(Quote) It's all configured to take money - like everything else. Right from the start. Everything is free... until you need a WooCommerce webshop or a multilingual website - then 99% of the plugins and themes require you to pay, or code it all you…

(Quote) > (Quote) A few weeks ago I had a website go 50 to 100% CPU (full-retard! :) ). If that were the case, wouldn't all the other websites have been affected? I hadn't noticed any problems with any of the other websites. Still, I hadn't a…

Keeping it simple for now and sticking with Cloudflare free tier. I've tested a plugin that enables real CDN function for free: WP Cloudflare Super Page Cache
-
(Quote) No problem - it makes sense. Having a separate thread for each topic. That would make it easier to find the needed info later on.
-
(Quote) It's not explained clearly enough. It could mean at least two different things. For me, that would be a big step-down in the available resources - if you get say 1 vCPU and 3 GB of RAM to share between all the cPanel accounts. On the other…

An "idiot-friendly" (just how I like and need it :) ) step-by-step tutorial on how to add Google AdSense to a WordPress website. I've also covered the AdSense for AMP website versions - for those who use it.
-
(Quote) That doesn't sound good. Were you able to retrieve the backups, or get to log into your cPanel/DirectAdmin? Was it a shared, or a reseller hosting account? On that note - some providers (Veerotech for one) are fine with a user hitting their…
-
(Quote) In my experience, HostMantis has been very reliable (uptime, stability, even performance). Highly reputable (and a lot more expensive) hosting providers don't offer such packages. I've asked - had a project that needed more resources and wa…
-
(Quote) My bad - cPanel. DA is still not mature enough in my opinion. The "Entry" option looks good if you have a few websites that need more resources (2.5 CPU - since CPU seems to be the bottleneck with WordPress website performance, at…

How I built my website - theme, plugin choice, custom code etc: https://io.bikegremlin.com/22393/how-i-built-this-wordpress-website/ * As close as it gets to step-by-step without being too long. :)
-
(Quote) Updated: '. $updated_date . ' '; (Quote) Oh, I had tried that - that way the function doesn't do the job (but the error code does disappear :) ). It is my understanding that the variable should be defined first as an empty string: $cus…
-
(Quote) I'd be happy to, just please post the complete, edited code (idiot friendly) :) Here's the faulty original: // BEGIN Last-updated displayfunction wpb_last_updated_date( $content ) { $u_time = get_the_time('U'); $u_modified_time = g…
-
(Quote) From what I could gather - it's been a bad piece of code from the start. Just didn't get any warnings about it until now. And some themes and plugins seem to make those warnings disappear. :)

Here's the full, thorough report: Strange WordPress PHP 8.0 error
-
@PHP_Backend and @nickelodeon ... and the others who've contributed and helped: I am trying to do it all cautiously, by the book. Testing it first in a staging environment, staging on the production server, one production website, then the other pr…
-
A "Solomon's solution" - I've removed all the PHP and added this to the style.css: /* BEGIN updated date showing only */.posted-on .updated { display: inline-block;}.posted-on .updated + .entry-date { display: none;}.posted-on .upda…
-
(Quote) That didn't help with the error. :( Didn't hurt, nor take much time to poke a bit. :) Edit - PS: Removing only the first one reports the error at the line of the second one. However, removing the second dot prevents the function from doin…
-
Removing the dots in both places removes the error, but the function no longer works. Removing only the first one doesn't remove the error. What I mean: $custom_content .= '<p class and $custom_content .= $content; Those two .= replaced with j…
-
Thank you - I'll give it a try. Interesting (for me at least): The function does its job with no problems, even when that error gets reported in the root directory. When I install and activate a plugin called “Subscribe To Comments Reloaded,” the…
-
(Quote) Same setup - plugins, themes, custom code. One website has problems with PHP 8.0 - the others work fine. Well - no problems, all functions great in the frontend - but I get that PHP error in the error log. The function my custom code does …
-
(Quote) Yes, still mainly HostMantis. Tried the 8.0 - looking good so far. Slight performance improvements, with nothing broken. But it is hectic. 7.4. seems like yesterday, yet EOL (security support only) is in two months! :) And 8.0 doesn't seem…
-
Anyone (or most already? :) ) tried PHP 8.0? I wanted to wait until most of the themes and plugins have been patched and tested. Now seems like a good time to try - so I did. The first test results seem fine - no problems with the themes and plugi…

If they'd been less stubborn in the 40s, now we would have had Hetzner there as well. But noooo... :)
-
LowEndSpirit is now officially approved! :) https://io.bikegremlin.com/18172/questions/ I think this is a positive, healthy community (well, at least as far as online communities go), and we should help it grow. :)

Made a video that's boring and funny at the same time. :) The story of my website redesign (hadn't known about figma.com until relatively recently): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuSXxN1OJ3w

(Quote) It does the job for each image. Unless you get it started on a website with hundreds of thousands of images, it should be able to keep running even on a large website.
-
(Quote) LiteSpeed cache plugin does image optimization too, and it does it well. The plugin is free but requires a LiteSpeed server to run properly. I usually use squoosh.app - online, before uploading.

My GT-metrix and Lighthouse scores were very good with GeneratePress using a basic design. With 200+ posts and thousands of comments and replies. After having redesigned the website, to get a nicer look easier to navigate, GT-metrix is still OK, bu…

Thanks for taking the time. I greatly appreciate your feedback. :)
-
(Quote) Cookie banners are becoming obligatory. I hate them, but it's practically become a must. I don't understand the search bar feedback. The cookie banner is present currently on both website versions and is not related to the search banner, it…
-
(Quote) That was deliberate (and took some work to get it working). :) The search is basically my main "call to action" as the marketing folks say. I prefer the cleaner look of A. But I don't take my opinion seriously when it comes to vis…

Which one do you guys prefer? Design A, or design B? Any suggestions/improvements to either?

For a bit of a laugh - BikeGremlin website redesign (still a work in progress). :)
