From where to start ?

I’ve been around digital marketing for a while mai ku managing social media accounts on platforms amd never tracking any result with google a alit is or other specific tool. There results I was receiving were good enough for me but now I would like to do the step and learn how to create a website, I found out there are many solutions for this but I think that Wordpress is the most flexible.

So I started creating a website using the theme twenty twenty four but that theme I really counter intuitive and everything is super hard to get done.

I went back and found there are other theme that can Be easily personalised that are more intuitive to take my first steps.

Now my question is, is it possible to create a website on Wordpress without using any theme ? Just creating pages on Gutenberg and customising them? If not which are the best theme to start with for a beginner like me ?

This custom theme is a mess. Advice?

TLDR; I acquired a sizable blog (300+ posts) that’s on Wordpress org and currently has a custom theme that is in dire need of updating. It’s set up with the Gutenberg editor. I want to redesign the website and switch it over to a more drag and drop friendly theme/editor BUT I have limited technical Wordpress knowhow and come from a history of using drag and drop builders. Is this redesign realistic?

Full context: This site has lost considerable traffic throughout the last year of Google updates. The theme is bad enough that the user experience sucks, TBH.

The backend and editing of the pages is not intuitive at all for me and is really difficult to manage and/or make any meaningful edits to.

I came across this theme which seems so much more user friendly for me https://wordpress.org/themes/spectra-one as I’ll need to be able to easily update the pages and I don’t have the coding knowledge needed to do that with the current theme.

What’s the most realistic way to transition my current setup to a Wordpress org website that’s more like the drag and drop visual style editor so I can actually make meaningful changes?

Thanks in advance for any advice with this, truly appreciate it.

Help - Posts Not Loading

Hello all. I am so incredibly new to this. Made a free Wordpress account. Created two posts, which I can see on the site's home page. When I click on a post's title to view more information, it takes me to a blank white site with no information loading. It looks the same on multiple devices. What am I not doing right?

Is there any who-is-who capable theme?

I need to make a gallery about 250 people.

One picture per person. Then I’ll need to list the department they are working in. Sometimes people work in two or even three departments at the same time.

Is there any theme you can recommend for this small project?

Thank you in advance… :)

Freemium or premium theme ?

Hi everyone,

I work on a website for the first time with a free theme named blocksy.
My website is 1001vies87.fr (website for an anti-wind turbine association).
The result isn't very well and I want to know if I buy the pro version, is there lot of features to customize the website and reduce the gap between every content ? Because for the moment, I think I use the most of it without touching the CSS customizer.

The mobile responsive is awful too.

The price isn't the problem because the association prefer to get a visual customizer to set a beautiful website.

Thanks

Looking to create a portfolio site for design services

Hi all, I'd prefer to use wordpress and would like to build a portfolio presentation site similar to Model site. I want a square space like experience but I'm not sure which theme/site builder to use. Can anyone guide me on picking one that is simple and easy to use. I tried betheme premade templates and I found it pretty confusing for some of them to figure out how to replace the media with my own.

I definitely prefer to work with drag and drop (elementor style) than anything with code and would like as close to a square space like experience as possible preferably with templates so I can just move/change a few things around here and there.

Preference for wordpress is simply so I can use the plugins /SEO capabilities needed as we scale.

Thank you.

Seeking a theme with a simple front page that is a tiled series of titled images that link to galleries.

The one theme I'd found that fit the bill was by Graphpaper Press, but it's no longer supported and I'm having trouble with some of the basic functionality.

This shouldn't be so hard to find, and yet it is?

Just released a free theme

Really simple stuff. Just wanted to experiment with wordpress theme development and the timber framework. I focused on performance, SEO, and mobile responsiveness. Check it out at https://wpdevninja.com (it uses the theme). Could be used as a base theme as well. Your feedback would be much appreciated.

Gutenbergs Latest Post Block - Can I somehow add each featured image and use the same URL inside each <li> tag as background?

I'm in WordPress Gutenberg and have a block of my latest posts.

I don't want to mess with PHP because I think updates might break things when the theme updates.
And I prefer to do it without plugins.

I have a small image in a div tag for each post.

I would like to use, lets say the 10 pixels from the top, bottom, right and left of the small image and stretch it so it covers the DIV.

Is that possible with CSS alone?

Question #2:

If not, can I somehow get the IMG URL easily using either CSS or javascript to just stretch it as background, and then show the original over?

The WP latest posts block generates code that look something like this for each post:

<li>

<div class="wp-block-latest-posts__featured-image aligncenter">

<img src="hxxps://www.bl0gg088.com/wp-content/uploads/imguploaded-294x205.jpg" class="attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image"

</div>

<a class="wp-block-latest-posts__post-title" href="hxxps://www.bl0gg088.com/cool-application">Cool App Title</a>

<div class="wp-block-latest-posts__post-excerpt">Bla bla bla description</div>

</li>

So I should be able to set a background image in the <li> tag, but how can I get the URL to the featured image using CSS? Or maybe JavaScript?

Hard work doesn't mean sales. Suggestions?

Hi all, I've worked on this Wordpress theme for a while and has been some time since I released it, kind of forgotten about it.

Literally 0 sales but I believe it's a good theme for a certain demographic (news sites, blogs).

What would be the best way for me to market it? Are there any affiliate marketers here who would like to take a shot at it? I'd be fine with a 50% commision.

Happy to send a free copy to anyone who seems genuinly interested.

You can view the feature presentation here: https://www.codester.com/items/46617/news-publication-theme-wordpress

And a couple demos here: https://procoders.co/demos/dark-newspaper/

https://www.procoders.co/demos/modern/

I think the main issue is that the preview link on codester is not working right but also I have a hard time getting the theme accepted into bigger sites like Themeforest

Recommendation for a theme for a recording, podcast and photography site

Hi, I'm looking for any recommendations on a theme for setting up a podcast, recording and photography studio for a client. I'm fairly new in wp and still plating around with themes. I found Recond and I think it would be a good fit, but I wanted to put some feelers out there to see if anyone has a better recommendation. I'd prefer if I can use elementor with it as I'm doing training on this right now but wpbakery doesn't seem to difficult ether.

Looking for simple photo album theme

I'm looking for a very simple photo album theme. I just want the home page to display the categories (for instance "London trip", "Beach Party", "My Car") with a single (featured) image, then when they click on a category, go the a page where they can view the photos of that category. And maybe with a short description per photo.

I've checked dozens of themes but they are all waaaayy too extensive and complicated to set up and require tons of plug-ins to work at all...

Does anyone know of such a theme (if it's free that would be a welcome bonus)?

Searchable directory theme or plugin to support WNC small businesses affected by Hurricane Helene

I’m needing some help/suggestions on finding a low cost Wordpress plugin or theme that would allow for an online searchable directory of businesses.

I’m in the Asheville area and I run an org that supports female entrepreneurs (@hiveambition on IG if you’re interested).

I’m currently creating a google sheet of 300+ women owned businesses and want to have a public facing, easy to use directory that I can promote outside of WNC for others to easily purchase from and support our small business economy here as it has been significantly impacted by Helene.

My dream would be that the plugin or theme ties into some kind of zapier or automation that is connected to the sheet so anytime someone new is added with the appropriate criteria, they are automatically added to the live user facing directory on my landing page. Not sure if that is feasible.

I’m doing all of this without funding so also taking cost into consideration.

Also - if there is a different tool vs an actual plugin/theme that may be better suited for this, I’m all ears!

Working hard to get this up asap to give these women some support during this devastating time 🙏💛
