What is your preferred workflow? Stuff like FSE, or defaults with a page-to-page basis? Do you use a certain theme or third party page builder? Do you customize styles and layouts before everything? CSS/HTML heavy? Enlighten me.

Let's talk about "All in One WP Migration", and the forced paid upgrade.

This is one of the most popular migration plugins on the wordpress directory...

It worked perfectly, most of the time.

Then one day, the developers decided they weren't making enough money (We're using it for free, I can't really blame them)...

According to several sources on the internet, the developer in 6.78, removed the ability to actually import websites! Essentially making it so EVERYTIME you try to import, it NEVER works, and you always turn to google to try to find a solution.

Several other developers called this behavior out, and realized we can use the old version to flawlessly upload the site files to new websites.

So the developer felt defeated and added back the ability to import! Is what I would love to say. But no. The developer took down all old versions of the plugin.

I run into issues every single time I try using the latest version, exporting always works, but it never imports, and everyone in the support forum reports they had to pay to get it to work.

Thankfully backups with the latest version, work with the YEARS out dated old versions! One github user even modified the plugin to allow any size wordpress import. Magically works without paying. 🤯

How do you all feel about this? Do you have frustration stories about it?

What's the best way to update a google sheet with WPForms data when the form is updated?

We've got a database that is basically run by WPForms and it works really great. The only thing is, using WPForms Views we let users edit their form data. These edits get saved to the WPForms entries just fine. Mostly they just change a date field.

However in the backend we have some pretty complex calculations going on as well as some datasyncing. We have WPForms connected to the Google sheet and when a new entry is made it saves just fine. The problem is, when the user updates, the updated data isn't sent to the Google sheet. I think this is because WPForms doesn't really do a data sync, it just writes a newe row of data to the form.

So my question is, what is the best plug in or workflow for this? I've tired a few (see below) plug ins that say that they do this but they either don't acutally do what we need or are so out of date that they don't work.

I tried making a Zapier workflow but it's find-and-update-row function for Google sheets doesn't allow you to use the form enty ID as the selector, you have to literally pick a row, which seems weird.

What am I missing here?

Plug-ins tried:

Zapier heet to Table Live Sync for Google Sheet Spreadsheet Integration – Google sheet Integration, Sync & Display

"After Wordpress" from Morten Rand-Hendriksen

Very good opinion piece by former Wordpress advocate and educator Morten Rand-Hendriksen on LinkedIn

The number one question I've heard and read from people within and outside WordPress for the past 3 months is this:

"What do we do now?"

In this article I want to share some thoughts publicly that I've been sharing privately for years. I hope what follows sparks reflection and conversation, and leads to more clarity and direction for everyone involved.

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/after-wordpress-morten-rand-hendriksen-mkvgc/

He does a good job explaining the structural problems with Wordpress, why he thinks Mullenwig is "cold dead fingers" about giving up control, and how he thinks the community could move forward.

He also recaps his proposal from 2018 for a proper, fair, and sustainable governance structure for a real Wordpress foundation. Which, unfortunately, then as now Mullenweg adamantly rejects.

Important: For Morten, "After Wordpress" doesn't mean "instead of open-source Wordpress software." It does mean after its current pseudo-monarchy/oligarchy. (Where a handful of companies contribute most of the "volunteers" and therefore dictate most core priorities.)

Multi interactive map pictures

Hi, has anyone tried like putting drawattention projects short code into for example WP TABS for the user to view couple interactive pictures without leaving container space/site? In free version i can only cast one like [drawattention] shortcode, and when i put it into wp tabs it needs a refresh becouse it loads as a white canvas. Have you any solution for viewing diffrent interactive images in same space?

How do I add this feature?

Hey guys,

I’m using a plugin called WP Event Manager to build an event booking website. I want to have the option of different currencies when adding tickets. For example add a ticket that’s in dollars and another in euros in the same event.

Is there any way I can do that?

Issue with Ultimate Member Plugin

Brand new to Wordpress.

I am running Wordpress locally on docker. I built the containers and they are running. I can access the website on localhost:8000. I can also access it from other devices on my network by using the IP address and port 8000. however, I added a plugin for handling user accounts called Ultimate Member and now have some issues. I can still access the landing page on 192.168.4.xx:8000 from other devices, and on localhost:8000 from this device. Also, from this device, I can access the pages associated with the new plugin. however, when I try to access the plugin pages from another devices, the requests do not seem to reach the server.

Any ideas would be helpful. In case this is a docker issue, I'll be posting about it in that sub as well. Thanks!

EDIT: Resolved. The links to the other pages are switching from the IP to 'localhost' causing the issue.

Is Kadence $799 Full Bundle LTD worth the price?

Hi,

Is Kadence's "Full Bundle LTD" really worth the $799 price? It's a high price compared to other themes/plugins.

I'm not very familiar with the extra plugins included, like "Custom Fonts, Shopkit for WooCommerce, Kadence Conversions, Kadence Insights, Kadence Pattern Hub, and Kadence Recaptcha." etc.

Do these tools make the high price worth it?

Or is the main value in Kadence PRO and Kadence Blocks PRO?

Also.. what do you think about the free versions of Kadence and Kadence Blocks? What are the most important features missing compared to the PRO versions?

Thanks!

Hiding page titles for all pages

Hello,

I had the page titles hidden on my wordpress but I've just upgraded from 2024 to 2025 theme and they've come back.

I know how to fix it individually, by swapping the template to "Page No Tile" but I have 61 pages on my site. Is there anyway to get it to apply to all pages at once?

Anyone experiencing Mobile issue with latest Elementor update ?

The last Elementor update had broken everything under the sun for a not money making personal website. It is crazy, the whole site disappeared when the plugin was updated, the front page disappeared. I can’t be the only one experiencing these issues ?

Latest Wordpress posts not indexing

What could cause my most recent posts to stop indexing? Google webmasters says the pages can be indexed however after weeks and multiple requests they are not indexing. Google Index crawl status shows N/A for everything.

My posts have always indexed and remain indexed so I’m not sure why this is now happening.

I appreciate any suggestions!
