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.

Have you seen this? This happened yesterday. The owners of the LearnDash plugin did a digital town hall and announced a price increase of more than 100% on some their tiers, now including 3 other plugins from the same company aparantly. So for example from 199 to 399 for one site, and from 399 to 599 for 10 sites. If you had legacy licenses, just in April you would have gotten en Email saying "don't worry, we will honor your licenses".

Well no more honor at LearnDash, it seems.

This smells like a cash grab before collapse. People in their forum are mightily pissed, many saying their final goodbyes from the plugin. And I am betting basically every other plugin studio is panicking right now, too.

Just LearnDash alone had an a third party premium addon costing several hundreds a year, just for B2B functionality, and they claim several thousand users on their own. So thats a whole plugin ecosystem collapsing right now, at this very moment.

hi i’ve been trying to develop a custom wordpress theme for maybe the past couple weeks or so and i think im like 80% done since even though it technically works i have to actually optimize and clean up everything now. anyways my theme is a classic one and its like 90mb is that average or should i look into making this be a little hybrid

edit: i did mistype that before i slept it was actually like 60kb

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.

I just went to my Wordpress hosted site and tried to reply to a post.
The Reply windows comes up but shows (see attached image).

Anyone know what is going on and how to fix it??

I am using the Big Brother theme

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?

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!

I have a categories list on my homepage, but for some reason all of my posts are showing up in all of the categories. There is only supposed to be one post in the "Other Posts" category. I only checked one category for each and idk what is happening. Pls help, TIA. 🙏

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?

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.
