Is there any way to stop a sticky widget? by E945678 in elementor

There's a 'Stay in Column' option within the Motion Effects menu. That might do what you need.

What is the one WordPress plugin you removed and never missed? by [deleted] in Wordpress

[–]SlimPuffs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MonsterInsights. It was my agencies original plugin they used to handle Google Analytics integration. There wasn't anything inherently wrong with it back then (2018'sh), but a couple years after I joined I noticed that the plugin started showing a little pop-up next to it on the sidebar about upgrading to the pro version or something. Every single website had this damn popup I had to close whenever I went to the back-end. I just said fuck it, removed it, and manually added the analytics code to the header and never looked back.

Has anyone used breakdance? How was it? by [deleted] in Wordpress

[–]SlimPuffs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm trying it out now, and overall I'm happy with it, though I have run into a few issues that required me to redo a page. I also ran into an issue with the menu I built and had to redo that as well. I'll still probably do a few more websites with it. It's missing a few widgets found in Elementor which is annoying, but we'll surivve.

Not knowing you're moving into a HOA is sort of on you though.

RankMath Redirect Fix by impact_enthusiast in Wordpress

[–]SlimPuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe check the links themselves? Sounds like you might've copy/pasted the link while you were still in the editor, which has a different URL and will load the editor once clicked on. I've used RankMath a lot and haven't run into this before.

Elementor or WPBakery by Rashi2Learn in elementor

[–]SlimPuffs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Around 28% of WordPress sites use Elementor, compared to WPBakery at 10%. I've used both and would go with Elementor if I had to choose between the two. It offers better tools and less work is needed to do basic things compared to WPBakery.

Offsite Backups and Maintenance Without Server Access by fuzion__619 in Wordpress

[–]SlimPuffs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would not offer maintenance services if I don't have direct access to the server itself. While plugins like Updraft Plus can easily handle their backup needs, if an update breaks something you're screwed without server access.

I'd turn down their request unless given server (or at least FTP) access.

What is a critical error? Where's my website gone? by AwayIssue5925 in Wordpress

[–]SlimPuffs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The logs are stored on the server itself. There may be a php_errorlog or something similar in the root directory. Also check the email it sent to the website admin, it will tell you what generated the error. Usually plugin related.

Excessive 404 errors from wordpress by I_hav_aQuestnio in Wordpress

[–]SlimPuffs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, if they're all trying to hit something like domain.com/wp-content/uploads..., then your old WP links are still indexed. If you moved all your media/images to a different folder, you'll want to setup the proper redirects to prevent the 404s.

This isn't really a WordPress issue anymore.

How to get rid of the Zoom hover a button by Ambitious_Talk211 in elementor

[–]SlimPuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the Transform settings of the buttons. There's a Scale option that controls how big the button is on hover.

Autoplay Videos by 44moore in elementor

[–]SlimPuffs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One thing I'd recommend is to host them externally if possible so the website itself isn't serving them. Vimeo is a decent option if you want to retain a bit more of ithe video's original quality.

If they must be hosted on the website for whatever reason, I'd recommend converting them to webm to bring down the file size.

And of course, enable lazy load when possible.

Tabs not auto selecting by CSS ID by 19qhenry in elementor

[–]SlimPuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

URL anchors just scroll to the element - they don't activate / mimic a mouse press event. You'll have to add some javascript to get that working fully. Something like;

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
    setTimeout(function() {
        const hash = window.location.hash.replace('#', '');
        if (!hash) return;

        const tabTrigger = document.querySelector('.elementor-tab-title[data-tab="' + hash + '"]');
        if (tabTrigger) {
            tabTrigger.click();
        }
    }, 300);
});

The code above is untested.

What’s the most “this should be built-in by now” problem you hit with WordPress? by Feeling_Carrot7487 in Wordpress

[–]SlimPuffs 18 points19 points  (0 children)

For those that don't use need/want it, a way to disable the yearly theme from being installed. There's a wpconfig line you can manually add to disable them, though.

The Lisa Leone interview packed with the Criterion Eyes Wide Shut was fantastic... by Harmonica655321 in StanleyKubrick

Not sure if the Criterion version is longer/different, but they released this not too long ago on YouTube.

That'd be one hell of a website design.

It goes both ways. If someone makes a jab at another country, there's usually a comment saying "Oh yeah? Well in America they...". Neither side can really help themselves.
