I’m experiencing an issue where I can’t delete media folders. I’m able to delete the images inside the folder though.

Are you familiair with this issue? I’m using filebird.

You have to CHMOD the maps probably in order to remove the map.

GeneratePress theme vs Asta. Which is faster and better coded theme.

I prefer GeneratePress.

I've read a few places here that the predicted prime factor for SEO in 2020 will be site speed, which themes and plugins would you recommend with this in mind?

WP Rocket with GeneratePress or Divi theme. Depending on your niche.

Hi @Festinger ,
There's a Woo-commerce site and I want to copy/list all of it's products to my site, is there a quick way around, like a plug-in or manual listing is the only way?

Kindly let me know

You'll have to scrape the website manually (or do it through a Fiverr gig - there are many good scrapers on Fiverr for just $5.
And import them using WP ALL import.

Hi @Festinger , thank you

My site recently stopped showing my flavicon in search. I’ve tried to re uploading in site identify but nothing. Any options I need to look at?

Thanks in advance.

It will take some time to get your new favicon indexed in Google.

@Festinger Do you have any experience with any heatmap plugin to track user activity?
Looking it up and the free one (https://wordpress.org/plugins/heatmap-for-wp) seems to have bugs without fixes.

Can you recommend any WordPress plugin to convert website to mobile app?

I have used this plugin for a while but it's not ideal IMHO. Very limited and don't work often. My advice would be: https://www.hotjar.com/

Hello there @Festinger

I have one concern about mythemeshop Socially viral pro theme. Actually, in the demo theme, The homepage looks good but when I activate it to my site, the thumbnail size of the homepage doesn't remain the same. Some posts thumbnail are big and some small. I tried resizing the images still the problem persists in a socially viral pro theme. I searched all over the internet but didn't found any solution. Do you know anything specific about how to make all the thumbnail on homepage equal size?

Here is what I found here in BHW, but no solution yet. https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/please-help-sociallyviral-pro-thumbnail-size.1203980/

Thanks!

I tried installing Local by Flywheel and it returns an error about access in hosts file, I tried fixing it by following steps I saw in google. But didn't work. Tried also Xampp but it also returns an error.

Can you suggest a local way of using Wordpress?

Wordpress Tidio question:

I have two sites running with Tidio, although, only one receives push notifications.

Is there any way to receive push notifications from both sites? Or should I use two different livechats?

This is on mobile btw.

I have facing this issue since last many days (or since I install AMP plugin)
The problem is showing in Google Console is "The author stylesheet specified in tag 'style amp-custom' is too long - the limit is 75000 bytes."
I tried to figure out the problem, I got to know that WP Review is the culprit.

How I can solve this problem without removing the WP Review Plugin?

This can be done using a theme in combination with WP Job Manager.

Two sites on different domains? I have used Tidio too in the past - you can contact their support team as they are really supportive.

You can't, as it seems to be a problem related to the core of WP Review plugin.

Hey there, thank you for giving back to the community.
I have 2 questions
1. If we use nulled themes/plugins is there any fact that these coders can get access to website data as admin. IF yes how we can scan for that vulnerability.
2. What plugin you will advice for live chat possibly with mobile app. I don't want to pay monthly bills for that.

[ATuringtest]

@Festinger - is there a good theme or plugin for affiliate landing page creation ?

 

[Kilroy_01]

This can be done using a theme in
Why can external crons not be used?

Because the plugin should be able to run on a shared hosting server without CPanel or any kind of administration console.
By the way, I found out a solution using add_action() and wp_loaded hook. I'm just thinking if this hook is the best one to be used.
