WordPress

I want to redesign my personal site around two things:

1 - Home page will be a personal landing page, like those “link in bio” tools to show people where you have accounts on social media, newsletters, etc. (such as https://bio.link/. I can share a basic personal page I’ve set up there but I don’t know if that’s allowed here)

2 - A decent blog experience, mainly for writing, sharing news links, and art I like (both personal and found)

Anyone know of a theme that tackles these two? I’m coming up empty handed with ThemeForest and Template Monster, even when trying variations of these keywords.

Thanks

I am not much old on lemmy and l have a lot of questions. Please don't assume me to be an AI 😊😊😊

My boss thinks it's very cute to talk about AI as much as possible, and today asked if I'd heard of "vibe coding". I said yeah, and explained to my coworker that it's where you get a chatbot to write all your code.

My boss has just announced that he's vibe coding. I know the project he's working on. It took us months to put that codebase together, and there are a lot of very complex functions and plugins in that site that we've written to integrate with all the systems our client needs the site to use.

What am I supposed to do here? He's just letting a chatbot go rogue on the codebase. Do I just leave him to it with the full knowledge that it'll fall on me and my colleague to repair all this damage, presumably while being accused of breaking the site in the first place? I need the money from this job so unfortunately leaving isn't an option at this stage.

Super speedy product matcher is a fully scalable WordPress product matcher plugin.

The plugin operates seamlessly in the background, displaying a loading animation while it searches for matching products. This ensures that the main webpage remains fully functional and responsive. This feature is particularly crucial due to the heavy, compute-intensive nature of the algorithm involved. The front-end implementation leverages React for efficient rendering and user interaction.

It has been long in the coming (Oracle bought Sun and MySQL over 15 years ago), but seems WordPress is finally at the point where MariaDB popularity surpassed MySQL as shown by stats at https://wordpress.org/about/stats/.

The share of MySQL 8.4 users is oddly low, just 0.1 %. One would think it would still be at least 1% or something..

Hello! I am searching for a table Wordpress plug-in. But I would like to have a global table, and on single post displayed only lines associated with the exact post. Association can be done by a category or acf. Is there any plug-in with this option?

I'm new to WordPress and i've just managed to create a local site using bedrock running inside docker.

Are their any goods books/texts recommended for professional wordpress setup and development? My impression is that the titles I'm able to find online are out of date or of questionable relevance. Any ideas? Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi, I'm an experienced webdev but new to wordpress and was asked to build a maintainable webpage for a hobbyist group.
In the future they want to be able to maintain as much as possible themselves and for the remainder search for as broad a range of web-devs as possible.
Due to that I found it reasonable that they specifically requested I use wordpress, but they also requested elementor and astra.

Taking basically one long look at these I threw both of them out immediately and have been using a basic theme (twentytwentyfour) and no plugins so far.
My contact however keeps insisting "all the tutorials use astra/elementor" or variations thereof, so just to cover my bases here,
What is the community consensus on astra/elementor?
What plugins themes would you recommend for such a situation?

The page has a bunch of static text-pages, a somewhat complex page-frame (with top and sidemenus) and a few "article pages" (Where later maintainers can easily create "posts" i.e. subpages).
Running costs are unacceptable and I would very much like to avoid one-time costs.

Solution was to addtouch-action: auto !important; to the CSS!

Hi! I am the webmaster for my wordpress site, fusil.uk.

(Can also be viewed on some lemmy instances! !desk@fusil.uk and my other account is @xander@fusil.uk)

I have been trying to fix a problem where text links within anchor tags aren't clickable on mobile. If I set the browser to responsive mode on chromium, they aren't clickable either, regardless of resolution.

I have been trying to adjust anchor tags z indexes, checked several times to see if there were overlapping divs, etc, and yet to find a solution. It also affects my sub pages.

The closest I have gotten is that deleting the global-styles-inline-css fixes the problem, but obviously ruins the graphical aspect of my site. Changing the style doesn't fix it, but changing the entire theme does. Obviously, I want my theme to work.

Hovering over the link in responsive mode on the browser shows the url interestingly, but clicking has no effect.

My parent theme is twentytwentyfour and it should be up to date.

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Matt Mullenweg has a huge chip on his shoulder that HE PUT THERE. He's taking it out on his top contributors.

Joost has nothing but the best interest at heart for the WordPress community. I would exactly say Mullenweg Silenced Joost, it's not like he killed him or anything, but he's not letting him speak at WC Asia.

I think Matt has gone off the deep end here and its' concerning beyond belief.

We really need to wrangle control of the project out of his hands.

I want to show a bunch of previews of websites on one page on a grid. The visual link preview addon just grabs an image from the page and the tagline, it doesnt actually show a site preview. Wpmains grid view of sites is a great example of what I want in the image. (Ik I can just take screenshots and get this done in minutes, I was hoping there was some dynamic addon that is easy to update)

By site preview I mean a literal preview of the website, thought that was obvious but the only adddon I've found for this purpose definitely doesn't do that.

I love the Post Status community and am a paying member Joost and Marieke are great stewards and will do a lot for the community.

The WP Community Collective is focused on supporting and strengthening the open source ecosystem.

The WP Community Collective provides financial, operational, and promotional support to open source projects and communities. We fund independent contribution to selected projects and develop initiatives that support the both the micro and macro open source community.

I'm a member and I see the need for a community like this outside of WordPress.org to make sure the project survives Matt Mullenweg's idiocy.

As the owner of a wordpress.org website, which I host myself, and use for personal blogging, how can I get an email anytime anyone posts to my blog?

What's the feel about moving away from talking about WordPress and more talking about CMS based on Wordpress? - It seems that we are all going to have to move away from wordpress.org and WordPress branding.
