Simple:Press Version 5.5.1 – Optimisations
It might not be the most interesting subject but it is something that effects all of our users – and that is performance and optimisation. The next update – version 5.5.1 – will see us continuing the performance improvements we made in 5.5.0. We have analysed our database tables in some depth, tweaked some indexing […]

WordPress 3.9.0 and Simple:Press 5.4.2 Land Together
