Foxco Super Simple 301 Redirects (WordPress Plugin)

Finally, a redirect plugin that just works. There’s a ton of 301 Redirect plugins, but they’re mostly terrible and don’t address common source-data quality issues. Tired of overly complicated redirect plugins that are complex to use but don’t do complex things behind the scenes? Us too. That’s why we built this. What it does Point old URLs to new ones. That’s it. No confusing settings, no feature bloat, no “enterprise dashboard” nonsense. Just straightforward URL redirects that work every time. Why you’ll love it It’s actually simple. Type in your old URL, type in your new URL, hit save. Done. Your redirect is live. Bulk imports. Got a spreadsheet with hundreds of redirects? Upload it. We handle all the messy stuff – weird characters, capital letters, smart quotes from Excel – so you don’t have to think about it. Smart matching. Someone types the URL in all caps? Mixed case? Doesn’t matter. We’ll match it and redirect them anyway. Track what’s working. See which redirects are actually getting used. Nice for knowing what old content people are still finding. Perfect for The basics No complicated rules. No regex nightmares. No annual subscription fees. Just redirects that work, even when replatforming from some ancient system to a modern one. Like 3DCart / Shift4Shop .. that one is the worst. Click the pic below to download. Issues? Email foxco@foxco.net

WordPress: “Publishing failed. Could not update post in the database”

A client had this very strange issue, they thought it was a resources issue since their Hostinger account was telling them that they were nearly out of resources. After spending an hour checking all the major things I looked at the draft post in question and saw that it was full of… emojis. Now why wouldn’t WordPress want you to insert emojis into a post? Their native editor is called Gutenberg, the inventor of the printing press, surely they don’t have such a bizarre requirement. Nope, it’s the emojis. Remove the emojis and it will publish.

CSS: Flickering Lightbulb Effect

I’m an old timey guy who likes old timey things. I’m a sucker for an old diner or dive bar where the sign flickers and then stays bright, showing that it’s trying and ultimately, succeeding. It reminds me of Early Times whiskey, and how it doesn’t taste like the future, it tastes like the past. But that’s another story. You might want to add this effect somewhere on your website, it’s fairly easy. Either add this to your stylesheet or Blocks / Elementor / Gutenberg as a CSS class. This is the class: flicker-lightbulb (i’ve provided an alternative class below if you like a slightly different style). Here’s the CSS, feel free to copy and paste:

WordPress Plugin: Remove Spam Users

For some reason this plugin doesn’t exist, and I have no idea why. You’ve probably seen spam users sign up day after day, you get the email alerts but figure you’ll sort it out later. But you never get to it. Suddenly you have thousands of spam users. I let a client’s site (they sell very expensive items) go a long time without adding any kind of sign up security, the thinking being that rich people are not good at the internet, and better to let some spammers come through than to block their feeble attempts at making contact. It’s sound logic.

PROJECT: Marine Battery (MarineBattery.com)

Foxco is finishing up a cool project right now, Marine Battery (MarineBattery.com) built on WordPress & WooCommerce. What makes Marine Batteries interesting? In 2023, the global Marine Battery market was valued at $550 million. By 2030, it’s projected to surge to $2.3 billion—a staggering 400% growth in under a decade. While the broader battery market may slow due to longer-lasting lithium tech, marine batteries are on a different trajectory, drawing sharp investor and industry focus. What’s Driving the Growth? This shift marks a fundamental transformation in how recreational and small commercial boats are powered—and marine batteries are at the heart of it. A couple cool features on the Marine Battery website: 1. Trolling Motor Runtime Calculator: how long will your trolling motor last per outing, based on various criteria, such as: 2. Marine Battery Lifespan Calculator: Whereas the other calculator will tell you about how long your battery will last out in the water, this calculator tells you how long your battery will last over time (years etc) also based on various criteria. 3. Applications, Cross References & Big Data. Eventually this site will have thousands of SKUs and a listing for every make model and series of watercraft ever made (Big Data!). I’ll add more as the project is finalized.

Complete Lists Of Google Product Categories (Shopping)

If you’re looking for a full list of the Google Shopping attribute google_product_category you’ve come to the right place, and are probably wondering why it was so hard to find it. Who knows. Here’s a few formats for you to choose from: Here’s the categories without the category IDs:

Javascript Age Gate For Shopify (21+, 18+)

checking an ID

A Foxco client has a Shopify store with too many apps which slows the site down (and of course they all cost some amount of money each month). Because it’s an alcohol delivery and gift site by law shoppers must be over 21 years old or older. Hey check out the site if you like top shelf whiskey, rum, gin, bourbon, wine, tequila etc it’s called Sipsy.com 🙂 Many other sites require you to be 18+ for a variety of reasons. Anyhow, below is the javascript code with instructions on how to add it to your Shopify store. I’ve highlighted the areas in yellow that you might want to change. If you like this js please consider using Foxco.net as your redirect URL (too many people use Disney.com and they don’t really deserve all those backlinks IMO). If anyone requests it i’ll make a lightweight wordpress plugin based on this with styling tools — or you can just install the .js below yourself.

Excel Formulas to Get Day of The Month

Here’s a basic but useful Excel formula. I haven’t been blogging much lately so want to create a few helpful posts. Noticed when I was sharing a more complicated formula that some of the smaller pieces might not be well understood. Basic DAY Function For Today’s Date Common Examples Date in Cell Formula Result 1/15/2025 =DAY(A1) 15 12/3/2024 =DAY(A1) 3 6/25/2025 =DAY(A1) 25 Text Format (if you want “01” instead of “1”) Extract Day from Text Date If your date is stored as text (like “June 25, 2025”): Multiple Cells To get the day from multiple date cells, just change the cell reference: Note:
