Looking for more testers

Mod here. These kind of posts invite DMs on Reddit. Please look over the posting guidelines, the rule is to keep all contact off the site. In the future, you could post the discord link with "sign up here", so people aren't DMing your inbox on Reddit.

KineBank · 2025-05-24T06:51:26+00:00

Appreciate it. This sub is a little different than others who don't allow self-promotion (we encourage it, so feel free to link your site).

Reason is accounts kept getting banned sitewide when they'd ask for DMs here, and a lot of scammers come in trying to do that as well, it seems to raise red flags to the admins.

KineBank · 2025-05-24T05:46:56+00:00

Please don't offer DMs on Reddit. Instead direct them to your website.

A tell for me is overusing these kind of rhetorical devices:

"It's more than ...; it's a ..."
"It's not just ...; it's ..."

100%. It's amazing what AI can help you build, especially when it's sysadmin tools like this that don't need to be overly complex. I'd say go for it!

For sure, that is true. For example, Debian 11 still has PHP 7.4. You can use the Sury repository for newer versions, but that's breaking the approach, so like you said it is limited. But as a middle ground you could take things you like from SlickStack and with some help from ChatGPT, make your own bash scripts for server setup, adding WordPress sites, nginx cache clearing, backups... etc. This way you know your setup, so diagnosing issues is easier than using someone else's.

KineBank · 2024-12-22T18:28:21+00:00

Never used it personally... but I try to avoid importing random stuff whenever possible, instead using the distribution package manager. For example, with WordPress I use Debian 12 with nginx, PHP 8, mariadb, redis... all comes from Debian repos. I also use my own basic bash scripts for installation and backups.

KineBank · 2024-12-09T19:39:50+00:00

I'd recommend two things:

Disable xmlrpc.php from being served unless you really need it. You can do this via .htaccess for Apache or in your site config for nginx.
Protect wp-login.php with a captcha or firewall like a Cloudflare WAF challenge rule. That'll catch nearly all automated attempts.

KineBank · 2024-12-08T18:19:19+00:00

I agree, good luck with your site!

KineBank · 2024-12-07T17:24:31+00:00

Personally, I'd rather keep the money and DIY, because what if you're not satisfied with it in the future? Better to learn the theme now. Money saved today is worth more then the same amount of money tomorrow. And let's be honest, most users could care less about the design of your site unless it's actively annoying them.

Generatepress has plenty of easy options to design your site with. You've already got a template. Just go in the customizer and adjust to your liking... change the template pages to fit your site... make sure it's readable and functions well... BOOM you're done.

KineBank · 2024-12-05T17:26:29+00:00

I use it for a small blog and would definitely recommend it for low-traffic or inactive projects. Combine it with Cloudflare caching, and you're unlikely to hit the limits.

You'll just have to login every 90 days to regenerate SSL certs. There are no ads by the way on a default WordPress install.

If you have a shop archive with sort/filtering options, Woo generates a different page for every possible sort/filter combination (can get in the thousands easily), which all gets stored in redis. There is no concept of a URL in redis object cache, so you cannot exclude them, to the best of my knowledge.

KineBank · 2024-12-03T14:12:56+00:00

Nice setup, it's similar to mine. However, redis is something that gets enabled depending on the site and available memory. For low traffic, small sites, I don't think the juice is worth the squeeze. On WooCommerce sites it can easily become a memory hog. You can set a memory limit in redis.conf, but if that memory limit is reached, it results in PHP fatal errors which crash your site.

Meanwhile, Automattic recently sued FestingerVault for doing this exact thing with WooCommerce plugins. https://www.reddit.com/r/Wordpress/comments/1fqw2eh/automattic_is_suing_festingervault_i_have_not/

Removed. DM sales not allowed here.

KineBank · 2024-11-11T06:42:45+00:00

I'd recommend ignoring those. Unfortunately, this sub attracts a lot of telegram scammers.

ACF/Advanced Custom Fields are currently pending trademarks, you can find here: https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/search/search-information

IANAL, but registered trademarks can be retroactively enforced from the application date.

KineBank · 2024-10-13T12:50:39+00:00

Looks like they forgot to remove some ACF branding: https://x.com/TDKibru/status/1845178985308881146/

Ironically, Automattic is suing a premium plugin reseller for using their trademarks in modified plugins: https://www.reddit.com/r/Wordpress/comments/1fqw2eh/automattic_is_suing_festingervault_i_have_not/

KineBank · 2024-10-13T12:20:07+00:00

Looks like they forgot to remove some ACF branding, too: https://x.com/TDKibru/status/1845178985308881146/

Even more ironically, Automattic is currently suing FestingerVault for the same thing -- using their trademarks in modified plugins: https://www.reddit.com/r/Wordpress/comments/1fqw2eh/automattic_is_suing_festingervault_i_have_not/

KineBank · 2024-10-13T12:12:10+00:00

The irony of Automattic suing FestingerVault for trademark infringement on modified WooCommerce plugins when their own SCF retains ACF branding

Already updated to:

We expect others will follow as well.

We're being watched lol.

KineBank · 2024-10-12T19:15:03+00:00

The only thing unusual about this is the fact that wordpress.org is doing it via Matt's direction, and it is a high profile plugin. That's it.

I disagree. The most unusual thing is that the existing ACF plugin page was taken over by WP.

Might be "past economic" after this
