I kind of think shortcodes came out of Livejournal culture. Bloggers and LJers and hardcore forum users are all about shortcodes and BBCodes and even Markdown in some cases.
-
@briannaorg Oh interesting.
-
@jasontucker You are right. the layout is the most difficult part
-
zengarden!
-
but we have been promising way simpler content editing for such a long time, we’ve created a whole suite of expectations for users that we fall short on when we introduce them to the standard editor in the WordPress dashboard
-
@jamesmaabadi It’s how I built my first CSS site.
-
I think that’s why SquareSpace is gaining so much traction. The Customizer looks just like the SquareSpace editor but there’s all this other crap you have to do to get a page built.
-
I’m not visual. Div tags were my nemesis.
-
nice, i used to be amazed by that site and what css could do
-
SlapOnSomeCSS.com is available. I’m gonna make it a random CSS generator for Jason’s websites
-
@jasontucker tableless layouts was the huge transition that took out alot of web designers.
-
@VeriousSmithIII totally was!
-
@royboy789 that would be cool. lol!
-
@royboy789 thanks homie
-
good evening to all
-
@Cape_Dave good evening.
-
@adamkobs Yes you can.
-
How much is wordpress per month and does someone have an example of that
-
yes, there’s a few solutions, s2Member is the one i know of
-
@adamkobs WordPress.org is a free software under GPL
-
@royboy789 totally!
-
@jasontucker you are arguing my point.. Page Builders can make things TOO complex for a client
-
DOes anyone have an example of the membership feature
-
Some great info here on memberships https://chrislema.com/memberships-plugins/
-
@Cape_Dave Thanks, Dave. That’s what we would have recommended, too.
-
@royboy789 page builders introduce another layer of complexity.
-
I have a humble little site here capelearnwp.com
-
@Cape_Dave, that’s a neat site
-
@Cape_Dave It’s really cute, Cape Dave.
-
But have you thought of putting an image of yourself or putting a 1-2 minute video “sample?”
-
@VeriousSmithIII I agree.. which is why I think sometimes.. it just doesn’t work. A client needs a certain amount of knowledge base to even use a Page Builder
-
@VeriousSmithIII oh wow
-
Yeah so you literally need to train the client on two systems: The page builder & WordPress.
-
@ListingVideosLA abandon Joomla.
-
True.
-
Grrr…I am struggling with Joomla
-
Yes, that always seems to be true no matter what. Learn WP plus other things. Gravity Forms, Beaver, Woo, etc.
-
@ListingVideosLA AWW
-
@ListingVideosLA abandon Joomla.
-
hello
-
I find WP All in One Migration the easiest to backup and restore. By far.
-
Restore is definitely KEY 馃檪
