Web content stuff is hard.It's the hardest parts of web projects.And if they've just got their "IT guy" working on it, well, it'll be a mess like this for a little while. But I'm sure they'll figure it out.
This, I do not understand. Who puts an unfinished website up live? I mean, if it was my own personal website and I really didn't care if it was a mess while people randomly hit it, fine. But a real company with items for sale? Why not put it on a local server and test it for a while before pushing all the code to the real server?
The question remains as to why not keep the old parts ordering system (which was always separate from their regular online store) until the parts inventory was moved to their online store. This whole fiasco started when they ahem, "improved" their website.I know, some sort of compatibility issue. Back in the day . . . (yes, I'm becoming an old fart).
Okay, I guess it could be just a "small company" thing. Admittedly, I don't do this type of programming much (even though I'm a developer by trade). For web sites I've built in the past, I just put them all on a local web server, and hit it with a browser to test it. It is invisible to the whole universe, not even on the internet. Once it is working, upload all the files to the real server. Is maintaining a separate parallel server just for testing really that big a deal?
any company that is using WordPress is asking for trouble, it's like locking the front door and putting the key under the welcome mat, you stand a high risk of being compromised
