Why I HateLove Wordpress manager DX
May 26, 2007 3:59 am Blogs, RSS & BloggingI’ve had Wordpress manager DX for over a year now.
In earlier posts, I detailed my trials tribulations ad triumphs with this software.
And now… the saga continues.
Never have i come across such a powerful, troublesome script.
It sucks, and is at the same time, the best wordpress installer out there….when it works.
Problem is I have never encountered such blatant unprofessionalism in the creation and marketing of a script.
Which is why I “forced” myslef into being the beta tester for it - because I knew how powerful it was, but I also knew it needed guidance on its many foibles.
In a nutshell, EVERYTIME there is an update to this program, it doesnt work right. Every time.
I’ve spent the last week trying to AGAIN figure out why.
Turns out the lates upgrade forgot to take into account phpsuexec servers.
You know the one when you use CHMOD permissions of 755 instead of 777.
So of course I have 755 servers and the script didnt work.
Long story short I had to go back to an older version which works on both, and Edna the owner/creator seems oblivious to this fact no matter how clearly I explain what she needs to do.
I would have given up on this a long time ago, but like I said… the satisfaction of clicking one button and coming back a few minutes later to seeing 100 blogs onstalled on 100 domains is too much crack cocaine to walk away from
Wordpres Super Installer is anothe script that is about as good, but I dint feel like learning a new one all over again… until PGI.
Yup Page generation insider - the best IM membership online is goint to deserve that accolade once it re-opens - 2 words - magic builder.
It auto installs wordprress blogs because it has Wordpres Super Installer coded into it.
And then it also installs NC protal sitres indoamins, subdomains etc etc… and auto promotes them for you.
Magic Builder does laudry too!!! Might as well.
Thing is even with magic builder (exclusively for PGI members), I still want to keep using WPMDX because I spent soooo much motherfucking time developing strategies and Macros around it, that I cannot let those sleepless nights and genius macros go to waste.
Besides I have so Pay Per CLick stuff to dominate with wordpress…. :-)
WPMDX… like an STD-laden ho that keeps coming back - you know you shouldn’t touch her, but she’s just so damn good….

I have just purchased this , it says it works with wordpress 2.1 and above..
I would just like to get it working!
The documents are awful, the videos have “coming soon” next to them, this product is over a year old how can the videos be “coming soon”
Surely it is just about setting up mysql databases and a bit of uploading, wouldn’t a desktop tool be easier..hmmm

Hey Paul,
Yes I feel your pain.
Edna is terible at providing stuff that works, or reigning in her renegade programmers. Quite frankly, they suck.
I wish someone would buy the damn program from her and make it work right. the idiot programmer whom I gave access to my server, STILL hasnt finished fixing the permissions problem.
What I suggest, which is what I; doing is using an older version of WPMDX AND an older version of Wordpress. That works…. but seriously, I am fed up with the bugs on every new version that comes out.

No problem…
And to give proof of what I said here’s a letter I just got from Edna the creator:
“Hi ,
There are some problems with version 2.18.
Batch install got messed up and some other
minor bugs.
We are working with this and hopefully
get these fixed this week.
So for all this trouble I would
like to offer free. access to HeadersDX.com.
You will be able to download Volume 1
that include Headers with Master Resale Rights.
If you would like to get this package please
reply to this message with your Full name
and email address and I will create an account
for you.”
What a fucking joke. Normally Iwould have offered my assistance, but everytime i do, I have to educate her and her programmer on whats wrong with the damn thig.
So I NEVER upgrade when it comes out, because without fail, it will have bugs…. just lik the latest version. i swear she doesn’t even use her own product… there’s no way she could be.
