Hi,
The Block Editor will soon celebrate its first birthday in Core and with every update it grows more capable. The promise of the block editor is to give users the freedom to design and structure their sites as they see fit. The responsibility of a theme is to empower users to create their inspired vision by making the end result look as good, and work as well, as the user intended.

??

hey, I have been using your service and its great!
but I am a complete noob so, do you have any recommendation about Wordpress courses or learning material that doesn't rely on page builders (elementary, etc). everybody on youtube insists on using them. I know its what I should be using to start, but I want to learn to do it the SEO-friendly way.

Check out Udemy, these are offering free WordPress starter courses with in-depth explanations regarding building a WP from scratch.

First of all thanks for sharing wp themes and plugin here on bhw ... its really proving helpful to many of us. I would like to know if its safe to create my store and sell using the themes and plugin you have shared here ?

Yes, these are completely safe to use.

What's the best theme for making a beautiful website for a singer or rapper?

I love this theme:

Thank you so much for the answers. I learned so much by just reading you answering other's questions.

You're welcome man!

Hi @Festinger I got a question for you....
Is there such a plugin that can copy data being entered into a 3rd party contact form?


So as someone enters the data into a form it would copy the info and save it into a separate file or database...

Its for list building

What 3rd party form is this? Gravity Forms can be connected through Zapier and can be automated.

Hi mate,

Which theme would you recommend for canvas art?

I already suggested a theme a while ago for this?

#1 - What would you say is the best price point to sell on hosting to clients?
#2 - What is your personal favourite or most powerful plugin or theme?

1. This is not a WordPress related question
2. Most favorite plugin: Perfmatters & ShopKeeper theme.

I have a site with over 5000 posts and i would like to add images to each post but obviously I dont want to do it manually.

Is there any plugin that will bulk add related images from creative commons license sources that are seo optimized to posts?

I have a coupon site and use WP All Import to upload the coupons, The trouble I have is when it comes to categories many merchants use different variables to the category names. WP All Import has a mapping option but this doesn't seem to work. Is their any plugin you could recommend in mapping the categories so I have around 20 or so main categories instead of a couple of hundred?

Do you recommend implementing AMP to my website if I am not yet ready to pay for premium plugins and themes?
I tried doing it right but I keep facing more and more problems and for every of those problems there is paid solution
Maybe its possible to do it all of that for free but I didn't figured out it yet

Hello!
I want to sell two trainings on the topic of practical psychology. Previously, I created my own website in Adobe Muse. Now I want to go to Wordpress, but I don’t know him at all.
What theme WordPress can I choose for my theme? Is it enough two weeks to independently study WordPress and make a site myself or is it better to order a site from a freelancer?
What plugins may I need? And which one is the most convenient for accepting payments?
Where is the best way to purchase a domain and hosting for Wordpress?
Thank you in advance!

I would go for Schema Pro man, they will work perfectly along Yoast.

In terms of simplicity, you can go with Shopify, or if you want to do some learning, go with WordPress.

I have a site with over 5000 posts and i would like to add images to each post but obviously I dont want to do it manually.

Is there any plugin that will bulk add related images from creative commons license sources that are seo optimized to posts?

I doubt it, but this is what I find so far:
https://nl.wordpress.org/plugins/auto-upload-images/

WP All Import has a mapping option but this doesn't seem to work.

Have you installed the WP All Import Custom fields addon?

Focus on the basics first before using AMP

If it's related to trainings, you could consider LMS

Hi. Have learned a lot from your posts. I am making a quiz website using Wordpress and planning to restrict content access to paid members only by using a plugin like "simple membership plugin". I a have a few questions:

1) I am trying to achieve this workflow: a person comes to my website----->logs in------>makes payment----->gets access to content. What would be the best way to achieve this?
1) A bigger issue is integrating a payment gateway because the only options I see are stripe, PayPal, Braintree etc and my payment gateway is different from these. I have checked other membership plugins as well but all of them mostly integrate with PayPal or stripe. Some membership plugins offer woocommerce integrations but I think it will make the website resource heavy by adding woocommerce. So how do I integrate a payment gateway into a membership plugin without woocommerce integration?

1. Restrict Content Pro will be your best friend .
2. Restrict Content offers various payment options.

That's not possible without a custom plugin I'm afraid.

What do you think of building links on english websites but having only anchors in different languages? Does Google give penalties for this or its ok for SEO?

 

[JimHalpert]

Best customer chat app with auto-responder / email-gathering functions etc? Preferably compatible with Elementor.

If there is anything in your vault that meets these requirements, can you please let me know which one to look at?

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for coming forward to help us.

I have two questions to ask.

1. I have an woocommerce website. For every product i am writing one or two line of description. But when i check SEO score. it is giving me single digit scroe. But there is not much about write about each product. For example: Carrot. I dont have much about it. How to handle it to get better Search engine visibility.

2. Also we sell milk and products which people would be buying regularly. I am planning to add Subscription model for few products. Is there any plugin to do it?

Thanks in advance
