Huge price drop on CompTIA cyber security training (deal ends soon)

Let’s face it, cyber security is the coolest side of the IT industry. Hackers are trying to hold the world to ransom, and the cyber security experts have the job of stopping them. That means learning their schemes, and getting paid great money to do it.

We’ve picked up on a big promotion on CompTIA cyber security training, meaning you can prep for the certifications that you need to protect your clients.

This training is all online, and you have lifetime 24/7 access so you can take them at your own pace. No need to abandon your current job while you prepare for your new job.

The CompTIA Cyber Security Bundle:

• CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP-003) — $99 value
• CompTIA Cyber Security Analyst (CSA+) — $99 value
• CompTIA Pentest+ — $99 value

OnePlus 6 devices in the UK starting to get Android 9 Pie

• If you live in the United Kingdom and own a OnePlus 6, Android 9 Pie is rolling your way.
• Although the OxygenOS version number is 9.0.01, it appears to be the same changelog as regular 9.0.
• If you’re impatient and don’t want to wait for the OTA, you can download it directly from OnePlus.

---

Certain areas of the world already have a OnePlus 6 Android 9 Pie update, including the United States. However, we just received word from OnePlus that the Android 9 Pie update is rolling out now to OnePlus 6 devices in the United Kingdom.

The OxygenOS version number of the update is 9.0.01, slightly different than the 9.0 version which launched a few weeks ago. However, the changelogs appear identical so it’s likely there aren’t too many substantial differences between 9.0 and 9.0.01.

The update weighs about 1.5GB.

Two very important missing gestures are coming to OxygenOS on OnePlus 6T

Twitter

The stable rollout of Android 9 Pie arrived on the OnePlus 6 a few weeks ago. Themed over with OxygenOS, the latest version of Android features a new, gesture-based navigation system that OnePlus …

If you would like to check for the update, unlock your OnePlus 6 and go to Settings > System Updates. Once there, tap the “Check for Updates” button and you should see the update begin to download.

If that doesn’t work for you, you have two options: wait for the rollout to hit you, or manually download and install the update.

Manually downloading and installing the update is fairly simple. First, head to this link using your OnePlus 6 and download the software. Go back to System Updates (Settings > System Updates) and tap the gear icon in the top right corner. Choose “Local Upgrade,” find the .ZIP file you downloaded, and then select “Install.”

This is a standard upgrade so your data should be safe. However, it’s always a good idea to perform a backup before making any substantial changes to your phone, just in case.

Do you have the Android 9 Pie update for your OnePlus 6 in the U.K.? Tell us how much you like (or hate) it in the comments.

Best Android Auto head units (February 2018)

A lot of newer cars these days have Android Auto built in, but certainly not all of them. Whether you have a new car that doesn’t support Android Auto, or an older  vehicle that predates …

Now, almost a year later, Google is finally pushing a fix for the issue in the form of a Google Play Services update. The rollout for the update is staggered, so it may be a few weeks before everyone sees the patch.

Google first acknowledged the problem in January and then promised a fix in April. However, it’s now the end of July and the fix is finally beginning to roll out, according to Don on the Android Auto team:

The Android Auto rep concedes that the patch might not even fix the issue entirely, and encourages users who still face problems to start new support threads.

Android Auto is the car-centric version of Android that appears in certain in-dash units. Big changes were announced this year for the platform in the form of wireless connectivity with your smartphone, Google Assistant built-in, and group messaging. You can see the new features on the way as well as a video at our roundup here.

How to Create GDPR Compliant Forms in WordPress

Do you want to create GDPR compliant forms in WordPress? European Union’s new GDPR law requires explicit user consent to store personal information, so users can have more personal control on their data stored on websites. In this article, we will show you how to easily create GDPR compliant forms in WordPress.

What is GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union (EU) law that became effective on May 25th, 2018. The purpose of this new law is to give EU citizens control over their personal data and change how companies and businesses handle data privacy around the world.

For more details, see our ultimate guide to WordPress and GDPR compliance which will answer all your GDPR related questions in plain English.

A typical WordPress site may collect user’s personal information in a number of ways. One of which is by adding forms to the site. Most forms collect personal information, and you may want to make sure that your WordPress forms are in compliance with the GDPR.

What is Required to Make a Form GDPR Compliant

In order to make your WordPress forms GDPR compliant, you will need to add the following features:

• Ask users to give explicit consent for storing and using their personal information.
• Allow users to request access to their own personal information stored on your website.
• Allow users to request deletion of their data from your website.

Having said that, let’s take a look at how to easily create GDPR compliant WordPress forms.

How to Make a GDPR Compliant Form in WordPress

We recommend using WPForms to make GDPR compliant WordPress forms. It is the best contact form plugin for WordPress and comes with built-in GDPR enhancement features including:

• 1-click GDPR Agreement field for your forms
• GDPR compliant data retention best practices
• Easy entry management system to quickly find, export, or delete user data upon request

Here is how you can easily create a GDPR compliant form in WordPress using WPForms.

First, you need to install and activate the WPForms plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon activation, you need to visit WPForms » Settings page and scroll down to the GDPR section. There, you need to check the box next to GDPR Enhancements option.

Enabling GDPR Enhancements option will reveal two more GDPR related settings.

The first one, ‘Disable User Cookies’ will stop WPForms from storing user sessions. This cookie contains a random unique identifier that helps WPForms add features like related entries, form abandonment, and geolocation. Disabling it will also disable those features.

The second option ‘Disable User Details’ will stop WPForms from storing user IP addresses and browser information.

Both of these settings are optional, and you can check them if you feel that you don’t need these features.

Don’t forget to click on the ‘Save Settings’ button store your changes.

WPForms is now ready to create a GDPR compliant forms in WordPress. You can now go to WPForms » Add New page to create a new form.

You will be asked to enter a title for your form and select a template. These templates are ready-made forms that you can use as a starting point. In this example, we are creating a simple contact form.

This will launch the WPForms builder interface. You will see your form preview in the right column, and on the left you will see all the fields that you can add to your form.

Click on the ‘GDPR Agreement’ field to add it to your form. You will now see it appear at the bottom of your form. You can click on it to change its settings.

You can change the title of the form field, agreement text, and use the description box to add details like a link to your privacy policy or terms and conditions pages.

Note: The GDPR Agreement field is always a required field, and it cannot be pre-checked to comply with the GDPR law. You can only add one GDPR agreement field to each form.

Once you are satisfied with the form, click on the save button on top to store your changes. You can now close the form builder.

Adding your GDPR compliant form to WordPress posts and pages

WPForms allows you to easily add forms anywhere on your website. Simply create a new page / post or edit an existing one. On the post edit screen, you will notice the new ‘Add Form’ button.

Clicking on it will bring up a popup where you can select the form you created earlier. Simply click on the ‘Add form’ button again, and you will now see the contact form shortcode in your post editor.

You can now save or publish your post/page and click on the preview button to see your GDPR ready WordPress form in action.

Managing Data Access and Deletion Requirements with WPForms

One of the requirements for GDPR compliance is to give users access and allowing them to request deletion of their data.

To do that, you can create a ‘Data access/delete form’ and add it to your privacy policy page. Users who wish to access their stored data or want it to be deleted can use that form to send you a request.

WPForms comes with an excellent entry management system that allows you to quickly find any data submitted via your forms.

You can access all form entries by visiting WPForms » Entries page and selecting the form you wish to view from the top left corner of the screen.

WPForms will show you all entries submitted using that form. You can search for a form entry by entering a name, email, ip address, or keyword.

You can also delete individual entries or click on the view button to see all data stored for that entry. On the single entry page, you can even export that single entry as a CSV file.
