Toss this in functions.php to disable Steve Guttenberg on pages and posts:
// disable for posts
add_filter('use_block_editor_for... '__return_false', 10);// disable for post types
add_filter('use_block_editor_for... '__return_false', 10);- yes suh. found that right when it was released. Not sure about The Gute yetdbloc
- Same. Old habits die hard.elahon
- Guttenberg suckspockets
- There’s a plug-in to use the classic editor.mg33
- you don't need the plugin...just this code.dbloc
- thanks for sharing! prefers functions.api
- did not know, classic Editor is an official plugin! nice to have. https://wordpress.or…api

Looking for advice on where to start with wordpress.
Some background. I usually build sites and courses using some mix of webpack or gulp, SCSS, handlebars, and a framework like foundation. So far it's worked fine I use the CLI start up a project and and changes appear with every save. It's straightforward and it works for what I need.
We have a marketer on the team who uses DIVI to build sites (two divisions in the company. She loves it. She says she can build quickly, using existing templates provided through her subscription.
We've been tasked with updating and uniting the divisions under one site. I have very little experience with WP and found DIVI to be bloated and forced multiple overrides to make changes.
Any suggestions for a middle ground? Where I should begin to get the benefits of the WP interface and plugins, but still have control of the front-end and can work locally?
If it can output static sites and if there's a visual builder that would allow me to save custom templates and doesn't create bloated html that would be even better.
- I should also add. I don't know php.voiceof
- Learn basic PHP and create a child theme with the front end you want? Or code your own theme from scratch. It's really not that complicated if you already knowyuekit
- front end dev.yuekit
- Most of the PHP in a WP theme is very basic stuff, just outputting content or simple loops.yuekit
- Should I start with a framework like genesis or _S?voiceof
- I'd recommend _s to start, then step into Genesis. Those are my 2 go-tos. Genesis may take a while to get the hang of, and _s will teach you theming basics.nocomply
- you might look at bedrock / sage for a wp framework and base theme that uses webpack / yarn for compiling https://roots.io/bed…spot13
- All that framework nonsense will just get in the way of actually learning Wordpress , which is not that hard. Build your own theme from scratch at least once.monNom
- Once you know the code structure, you may want to introduce some sort of abstraction for a specific need, but really, most everything is very simple in pure wormonNom
- *wordpressmonNom
- Agree with monNom, why learn framework, learn the core code basics,also you'll end up with less bloat in your final builddee-dubs
- WP Advanced Custom Fields with Flexible Content Field will allow you the flexibility of Divi content and your control of layout markupBabySnakes
- yeah start with adding 400$ plugin to that divi junk. forget acf for now.
start learning CODEX from the ground up you will laugh at how easy these things are.sted - Start with a "blank" wordpress theme so you can see where WordPress can help you; I've used https://wordpress.or….

I feel like a real NOOB. Had a super basic Wordpress site built for a client by a dude in India. All was fine. I need to make a really quick change to the site Footer...but can't figure out where the hell I can update it.
I've gone into the Theme Editor area...trying to customise the Footer Bar...and whatever I change makes no difference.
Have searched through all the site files to see if he hard coded the info and nothing.
The footer just says Copyright 2020 and then the company name...which I need to change.
The little bastard has gone missing, so I stuck and feeling like a dope. Any ideas appreciated.
Yours sincerely
Wordpress Nuffie- Hard to say without seeing how it is built.
A) If hardcoded you should probably look footer.php in theme folder.
B) Sometimes could be also under Widgetsdpi - C) Site title could be company name in footer.
If you need more help give us some screenshots of theme folder setup and code inside footer.phpdpi - if its a genesis framework it can sometimes be dynamically generated in the functions.php file.hotroddy
- Thanks. I'll do a little more digging and see what I can find.BusterBoy
- You've checked theres not a customisation setting for it in the admin itself somewhere.webazoot
- Can't bloody find anything anywhere. The name in the footer isn't exactly the same as in Admin. Can't find any ref anywhere.BusterBoy
- The site itself is really messy codewise...so god knows what the hell he's done. I'll have to wait I think.BusterBoy
- Hidden stuff in the admin caught me out a few times. Can you download all the theme files via ftp and run a search through them?webazoot
- Oh, see you did that already. Odd then.webazoot
- As mentioned above, whats the footer code say in the area the text you want to change appears?webazoot
- Did you inspect the element? Should tell you where the code is in the code?PhanLo
- This is what sucks about WordPress, a million ways to potentially update something. Customize, theme settings, etc.yuekit
- Download the whole site, do text search for the string/text. If you don't find it, dump the sql and search the text there, you'll find it.spot13
- Replace it via CSS?OBBTKN
- So I eventually found it.
Templates - Theme Builder - Global Footer and it's in Elementor. Far out!
Thanks one and all.BusterBoy

Been trying to update my site after a few years of not using Wordpress. Is Elementor worth adding to speed up design?
I had a template before but it was so slow to load I gave up.Just want a really simple responsive site with masonry galleries.
- Generally speaking, using elementor or a premade template have the same handicap: are aimed to be easy to use without technical knowledge, ...sr_rosa
- ... and that usually comes at cost of a less optimized result, both in loading size and performance. That said, a portfolio is a special kind of site, ...sr_rosa
- ... as people do not usually mind it being heavy. I would probably use flexbox instead of masonry for performance, but will not be exactly the same.sr_rosa
- Beaver buiilder is a lighter weight builder. Avoid divi, that shit suucksmoldero
- Cheers! I'll look at Beaver Builder too.
Was tempted to go to Squarespace but they are so boring.PhanLo - I mean do you really need to add on a builder with the new Gutenberg/Blocks admin?webazoot
- One of my WordPress developers just started using Elementor. He said it was the easiest and best thing that ever happened to WordPress.utopian
- I'll have a look at the Gutenberg one, watching some tutorials i reckon i could build a simple enough one using that.
Thanks again. :-)PhanLo - Gutenburg is shit, beaver #1, elementor #2 cause it outputs heavier pagesmoldero
- Going to search for some beaver vids the night. I was trying out the Getwid template which loads faster than the old one.
Added a simple gallery added onto thatPhanLo - Thanks for all your help. Just being able to look out some alternatives saved a lot of stress.PhanLo
- A good fast starter theme for beaver is astramoldero
- You can create your own headers n footers w beaver themermoldero
- Elementor is the first page builder I found to be worth using. It's quite minimal but also slickly designed and lots of functionality.yuekit
- Having said that, these layout builder tools work best in conjunction with a custom coded theme IMO. Otherwise you are still just using a template.yuekit
- Cheers guys, your info has been a great help. I'll look into Astra too Moldero.
I cobbled together a site fairly quickly using Getwid as I'd totally wrecked myPhanLo - site, but I'll definitely have a look at the themes you've suggested.PhanLo
- astra is dope because its blank, basically made for page builders, word is its the fastest theme yet for builders, I dig it, use it for all my sitesmoldero
- Jumping in late here, but FWIW I use Astra and Beaver Builder on all my new projects now. Been running that setup for over a year. Dig it.nocomply

best plugin to backup an entire WP site and DB?
- don't use a plugin if you have hosting control panel access?fadein11
- i presume not but just checking.fadein11
- I do...already backed up the db (which is tiny)...it's my content. :( FTP connection SUX w/the old host...says DAYS. This 1 file at a time shit is nonsense. :)PonyBoy
- oh wait... you're talking about running a command line or something to copy everything? can you do that? I seem to recall... ?PonyBoy
- wordpress files shouldn't take long unless a content heavy site. if you have control panel access should be a backup website files option in there?fadein11
- what host is it? what control panel, in backups on main control panel screen, go in there and should be 2 options, backup database and/or backup website filesfadein11
- host: network solutions... I'm checking options. I ask about the plugin cuz qbn's cosmo of all people recommended I use one (dude builds these sites all day)PonyBoy
- I do, always use the control panel backup, not sure how reliable wordpress plugins are from experience. go into control panel and click on backups, will be anfadein11
- option to download website files.fadein11
- duplicator is reliable.sted
- We use Updraft and back it up to Google Drivedbloc
- if it's just one time - download DB from PHP admin... download site files via FTP.hotroddy
- *export DB from PHPmyadmin. it will download to your computerhotroddy
- exactly what I ended up doing, hotroddyPonyBoy
- Duplicator. As Sites said. But depending on the site and hosting limits a 2GB site will give you a lot of problemsSalarrue
- @PonyBoy: that only works if the files are at the same path on the two servers and the domain will be exactly the same. be careful with that :)sted
- wp stores some of the details in special fields where those find/replace methods you find online most of the times fail.sted
- not to mention how various pagebuilders are using to store asset properties.
duplicator makes these changes at the setup,sted - and you won't end up with an encrypted package what you can't use outside the plugin like with Updraft.sted
- good advice, sted... thank you, all!PonyBoy
- I use "all in one migration" easy and fast, copies everything, no need to get in the DP and change file paths or any stupid shit like that.moldero

Has anyone created a header HTML video carousel slider?
I'm trying to create big background video (100vh 100vw) that once video completed playing it goes onto the next video and so on. (new streamline appears over each video)
From what I can tell Slider Revolution may be able to do this but haven't tried it yet.
Has anyone any suggestions on best way to do this, is slider Revolution best tool for this?
- save yourself the trouble and tell your client it's not a good idea with latest safari browser: https://techcrunch.c…hotroddy
- ^ that's a good point, thanks.. although if they still insist I will still need to implement..any suggestionsdee-dubs
- slider revolution can do pretty much anything slider related yep and you can do what you mention with it. It's bloated but works well.fadein11
- may need to use its API thoughfadein11
- yup, slider rev ftw, but it's heavy as shitmoldero
- Slider Revolution reminds me so much of Flash 5. It's a nightmare.noneck
- SoliloquyWP will do what you want. It's pretty rock solid. Pony up for the full version.Centigrade
- FlickityESKEMA
- @noneck - it has its issues and yep v.bloated as I say but the quickest solution to what he needs I reckon.fadein11
- Flash 5....far better than current animate cc bullshitfuturefood
- Who the fuck decided not to QA animatefuturefood
- Thanks for help...Slider Rev it is then, I am pushing that they should seriously think about dropping the video for future proofing reasonsdee-dubs

Hi,
was asked by a housemate of mine if I had any interest to make the web page for the Theater Academy she's working for.
They already have a page made with Wordpress and would like to continue to have it in Wordpress because they want to update it themselves.
Actually she had asked me before if I would recommend any other CMS instead of Wordpress and I replied that for what she was describing there was no alternative to it.
What they would like to do is to update the page with past events, announce future events, update photos, update info for courses, blog entries, online contact, forms...everything they want to do by themselves.
Easy to use and reliable.
Thing is that I never did so from scratch, it would be my first serious job and they just quit on a webdesigner who was working for them and he has like 20 years of experience.
It wasn't working for them and they need someone that can do what they need, something that for me seems more that I can immediately offer specially cause they need it now.
They want to change what they have which for them is sort of okay in looks but not okay for them to use.
They would have something totally new.
I'm checking how I could possibly approach this.
Should I use a theme?
Is it lazy?
Do it from scratch with HTML/CSS and JS?Should I transfer the domain to my server and have it there?
I could I use all the pages they have with the events and photos into a new webpage and so on...I just finished my training and seems a good opportunity.
I did some minor things for friends in Wordpress.I think I should take the gig but would like to ask you waht kind of advice you can give me in matters of method and approach.
I don't have a clue how long this can take and how I could make a deal and how much to charge as well.
I live in Germany by the way and I'm happy with all the input I can get to be able to go for it!
- this job sounds perfect for a theme, I presume there is little budget. If you use a theme though be wary of complex all singing ones - they tend to be harderfadein11
- to customise as the code can be quite complex. 'Responsive' is a good basic starting point theme that is v.easy to work out.fadein11
- I don't normally use themes if budget allows but have worked on similar projects to this many times and sometimes starting with a basic theme will enable you tofadein11
- make some money and if you use a basic one you can make it look however you like. Add a slider, galleries etc... if that is what they want.fadein11
- No need to transfer to your server if they are happy with what they have - just get full control panel access to their hosting package.fadein11
- wow fadein11!! i read your comment before in some thread it would be lazy. I thank you very much for your input!!oey
- Concrete5 is an excellent alternative to Wordpress. It's all I use. I hate Wordpress.ESKEMA
- ok.sted
- If you're not sure because you've never done it, try it on your own first before committing. Take a weekend and hack something together to be suremonNom
- Better to be honest than to over promise and under deliver.monNom
- Thanks ESKEMA gonna check that. Client wants Wordpress though.oey
- thanks monNom really good suggestion. she knows me and we talked a bit and obviously I'm gonna be fully honest about it.oey
- Theme that uses calendar pro pluginHayoth
- calendar pro will work with any theme.fadein11
- or event manager - loads of options for the events... if you need to keep it simple just create categories for posts for future, current, past events etc. justfadein11
- keep things simple if little budget. underpromise and overdeliver if possible always.fadein11
- ha just read nomoms comment - totally. especially on little jobs like this - can end up being real losers if not careful.fadein11
- Create a detailed statement of work (SOW) detailing all project spects, rounds of revision on wireframes, design, dev, include budget & scheduleshellie
- Client deliverables & ur deliverables. Sign prior 2 start. Work off what your statement of work reads. Charge for anything out of scope as chang ordershellie
- I'm doing a project exactly like this for an interior designer. Wordpress cos they don't currently have any CMS and basic theme altered.shellie
- All their inspiration is competitor sites i know are built on wordpress themes. No need to totally reinvent the wheel if that's what they want.shellie
- Good luck, OeyGnash
- thanks you people!!! I will talk with my housemate, remind you that I have 70, and ask for her to draw a list of what they want.oey
- check it and then meet to discuss. for them also to show me what's not working and how they would it like to be working.oey
- really good advices. I'm really inclined to do it. but maybe have to convince them to invest in a theme and some plugins. all depends how much money per yearoey
- ...and all the functionalities they want. lets see how it works how with the meetings and I'll keep you posted!oey
- thanks again!oey
- Themes and plugins cost v.little so not really any investment. Just build the small cost into your quote.fadein11

WordPress backups; what's the state of things?
Looking for cheap and easy (BUT not sleazy).
Had an "incident" with a clients WHC account late last year and caught with my pants down: https://cybernews.com/news/a-maj….
SUUUCCCKKKEEED and thought we lost 100's of hours of work and a loyal clients site with 0 backup.
I know; my fault as well as the host BUT NEVER AGAIN!!!
XOXO to you and yours.
- I guess IDEALLY Google Drive based as my business is heavily invested in that world.
Missin' Dropbox brothers/sisters.ideaist - there must be a cheap plugin that you can use to store files at a remote location. Make sure backup is not happening on same server.hotroddy
- Most hosting platforms offer backup. We use AWS Snapshots.
---
We also use Updraft to backup to Google Drivedbloc - any decent wordpress hosting does all of this for you, look at Siteground or WP Engine.fadein11
- ManageWP, daily backups $2/month. Great service, I use them to manage backups and updates on 180+ WP sites. https://managewp.com…elahon
- I'll clarify, $2 per website/month, $75 up to 100 websites/month. Still a good deal and they have packs with other services like downtime monitor, scans, etc.elahon
- ask your hosting provider if they recommend a Wordpress plugin or Plesk/Cpanel plugin.hotroddy
- ^oops ignorehotroddy
- I use Updraft to backup to Dream Objects but you can use Google Drive like dbloc wrote.oey_oey
- +.what fadein11 wrote.oey_oey
- I also use ManageWP but don't use the backup service as I already had all set previouslyoey_oey
- I prefer to host with WP Engine for peace of mind and reliable automated backups. I also double-up with ManageWP.nocomply
- As others have mentioned, you can also check out Updraft or BackupBuddynocomply

The company I work for got an external agency to build their new website. Agency is doing it in wordpress and we have just received a link to the staging site so we can start populating it with content.
Is it just me or its it actually weird that when i upload a new image to the media library it doesn't automatically get resized into S, M, L and Full sizes?
I thought that was an inherent WP functionality which is easy to customise to match the theme's image size requirements. I've just raised the subject with our account manager and was told that they have never done that functionality for any of the websites they have ever built, and that they could look into it for us for a bunch of extra money or, alternatively, that we could set up a Photoshop script and then process and batch upload images on our end.
Those can't be our only options, can they?
- It's quite easy to set up custom image sizes in functions.php or using a plugin. Seems odd they would charge a lot for that.
Or CSS can force the sizes.fadein11 - that's what i thought - just a few lines of code in functions.php and you can have as many sizes as needed.scruffics
- CSS works too but we are trying to optimise the page load times and would like to have appropriate size images where neededscruffics
- yep CSS as a last resort and not if images are huge obvs.fadein11
- thanks fade! does any one else have anything to add?scruffics
- It's literally a single line of code. https://developer.wo…monNom
- But that's only for new images that are added, does not work retroactively. So depending on your needs, you might need to batch process images.monNom
- I got the impression no content had been added yet. But yep not a solution if content already in.fadein11
- forcing css changes effects optimizationpockets
- it does automatically, you don't see them in the media library...but you can load them by thumb,medium, large or declare your own img size if with ^phpuan
- What uan said...if you look in the uploads folder you will see they are already there.yuekit
- The agency saying "they could look into it for a bunch of extra money" is hilarious. This is very basic stuff.yuekit
- https://www.hostinge…yuekit
- they want custom sizes.fadein11
- easy to do but the agency are saying it's hard. weird.fadein11
- in my experience, saying its a bunch of extra money just means you dont want to fucking bother, but if someone will pay you a bunch, you'll bother.mantrakid
- It's quite easy to set up custom image sizes in functions.php or using a plugin. Seems odd they would charge a lot for that.

Hey gang,
Too lazy (JUST had my 2nd son) to go through 5 pages of information in hopes of finding 2 things:
1. Multiple WordPress installs; is their a best practises for this? I'm tired of logging into them on a weekly/monthly basis...
2. WordPress / General Malware Prevention: I have a few dozen sites on 1 server currently; I know it's bad practise BUT I just can't help myself.
Is their a "silver bullet" WordPress security method I'm missing? I've tried WordFence, BUT it doesn't seem to be doing the trick...
...My domains are a variety of WordPress and non-WordPress / "Old School" html / css domains.
...Asking for a friend.
: )
- ...Competing with both the "Chick of the Day" & "Apple" threads is disheartening.ideaist
- get a server where the admin handles security. don't give any admin rights to users.uan
- 1. If its the same company w/ multiple wordpresses id look into wordpress multisite, one login to maintain them all. if its just a bunch of clients id use:pockets
- Jetpack(free) or paid options like managewppockets
- 2. Wordfence and sucuri for hardening.. id use a a managed wp host, or aws.. you can never be 100% secure regardlesspockets
- Disable curl in apache and just update a local copy then sync to server. Most exploits need to load scripts from remote servers. This kills that ability.monNom
- oldschool html sites are prone to leaving holes in your serverpockets
- But also kills your ability to update, so you need to run a staging server locally.
Also don't use "free" versions of paid themes from sketchy sitesmonNom - never use the username admin, remove readme.html on all sites and wp version information.pockets
- Strongly consider removing ALL features with user generated content (comments, file uploads, etc.) This is how most exploits happen.monNom
- yea get disable comments pluginpockets
- K, so most of these ideas/solutions have been running through my head...
...Thanks and keep 'em coming.ideaist - https://ps.w.org/suc…pockets
- For managing multiple WP installations I highly recommend https://managewp.com…. Saves me tons of time.nocomply
- As for security/malware prevention, my approach is to set up notifications via ManageWP, run daily backups, and restore from a backup if something goes wrong.nocomply
- A lot of the security tools/plugins have caused more headaches than they prevented for me.nocomply
- Also, invest in good hosting!!nocomply
- And congrats on your second son!nocomply

Hey Guys, I've got a question about making a really simple contact form for a WP theme I'm developing...
As a rule I have been avoiding any unnecessary plug-ins or third party stuff (less bloated, more secure etc.), but it looks like it might be a good idea to use a contact plug-in (gravity/ninja/not really sure!) because they may be more secure.
Is this right or would a hand-coded form be just as secure relying on the inbuilt WP security...
This is the first theme I have developed so any good contact or security advice is welcome.
thanks
- gravity forms ftwPonyBoy
- security on a form? what data is being sent?fadein11
- I've recently started using CalderaForms on a lot of my sites. It's great.noneck
- CalderaForms is a complete form designer tool isn't? it's a really heavy tool. if you want something easy and effective use contact-from7.sted
- if you need advanced features use gravity.
don't waste your time to do this from scratch. you can bundle the plugins with the themested - oh yeah... contact form7 is nice... and it's packaged-in w/ a number of themes now... although I find myself resorting back to gravityPonyBoy
- Thanks guys, 'contact form7' was in my shortlist, so was 'fast secure contact form', but I liked 'c f 7' more...rupedixon
- @fadein11, just concerned about the form being used to send spam etc...rupedixon
- ah - you just need captcha or similar then.fadein11
- I'll throw another vote for Contact Form 7dee-dubs
- If you build yourself, beyond simple captchas/nonces, you need to be careful to sanitize user input. No SQL, no scripts, virus checking uploads, etc.monNom
- look into SQL injection, XSS, XSRFmonNom

A few tips from my own experiences over the past several years building, customizing, and running WP sites:
1. Always, always, ALWAYS use some form of security plugin to manage your site's security, files, access, and monitor it regularly. Know whatever tool you use almost as well as you know WP itself. iThemes and Wordfence are both highly rated, and come with subscription services that have advanced features.
2. Periodically run an anti-virus specific plugin beyond whatever you use for security. Learn the ins-and-outs of what files regularly change based on how the plugin operates.
3. Gain a fairly good understanding of basic PHP. That has helped me tremendously when seeking out files that had malicious code added to them after a hack. Learn what base64 code is and learn how to identify it, and patterns used with it in malicious code. Could go on and on about this, but look into it.
4. Always use a child theme for your customizations.
5. Backup regularly, either manually or with a scheduled service. Follow the suggestions on where to and where not to keep your backups (ex: not on the same root folder as the site itself).
6. Make sure that via your security plugin, you don't have an account called "admin."
7. If you're customizing CSS, use an actual file that you edit on the server or in the WP Editor, and not a custom CSS field that's managed within the theme. I don't know... there's something that causes a lot of frustration with the theme-based custom CSS fields; it's hard to find where that CSS is actually managed in a file, and what the rules are about what it overwrites. It's just so much easier to know you have a file that stands alone to manage, and uses !important for some things that are really hard to overwrite.
8. Don't code, customize, tweak the site, etc. when you're tired. I learned my lesson editing a site once when I couldn't keep my eyes open. Totally lost track of the edits I was making, didn't track them in notepad, and was totally confused the next day.
9. Don't worship Satan.

What backup solutions would you recommend?
BackupBuddy
Backup Guard
Backup & restore Dropboxanything else worth checking out?
dont mind saving to dropbox or google drive so that its safe OFF the server

on the hunt for another recommends.. this time on the subject of "invest in good hosting!!"
Pref UK based, ideally with daily backups, downtime/alert notifications etc.. basically a host to take the headache out of keeping it secure and reliable .

- WPengine.com if Wordpress.
Above average price but worth it.
Does everything you need.fadein11 - Bluehost has wp hosting similar to Wpengine but 1/4 the cost and not as fast. Either you go with a turnkey like these products or you need managed hosting.spot13
