Blog - Grae Desmond - ColdFusion Adobe Forums - Using ColdFusion, Tabulator, and WordPress in unison
So I had a problem.  We have a WordPress site that has a few tables on it that have drifted out of date.  Now all the data we need to keep them updated is in a database and if this were a CFML site well then it’d be the end of the post.  But alas it isn’t, so the issue is what is the best way to make this automated and keep the site up to date.

Blog - Charlie Arehart - When and how to upgrade CF web server connector, easier since CF2016
Did you know that when you update ColdFusion, there is often a need to also update the web server connector (for IIS and/or Apache)? In this post, I discuss how you can know when to do it (Adobe makes that easier since CF2016), as well as how to do it (also easier since CF2016), and why it's important.
While the update process is indeed simpler since CF2016, I'll note that the technotes for CF2016 and 2018 still don't currently point out the easier process for upgrading, so what I share below may be a big (and nice) surprise even for those who diligently read the update technotes.
