Automattic Acquires Social Image Generator Plugin, Plans to Integrate with Jetpack

Category Image 052
Social Image Generator plugin

Automattic has acquired the Social Image Generator plugin, a commercial product that automatically creates social share images for WordPress content from a set of fully customizable templates. The plugin launched in February 2021, with a starting price of $39/year but is now closed to new sales. Daniel Post, the plugin’s creator, is joining Automattic to continue developing it as a new addition to Jetpack’s social media tools.

Automattic is always on the prowl for companies that are doing something interesting in the WordPress ecosystem. The Social Image Generator plugin expertly captured a new niche with an interface that feels like a natural part of WordPress and impressed our chief plugin critic, Justin Tadlock, in a recent review.

“Automattic approached me and let me know they were fans of my plugin,” Post said. “And then we started talking to see what it would be like to work together. We were actually introduced by Chris Coyier from CSS-Tricks, who uses both our products.”

The Social Image Generator plugin has always been a commercial-only product, which tends to limit a plugin’s reach within a market that has been so heavily trained on the freemium model. Its acquisition will undoubtedly get it into the hands of more WordPress users.

“I briefly considered building a freemium plugin but I decided to focus on paid licenses to make sure I could provide great support to all users and, frankly, to see how well it would be received compared to a freemium plugin,” Post said.

Current customers will be able to continue using the plugin “without any changes in the near term,” according to the announcement on the Jetpack blog. Those who have strong opinions about the long-term future of the plugin are encouraged to schedule a session with Jetpack Customer Research to open a dialogue.

“I look forward to the future functionality and user experience improvements that will come out of this acquisition,” Jetpack General Manager James Grierson said. “The goal of our social product is to help content creators expand their audience through increased distribution and engagement. Social Image Generator will be a key component of helping us deliver this to our customers.“

I would not be surprised to see this plugin available on one of Jetpack’s paid tiers in the near future, alongside the Publicize module’s other paid features (scheduling social media posts, tracking and viewing sharing history, and re-sharing existing content). Social Image Generator makes WordPress content more engaging on social media, has built-in support for WooCommerce, and can be extended for use with other plugins. It’s a strategic acquisition where Automattic gains an engineer as well as a new way to make Jetpack subscriptions more compelling.

“We are still figuring out our exact approach, but the initial plans are to integrate the Social Image Generator features with the existing Jetpack social tools like Publicize,” Post said. “The ability to see exactly what your social media post will look like before publishing it right from your WordPress site is incredible, and a big reason why I’m so excited about this acquisition.”

7 Things Every New Website Design Needs To Have

Featured Imgs 23

Introduction

A website design using WordPress or another platform has the potential of thousands of plugins and features.  While that is definitely a good thing, it can be difficult to choose the right ones. WordPress does not come with every feature you require in your site design. That is why we put this resource together.

Here are the seven things every website design needs:

 

1)  A well-designed logo

While a quality logo might not be the most important factor in your website design, it will still create a strong first impression. If people like your logo, then they are more likely to come back to visit your site again later on. A unique logo shows that you put some thought and effort into your site design.

 

2)  Unique content

Creating original content is extremely important for your site design. Without it, your website will not be able to stand out from the competition. Write articles about the latest news in the industry or advice on how to do something. Not only will your users love you for it, but Google prioritizes sites that add value to their users. You can also write about trends that are currently popular at the moment. If you are not confident in your writing skills, hire a writer. Provide your audience with unique content by writing about topics they are interested in.  If you are able to do this right, then they will continue visiting your site to learn more. Content is the king when it comes to having a successful website design.

 

3)  Easy social media sharing

Nowadays, it is more important than ever to have social media sharing buttons on your site. People are always looking for new ways to interact with others online so including these features is crucial for any website design. If people cannot share the content they enjoy on various platforms, then you’re missing out on potential word of mouth traffic. You can also implement social media buttons so that people can follow you on various platforms. The more followers you have, the bigger your audience gets. This enables you to grow your site design and attract even more customers in the future.

 

4)  A great testimonial page

If you want more customers, then you need to show them that you are confident in your product or service. You cannot do this if there are no customer reviews on your site.  Showcase your success by adding a testimonial page and allow people to read about how great your company is.  This will show your audience that you are dependable and trustworthy. It might even convince them to purchase from you if they have been thinking about it for a long time.

 

5)  Clean, simple design

Your website design should be easy to navigate. It should be a clean and simple design. This can be difficult to achieve especially if you do not know what you want your website to have or do. If there are too many popups, ads, social media buttons, or other elements on your page then people might get confused as to where they should look first. Ensure that your site is easy to navigate so that people can find the information they want without any obstacles getting in their way.

 

6)  Responsive web design

If your site is not responsive then it will be difficult for people to interact with you on mobile devices. This can quickly become a huge problem because more of us are relying on our phones these days. Your site needs to provide the same user experience regardless of what device is being used to view it.

 

7)  SSL Certificate

Nowadays, an  SSL certificate is crucial. It helps protect all of your private information. It will encrypt any sensitive data that is sent through your site. That way, no one will be able to get their hands on it and use it for their own purposes. I know that finding new customers can be tough but you would not want someone else using your website design to steal them instead!

 

Conclusion:

A website design can be successful if it includes 7 basic things: a well-designed logo, original content that engages the users and keeps them coming back for more, social media sharing buttons to allow people to share your content on various platforms, testimonials of satisfied customers who have used your product or service in order to show confidence in what you are selling, an easy-to-navigate site design that is simple yet elegant. The last thing every website needs is an SSL certificate that will help protect any sensitive information being sent through it. If you want assistance with creating a great website design then let us know! Our team is here waiting to partner up with you so we can help create a stellar plan together.

Don’t attach tooltips to document.body

Featured Imgs 25

Here’s Atif Afzal on using a <div> that is permanently on the page where tooltips are added/removed and how they perform vastly better than plopping those same tooltips right into the <body>. It’s not really discussed, but the reason you put them that high-up in the DOM is so you can absolutely position them exactly where you need to on the page without having to deal with hidden overflow or relative parents and the like.

To my amazement, just having a separate container without even adding the [CSS] contain property fixed the performance. The main problem now, was to explain it. First I thought this might be some internal browser heuristic optimizing the Recalculate Style, but there is no black magic and I discovered the reason.

The trick is to avoid forced recalculations of style:

[…] The tooltip container is not visible in the page, so modifying it doesn’t invalidate the complete page render tree. If the tooltip container would have been visible in the page, then the complete render tree would be invalidated but in this case only an independent subtree was invalidated. Recalculating Style for a small subtree of 3 doesn’t take a lot of time and hence is faster.

Looks like popper.js was used here, so you have to be smart about it. We use toast messages on CodePen, and it’s the only third-party component we use at the moment: react-hot-toast. I checked it, and not only do we tuck the messages in a <div> of our own, but the library itself does that, so I think we’re in the clear.

How to Change the Admin Color Scheme in WordPress (Quick & Easy)

Featured Imgs 19

Do you want to change the admin color scheme in WordPress?

Changing the color scheme of the WordPress admin lets you create a custom dashboard for you and your team. The color scheme can match the design of your brand, or just feature your favorite colors.

In this article, we’ll show you how to change the admin color scheme in WordPress easily.

How to change the admin color scheme in WordPress

Why Change the Admin Color Scheme in WordPress?

If you’re not a fan of the default admin color scheme in WordPress, then you can easily change the color scheme to something you like.

You can also change the color scheme to match the design of your WordPress theme, or even add a dark mode feature.

This can be useful if you have a membership site or online store where users can log in to your site, and want your website and admin dashboard to offer a similar experience.

You could also use a different admin color scheme for your staging site to more easily tell it apart from your live site.

That being said, let’s show you a few different ways you can change the admin color scheme in WordPress. You can use the quick links below to jump straight to the method you want to use.

How to Change the Admin Color Scheme with WordPress Default Settings

WordPress has a built in feature that lets you choose from a few predetermined color palettes for your WordPress admin dashboard.

To change the admin color scheme, simply login to your WordPress admin dashboard, and then navigate to Users » Profile.

After that, select the new color scheme in the ‘Admin Color Scheme’ section by clicking the radio button.

Select new admin color scheme

There are 9 different color schemes to choose from.

As you click different options, the color scheme will automatically change.

Admin color scheme change example

Once you’ve selected a color scheme you like, you need to scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the ‘Update Profile’ button.

Save new admin color scheme

You can also control the admin color scheme for other registered users on your WordPress website.

To do this, go to Users » All Users, and then hover over the user and click the ‘Edit’ button.

Edit user color scheme

Then, simply follow the same process as above to change the admin color scheme for that user.

Once you’re finished, make sure to click the ‘Update Profile’ button at the bottom of the page.

How to Create Custom Admin Color Schemes in WordPress

If you want even more color choices for your admin dashboard, then you can create custom color schemes and upload them to your WordPress blog.

To do this, go to the free WordPress Admin Colors website and click the ’Start Creating’ button.

Click start creating button

Then, enter a name into the ‘Color Scheme Name’ box.

This name will show up in your WordPress admin panel as a new color option.

Enter color scheme name

After that, you can fully customize your color scheme by clicking the color options in the ‘Choose your colors’ section.

To change one of the existing colors, click the color and choose your new color from the popup. You can click anywhere on the color picker, or enter a hex code for a specific color.

Click to customize colors

Once you’re finished customizing your color scheme, click the ‘Generate Color Scheme’ button at the bottom of the page.

This will create the color scheme code that you need to add to WordPress.

Click to generate color scheme

On the next page there will be two different code files.

You need to download the CSS file and copy the code snippet and paste it into your favorite text editor. We will be adding these to your WordPress files.

Download CSS and copy PHP code

If you haven’t done this before, then check out our guide on how to copy and paste code in WordPress.

You can add the code snippet to your functions.php file, in a site-specific plugin, or by using a code snippets plugin.

For this tutorial, we’ll use a code snippets plugin. It’s the easiest and most beginner-friendly method of adding code snippets to your WordPress site.

First, you need to install the Code Snippets plugin. For more details, see our beginner’s guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon activation, you’ll have a new menu item labeled ‘Snippets’ in your WordPress admin bar. Go ahead and navigate to Snippets » Add New.

Then, give your code snippet a name. This can be anything to help you remember your code.

After that, you can paste the snippet you copied above into the ‘Code’ box.

Name and add new code snippet

Next, click the ‘Save Changes and Activate’ button at the bottom of the screen.

This will save the code and activate the new admin color scheme.

Save and activate code snippet

Now, you need to upload the CSS stylesheet you downloaded earlier to your theme directory in your WordPress hosting account.

To do this, you can use an FTP client, or the file manager option in your WordPress hosting control panel.

If you haven’t used FTP before, then you might want to check out our guide on how to use FTP to upload files to WordPress.

First, you need to connect to your website using an FTP client, or the file manager in cPanel. Once you’re connected, you need to navigate to the /wp-content folder.

Select wp-content folder FTP

Inside the wp-content folder, you will see a folder called themes. This is where WordPress stores all the themes your website uses or has used in the past.

You need to click on the themes folder, and then open up the folder for the theme you’re using.

Open themes folder and select theme

Then, upload the display.css file that you downloaded.

Your CSS file will have the name that you chose earlier.

Upload new CSS file

Note: If you change WordPress themes, then you will need to upload the CSS file to your new theme folder.

After that, navigate to Users » Your Profile.

Then, you can select the new color scheme you just created.

Select custom color scheme

If you want to use this color scheme, then make sure to click the ‘Update Profile’ button at the bottom of the page.

How to Control the Default Admin Color Scheme for New Users

When a new user creates an account, they’ll have the option to customize their color scheme. But, you may want to control the default admin color scheme or prevent users from changing the color scheme altogether.

The easiest way to do this is by using the free plugin Force Admin Color Scheme.

First, you need to install and activate the plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon activation, navigate to Users » Profile and then select your admin color and click the ‘Force this admin color scheme on all users’ checkbox.

Check force admin color scheme checkbox

After that, click the ‘Update Profile’ button at the bottom of the page.

Now the default admin color scheme will be the same for all new and existing users on your site.

The plugin also disables the admin color scheme selector for all of your users. The only users who can change this color are those with admin access.
