[AMA] Ask Me Anything About WordPress 2020

[Deleted member 752298]

Hey Festinger thanks for your AMA and your free Downloads.

Do you think AMP makes sense for a site that want to rank in a local market?

You're welcome man. Regarding your question:

Yes, in terms of speed it's always wise to use a AMP plugin, not restricted to local or wide market

Dear Sir, I am new to BHW and I love the amount of information I get from here. So that being said I move onto my questions. I bought a plugin and theme for a car rental business and worked on it for a couple of years. Recently I got an SSL certificate from Sectigo and when I put it in the WordPress site, all my photos stopped showing in the front end but are in the resources of the site. When checking the settings of the theme it shows https so there is no conflict there. I had a slider on the main page which is also gone and last but not least when trying to view each cars page with details, the button is grayed and the link seems broken. Could it be that the registration key of my website isn’t valid and it went kind of default mode or could it be something else? My question probably needs more details, any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for your question.

My guess the problem is not related to your theme configuration. You have to update your URLs within your WP database, by using a plugin like this:
https://nl.wordpress.org/plugins/search-and-replace/ - use the plugin to replace the old URL (without the https) with the new URL (https://domain.com)

This should probably fix the issue.

I think something like that (look at the picture) .....the customers can comment and can rate your webiste (design, etc) Can you help me with it? Thank you so much !

Yes, this can be done by using custom fields for your comments - this plugin is a sample, but there are many more:
https://nl.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-comment-fields/

If this plugin doesn't suit your needs, let me know and I will bring some other options too.

Thanks for this AMA.
What is your take on YOAST readability score? Do you always aim for green score? I have a problem understanding what to do with the "consecutive sentence".

My aim is not always green score - my main blog posts are the main focus and I am trying to achieve the green score.
Less important pages, I am not really worried about the readability score, but that's also because of laziness

Hi man, thanks for open this thread.
not sure if answered before, but curious of how you silo your WordPress?
Thanks a lot

In terms of protection?

Apparently the theme I have already has this built into it.
I have the attach feature and unattach on there.

I was hoping for something that would see where the image was and just reattach it for me.. lol

I can't seem to find anything either if this should be done or if it just doesn't matter for anything.

Sorry, in this area I don't have that experience to give you a good advice, sorry bro.

Thanks, Cheers

You're welcome man!

What is the best Aspect Ratio for a Carousel Image for a business Website

I would say 3/4 above the fold and a CTA button / text below the carousel image (I guess you mean the header for a carousel image)?

Hi, did you pointed a link to other post from your cornerstone content ?

Sorry, did I miss something?

Which is the best page builder for WP?
Elementor pro
Elegant themes
Brizy Page Builder
Beaver Builder
WpBakery

There is not actually a 'best' page builder for WP. I'd personally prefer Elementor Pro + Divi Builder (since the new release) - but it's also important to check if your theme is compatible with the page builder.

Best theme Vlog site? newbie here!

Found the BeTheme upload, I think this will work just fine for me. Can you recommend any YT videos, or courses or any other sources material that would help someone who's unfamiliar with WP and want to setup their website?

The channel of this guy is pretty interesting - clear information about WordPress and guide you easily through the CMS.

@Festinger or anyone else.

I downloaded betheme from your share and installed prebuilt website Agency 3.

I didn't notice and done with adding content and everything, but there is a "Buy Now" button that I don't know how to remove, I searched all over and the solution is only in their support forum and asking to signup by providing purchase code.

Can you please help me remove it?

Thanks in advance.

Send me a PM and I will have a look!

Whats the best method for compressing images?

 

[Zmayze]

So I'm selling copyrighted products and yesterday I got a DMCA email to remove all products related to a company.

1. How do I deal with these DMCA emails that threaten to shutdown and report my papal account?

2. What can you recommend me to keep my website and paypal safe?

3. What other payment processors do you suggest when selling these copyrighted products.

4. What can I do to keep using my paypal? I'm using a business paypal account at the moment?

5. What do you do to keep your website safe?

Thanks

Hi Festinger, First of all thanx for your wonderful share here and there.

I'm building an amazon affiliate website which will look like thewirecutter (with only one type of article, Best X ).
My question is about CTA (product's card ). I'm planning to use advanced custom field and elementor pro. I want to have on each article few custom fields such as product_1_title, product_1_url and so on. This is not a problem because ACF is made for this and is very easy to use. Once these fields are completed, I get this value in the elementor section template (one for each product) then I insert each product's shortcode in my article.

Everything work fine, but it's a pain in the ass creating every elementor's section and interpoling every product fields on it.

Since every product card section elementor are the same, I was looking for a plugin which could generate these and inserting correct ACF field on it once the ACF form has been completed. Does such a plugin exist ? otherwise should I search for another plugin stack to implement such a workflow or code it myself ?

best regardes!

This does not seem a default feature. It requires custom work in order to make it work and that's out of the scope of this topic .
You can hire a dev in the HAF section. There are plenty of good coders around BHW.

No questions at this time. Just to sincerely thank you for your valuable advice and wonderful contributions.

You're welcome man.

Sorry, this is the only suggestion I got for you atm. Some features require coding and I always encourage people to buy the original theme or plugin

Without the need of insert a piece of code, you can install this plugin and all external links will open in a _blank window:

Hmm, this sounds like a very specific feature - I know what you're trying to achieve but I think it cannot be done with existing solution. I think it shouldn't been taking too long to write this piece of code.

Hello. I'm new to WordPress theme development.

Hi @venee thanks for your question. Your problems seems to be related to the theme, which causes the blank page. My advice is to hire a developer and check the error_logs of your WP installation with WP_DEBUG enabled.
It shouldn't take too much I guess.

Thanx for your answer, I'll be writting the solution myself then. I have another question : It seems that we cannot insert ACF fields in tablepress table. Is there any existing solution (another plugin or anything ?)

What about using the ACF shortcodes to display a field value or field name?

Sorry this thread is related to WordPress and I am unable to answer questions about Ad-sense in detail in this thread
The Ad-sense theme is fully optimized for this kind of websites. It's shared for free in the download section.
