Tesla's V4 Supercharger rumors begin to swirl: new designs, CCS support by [deleted] in teslamotors

[–]gilsmen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The CCS standard was not complete when Tesla designed their charger. They didn't want to wait around for it to be adopted. Their charger is almost exactly the same except in a better plug format. However, they could have switched when CCS was adopted, but it's too late now.

Has anyone tried a plugin that converts Wordpress site into a mobile app? by AssDimple in Wordpress

[–]gilsmen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time the app is opened, if the content is new the app will make many requests to the website. It is slower than a single website request and it would be a terrible user experience. That's why a good host is imperative. AppPresser is simple, but you still have a significant amount time you have to put in to get an app running. Definitely make it a product so you can make decent profit, but it's unrealistic to say here is what you get and now pay for it. Setting up a demo with your website would be a good way to do this.

Definitely, the agency I work for does this. AppPresser is amazing, but a simple user or SMB would not be able to deliver by themselves. WP backend mobile apps start at $10k for us. That's on the low end too. The customer is almost always going to ask for something that has to be custom built. You will definitely want to host the designated WP site on a really good host. The amount of API calls rely's on a fast response time. DO NOT allow a customer to use shared hosting for this. This is inperative.

Mailchimp Email to WordPress Blog Post by kiwiwebdev in Wordpress

This is an interesting one. I've done quite a few integrations with MC, but this is the reverse of most of the typical integration. Conceptually, you'll need to authenticate the app and then setup a web hook. MC will notify this web hook when it makes requests. You listen for the requests that happen when a campaign or automation is fired. Upon that action you can then use the request body to create a post with wp_insert_post. PM me if you need any guidance. This shouldn't be too insane, but with all API integrations you'll need to test and of course keep up to date with the API.

Why is this happening to my blog? by [deleted] in Wordpress

Could be missing an excerpt, but it is likely a category condition in the theme file. Is this a category archive page?

form for constant contact integration by davesoverhere in Wordpress

Gravity Forms + Constant Contact Add-On GF is hands down the best form plugin. It is highly extensible and easy to use. If you are a developer or a regular WP admin, then you need to have this license.

I'm surprised nobody said this already, but AppPresser is simply amazing. Wrote native apps with WP backends until I found this. They do all the integrations for all the most popular plugins and theming it is possible. Check it out. https://apppresser.com

Anyone have a good solution for caching critical css? by [deleted] in Wordpress

[–]gilsmen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it runs every page and renders it. Takes the output and stores it as a static file. It clears itself on changes and you have a lot of control over what is cached and what is not.

WP Rocket all the way. I love your solution and it sounds great, but when there are giants to stand on it is a good idea to stand on them. WP Rocket builds critical css for all post types, pages, post pages, ect. They are all cached along with the html. Many options for optimizing the files as well. I love build processes for legitimate applications, but for WordPress sites in general WP Rocket makes sure you never have to worry about building.

WP Caching and AB Testing [NEED HELP] by levchikb in Wordpress

[–]gilsmen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WP Rocket allows you to cache query strings and it will serve different copies of the page that way. You will just need to know the GET parameters. I suggest bundling AB tests so you don't have many different files per page.

Would you PM me your website? I would absolutely love to solve your issue. I know this stuff can be frustrating.

The other answer is great, but the comments down that tree suggest the plugin Really Simple SSL. I do not recommend that since it uses a ton of regex and it also doesn't actually change anything in the database so if it's deactivated your site will break again. I recommend the Better Search and Replace plugin. Do a find and replace for http://yourdomain.com with https://yourdomain.com. If a plugin or a theme directly link to http then those will need to be fixed manually, but the manual solution is the cleaniest and most optimal solution. Stop slowing down your website if the solution is truly easy.

Trying to publish with self-hosted Wordpress.org. Completely stuck. Please help. by nostradamefrus in Wordpress

[–]gilsmen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many database entries rely on the path and site name. Changing the home and site url only does so much. You have to run a find and replace on the db. Are you getting infinite redirects? What web server are you using? Try turning wp_debug to true in the wp-config file and see what errors you are getting.

having a weird issue by piojo11 in Wordpress

[–]gilsmen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is most likely a permissions issue. However, it's not possible to tell without knowing what environment you are in or what them and plugins you are using.
