    Using most sites is a chore now. No sooner did we get rid of popups they mandated that popups were required An opt in or out at the browser level should be enough

    Alternatives to Opencart?

    Wait.. there are shopping carts other than Magento.. weird. Woo is fine.. but you will always be thinking that you have a shopping cart glued to a CMS because that's what it is (we host some massive woo stores that are doing just fine and the owners are very happy with their decisions)...

    Website Keeps Running Out of Memory

    You can always rename pub/media/catalog/product/image to pub/media/catalog/product/image.off and see if there are any negative consequences.. if there are.. put it back. if not then it should be safe to remove the folder (verifying the off sites backup 1st)

    Jumping e-commerce system (Woo? Opencart? Summat else?)
