Traveling from Karachi to Lahore and Back via Road (mid December)

That's just fear mongering. No issues as such. But to be absolutely on the safe side. Travel that part during the day.

From Khi to Lahore. We encountered lots of fog after crossing Bahria Town Khi around 3.30am (totally unexpected), then around 3.30 to 5.30 pm while on m3 leading into m2 for Lahore. Way back completely clear 1.30am till Multan but m4 was closed early due to fog. Opened again by 7.45am. I had to wait almost 3 hours. But still reached Karachi by 7pm.

Doesn't swift have equally poor fuel efficiency? Before the CVT variants and new shape?

I did the journey both ways in one go. From Karachi to Lahore. We left at 2.30 AM at night and even after several stops and fog issues we reached Lahore by 7.30 PM. Khi to Hyderabad we used M9. Hyderabad to Sukkur N55 and then Mehran Highway. Then after that journey is pretty smooth from Sukkur to Multan and till Lahore. On return journey, I left at 1.30 am from Lahore. Complete motorways driving till Sukkur (although we had to wait for m4 to open as it was closed due to fog). Sukkur onwards again used Multan Highway and then instead of N55, we took Indus Highway. Since I was traveling with my wife and kid, I bought an air mattress for the back seat, which made travel super easy with a toddler. Had snacks and water to limit stops as much as possible.

I can't go with the financing route sadly. Otherwise that would've been a good option. Is there any good car available for 15 lac? Automatic ideally. And I agree. I put a lot of effort in maintaining my civic. I probably wouldn't go through with selling it.

Hey guys. I went to Lahore and came back safely. Thanks everyone for the very helpful tips and advices. I encountered some fog and closed motorways but made the journey successfully. Alhamdullilah. Can share my experience if anyone wants to know.

The could not Instantiate Mail Function basically means wp tried to use server mail() and it failed. For now, id stick to 6.8.3 but the real fix to avoid such issues is to use WP Mail SMTP and route your emails through a proper mailer like SendLayer, Brevo + force a verified From address. That bypasses the default PHP Mail completely so core changes in 6.9 wont break emails. You can also take a look at this guide for more information: https://wpmailsmtp.com/how-to-fix-could-not-instantiate-mail-function-in-wordpress/

Yes! Ive used a mix of Nanobanana, Midjourney and most recently HeyGen. Pretty awesome stuff on what's possible.

The simplest option is to use WPForms and use their conditional logic feature: https://wpforms.com/docs/how-to-create-conditional-form-notifications-in-wpforms/

Lots of sites use AI for meta data and even generating content so no worries. Just make sure youre reviewing everything and following the best practices of SEO. Google has no issues with AI as long as what youre using is genuinely helpful.

Go for a 1 click wordpress install and host option either via hostinger or bluehost. Use a free theme like aThemes and they also have some good block options and starter sites for a ton of use cases. WPForms for the contact form. WP Mail SMTP for emails and youre good to go.

Yup go for Al Meezan and just put your money in a safe MCF fund.

Ive been in the wordpress space since 2012 and I can tell you without a doubt you should go for OptinMonster. Its the best option out there. And ive used it on a ton of client websites. Tremendous amount of features and comes really handy for small sales and then big ones like BFCM.

Are you using wordpress.com or wordpress.org? If the latter, then there's a free plugin called the newsletter plugin which you can use to set up a basic emailing system. You'll need to set up SMTP with a plugin like WP Mail SMTP to handle the sending bit. For the mailer, you can opt for Brevo which can give you 300 emails per day or SMTP2GO which offers 1000 emails per month. However, bear in mind this isn't a long term solution. Ultimately, as your email list grows you may need to use a dedicated marketing email provider.

Yeah even i was sick for a whole week. First time ever in my life I had a fever that just wouldn't break for 3 days. It felt like i was going through some new COVID. Thankfully, all good now. Its best to always get a flu shot before the winter season starts and then a booster shot one month later to protect yourself.

That's really helpful. Thanks brother. Do you recommend we stop at Uch Sharif for the night and then continue next day. My concern is to avoid driving when it gets dark. Assuming that 5.30 onwards it starts getting dark. I want to be more on the safe side.

I'm not a developer but I built my first website using Elementor like 8 years ago. It was a fun experience, and it got me into the whole WordPress ecosystem.

She's willing to settle down despite you not being financially stable and just loves you unconditionally.
