Let me guess. You have a website that won’t perform Ajax calls, the add media button has stopped working, or woo commerce won’t go one action further on any front, right?

If not those three gnarly yet common WordPress challenges, your web developer console may be running amok with endless “uncaught type error” errors across multiple javascript files.

Nevertheless, hang around WordPress long enough, and the probability of themes, plugins, and/or core WordPress updates conflicting with one another will happen. Unlike core WordPress updates, most themes and plugins don’t encounter technical challenges when updating. However, WordPress websites often perform extremely well as long as themes, plugins, and core updates are well-maintained on a consistent basis.

Long before there were auto-enabled updates across all three platforms, I made a decent living — still do to some extent — logging into clients’ environments and updating necessary themes, plugins, and core updates.

I’ve had my share of WordPress core updates that have halted any and all web activity, including the administrative dashboard — the latest experience was the WordPress update (nightmare). WordPress, jQuery Migrate 1.X was a planned stage removal regarding updating WordPress’s overall jQuery version — virtually broke every plugin and theme known to man, including the very popular Classic WordPress Editor and Yoast plugins.

Most domain investors are often small fish in an ever expanding sea of domain names. While most domain investors operate portfolios of 2,500 and less domains, there are many well-known investors and firms with tens or hundreds of thousands — Mike Mann, Huge Domains, BuyDomains.com, to name a few.

Today’s podcast guest reminds of a NFL Hall of Famer’s quote from not too long ago:

“If you look good, you feel good. If you feel good, you play good. If you play good, they pay good.”

“An all-virtual conference or event will never work.”

“People meeting online only for a conference is simply a waste of time and the most outlandish idea I’ve ever heard of or thought about.”

“Why would I ever attend an online-only conference?”

Let’s be real with one another or, at least, ourselves for a moment. How many of us likely thought and said those words, if not something similar, before COVID-19?

Little did I, you, or anyone else realize that NamesCon Global 2020: Economic Domain Forum could likely be the last physical domain investing conference anyone in the industry would attend and for a long while.

Upping the ante, none of us certainly thought or ever imagined a completely virtual domain conference some eight to nine months later that would forever transform the landscape of the conference experience.

As Harold Arlen penned, “Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.” And so it goes with the industry’s leading domain conference. We’re in uncharted waters regarding what is next for the conference experience, especially NamesCon.

So many questions to answer as the future fast approaches.  Will the conference experience go back to being in-person only?

Global and local tourism has certainly been greatly impacted in ways that will never go back to what it once was.

In fact, it’s been predicted that global passenger traffic (revenue passenger kilometers or RPKs) will not return to pre-COVID 19 levels until 2024, a year later than previously projected — as cited by the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

And if it’s greatly impacted global travel, then one could only imagine the abysmal impact it’ll have on the local touring scene throughout the world.
