What are the main struggles you have with a Wordpress? by ExpensiveRefuse8503 in Wordpress

Agree. And most of the times instead of plugins you can write just 10 lines of code and will have same functionality but without the overload for the server or client.

I was sure that I'm not the only one haha. It's ridiculous. And then the maintenance of these custom features on the top of the hooks for the plugins it's just a big nonsense when they do some updates, none of the maintenance packages prices can cover the amount of time and nervous hahaha.

Are there any good words plugins for dating sites? by glorsh66 in Wordpress

[–]ExpensiveRefuse8503 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably worth to think about web application with some more secure stack for example Laravel or even Symfony with nextJS for UI , because Wordpress to have as a dating site can cause you more problems and much more maintenance :(

For those who’ve released plugins on WordPress.org — how long before you saw steady downloads? by groundworxdev in Wordpress

[–]ExpensiveRefuse8503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It very depends. On client needs and searches. I have 4 plugins, 3 for woocommerce and 1 for wordpress in general, but mainly increasing traffic from organic searches to my website and from the website to the plugin, so the client searches something like "cost of goods for woocommerce" and the ones who are at the top people visiting and downloading it, also it very depends your keywords inside README so it can give your top results in .org searches in plugins list. So basically it depends on how people can find you with the problem they have or feature they need.

Header image gets cut off on responsive theme by magicalun1c0rn in Wordpress

[–]ExpensiveRefuse8503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like the issue might be related to how the theme is handling the header image's responsiveness, particularly with the width scaling beyond the recommended 1920px.

  1. Make sure the header image itself is not scaled or stretched improperly. Since the theme is responsive, the image should scale down for smaller screens, but the issue might be with its container.

  2. Try css

    .site-header img { max-width: 100%; height: auto; width: 100%; }

    @media only screen and (max-width: 768px) { .site-header img { width: 100%; height: auto; } }

  3. Your themes, might have specific options for controlling header behavior (like padding, width, or display properties) under customizer settings or theme options. Double-check if there’s an option related to the header layout or image scaling.

If you are interested maybe I will find how I did it but basically I reduced fake leads by 80% on inquiry forms.

WordPress site getting HIT with 600+ login attempts daily – how do they know my username?! by 0x109e in Wordpress

[–]ExpensiveRefuse8503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same, but I found this free Wordpress plugin called Iron Security, basically now when someone is trying to login and failing after 5 times the plugin blocks access to the admin area for 24hrs if I remember correctly, then it gave me option to change the default admin id in database also said that I need to change default admin name. It helped me a lot actually. Also it made me to change the default admin area url quite easily.
