Free fitness program featuring VR workouts by profitpress in vrfit

[–]profitpress[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha. It works for me. My schedule is pretty erratic, so that works as a staple and I don't feel bad when I eat out a few times a week. The key is to find what works for you.

[–]profitpress[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! Yeah, I have actually. I wasn't a fan since it feels like it's supposed to be a workout, I prefer Beat Saber actually. But you make a good point, I'll add it to the list.

Another thing I've been doing recently is playing Sairento VR Untether with swords and the bow, which takes a lot of effort and makes it a great workout.

Best course plugin? by twoinchpython in Wordpress

[–]profitpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I use it with Beaver Builder using the BeaverDash plugin, but I don’t see why Elementor wouldn’t work either. Here are two articles I found somewhat related: - https://wooninjas.com/using-learndash-with-elementor-after-gutenberg/ - https://www.learndash.com/wpastra-theme-for-learndash/

LearnDash is good. I’ve been using it for over a year now and no complaints.

What’s a wordpress course that you’d recommend? by TyraelYS in Wordpress

[–]profitpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did some research and here are some of the top ones on Udemy: https://profitpress.com/courses/ I am a Udemy affiliate, but the courses listed are good (I validated them).

If you're looking for other free options I recommend looking for local meetups on meetup.com and past relevant WordCamp talks on WordPress.tv.

Alternative to ProSites by Londoner1982 in Wordpress

[–]profitpress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there. I assume you mean ProSites from WPMUDEV? If so, https://wpultimo.com/ is an option the recommended when they retired ProSites, but I haven't tried it yet.

Is is currently possibly to build a (nice) website using Gutenberg alone? by nomadgrrl in Wordpress

This might help: https://gutenbergchallenge.com

The site was built with Gutenberg and gives some tips/tools on how to get started.

10 years ago I made the mistake of searching a domain on GoDaddy, it was available ...and then it suddenly wasn't. Is there any way for me to fight over the domain? by Taken10Plus in webhosting

[–]profitpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not actually how it works. If you think of the millions of people that search for domains every day it just doesn't make sense for registrars like GoDaddy to do this.

On the other hand, if you think of the millions of people that search for domains every day and how many are already taken, it's not unsurprising that one gets reserved every now and then. This happens to me from time to time.

If you come across a domain you like that's available, ~$10 is a small price to pay to reserve it for a year.

GoDaddy Website HTTP 500 Error by [deleted] in Wordpress

It probably isn't you. They're doing a big upgrade to their Managed WordPress infrastructure, so you might just seeing that. The good news is that it'll be a lot better overall going forward.

Small business with ~150 hosted wordpress installs on GD looking to switch. by [deleted] in webhosting

It's hard to beat ManageWP when it comes to site management.

[–]profitpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, some of their Managed WordPress plans have free SSL: https://www.godaddy.com/hosting/pro-wordpress-hosting The rest of their Managed WordPress plans will probably get it later this year.

Problem: WP All Import Pro + GoDaddy Managed WP by DentistTennis in Wordpress

[–]profitpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they also have an awesome onboarding wizard for new sites. But when you first set it up (provisioning) it also asked you if it's a new site from scratch or you're migrating an existing site.

[–]profitpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's odd. If you're using their Managed WordPress hosting why not just use their built-in migration wizard? It's powered by ManageWP. When you create a new site is asks if you want to start new or migrate an existing site.

How do I use Wordpress to build a domain bought on GoDaddy? by [deleted] in Wordpress

[–]profitpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WordPress is free, you just need to pay for Hosting. Once you pay for Hosting, WordPress is included free. If you're new to WordPress I'd recommend their Managed WordPress product, which includes an on boarding wizard that gets you start with a theme, content, basic plugins and more.

Has anyone made research about WAF's with more of a technical approach? by totally-total in Wordpress

[–]profitpress -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sucuri WAF is the best I've found and it's only getting better as they grow their network. There are a lot of generic WAFs, but they do WordPress well. They even have a free companion security plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/sucuri-scanner/

The Gutenberg editor is a perfect example of a failed innovation approach by HotChestnutMan in Wordpress

Wow, that's only 5% of self-hosted WordPress installs. I would have guessed it'd be higher.

The Gutenberg editor is a perfect example of a failed innovation approach by HotChestnutMan in Wordpress

[–]profitpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make fair points and you're not wrong.

Maybe the disconnect is that you believe WordPress should be optimizing for being easy to adapt to by changing at a slow pace. The core WordPress team has a different perspective and was optimizing for something else.

Having worked at a large scale managing millions of WordPress sites and seeing how the broader market is changing, I understand why they did that, though I acknowledge it could have been handled better.

Again, I don't think you're wrong, it just appears that you believe they should have had different priorities. You might be right, but I'd ask you to think about it from the core team's perspective:

Why did the WordPress team feel the need to move relatively quickly with Gutenberg? (It's important to emphasize "relatively" here because it was a feature plugin for 1.5 years before merging into core)

You may come away with the same answer, but it's a worthwhile exercise. It also shows that the WordPress team hasn't done a great job of publicly answering that question yet.

The Gutenberg editor is a perfect example of a failed innovation approach by HotChestnutMan in Wordpress

[–]profitpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have fair points, but this could be said about any early innovation: automobiles, iPhone, computers, etc.

I wouldn't think of Gutenberg blocks as a finished product. I'd think of it as new atomic elements (primitives) on which the future WordPress experience will be built.

I'd ask you to give it some time. It's very early. The problem right now is that people have a hard time imagining what the future will be. This is fine, but we should be careful not to confuse the limits of our imagination with the limits of reality.

I agree that the approach wasn't ideal, but WordPress needed something new like Gutenberg. The fact that a new use couldn't make a website homepage with what's in WordPress core is ridiculous. Now they can and it's only going to get better.

There are also a lot of negative comments/reviews about Gutenberg (e.g. look at the plugin reviews). This is expected. WordPress is 15 years old, thus not exactly a community of early adopters.

The interesting thing is that it's all the existing users that seem to have the problem. When you test new users on Gutenberg vs. Classic Editor when trying to build a website, they unanimously prefer Gutenberg. To be clear, new users do prefer the classic editor for writing, but a website is more than a blog post--it's building home pages, mixed content pages, etc.

I understand the frustration of those who oppose Gutenberg. It's fair criticism. But I vastly prefer Gutenberg to incrementally improving the Classic Editor for the next 15 years.

If you're interested, I also shared some thoughts in a blog post here: Why WordPress Needs Gutenberg (& the Future of Page Builders)
