Liz Strauss – Will I Break WordPress? Liz Strauss wanted to publish 260 posts, one post a

minute, with the WordPress future post/timestamp feature. Can WordPress do it?

WordPress handled it. An XML sitemap Plugin crashed – unable to keep up

the publishing pace. Push WordPress. It can take it. Check Plugins, Themes, and customization as problem

sources. WordPress breaks usually because you did something

to WordPress. Blame accordingly so we all learn from you pushing WordPress.

We Love Breaking WordPressIt’s important to push WordPress as

much as possible in order to break it.By breaking WordPress, we learn more

about the limitations, weaknesses, and strengths of WordPress.

Share how to fix it and all win. When you break WordPress, the community benefits.

Our Blogs Depend on WordPress Plugins

WordPress bloggers depend upon WordPress Plugins for our blogs to work how we want them to work.

WordPress Plugin authors push and break WordPress and we all benefit.

Celebrate and support your favorite WordPress Plugin Author.
