Company note

TheWPX is now part of TheGuideX

TheWPX was my WordPress blog from 2018 to 2024. TheGuideX, which I started in 2016, grew into the SEO and web consultancy that same work turned into. This is the short version of how the two became one, and why I stopped running two sites for the same readers.

Then · TheWPX2018–2024

A WordPress blog I ran solo

Tutorials, plugin and theme guides, and hosting and speed notes: more than 200 articles, all from problems I was solving on my own sites.

Now · TheGuideX2024 →

An SEO and web consultancy

The same hands-on WordPress and SEO work, done on clients’ sites. Find the cause, fix it, check it held, instead of writing it up for an audience.

Why I folded it in

Running two sites for the same readers stopped making sense. The work had moved from publishing for its own sake to fixing and building real sites for clients. TheWPX belonged under that, not beside it, so in 2024 I closed it as a separate brand and brought it into TheGuideX.

This is not an archive you browse

TheGuideX is a consultancy, not a blog with the lights left on. The point of the merge was not to park 200 old posts somewhere. It was to put the WordPress experience behind them to better use. What is worth keeping is being reworked into the insights, which back the consultancy work instead of replacing it.

Where that experience lives now

The years of WordPress work behind TheWPX sit under the WordPress development service: builds, speed and security hardening, and WordPress-to-static migrations. The same instinct for what actually breaks a site runs through the technical SEO work too.
