Murphy's Law is in fact a series of rules that refer to the phrase "If something goes wrong, it will go.
We encountered something like this today at iGuRu.gr. But let's mention some of Murphy's laws and start from the beginning:
Nothing is as easy as it seems.
Everything takes more time than you think.
If from a number of things, one has the chance to go wrong, it will be what will cause the greatest damage.
If you know there are only 4 possible ways to get something wrong and take care of them, then a fifth will immediately appear.
Every solution raises a new problem.
Murphy's Law The Beginning: For some time now, a plugin and specifically a SEO plugin, we were presented with a small css problem. The graphical environment did not work as it should in the back-end.
Because it was not something that caused dysfunction in the add-on we had left it because whenever we picked it up one made and one was going down. The incomprehensible plugin got an update a week ago, but the new version was impossible to work with.
We decided to call the most "expert" to tell us his opinion about the mysteries we encountered in the plugin he developed. Yes, we called the developer who wrote the plugin na to give us his lights.
We haven't heard from him for a week, although we "saw" him coming and going on the site. Today, however, and probably because it is Monday, he came in determined to fix it.
And he did it!
The plugin worked, the dev went to bed, and the messages started to come a lot from Twitter and Facebook.
The website at first it only displayed the background, then one post came back, and then they all came back but none opened… Let me not forget that it was impossible to change a page.
Also in fine print (for the end user) the analytics did not display any headlines, and the page posts did not appear in Google News….
The solution:
We deleted each account we created in super duper dev, and we passed the database from the beginning, so because we had nothing better to do on Monday afternoon.
We hope everything stops here…
