ok. So looks like i definitely need to either use Multisite or to clone the WP installation. Does anyone see any benefits of one over the others? Is Multisite more challenging technically? Right now i am leaning towards cloning the WP install and it might be easier and quicker.
- I've used WPML to do this. You create separate pages/posts for each language, so it should work.noneck
- Even with iframe links and images, as long as it's in the content editor, or with ACF, you should be golden.noneck
- If your language content is in the theme, you might be fucked, but I'd be surprised.noneck

Not sure why you have this:
$exclude = $GLOBALS['current_id'];
I would:
$this_post = $post->ID;
then:
'post__not_in' => array($this_post)
maybe?

@slinky
If it's just one translation, I'd use ACF to create a second content field on each page/post (and a duplicate of any other custom field you've added).
Load up both in the page template, each wrapped in a div (say <div class="english">English Content</div><div class="spanish">Spanish Content</div>, set them both to display:none. Then make a small nav to switch between the two, using javascript to make which ever language is selected visible.

Out of date WP installations or plugins will almost certainly get compromised. Depending on your server configuration, the other sites on your server may also get compromised as well.
Charge your clients a recurring fee to keep their shit up-to-date and backed up. With my clients this is non-negotiable (though they've all seen the value in what I offer). If your client refuses, make sure you're not hosting their site.
I just had an agency client get their MT account compromised because of this. I was managing 3/8 WP installs on their server. They didn't want me to manage the other 5 because their client owed them money. Everything on their server has malware on it now.

Anyone who struggles with the wp updates:
If you are an admin you should receive emails regarding the core wp updates.
I use a server control panel called plesk(onyx) for over 14 years, for example it sends you an email regarding the updates(plugins, theme, core), and you don't have to use the system built in installer, just setup the site and plesk can detect the new wordpress installs.
It has many other features what can be useful if you host wp sites.

After 5 days working with Gutenberg I feel I'm getting there.
I'm making two mockups for the same website, one using GenerateBlocks and Otter, the other one just using Spectra.
I'm jumping over some basics because of the deadline but I will get back to it.
Watching tutorials while doing it, a slower process but fast results.

Right now, after all the great input I received here I'm checking WP themes and examples that might suit.
Any suggestions?

Looking for a music player plugin that will do the following:
- on press of minimal play button, a track plays, showing only an indicator of length of track and length played (unsure of the technical terms here). Super minimal display.
- ability to loop certain songs.
- ability to stop a playing track if any other playing track. On this aspect, imagine multiple divs containing a single player each. If song A in div A is playing, and you click song B in div B, sing A should stop and song B should play.Any suggestions?

I am using YOAST SEO plugin.
Is there a way to not load yoast for a particular page, so I can add a dynamic title/description for that page only.

fadein:
$current_postID = '438'; //Replace 438 with function that pulls current id
if($randID == $current_postID ){}
else{
$temp_title = get_the_title($post->ID);
$temp_link = get_permalink($post->ID);
$img_url = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID) );
}

NOTICE: WPML is crashing with Wordpress last update, check your sites guys:

not sure about this, still wondering what the issue was / is.
on a dreamhost wordpress install...
using firefox, when accessing the widgets page I get a 404 redirect to the site's 404 page.
If I use chrome, the widgets page functions and can be edited as expected.
cleared cache, permalinks, still no change.
most peculiar thing i've ever seen on wp

hey fadein11, mekk...and others
I spent the last three days looking for a WP theme for the recording studio gig...fuck me!!!
:)
the site should be very simple.
this is sort of the structure/pages it'll have:- home (contains about probably and social media links)
- bio
- gear/studio conditions
- rental/usage rates
- contact
- blog (for ongoing projects)
- portfolio (list of from artists who recorded there with audio player)
- links page (to artists who recorded there)should be responsive (aren't they all nowadays so to speak?)
plus maybe an audio player in the homepage?
I think he would prefer a side menu or hamburger instead of the so commonly seen dropdown menu above the page that just drops down in the photo in the homepage.
client (friend) would like it in WP so he can manage the blog entries and new additions to the artist list or photo of acquired material.
He also prefers WP so he doesn't bother me with stuff he can do by himself.
I don't think I need a framework at all to start with.
I checked the following themes but they have so much more than my friend actually needs.
Or would it be better to use a basic theme?

This guy at WPTuts makes a good point about this in several videos, specifically about Elementor.
And I have to say that I totally understand what he means.
For now, I prefer bloat with Elementor as a mess of plugins and other stuff with Gutenberg but when I see tools like Cwicly or GenerateBlocks I wonder if WP gets better at developing Gutenberg how will things actually end, especially when page builders like Elementor rely on other tools for certain things and have to program thinking in all of them when doing updates so things don't break.
