Greetings, dear reader!
To start 2025, I am here to announce that there are going to be some big changes coming to The WinePress very soon. The WP will be moving platforms in the coming days and weeks, and eventually abandoning this website for a different platform.
Now, don’t be alarmed: I will still continue to produce the same type of content you are used to, but it will be on a new location that I, quite frankly, think will be better in the long run than the current setup I have now.
This has been on my mind for some months, but after recent events this transition was basically decided for me.
Once again, today the website is dealing with some crippling issues that are affecting the formatting and viewability of the website and the content in the articles. There has been one issue after another with my hosting site, and I am fed-up with these constant issues that require habitual nursing, not the least of which often requires me to open my pocketbook and pay for what ends up being a “temporary” resolution.
Even just the issue of sending email notifications has been an ongoing issue that has been quite annoying – one minute it works, the next minute it doesn’t.
The WinePress, fortunately, has operated on the low-end of costs; but upon doing more research and looking into fresh options, I have been able to find a new platform that costs substantially less, and provides a number of bells and whistles for free; whereas now it feels like I am being nickel and dimed for features that I wish came customary. To me, if I can produce the same level of content, while reducing the costs, and have the potential to greatly expand the general viewer base, I say that is the more prudent and obvious choice.
With this in mind, I do apologize in advance as I probably will not be able to post as many articles as I would like to this week as I make the transition to the new platform. Most of my some 5,000+ articles will be imported to the new platform, though many of those articles will most likely need some reformatting.
More details will be revealed in the coming days, so please stay tuned.
If you have signed-up for the newsletter, your email address will automatically be registered with the new setup I am working on; but you can of course opt-out at any time.
Thank you again everyone for your continued love and support for my work, as I am very excited to start the new year with some changes that I think everyone will like, and will be more beneficial for us all in the long run.
Hebrews 13:18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.
2 Thessalonians 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: [2] And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. [3] But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. [4] And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you. [5] And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
The WinePress needs your support! If God has laid it on your heart to want to contribute, please prayerfully consider donating to this ministry. If you cannot gift a monetary donation, then please donate your fervent prayers to keep this ministry going! Thank you and may God bless you.
Thank You!
Hello Jacob,
Thanks for the heads up. I wonder what your new website will be called?
Will you still have the same email address?
All that is staying the same, including the URL if I can help it. It’s just the platform that I am uploading too will change. I have been using WordPress, but that will be different going forward, and aesthetically it will look differently.
So . . . it’ll still be winepress news.com ?
Yes, I just have to pay a small fee to transfer the domain, so it will still be winepressnews.com – not initially, but I am going to wait until this current billing cycle is due in February, so I still have a few weeks.
What is the new platform?
Substack.
So that’s why I’ve been reading the site from side to side these past couple days. Praying about the new transition.
Thanks. It’s always something. Plus, this site is under constant attack. Someone at the IT department at my hosting platform he has never seen this many bot attacks against my site in his entire career, so I have definitely made so people angry.
These bots are run by devils!
They shouldn’t be mad at you, they should be mad at these devils and workers of iniquity who attack you with them.
Will all published articles keep the same urls? Thank you brother Jacob.
That I am not sure about yet, but we’ll see. Importing them over is going to take time, and I imagine there will need to be some reformatting.
Thanks for the heads up, will be praying for a smooth transition. Would hate for you to lose any of the articles you’ve written here, I have a lot of them saved too. Hope it all goes well, God bless you.
Thanks, brother!
As a fellow business owner I CAN RELATE, I CAN FEEL YOUR PAIN. Small business is not for the faint of heart. Very stressful.
I am in the midst of a big change too, It affects a large part of my business and has taken a year plus to set up the change.
Welcome to the club!
Best wishes in making the necessary changes you need.
I have been praying for ya Jacob, to help with all the spiritual attacks and also pray that your ministry flourishes, as I see now it will, in going to Substack. It’s truly a shame, that ya get all the attacks and get ripped off in trying to present the news from a Christian prospective.
I will continue to pray and support ya Jacob, I pray God will guide ya and give ya peace.
Thank you, David. Yesterday I found that the website got infected with malware. I had to pay more money to get it removed. Go figure. But I was told last year by a higher-up in the IT department for my hosting platform, HostGator, told me that in his entire career he had never seen as much bot traffic attack a site before, and he giggled because he said the content I upload is basically the reason why. Needless to say, I have made a lot of people angry LOL. Thank you for your continued support and prayers!
Forgot to mention, nice beard ya got going there, lest yours is full and not gray and thinned out like mine, LOL
Beards are GREAT – gray or not! Just sayin’ . . . 🙂
Haha, thanks David! I try to stay groomed as best as I can for as long as I can maintain it LOL.
I hope all goes well and it’ll be a smooth-enough transition brother. I have many WP links shared on different social media platforms, so I guess it’s possible to expect that if the URL changes, the links will be dead. Not a big deal if this happens.
