Great advice overall, I hope the OP listens. Just a note about thenewboston though- his last published video was over 2 years ago now. While his most recent stuff focused on relevant topics for today (React, for example), it'll be outdated and may be tough to follow due to the sheer number of...

That's a shame. For a paid plugin, I'd expect better support. That said, he is right, it is only a warning. I think there's more going on that caused it to break your site. Typically production environments don't display PHP warnings; perhaps talk to your host about this.

No, very rarely will I leave my desktop on. My laptop is generally always on, but it goes into hibernation (sleep mode, or whatever it's called on OSX). But I'm pretty good about shutting the computer down at night these days. And being how quickly it boots up, there's really no reason not...

These days: JavaScript through and through. Most of what I develop now are React frontends, using APIs written in Node.js. And that's a growing trend in the industry... so much so that a lot of us have taken to jokingly calling ourselves JavaScript Developers, as that's what we're writing 90%...

Cheapest way possible? If you foot the work, you can maintain a website for under $75 per year; that's including the annual renewal fee of a .COM. And that's very, very easy to do. You could push it further if you need to, but the cheaper you go, the shadier the hosting situation. That's you...

NotAllenTuring is right, it's not a WordPress website. I don't see any obvious signs of it being based on any known CMS. The fact it's written using ASP.NET confirms that too, as there are few CMS platforms based on it to begin with. By all accounts, it seems to be a completely custom...

I feel like you've answered your own question, or at least know where this is going? If you can't find it pirated somewhere, and it's likely you won't given the sales volume, you're out of luck. Themes seldom go for more than $60; with such low sales volumes I'm guessing this one might be even...

Team Treehouse and PluralSight are two of my favorite learning resources. I've been writing JavaScript for some 17 years, and as a member on these sites, I've checked out their JavaScript content from time to time (or due to it being prerequisites for others). And I've been happy with both...

Let's say you could securely encrypt the source of the iframe. Then what? The user right clicks it and opens it in a new tab. Unencrypted URL, right in plain view. Or, let's say that's not possible. The user has an active connection to the source of the iframe. Either via their browser's...

Ease is very subjective, which makes this question nearly impossible to really answer. What are you looking to create, first of all? There are some objective metrics that make some languages easier than others. But it's hardly useful to get into that without knowing what you want to...

Was this plugin found in the WordPress Plugins directory? If so, can you check its page in the directory and see what major version it last supported? If it's 5.0+ (or even the high 4.x releases usually), then it's likely a plugin conflict rather than a broken plugin.

You can find a list of backward incompatible changes between PHP 7.2 and 7.3 on the PHP website (can't link it due to my post count). Generally, you'll find it's probably the HEREDOC change. At least that will be the most prevalent issue. But, as mentioned, we really cannot help you debug...

You've effectively covered what people write code to do... development applications (be it systems, web, mobile, etc.). Aside from teaching, you've literally covered the entirety of what programming has for deliverables. Those are very basic descriptions though. You could develop your own...

I can't speak on what occurs on this forum specifically, but I imagine customers here are like any other customers buying applications. And in that case, they won't care. They're after a functioning product, not a specific tech stack. Most probably won't even understand the tech stack, to...

With tech like React Native (and Flutter coming onto the scene) around these days, this is less of a concern. Still very valid, but we have more WORA (Write Once, Run Anywhere) options in the app space now than ever before. They may not be extensive enough to fulfill every need of the app, but...
