Q&A: How can I prevent WordPress from automatically installing updates?

Posted on November 6, 2018

wordpress-logoQuestion from Edwin G.:  I’m really upset Rick. I checked my email this morning and found that both of my WordPress blogs had been updated to the latest version during the night without my knowledge or consent. I don’t like that!

I’ve had problems in the past with WordPress core updates breaking my blogs so now I always update my blogs one at a time, then check to make sure everything still works before updating the next blog.

Q&A: How can I disable the ‘Memories’ (i.e. old posts) that pop up on Facebook?

Questions from Ellen H.:  Hi Rick. I need your help with something on Facebook.

I hope you can help me disable them. Thanks Rick.

The RAVPower 3-Port 30W USB Travel Charger (#ad) is one of the handiest chargers I have ever used. It’s small enough to easily carry it around in a pants pocket, yet it supplies a respectable 30 watts of charging power to up to two devices.  [Read more…]

Posted on November 5, 2018

Flickr has long been one of the most popular free photo storage services on the Internet.

However, that’ll almost certainly change once these changes the company just announced take place on January 8, 2019.
