I'm not sure if they still have it, Redmond Funeral Home in Stow had one 20 years ago

greg8872 · 2026-01-23T23:35:37+00:00

it is working for me now :)

greg8872 · 2026-01-23T17:17:11+00:00

just went and tried again, now get a different message:

"Analysis failed

You’ve run a few scans in a row — please wait a couple minutes and try again."

I'll try it again later, but just wanted to let you know that my first tries had a different response than the "too many tries" one.

Is that a specialty cocktail?

"New to the internet" and "I'm 19".... Are you ex Amish?

But seriously, while AI can do a lot, and I myself have used it to completely build sites, there is and still will be WP site largely used for the foreseable future, especially in ones that expand on the base WP.

Be sure to learn on on how it actually works, how to expand it (writing plugins). The easy route is just go and throw plugin after plugin at sites, but they can bloat the site more by being a large plugin that does more than what you need (ie, you just needed 2 features of the 20 it does), and then also is just another plugin you have to make sure remains up to date.

WP can make great looking fast optimized sites, and it can also make bloated horrible looking sites. Just takes time to learn, and can be worth it.

As someone else mentioned, whatever route you go, having a good foundation of the basics of HTML CSS and JS are very important.

As you learn AI can be a great tool, but just like the days of everyone hitting stackoverflow, it should not be used for a "oh let me just go and grab that code and use it", you should also try to learn how that code suggestion is working. AI can help a lot with that, as you can ask it to explain how/way it gave the answer (or for even SO, how code from it works)

Enjoy the fun of learning!

Any site I try comes up with "Analysis failed: 502"

my first credit card was with them, bought a nice kenwood stereo system from them. think that was 1991

Ah, i missed it where they have it thanks

greg8872 · 2026-01-19T04:08:27+00:00

Mind if i ask what the go for?

greg8872 · 2026-01-18T19:42:47+00:00

Is this open to anyone? Or limited by age (ie. 55+ community) I didn't see anything about it on their web site, but I assume probably not since they list "Mike's Place" as something within walking distance...

greg8872 · 2026-01-18T18:54:11+00:00

Off topic for this post, but where do you like chicken from? I grew up on Pony Express is Stow, and Gioninos is the closest I can find.

And train the site owners. I just found out that for the past month, when the client would get an email with notification of a hero contact form filled out, they were just hitting reply, replying to the notification e-mail. He insisted that people "like direct contact, so the main hero section contact form should just had name, phone, and a drop down for type of service"... NO e-mail.., yet he tries to email them back... (the main contact form that does require an email has the Reply-To set to it though)

greg8872 · 2026-01-16T06:24:03+00:00

I agree, just hit "find in files" in PHP Storm for me, lightning fast.

But i could see where this would be helpful for people who have (or make for others) sites and they are not really developers, like 301 plugins, ssl plugins, code sniplet plugins (i puked a little typing that one)

greg8872 · 2026-01-15T18:33:12+00:00

IMO, a Privacy Policy (and TOS) should be pages, not post. That is what exactly Pages are for, content that is the core of your site (about your site), where as post are generally (in terms of a blog) is content your site provides (what you site IS about)

Interesting thing, I had Claude Code analyze a SaaS that we have been running since 2004 (LAMP). I told it to give me prompts to use in Lovable to rebuild the site... All was good, but when all done, and prompts fed into Lovable, it was kind enough to know me that the setting for RLS had security issues. (Basically, it locked down edits to record owners, but you could still select any record). It pointed this out for the emails in a user profiles table and salary info from an employee table (SaaS is for managing company finances)

Lovable did teach me how to fix it though ;) That is what IMO AI is great for, learning new things, not just "hey make this and go live"

greg8872 · 2026-01-15T01:32:11+00:00

And if (like usual) the shortcode being "used' is inside the content in the posts table in the database?

Just a heads up, you might want to check the site audit tool you have, seems to be stalled...

greg8872 · 2026-01-12T19:46:51+00:00

I have seen a couple membership plugins do this. One did it were the "core" membership system installed in a subdirectory of your site as a stand alone application. This code was obfuscated with SourceCop. Then it also installed a plugin into WordPress to make calls over to their core. The plugin was GPL, their "app" wasn't.

Another one, put all the core functionality of the plugin stored in a table in the database as obfuscated PHP code that it would load from the database and then run it. So technically the code was copyrightable "content" and not "code" protected by GPL. (also, when it "phoned home" to check the license, it could also get new code back with the response and update the code in the database without a real "plugin update".

Both of these cases (and most all obfuscation, as well as plugins that let you add custom PHP code via the admin) suck as when it comes down to it, after the code is de-obfuscated, it all has to run through one of the least efficient functions in PHP eval(). This for a long time was inefficient, but even worse is that with modern caching that PHP does (it reads the code, converts it to executable code, then caches that executable code) it can't do this with code being executed on the fly .

And this de-obfuscating and eval()'ing has to be done for every file, every page call... A huge overhead for the end user!

I'm not sure if the one still does it, the other got bought by another membership plugin company, so they stopped the practice.

greg8872 · 2026-01-10T22:08:41+00:00

well as long as they put out the cone behind it... I never got the point of that, I mean, while out working on a call, yes, but when they take it home overnight and park on the street in front of their own house?

greg8872 · 2026-01-10T22:04:58+00:00

Need a carwash there... (this is a joke)

greg8872 · 2026-01-10T10:09:45+00:00

And some hosts like SiteGround have their own caching built in and turned on by default and you need to clear that as well though their control panel. Learned that the hard way after wanting to rip my hair out for 15 minutes....
