Md3server has me confused about my WP

I signed up with M3server and bought a hosting plan and they also loaded for me wp-script along with WP. It was an all inclusive deal. After they were done they gave me no instructions on what to do to start building my adult site. I couldn't access my WP/admin dashboard to do anything. I sent a ticket explaining all I was experiencing asking for assist to get the site up and running. Their customer service is lacking, their response was "We don't have anything to do with WP user names or passwords and it sounds like the wp-script we loaded was hacked" That was it, helped me none. I attempted to get it going myself but give up. While trying to do it myself I've made things worse. And spent money I feel I shouldn't have needed to. Somehow I purchased a WP premium plan and wp script and got all the plugin for $98. I was doing well getting it set up but when I tried to upload wp-script it won't do it, it's saying I need to spend more money for the WP Business plan in order to load WP script and any plugins. Why was I never made to get the business plan with M3server and they loaded wp-script just fine they say. I feel like I have been charged twice for everything and now they want $98 more to upgrade me to business plan. Can any of you guys help me and let me know what to do step by step I'm so lost.

Parent pages vs Subdirectory Website

Can someone help in explaining which is better? I’m confused on what the best route is.

I have a website abcd.com and I want to combine another site 1234.com , the URL structure should now be abcd.com/1234/about us. The other site has about 15 pages so I would just be recreating them in the main site under a parent page.

I’m trying to figure out if this is the best route or should I be creating an entire directory instead of just new pages within the main site.

Open-source .NET library designed for keyboard and mouse control in Windows.

Hi everyone, I want to tell you about a new open-source .NET library DeftSharp.Windows.Input with which you can control keyboard and mouse in Windows. It is intended for use in various UI frameworks such as WPF, WinUI, Avalonia, and MAUI, providing a universal solution for all types of Windows applications.

The library offers a wide range of features including event subscriptions, bindings, preventing input events, device information and a lot of other things. It also provides flexible custom interceptors, allowing users to define their own logic.

It's under active community development and if you want to get involved, that would be great! We have some "good first issues", besides that you can offer your ideas.

Main Features

  • Subscribe to global keyboard and mouse events
  • Simulation of input from the code
  • Prevent specific input events
  • Change key bindings
  • Custom interceptors
  • Device information

Examples

Simple key subscription

You can subscribe to global keyboard events. Including their sequence and combination.

var keyboardListener = new KeyboardListener();

// Subscription for each click
keyboardListener.Subscribe(Key.Space, key => Trace.WriteLine($"The {key} was pressed"));

// One-time subscription
keyboardListener.SubscribeOnce(Key.Space, key => Trace.WriteLine($"The {key} was pressed"));

// Subscription to the combination
keyboardListener.SubscribeCombination([Key.LeftShift, Key.W], () =>
    Trace.WriteLine($"The Shift + W was pressed"));

Input control from the code

You can simulate the operation of your keyboard and mouse by calling different input actions.

var keyboard = new KeyboardManipulator();
var mouse = new MouseManipulator();

keyboard.Press(Key.Escape);
keyboard.Press(Key.LeftCtrl, Key.V); 

mouse.Click();
mouse.DoubleClick();
mouse.Scroll(150); 

Prevent input events

You can prevent input events by default or with some condition.

var keyboard = new KeyboardManipulator();
var mouse = new MouseManipulator();

// Each press of this button will be ignored
keyboard.Prevent(Key.Delete); 

// Prevent with condition
keyboard.Prevent(Key.Escape, () => 
{
   var currentTime = DateTime.Now;

   return currentTime.Minute > 30;
});

// Prevent mouse scroll            
mouse.Prevent(PreventMouseEvent.Scroll);

Using the DeftSharp library is intuitive and our main focus is on user-friendliness, so feedback is very important to us.

For those who want to use this library, it is available on Nuget.

If you want to support the library, you can put a star on the GitHub repository. This will motivate further development.

Write your opinion. What would you like to see or what should be changed? Thanks for your time :)

Custom coded website to Wordpress.

I have a custom coded website that I created, but I want to make it more advanced with more pages, plugins and make it faster, I have read that the best way to do it is making it into a Wordpress site, because it offers a lot of plugins and extensions, but my question is: Where do I start, do I need to create the website from scratch or is it possible to somehow import it, what themes to use where do I add custom code and stuff like that, basically how to operate Wordpress?

Windows Phone game

Astral Battles by Egor Bogatov was, and still is, the best mobile game I've played across any platform. Simple to pick up, strategic, enjoyable, from memory it had offline and online play. It's really the only thing at all that I loved about my windows phone experience. Is there any way to play it nowadays (ie an android port)?

What AWS platform package is best to host my WP sites?

Good morning all! I am old programmer from the days of DOS. I have had my hosting & domains tied to Network Solutions (Web.com) since the beginning of time. I have 3 simple WP sites on one hosting package. Long story short, I am SICK of the poor service and extortion at [Web.co](https://Web.com)m and opened an AWS account.

I have a tight budget and I have multiple domains and each site just displays info and pics of my business. Is AWS the best company to host my websites and email server on? What AWS package do I want to enroll to in order to host my WP sites? Your help is greatly appreciated.

8 INSTALL ALL DRIVERS


Install all drivers needed for your system to operate. At this point Windows update is disabled and an ethernet connection can be plugged in. Drivers should be downloaded on a separate machine in order to minimize the exposure to the internet since most security features are disabled. • GPU • Network • Chipset • SSD drivers • Video Capture • Audio • USB • Etc.


9 INSTALL Programs


Preferably install Programs on a different drive or partition than the system. For example: D:\Programs.


10 WINDOWS SETTINGS

WP Bakery & PHP 8 BREAKS site

Ever since php 8 upgrade this site breaks with following error.

Unparenthesized `a ? b : c ? d : e`   Use either (a ? b : c) ? d : e or a ? b : (c ? d : e)  in /wp-content/plugins/js_composer/include/classes/editors/class-vc-frontend-editor.php on line 673  

If i fix it I get a fatal error from each function - with no other log messages.

This is a friends website.
I think its due to WPBakery stopping free version compatibility but I am not sure.
Any Ideas?

Does Windows 11 use UWP or WinAPI?

From what I can find, UWP is intended for app development on the Windows 10 platform. As far as I can tell, neither official nor external documentation have included Windows 11 in the scope. What does this mean? Is Windows 11 reverting to WinAPI?

Stop UWP ListView from scrolling to top when updating ObservableCollection

When I update my ObservableCollection which is bound to my ListView it automatically scrolls to the top.

My code that gets the data currently looks like this with records being the ObsevableCollection:

        public async Task getData()
        {

            var client = new HttpClient();
            HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(new Uri("https://api.nomics.com/v1/currencies/ticker?key=<api key>&limit=10"));
            var jsonString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
            JsonArray root = JsonValue.Parse(jsonString).GetArray();
            records.Clear();
            for (uint i = 0; i < root.Count; i++)
            {
                string id = root.GetObjectAt(i).GetNamedString("id");
                string name = root.GetObjectAt(i).GetNamedString("name");
                decimal price = decimal.Parse(root.GetObjectAt(i).GetNamedString("price"));
                records.Add(new Coin {
                    id = id,
                    name = name,
                    price = Math.Round(price, 4),
                    logo = "https://cryptoicon-api.vercel.app/api/icon/" + id.ToLower()
                });
            };

                           FontWeight="SemiBold"
                           Foreground="DarkGray" />
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding price}"

                           Foreground="White" 
                           Opacity="1" />
                    </StackPanel>
                    </StackPanel>
                </DataTemplate>
            </ListView.ItemTemplate>
            <ListView.ItemsPanel>
                <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                    <ItemsStackPanel ItemsUpdatingScrollMode="KeepItemsInView" />
                </ItemsPanelTemplate>
            </ListView.ItemsPanel>
        </ListView>

Is there any way to disable this behavior cause it's causing really a really bad UX. I've tried updating every single item individually but couldn't get that to work. Thanks.

How do you promote an app in the Microsoft Store?

A few weeks ago I released my first application (WinForms application using DesktopBridge) in the Microsoft Store.

How have you promoted your application to get more users?

Are you using Facebook/Google/Bing Ads, or are you 100% relying on organic traffic from Google or the Microsoft Store?

The app can be found here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/coragi-imageprint/9ns8bm1gm1w1

I've created a website to describe the features:
http://www.coragi.com/imageprint/

I'm looking forward to know more about your experiences.

Tag Adding Box as used in the "To: " section of a new Email

Hi, I'd like to Google this but I'm new to UWP and don't even know the terminology. Is there a class for the Panel/View/Box used for a typical address text box as used in the heading of a new email (to, cc, etc)? Another example of this is adding tags when creating a stack overflow post.

I want to be able to type into a text box and hit tab or enter to snap the text into a button-like tag with an x to remove the tag. The cursor would then move to the end of the tag list as if the tag-buttons were in the text box as well.

Thanks for any help!

                                </StackPanel>
                            </ComboBoxItem>
                            <ComboBoxItem>
                                <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                                    <TextBlock Background="Green">Green</TextBlock>
                                </StackPanel>
                            </ComboBoxItem>  
 </ComboBox> 

Thanks in advance.

MS Store app/UWP devs -- anyone having serious issues with analytics/acquisitions data?

Anyone with apps on the MS Store having serious issues with MS's analytics/acquisitions data recently (past few weeks)?

By this I mean:
-traffic data is seriously underreporting
-custom campaign traffic data is MIA

It was being cited by MS as "Acquisitions funnel data is inaccurate" but there's more to it. Anyone else having these major issues or other problems?

Is it possible to access wifi direct API and other windows APIs in PWA for windows 10?

I'm planning to create an application for windows that needs access wifi direct api to allow service discovery and advertisement. I come from web and react native background, so after seeing so many options to go with on the microsoft website, i'm not sure what should I go with.

On the microsoft's choose your platform page (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/desktop/choose-your-platform), they also mentioned PWAs (although close to the bottom). And after checking the PWA page, i'm not sure if it allows access (and to what extent) to the native API, the wifi direct api in particular.

So can someone please tell me if it's possible to access wifi direct api in a PWA and should I really go with PWAs? Oh and I just saw another option while creating a new project with Visual Studio regarding creating an ASP.NET using react JS but I didn't see anything mentioned regarding react on the official docs (I might have missed it). Does the react.JS built ASP.NET run entirely on client side (cause I'm looking for a client-only solution)?

[C# UWP] MediaCapture is failing silently

I've got a MediaCapture setup that, for reasoning I'm still sussing out, only records one second of video without giving me any sort of discernible error or exception.

This only happens if I'm pulling audio and video from the same device, such as an HDMI-to-USB capture device, and even then only on some devices: one device might fail as explained, but another device of the same model won't.

What could be going wrong within UWP, if anything? Which components ought I look deeper into to find the problem?

[C# UWP] FileOpenPicker opens twice with keyboard accelerators

I would like to add keyboard shortcuts to some buttons. But for some reason the keyboard accelerator triggers the event twice. When I just click the button with the mouse, it works as expected.

<MenuBar>
        <MenuBarItem Title="File">
            <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Open file..." Click="OnOpen" Icon="OpenFile">
                <MenuFlyoutItem.KeyboardAccelerators>
                    <KeyboardAccelerator Key="O" Modifiers="Control"/>
                </MenuFlyoutItem.KeyboardAccelerators>
        </MenuFlyoutItem>
   </MenuBarItem>
</MenuBar>

FileLoader.LoadFile here shows the FileOpenPicker:

private async void OnOpen(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{  
   if (!Busy)
   {
        var loadedFile = await FileLoader.LoadFile(".txt", PickerLocationId.Desktop);
                
         if(loadedFile != null)
         {
                 await FileLoader.LoadTextFile(loadedFile);

         }
    }                
}        

The same problem is happening with a FileSavePicker elsewhere in my code.

How can I prevent this from happening?
