We have recently learned that the InfiniteWP Client, a popular plugin for managing WordPress blogs, has been compromised and was being actively used by hackers to gain access to the blogs and even the servers that the plugin was installed on. Since this isn’t the first time this plugin has been compromised, we have decided […]

Our old blog status was a bit tricky to understand. It was confusing for our users and because of it, we’ve been working for a while on the new blog status in order to solve this problem. One of the problems with the old blog status was the “Up” status. A lot of users thought […]

We are always looking to see what we can do to make improvements here at Easy Blog Networks and lately, we’ve been quite busy! Besides minor fixes and bug squashing, here is a short breakdown of what we have been up to, what is in the works, and things to look forward to. We want […]

Back in December of last year, we let you know that we decided to temporarily pause the automatic update feature of EBN blogs. We did this to protect your blogs from potentially breaking due to the upcoming WordPress 5.0 update, which many people thought was rushed. We were initially going to re-enable the feature as […]

A few months ago we’ve made some minor changes to the UI (see: EBN UI changes on Blog List and Activity) but we weren’t happy with the overall look and feel of the EBN App. So we put our heads together and came up with a completely new design. We wanted to change several elements […]

Blog transfers are one of the pain points that have been on our radar for quite some time and our goal is to completely automate them. Until now blog transfers were done semi-automated.

We are introducing more changes to the UI. This time we have touched the Settings page. We felt that there is too much information on one page so our main goal was to divide those settings into more logical sections. Now, instead of having just one “Settings” page, we have three pages: Account Settings Billing […]

The WordPress 5.0 is the biggest release of the year. With the controversy surrounding this release, we’ve decided to disable our automatic update feature until all kinks have been resolved. You can still manually update the WordPress core, at your own convenience.  What’s in the new version and will it affect EBN? The WordPress 5.0 update will […]

A few days ago we’ve pushed some UI changes to the Easy Blog Networks app. The goal of these changes was to polish the existing interface and to remove elements which we feel aren’t needed. To avoid any unnecessary confusion, we will review those changes one by one and explain our thought process behind it. […]

For the last 6 months, we’ve been working hard on making EBN source code as easy to maintain as possible. The majority of EBN is written in Python and as some of you know the End of Life for Python 2.7 has been set to 2020 (ref). I’m happy to announce that we’ve already rewritten […]
