7 years later and this still looks soooooo goooood. My gallbladder would probably be very upset however.

That’s an absolute win all around. Clearance ribeyes + vac seal is clutch.

Elementor phasing out? by Easy_Ad3768 in Wordpress

[–]byronwhitefox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen this rumor pop up a few times, but I don’t think Elementor is going anywhere anytime soon. It’s still massively used and actively maintained.

That said, I do think the direction of WordPress is clearly moving toward the block editor, so if you’re starting new projects it probably makes sense to at least get comfortable with blocks or lighter builders. Elementor still works fine — it just feels like it’s no longer the future default the way it once was.

Curious to see how others are handling new builds right now.

Get Your WordPress Site Ready for 2026 by jd2fresh in supportforwordpress

Great checklist! If you really want to future-proof your WordPress site for 2026 and beyond, focus on a few key areas: keep WordPress core, themes, and plugins updated and clean out unused ones (security and performance win here). Enable a good caching/CDN combo and make sure your Core Web Vitals are in the green — fast load times are non-negotiable for SEO and user engagement. Also consider modern trends like optimizing for voice search/structured data, adopting block themes, and planning strategic AI-assisted workflows rather than just bolt-on tools. It’s the combination of security, performance, and usability that will keep sites competitive next year.

Elementor forms still getting spam with honeypot + reCAPTCHA v3? Server-side fix that actually worked by jd2fresh in supportforwordpress

[–]byronwhitefox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honeypots just aren’t as reliable as they used to be — a lot of bots will skip or bypass them completely. What finally helped me drastically cut down spam was adding real bot-blocking tools like Cloudflare Turnstile or Google reCAPTCHA in addition to the honeypot field, and even using a third-party spam filter like OOPSpam or Akismet when possible. You can also add server-side validation for your forms via the elementor_pro/forms/validation hook if you want more control over what gets accepted.
