Trying to edit a membership plugin Login page, but can't because I'm logged into Wordpress.

I'm editing my site with Bricks and using Profile Press for membership.

I've added the login page shortcode to a page, and can see the "You're Already Logged In" message from the page. How can I see the non-logged in page in my editor so I can edit it?

I want to extract the Wonderblocks feature from Bluehost as I have migrated host and want to continue using Wonderblocks to edit my Wordpress blog posts but remove the Bluehost plugin to improve performance and security

As the title says. Here a bit more thorough explanation:

I migrated from Bluehost to Hetzner recently, making my Wordpress standalone, as it was previously connected to Bluehost (I bought a Bluehost package that included WP functionality).

After switching host, I had to install WP on Hetzner and upload my most recent backup. Obviously, the backup includes the Bluehost plugin which was native to my Wordpress.

Upon uninstalling that plugin to remove any trace of Bluehost, I noticed I lost a lot of my blogs block patterns. After re-uploading the backup the "Wonderblocks" were back and I did some research and realised that Wonderblocks are from Bluehost.

So... How do i continue using Wonderblocks (because they are really good), while still uninstalling the Bluehost plugin to improve performance and security?

Thanks.

Does Avada fits my specific needs?

For reference, I don't have any coding or website building skills, I do have marketing and design skills so I know how a good and effective website should look like. This being said, I'm in the lookout for a theme that is straight-forward and easy to use, with drag&drop and easy frontend editing that allows me to play around with different widgets, themes, and elements.

I don't need many features, I just need a website that looks good, since this is for a pretty high-ticket service that will have a simple contact form as the main Action Button, and also a couple of "request an offer" type of product pages with contact forms. So it's a combination of a service based website and ecommerce.

I also need something that doesn't require a lot of maintanaince or knowledge in that sense.

So, is Avada a good choice for this, or do you guys have other recommandations?

Thank you!

Migration *help*

To start I’m a total beginner and budget is an issue. So I want to help someone to modernise an outdated site. I want to be keeping the same domain but the website is built in opencart which I don’t know how to use and I d like to move it to Wordpress

What would be the best way to go about it?I searched stuff up but I’m confused I want the site to still be up while I’m working on it

Do I have to create the site from scratch on a local Wordpress installation and then moving the domain to the new site? If so how would I move it? And would it affect SEO? It has a good ranking on google and I don’t want to change that

Are there other ways? Can I move the site to Wordpress the way it is and just tweak a few things there?

I need a Google plugin to fetch websites' datas in Search Console ?

Hello,

I am looking for a plugin that would allow users to connect with their Google account as such :

1- The user authentifies himself with Google auth.2 (and there are lots of plugins for this).

2- After the login, the plugin displays the list of the websites in Search Console to which he has access.

3- The user selects one website and is then connected to Search Console, from where he can fetch datas and treat them.

Yet I know that such services exist, but this is a small in-house project (so budget is close to ground zero).

Does anyone know such a plugin (free or paid), or a plugin that can be customized as such ?

Thanks :).

Categories go back to "uncategorized" after saving

My WordPress was just automatically updated to the latest version and I noticed a bug where I create something and I schedule it, the category I select gets unselected and it goes to "uncategorized,"

When I go back in the editor to select the category again, it doesn't work and reverts to uncategorized. The only way it works is if I do the quick edit from the main posts page and change it.

Is it just me or there's a bug?

Building my first website and have issues with page speed

I'm building a funny meme website - so by nature I need to use a lot of visuals.

I've tried to use small webp for images and using Tenor links for GIFs using Guetnberg.

Even after doing this the page size is quite big and does not load very fast:

See the page here: https://everythingsfunny.net/lol/50-funny-horse-names/

What is the best way to speed up the page?

Thank you in advance.

Why is my featured image only showing on mobile Google search but not desktop

I set a featured image for my website, the image is already compressed because gpt said large files could be an issue. I’m using Yoast SEO and in the preview window it only shows the featured image in mobile result and not desktop. I tested by googling with my phone and computer and the result is the same. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Recommend me a solid form plugin - without jquery

I'm looking for a good plugin that can be used to easily create forms - and that works completely without jquery in the frontend. My search so far has produced many form plugins that unfortunately have jquery as a dependency. Since I always rely on vanilla javascript for my themes, it would be counterproductive if jquery is then required for the form. If there is a lifetime license for the plugin, or a free version already covers some basic requirements well, that would be a nice bonus.

How well does criticalcss.com work?

For those of who you've used criticalcss.com (whether that's through Autoptimize or just by itself) to generate the above-the-fold critical CSS for your website, how accurate was it and how much did it increase your Google PageSpeed score? I'm at 95 right now and I'm hoping this is a low-effort way to get me a few points higher.

Woocommerce error notice issue in the cart

Hi everyone,

Hoping that maybe someone had a similar bug and was able to fix it. I've used Essential Addons plugin to add my cart element to my website. When adding an incorrect coupon, or additional coupon (stacking isn't allowed), the error notice appears next to the "apply coupon" button instead of at the top of the page. I realized that when I disable JavaScript in the browser, this error is fixed and the error notice appears at the top of the page as it supposed to be.

I am attaching images depicting the issue, and how the error notice should look like (once JavaScript is disabled in the browser)

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Submit Email to see Restricted Content Plugin

Is there any plugin that can restrict content and let audience to submit their details like email, name, county to check the article. For example someone want to read a article that may valuable, and it will popup a form and when he will fill the form can read the article.
I found so many membership plugins but they have too many features and we don't need them. We want a simple plugin that will do it easily without adding too many codes.

Wordpress ticket support

I'm wondering if there is a plugin or a as-needed Wordpress consultant you all could recommend for periodic website updates.

A little background- I set up a Wordpress website for a nonprofit I'm a board member for. The site is pretty simple with a couple of nice plugins and a couple of widgets (membershipworks, displaying google maps, etc). Most of our daily operations are automated and shouldn't require updates on the back end, however I would like to have a system in place for after I step down if other members on the board didn't feel confident enough th edit text, create pages, or troubleshoot issues. This will likely be needed a couple times a year.

How long does it typically take to get a support ticket reply for ACF Pro?

Hi there, I created a ticket with ACF Pro support a little more than 3 days ago but have not heard back. For those who have used ACF Pro support, how long does it take for someone to respond? This feels like a long time. I am stuck on this project until I hear back.

Questions regarding SEO Yoast VS WP Bakery

Hi everyone! I'm updating my company's website for the first time and noticed it's built on WordPress using WP Bakery for page design and Yoast SEO for rankings. However, I've also found an SEO section in WP Bakery for each page. It seems that Google is using the information from Yoast SEO to rank the site, so I’m wondering if there’s any benefit to filling out the SEO section in WP Bakery as well. Could this create any issues, or would it have a positive impact? Or no modifications at all...

How to stop the WordPress gallery from misbehaving? No lightbox, spanning widths, etc.

The default WordPress Gallery block is (still) terrible:

  • There is no lightbox
  • The first image is the same size as all others
  • If you don't hit an even number, your final image will span the whole width of the block
  • I can't add a caption to the block overall, only individual images

Can someone help me (ideally without the use of plugins) to address these issues?

  • I want to have a lightbox

  • I want the first image to be large, and the other images to exist as a film strip underneath (just like Woo)

  • I want to be able to do this natively in the post, not have to create a gallery in a plugin and then add it to the post

  • Optional: Overall captions for the entire block, not just individual ones

How can this be achieved? I'm thinking Code Snippets, but can't seem to find any online.

This has been an issue for ages, and I'm just returning to galleries after several years of not using them, thinking that these basic functions would have been included by now in a previous WP update.

If anyone can please help, I'll be disseminating this information as far and wide as I can, and including it for all client projects, so you'd be doing a massive help to the community as well!

404-problem won’t go away

I’ve been trying to setup a Wordpress blog. I’m still developing, getting to know WP and setting it up before it replaces a static website, so I’m currently only running it locally on my MacBook. I installed the 6.7 update, naively skipped making a back-up (“it’s not critical atm, so how bad could it be”), but now everything but the homepage gives me a 404 error.

I’ve been reading post after post on how to fix it and none of it is working. Changing the permalink structure to plain fixes it. Changing it back to post name structure and saving it again gives me 404 errors again and does not fix it, like some sites suggest. I reset the htaccess file, but to no avail. Turned off all the plug-ins, but those don’t seem to cause the problem. Doing first one, then the other or doing the other first and then the one doesn’t seem to make a difference.

All other troubleshooting searches I do are repeats of the “solutions” that have already failed me. Does anybody know what to do?

Stripe Connect On Cash Payments

Hi,

I’m currently developing a system using WordPress where I charge my clients a certain percentage on every transaction. I know this can be done using Stripe Connect, but the issue is that the system will also include cash payments, and I still want to be able to charge a commission on these cash payments.

So, my question is: is this something that can be done? If so, how? Or are there any alternative solutions for this?

Thanks!
