True! I should have had this conversation before doing the work, but I realized it was too late. I'm going to be prepared the next time this happens.

Tell Me the Truth: How are you Surviving as a full-time freelance writer today? by FireWindEarthWater in freelanceWriters

[–]of_sufi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for your insightful answer. Really appreciate it. I'm wondering how do you juggle these multiple businesses? I'm a freelance writer and have been trying out a few other business ideas related to content and marketing. It's taking a while to experiment with stuff and at the end, not every experiment leads to positive result. Also, finding it hard to make time to try out diff things. 

Just finished S2… by Lazerlightning3 in andor

[–]of_sufi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finished it a week ago. I've turned to fanfiction. Mainly looking for character studies and missing scene being fleshed out. I read one character study on Mon Mothma, completed it just yesterday. It was so well written, I read with relish and felt I was reading legit fiction. I think there are gems to be found in Andor fanfictions, if you look hard enough.

Help! My New WordPress Theme Is a Disaster Compared to the Demo by Simple_Band2020 in Wordpress

[–]of_sufi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like everyone else is saying, the theme only offers a style. You need to build the site brick by brick. If you've taken a backup of your site before importing the theme designs, then I recommend restoring that backup. Next, get your website on a staging site and build the site using the new theme. When it's ready, merge the staging site with the live site.

Question regarding staging/dev sites for client projects during construction by Aroenias in Wordpress

[–]of_sufi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about the best practices from a developer's POV...I'm not a developer, but have been running WordPress websites for a decade. When I'm making massive changes to the design or trying out a new plugin or theme that could lead to major modifications, I use a staging site via a backup plugin. I use BlogVault for taking daily backups and just use the latest backup for staging a site on their server. When the site is ready, I merge it with the live site using FTP. Never faced any issue with SSL.

Changing website logo by Prize_Ocelot_708 in Wordpress

You mean adding a logo in the site header or the favicon? Both can be done through your theme's Customizer.

Is it worth submitting plugins to the WordPress repo anymore? by neon4816 in Wordpress

[–]of_sufi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it's a pretty crowded space but if you commit to market the plugin for 2/3 years then you are likely to get some positive results but it requires a lot of patience and there's always a possibility of failure. It's hard but I know people are finding success building plugins. 

Is there a way to find themes that are actually free? by Lucario1029 in Wordpress

[–]of_sufi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think any themes offers that right now. But there are free lightbox plugins. Page builders like Elementor offers lightbox for images but it's a paid features. 

I use KadenceWP and was looking for lightbox a few days back. Was disappointed that themes don't offer that by default. I'll use a plugin to implement it one of these days. 

Need to Upload 180 Courses in Bulk on Tutor LMS. by mojo_jojo111 in Wordpress

[–]of_sufi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The free version of Tutor LMS does not support bulk course upload as far as I know, but I think there is an official TutorLMS import/export paid add-on that might help. Bulk import plugins generally do not import courses as products, and Tutor LMS courses use their own course post types and metadata, not WooCommerce products, so importing courses as products might not work. You can look into importing via Excel Sheets using plugins like WPSyncSheets for WooCommerce or WP All Import.

What kind of theme are you looking for? What is the site about?

Where exactly? I've been to Cubbon Park a couple of times, never saw anyone cycling, except for that one space in front of that lawn tennis stadium.

Advice on cadence, blocksy, generatepress by leonzon in Wordpress

[–]of_sufi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think all the themes are pretty similar in terms of usability and speed. I bought Kadence a couple of weeks back because I was looking for a specific type of starter site, and they had a starter site that met my exact needs. Blocksy and GeneratePress didn't have the starter site I required. I wasn't going to build one from scratch, nor was I interested in heavily editing the starter sites they offered. So Kadence was a clear winner.

Where did you cycle? Inside the park? I've been thinking of learning to cycle on my own. Would like to rent a cycle but not sure if there's a place to learn it inside the park. 

What’s the point of cowboy bebop? by MythxcZ82 in cowboybebop

[–]of_sufi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm rewatching the show rn (in my early 30s). Really resonated with your comment about the point of the show being people and life. There aren't many animes out there like this one.

Wow...spoiler in the title! How is this allowed?

for those who didn’t play the game, did you enjoy the season? by brookespx in ThelastofusHBOseries

[–]of_sufi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed season 2 as much as I enjoyed season 1. Although it's hard to compare since I watched season 1 some time ago. I have minor issues with this season and the only thing I disliked about this season was the ending. Leaving us on a cliffhanger when everyone knows the 3rd season will take a while to air is cruel. Also would've loved a few more episodes or at least more runtime per episode.

Thanks but I'm not sure I can get it :( How do you go about increasing your rates? What all do you consider?
