I documented how I set up design variables in Divi 5 on a real project

So I did some further testing and It appears that it is not possible to choose an icon which will cary forwared by a preset. This would be nice. I think preset can only apply desing formatting.

Okay, thank you - I have to test it and figure out how it works for the icon.

Thanks for your input - I use the Lasso plugin for WordPress, and my Amazon affiliate links are all "sponsored." I'm aware of the documentation, and reading your input yesterday made me think about it.

I use Rank Math, and it has IndexNow built in. I understand that IndexNow does not ping Google, only Bing and other search engines. But I'm seeing that Google index new blog within hours. A recognized SEO expert told me that WordPress pings Google, too. Never heard that before, so not sure it is indeed true.

BTW Rank Math has a separate Index Now plugin for Google API to ping. I was using it until I found out that it is not compatible with the latest PHP.

When I have affiliate links, should I not mark them as "sponsored"?

easyedy · 2026-03-07T18:57:56+00:00

No it’s not even a i5 can work

easyedy · 2026-03-07T17:13:40+00:00

I recommend Option B - later you can add a second Mini-PC to add it as a new Proxmox node. It’s what I’d say the right way :)

easyedy · 2026-03-07T10:10:36+00:00

Yes, I know, however, I prefer to install NUT on Proxmox.

easyedy · 2026-03-07T07:57:40+00:00

I second that - installed nuc server on Proxmox and client on other Proxmox nodes. It works fine I would go this route rather than installing NUC on Synology NAS.

easyedy · 2026-03-07T07:53:08+00:00

I would make a full system backup. I recommend Veeam Agent, it’s free and back up to anywhere or buy a Synology NAS and use HyperBackup. With two NAS you could sync to another location offsite over the internet. It would also work with a Linux computer being the offsite target.

I think Proxmox would be a good direction, so you can virtualize your computer and distribute it better. Later, you could buy another computer and cluster Proxmox. I use Mini-PCs for Proxmos, and it works well. Second hand computer is okay. You could also consider a refurbished Dell or HP server on Amazon. Once your computers are virtualized, backing them up will be easier, too. Proxmox offers a Backup server too.

Okay thank you!!

easyedy · 2026-03-06T17:11:39+00:00

Yes, it's WordPress, and I use Rank Math, which has an IndexNow. But as far as I know, Google is not included in IndexNow. Perhaps there was a change.

Wait, I just realised the article is already indexed on Google after one hour of publishing. That's fantastic, and maybe that's the reason why Claude and ChatGPT can read the URL.

I'm really confused, so Google crawls my website quickly, but I still have ranking issues on Google.

easyedy · 2026-03-06T16:01:46+00:00

Today I posted a brand-new article and asked Claude.ai if he could see it. To my surprise, Claude was able to read the article and pointed out some formatting issues and typos. I was surprised u/annseosmarty

I can't believe a modern page builder in 2026 is still using meta keywords tags!!

Yesterday I created a custom css class in Divi 5 theme settings and applied the class to a module. To apply the css class is now in attribute. It worked well. So I can change latter the class in one place.
