific plugins and their own repository. Currently there are not a lot of ClassicPress specific plugins but I do know it is going to grow and I'll have to expand this segment then. Who knows, it could take over the whole show.
This week for ClassicPress I have:
Just a note for my ClassicPress listeners please send me info to help keep the ClassicPress section full.
