Some of my favourite WordPress plugins are no longer maintained by the original developer.
This means that they are becoming a security risk because changes in WordPress and the upgrading of PHP versions leave them with security holes.
Looking at the stats on my websites shows me that all of them are under constant attack by hackers.
The only defences are to update everything as soon as updates become available.
The other defence is to use a good defensive plugin.
I use WordFence, you can use whatever you like.
However, that won’t stop the hackers getting inside your site if your plugins are vulnerable.
There is a fix, and it’s simple.
Disable the plugin, but don’t delete it.
Download all the files in the plugin folder.
Upload all the files to your favourite AI tool and ask it to examine the code and suggest fixes to bring it ip to date with the current version of WordPress and PHP.
Once it has identified what needs to be fixed, ask it to rewrite the code to fix the flaws.
Upload the repaired files to your WordPress plugin and reactivate it.
An updated version of your favourite plugin that’s now secure.
WordPress might still complain about it being out of date, so all you need to do is edit the main file and rename the plugin.
This is for personal use, not for sale because you don’t own the copyright to that plugin, but you can get in touch with the developer and thrash out a deal.
Alternatively, you can ask that AI tool to create a plugin with the same functionality plus some improvements that you can call your own.
Anyway, using AI for simple programs is a snap, using it for more complex programs can be done, but you need to have some programming background or knowledge for that.
Except, you can gain that quickly by asking the AI tools to explain the code.
So, we’ve talked about using AI for coding.
We’ve talked about using AI for image creation.
We’ve talked about using AI for writing.
All of these require human input to make the output good, not brilliant, but good enough to sell.
Have you thought about how you could use AI to research a subject, then summarise that subject, analyse the summary to find holes you can exploit, then use AI to write a report to sell?
Maybe this will give you some idea of the power of short reports.
Give your favourite AI tool your product or a concise product description and ask for 20 subject lines (or headlines) that will stop people scrolling long enough to read your message.
If you don’t like those, ask for them to be toned down or hyped up.
Ask for 20 more.
All AI tools will create as many as you want until you get one you like, and they’ll do it in seconds.
You can combine two or more to get what you want so flexibility is baked in.
Use this method for the short reports you’ll create with this info,
I’ll be marking this as spam, because it’s a cold approach and it’s pathetic.

Body: Hey there, Brent Milne!
Hope you’re strumming a sweet melody on this fine day. I wanted to sprinkle a bit of pixie dust on our recent conversation about venturing together into the enchanting world of software development services. Just like Peter Pan believes in the magic of never growing old, we believe in the magic of innovation and are fully committed to supporting this project’s flight. Let’s keep our thoughts high above the clouds and work together to make this more than just fairy tales. Looking forward to creating something that’ll have us flying without wings.

Everyone who wants to make money online or offline need to choose products that have a decent ROI and are easy to obtain, for them.
It helps if there is an unlimited supply and there are no faults or problems for the customer so there are no refunds and no customer complaints.
Looks like the ideal business, right?
Correct.
Online there are two products that you can create in an afternoon, if you’re slow, sell well, and have almost no customer complaints.
Online, some people complain anyway, refund them and block them.
Those two products are checklists, and case studies.
You can make both of these with AI if you want, although the case studies require you to do some research first so you can feed the AI tool with the real data.
Can’t have them thinking for themselves here, they’ll make up something that sounds great but is all fiction.
Many marketers, or at least some who think they’re marketers, work on the mud throwing method.
They leap around from one thing to another, never giving anything time to start working.
They’re the ones who demand a refund for your latest brilliant product within 24 hours of buying it.
They’ll often claim that “it doesn’t work”.
Nope, nothing will for them.
In 20 years time they’ll still be buying, from those who still let them, and demanding refunds.
If they’d just taken one of those products and worked it for one of those 20 years they might have been able to spend the next 19 years cruising the World.
So what’s the difference between those people and the ones who do succeed?
It’s all about the intent.
If your intention is to build a successful income stream, and you work at it with that intent, you will build a successful income stream.
There was a post in the Warrior Forum, back when it was worth being in there, that talked about how one marketer spent quite a bit of his time working on his one big project.
But he also set aside and hour a day to work on a simple side hustle.
After 6 months the big project still wasn’t complete, and the side hustle was bringing in a steady income.
His comment was that he was wasting his time on the big project and he had determined to expand the side hustle into multiple hustles instead.
Think on this.
If you build one simple one or two page website and set up an automated traffic stream for that, it’s possible to make $10 – $50 per day.
That’s $300 – $1500 per month, or $3,600 – $18,000 per year.
One of these should take you less than a week to set up including getting the traffic started.
In 2 – 3 months you could have multiple income streams and be banking some serious coin.
That will only happen if you work with the intention of making it happen.
Mostly for myself, sometimes for free , sometimes for sale.
I’ve been doing this for 40+ years.
I’m not a professional programmer because I’ve never held a programming job.
Vibe coding is a hot topic right now because some people have figured out that AI can write code.
Yes, it can, but it’s about as good as a junior programmer.
If all you want to do is write little, simple plugins, or build websites fast, even little desktop apps, it works well enough.
But, if you want to write what I’m dong at the moment, you’d better understand what the code says.
You’ll need to hold the AIs hand because it’ll make stuff up, yes, even in your code, break working code because it ‘forgot’ what variable name it had used 20 times before.
It’ll rewrite an entire 500 line block of code in 300 lines by leaving out critical stuff.
