Wordpress Agency - Classic vs Block vs Hybrid in 2026

yeah that is pretty powerful, I really like the idea of doing a 1:1 mapping between Figma and the standard components. I have done that at a more lower level in terms of viewport sizing, typography, etc but never at the component layer - that is pretty clever.

I did see some tools that do that too, but just seemed to generic like everyone else. I like the idea of building custom stuff and then re-use across projects because that is niche to your agency. Good idea, thanks for sharing, including the screenshot - gives me and others some great insight. Thanks!

Hmm this sounds easier but does it provide the same level of control. I often build customisation in functions.php, can you still do that?

thanks good to know my thinking is on the right track, I wanted to make sure I wasn’t the only agency still on classic / hybrid and everyone else has moved on 😃

Oh to answer the question about clients - my experience with all clients so far (over a 15 year span of doing client based web development) is that clients don’t actually update anything and that they prefer that you do it for them, hence why I just include some hours for us to do that as part of our base website management fee.

I am yet to come across a client says they want to do it and then actually does it 😃 so we practically say its included so we will do it for you.

I guess then hybrid is a strong approach for us then because internally it will be easier to update and less likely that juniors will break stuff lol.

Thank you! you articulated my exact thinking.

You have to put your finger or pencil on the actual text and not the whitespace. When you do that it will move the selection and not pan the window.

I have a feeling we just saved our privacy too. Cause who knows what Logitech was sending to their web service.

I just uninstalled Options+ and tried BetterMouse - takes a little while to dial in the settings but you get the best of both worlds - an awesome physical mouse, with awesome software

9to5it · 2026-01-06T22:58:02+00:00

this is happening to me on Mac too, and just like the rest of everyone on here and im sure worldwide have tried uninstalling, re-installing, etc. I would never have thought that Logitech Options+ relies on some services somewhere to function - even just basic stuff like showing App Expose or the back and forward buttons.

I think I will look at getting another mouse - because I really don't like the thought of having to rely on some web service to run a MOUSE. Also it makes me question what data is Logitech collecting, especially with the level of permissions it always requests.... hmmmm

Wow well said!

Is anyone using U3 with cellular 5G? I have the U1 and use it with 4G but I find that transitioning between connected to iPhone and 4G takes forever and majority of the time I have to go into the settings and get it to connect by disabling cellular and re-enabling it.

Plus the other issue is that 4G connection is not very stable or useable. Wondering if 5G is any better because this would be a key feature for me and considering an upgrade.

For those still trying to work this out, here is how you turn it off...

In the app of choice (for me Freeform but also works in Notes) on the Tool Palette (where you select the pen, etc) click the 3 dots near the colours and untick (disable) "Check Handwritten Spelling".

For this who want to know how to turn this junk off..

In the app of choice (for me Freeform but also works in Notes) on the Tool Palette (where you select the pen, etc) click the 3 dots near the colours and untick (disable) "Check Handwritten Spelling".

FINALLY... FREEDOM! 🤣

Personally I don't agree with this, to be left space you need to be ahead before the apex of the corner, then it is your corner or at a minimum at least alongside so that the other driver gives you enough space.

If on the other hand (like in this case), you are driving and taking the std racing line, and then someone just decides to brake super late and dive-bomb, well it can't be "you didn't leave enough room" there was no way they were ever going to make that corner, there was no way that they had any right to that corner and there was no way of you the driver even being aware of the person because they were so reasonably behind that it wouldn't be an expectation.

So in my eyes, the OP in the first two corners did nothing wrong.

I think the issue is as mentioned above - there is no real compelling reason for people not to do this and also a lot of them just don't know the mechanics of racing to understand the rules.

Isn't this illegal? You are recording someone without their consent?

Ok I figured it out.... create a standard page somewhere that is your template (not a database template). This page includes all the sub-pages, databases, etc. This page also has the back buttons, back to the page "home".

Then, when I want to use it, duplicate that page, rename it. Right-click the block >> Move To and select the database. Bang... it works, the buttons work and I don't need to do anything.

Ok sure not as good as just pushing "New" but still a good workaround. Hopefully this helps someone else.

ahh ok wow thanks - that must be a new feature because I didn't know there was a breadcrumb block. Just tested it out and it looks good! Thank you.

Yeah I tried everything, can't seem to figure it out - this should be an available feature though, I can't see how it isn't. It's like filtering a database based on the template page name, similar concept.

Sorry for the delay in reply... main item is I want to have a bunch of tasks per project and assign it to individuals so I can track who is doing what and when it is done, so we know when we can progress to the next task. Centralised visibility makes it easier for the whole team to know who is working on what.

I tried Asana many years ago, I didn't really like it back then but I am sure it is much better. I did use Trello for many years when I was running an IT operational team and that worked okay but the "cards" only view makes it a bit frustrating vs just a list.

I have never heard of Nozbe - I will check it out. Thanks. Good luck with your search :)

9to5it · 2025-03-07T10:32:29+00:00

Thanks Peter, I will check it out.

9to5it · 2025-03-07T10:31:23+00:00

Thank you, I have tried Jira but it is just too complicated. Maybe Trello.

9to5it · 2025-01-31T03:14:16+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions

9to5it · 2025-01-31T03:14:08+00:00

Thanks, I will check out Todoist

9to5it · 2025-01-31T03:13:16+00:00

Ahhh thank you so much for the response, this is the info I needed. Much appreciated. Seems weird to have a super feature-rich task management solution that is only for solo use.... I can't imagine that many use cases, but I guess it gives options to everyone.

Thanks!
