[Rose] Does anyone else wish that when they made a photo post (via Quill/OwnYourGram/anything except via WP) that the first photo was made into the featured photo? And/or that photos were shared via Bridgy?
#
sknebel [Rose]: if photos are marked up bridgy should share them
#
sknebel and if it's a photo post, they should be marked up with u-photo

#
[Rose] Bridgy is not sharing photos, I created a post via Quill today and it went to Twitter pictureless
#
sknebel link?

Loqi [Rosemary Orchard] I’ve been playing with Integromat recently! I’m still using and loving Zapier, but this can do some things Zapier can’t – and vice versa!
#
sknebel the photo is not marked up there
#
[Rose] The question is: why?
#
[Rose] Something is up as I can't edit that post in the WP editor, but I can highlight the text (which is coloured white for some reason?)
#
[Rose] In multiple browsers, I can edit other posts without an issue though.
#
[Rose] So next time I have a photo to post I'll try it directly in WP and see what happens

[Will_Monroe] [Rose] re Integromat, that looks pretty neat! Thanks for sharing.
#
[Rose] It's pretty darn awesome

[asuh] Anyone here using a VPS with Managed WordPress? Dreamhost has completely dropped the ball in the last 24+ hours with their VPS, letting two of my WP client sites be offline for about 26 hours straight. Their support is non-existent.
#
[Rose] I have several sites on just regular shared hosting with Hetzner and am happy
#
[Rose] And also a VPS with them, where I have a few test sites.
#
[Rose] But it's not managed
#
[asuh] Hetzner looks nice, thanks. Too bad it doesn’t take USD. VPS is necessary because of high monthly traffic, too much for shared.

[grantcodes] Wpengine is like the top level one but expensive, I've also used flywheel which is really nice and more reasonably priced. I moved my wordpress sites to a aws lightsail server and use a management cli thing that installs and sets up all the requirements.
#
[asuh] Interesting, I’m seeing WPengine and Flywheel probably being competitors, similarly priced but a bit more expensive than I was hoping for. Flywheel keeps coming up in podcasts and blog posts so I’m aware of them more now.
#
[asuh] I’m also reviewing Linode and Digital Ocean but I see they’re a lot more hands on with everything as well, requiring more DevOps than I was hoping for since it’s not entirely my site. I want to outsource the security to the hosting company if I can find something reasonably priced. Bluehost and LiquidWeb seem to have this as well but I know they started on the Dreamhost level of hosting

jeremycherfas [asuh]: I have a site on Managed Dreampress and it has never given a moment’s trouble.
#
jeremycherfas Not cheap, but worth it.
