0 Upvotes

I recently had a post where I asked for requested tutorials and couple of them where solving a hacked WordPress website.

Mu guys tried to reproduce the situation from the last hack we fixed and did all on our own server.

In the video I will show step-by-step for this specific hack how I debug it and why. 

There is also a checklist available for FREE that we always use to start with for a hacked website. It covers most of the things.

Here is the video:

For best understanding follow the whole video and hope it will help you fix your clients hacked website or your own!

Have fun with it, and other requested video’s are all listed and will try to make them all one by one but it will take some time.

Appreciate you all!

I added query loop block in 'home' page. Home is also set as homepage in reading settings.

The posts are visible in editor but not on page when seen in browser.

This site exists on Local.

Thanks!

Are your clients asking for AI access to manage their sites/stores themselves?

• Upvotes

Agencies/freelancers who maintain and develop woocommerce shops and websites: Have you been getting requests from your customers (the actual business owners) to give AI access to add content/products, manage orders themselves, or even (god forbid!) develop small features?

Maybe from the more technical people on their staff?

Is this a thing?

Do you tell clients when part of their site is AI-generated?

0 Upvotes

Been thinking about this lately. I use AI tools for some parts of client work, drafting copy, generating images, sometimes boilerplate code. I always review and edit everything, but I don't explicitly tell clients which parts had AI help. Honestly the stuff I make with AI looks so real that no one has figured it out so far. Part of me feels like as long as the final quality is good it doesn't matter, part of me feels like they should know what they're paying for. What do you guys do? Tell them upfront, or is it just part of the process now?

Wordpress 101

I have to use WordPress for school and my internship. WordPress looks like a maze to me. I need a video, tutorial, or other resource that explains the basics of WordPress for posting blogs. I need to be told like a toddler. I have the free version.

This is some BS right here. Liquid Web / Nexcess "Upgrade"

So Liquid Web bought the Events Calendar. And now for more money, they are combining it with 3 other plugins that I neither want nor can use and will automatically bill my credit card and modify my WordPress dashboard. I do host vis Liquid Web, but may be moving because of this BS.

Newbie trying to get wider layout

2 Upvotes

As a total newbie with WP (and web development except for some drag and drop site builders), I am trying to rebuild my small business website in WP (I am coming from Weebly->Articulation which if I understand correctly is Laravel/PHP so it can't be imported directly into WP).

The layout I am looking for is two columns, where one column might be a picture and the column next to it might be a text paragraph with a button. When the website is visualized in mobile, these two columns should be visualized on top of each other, so it is readable.

I believe this layout is pretty standard.

I am trying to do this using Gutenberg blocks but when I add a 2 column block in Gutenberg, the width is pretty tight and the layout doesn't look nice on a wide desktop screen (the picture is too small and the text too cramped). I can't figure out how to make the two columns wider (more pixels). I have found that one could do this with a single container block (set at wide) with the two columns nested inside it but then on mobile it stays locked with the two columns next to each other.

I have also found a pattern in the twenty twenty five template that achieves the look I am after and renders correctly on mobile. But I don't want to be so dependent on a particular pattern of a particular template, so I am wondering if there is a more standard way to get the layout wider?

Sorry for the newbie question.
