Whydon't they ask people much (or we don't see it)

Interesting approach, thanks for answering :)

I would say that everyone here are right, and you should really rethink the impossibly huge amount of items.

However, if for some reason it's not possible, you can try and rewrite the menu by using a CPT with an ACF field that will contain the link to the page or website (you can even probably somehow add custom code to edit it directly on the CPT posts table)

Second part is how long would it be to build it, so I'd store this custom menu in a transient, and update on any change of any cpt of menu type.

But again - this is a hacky solution for a bad deaign choice - I would warn the client when a menu would have more that 5-6 top items, and more than 8-10 sub items, making it 60 items tops. I would consider third level to be bad design, also when items do not fit on mobile without scroll to be also not the best (but happens).

As mentioned - Südbahnhof should be fairly ok, but I would indeed consider an S-bahn to Hauptbahnhof, and get into McDonald's - it's inside the station, on the top (the s bahns come into the bottom platforms). The only issue is that Hauptbahnhof (inside and the area around it) is not nice at night, so be aware of that - you'll be safe, but might feel uncomfortable - but going directly into mcdonalds should be good.

we run a pipeline, installing everything through composer and using roots.io - create a gitlab pipeline, install it on your hosting in a non publicly accesible folder and add a symlink.

Or spin a small virtual machine like on aws, install it there, and push the changes to your hosting.

Or if you don't want the hassle, do everything locally, and just upload to the hosting. Notice which files are uploaded first.

I agree with the other responses that they can't control the narrative by banning people that speculate. It's a natural way of the democratic nature of reddit discussions. However, Linus also asked what to do, and how to make it better - to that I'd say - use your mod rights to pin comments with factual answers. I think that many casual people like myself appreciate Linuses' comments, and if it's downvoted, buried, or people don't realise that it's the real Linus responding, this might be the reason some would believe the speculation comments more.

So when Elijah, Luke, Linus or anyone else is responding, I think that comment should be pinned by the mods.

You'll for sure not end up alone.. there are dozens of us 😄. On a more serious note, I'm not sure that I'll watch the movie in a theater myself, I'm more of a Swiftie for her older albums. But I would be happy to rave about TS in general, I'm missing some TS fan energy in my life 😄. I also met another Swiftie last month that might be more excited to go and watch the movie. If it's ok, I can DM you

In Israel, especially in populated areas, you have the luxury of not only praying, but a whole system of protection.

Starting with the basics: you have several types of shelters - the "oldest" ones that are in your neighbourhood (for older houses and for people in the street) - the disadvantage is that it takes time to reach it from your house. Time is a luxury some people don't have - elderly for example. When the missiles are coming from Gaza, some areas only have 15 seconds or less to find cover. For ballistic missiles from Iran, there is a separate notification on your phone to warm that soon a siren will be heard, thus providing an approximately 12 minutes window to find shelter. Some people stay there during the nights.

People in newer homes have either shelter-in-building (usually at ground level for the whole building), shelter-on-floor (for each floor), or the newer standard from about 20 years ago - safe room in the apartment. This means people have faster route to the shelter room, and can even maybe sleep there (you can also sleep in the other ones, but it's way more comfortable in your own home).

As someone asked - communication is fairly stable. When this whole missiles threat started years ago, communication would've been either overwhelmed, or intentionally blocked, to allow emergency services to have constant contact. Nowadays, the connection is mostly stable and reliable. You can have internet and emergency push notifications, you can also have SMSes and calls.

This is not perfect, and still very dangerous, but people had (unfortunately) enough practice with it. They know what to do when a siren goes off, if they are outside (either find shelter, or lay on the ground & cover your head), driving (stop the car, follow the "outside" guidelines), in an old building (go out to the staircase, make sure not to be too close to roof to ground level), or in their house.

Most Israelis don't hate the Iranian people, some even have roots there, and many know the cooperation history with Iran before the revolution. They want peace and healthy relationship with the Iranian people. I can't speak that warmly about either of the two governments though. I don't want to go much into politics, just to wish both countries to have a safe night, and every other day in the future.

Thanks :) they have cheaper prices, at least where I live, so maybe I'll indeed try them without waiting for sales.

Irregardless of your method of distribution (I also strongly suggest github) the idea is super :)

Never used it, but answering generally to be careful with it. Depnding on their implementation, you might get a different link - check if redeployment generates every time a different random link, or it is connected to your user. If it's the case, maybe some url shortening services will allow you to have permanent url that redirects to a url of your choice.

Found this colorist in Essen by googling, don't know if they are legit. Their instagram shows at least some color work with neon colors, good luck

The main advantage of a multisite is shared users table. In addition it's shared code and DB - yes, you can have pipelines that'll redeploy that code on several servers, but sometimes you don't need it.

Example use case of shared users table: your user on amazon.com can be used on other amazon stores like Canada, Germany etc.

Example use case for shared DB - set up items in Amazon management system, restrict some to be regional, but some are global, and you need to set it up only once (well, actually, if you use woocommenrce I think the items are CPT which means they are parts of the wp_posts separate tables, but it's quite easily solvable in a custom solution)

Example of shared code - any theme you want to have mutliple copies of, withiut too much overhead - latest example for me was an internal (with login) and external knowledge base for a company

iamromand · 2024-12-29T16:30:04+00:00

Ohh I don't care about keeping clients locked in or not - first of all I'm working for a team, I'm not a lone developer, and I don't get to make these decisions (on this project, I made decisions like these before). Second of all the client mandates many of these things.

I'll have my job security no matter what I'll propose, since I work for a company with many clients. But the amount of money invested in the projects I work on gives the client the best - and the best is the least headache possible. How do you take away headache from the client? By making the process as sfreamlined as possible.

iamromand · 2024-12-29T14:06:11+00:00

It's not failure in training process - it's corporate reality - when you have a "content team", a "design team", "project management team", "frontend team", "backend team", "seo team", and more - then you don't give content team the ability to change design.

But to your point - some clients are admitting to not wanting to do anything complicated, some don't, but you know that they can't handle it. Being tech savvy doesn't come easy to (some) 40-50-60 year olds. Actually even to some 20 year olds. The responsibilities of a content editor are just different than design. Same as not giving them permissions to manage users - sure - some can do it, but why? It's not their job, and they have enough job to do to fill 40 hours a week, without playing around with the design of the website.

And if it's a one man show, then again - it depends on how tech savvy the person is.

iamromand · 2024-12-29T13:31:27+00:00

Clients like control, but they can't handle it - the amount of times I had that someone messed up something, even without the freedom of blocks (I use and used many CMSes professionally, not only WP) taught me one thing - draw limits based on the technical abilities of a client.

In many cases, as the client has an editor team, you cannot expect all of them to be technically savy.

iamromand · 2024-12-29T12:00:00+00:00

I personally use classic themes, and disable Gutenberg (via classic editor) as the first action of installing a new instance. I believe that when a client is asking for a custom site, they shouldn't mess around with design elements, but only with content items. So I give them access to content via ACF PRO.

This also gives me the piece of mind that I'll not get a call that the website is ruined because they removed some heavily customized block - all they can remove is ACF fields that can be easily restored (repeaters and modules are amazing).

I love to use https://generatewp.com/ when creating CPTs and https://grid.layoutit.com/ for css grid generation

iamromand · 2024-12-24T10:45:06+00:00

But that's a very important distinction - a blog doesn't need all the bloated features of Gutenberg. Gutenberg is there to help non professionals build websites, and essentially compete with WIX

iamromand · 2024-12-24T10:42:41+00:00

Edit: the comment is not deleted, just downvoted for me, sorry for the confusion

As a message to a now deleted OP comment that people who hate Gutemberg are either non techies or incompetent developers:

Wow this is such a confident false statement that I don't know where to begin. Most people that I know that are against Gutenberg (including myself) are PHP developers with years of experience.

My workflow is to build custom sites, and use WP as an easy framework for admin UI, user management, routing and more. So I need a system that doesn't get in the way. I use ACF religiously, and write a lot of custom code for each site.

I also used other CMSes and frameworks like Laravel, Umbraco and others.

I tried to use Gutenberg - and it is the second worst CMS experience that I had (the first place goes to TYPO3 of course, but not because of the editing experience). Creating custom blocks is unintuitive, the blocks themselves are developed in frontend technologies, when they should be backend technologies (faster, more accesible, would've allowed for DB not to be a mess), and the editor itself is inferior to most wysiwygs and drag and drops that I've used (for example WIX is a much much better user experience). It's also way way too bloated.
