    Massive influx of links

    Pretty sure he's saying crawl/index the spam URLs (the ones you want disavowed) rather than the URLs on your site that are getting linked to. It sounds like Google needs to crawl the spam page and follow the spam link to your site to recognize all the elements and have the disavow fully kick in.

    CMS & Theme Reccs for SPEED

    If you don't want to be beholden to a developer, just use WordPress and GeneratePress. Bite the bullet and buy the GP Premium plugin (essentially GeneratePress Pro) for like $100/yr and you can use the Elements system to literally do all of your templatization inside of the WordPress dashboard...

    Which dev course would you study?

    I make my living doing full stack WP dev (full time and freelancing on the side). Once you've become proficient in all the main areas, soft skills become the key to competing, much moreso than advanced technical knowledge. The web dev that the vast majority of people need is not that...

    The "No Dev Question is Stupid" Thread - Basic HTML / CSS / Etc.

    Obviously late to the party here but do you already have these authors associated with posts in the metadata somehow? In other words, is there a place in the WP Edit Post screen where you've been entering these authors' names and roles, and you're just trying to display them? Or do you need the...

    Unique Wordpress Feature Ideas for Enhanced User Engagement Brainstorm

    I tried taking a similar approach like oh probably close to ten years ago but never really had the traffic nor dedication to see if there was a significant increase in user engagement. I ended up building a reddit-like tool to allow users to up and downvote their favorite products, which at the...

    The "No Dev Question is Stupid" Thread - Basic HTML / CSS / Etc.

    Hmm in that case I would probably contact your hosting support to see if they can find anything. Having .htaccess files in different directories isn't uncommon nor inherently bad, depending on the contents of the file.

    That means some other file on the server is the actual source of the hack, and it's what keeps updating index.php. If you can access your WP Dashboard, install the Wordfence plugin. Run a full scan using that plugin and it will tell you which files are malicious and let you autorestore the...

    The "No Dev Question is Stupid" Thread - Basic HTML / CSS / Etc.

    Yeah so any changes made through the Customizer or through something like a Code Snippets plugin should be compatible with updates. Those changes are stored in the database and are independent of the file system. The only time you really have to worry is when you're actually editing the files...

    The "No Dev Question is Stupid" Thread - Basic HTML / CSS / Etc.

    It's not updating WordPress you need to worry about, it's updating the theme or updating any plugins with files that you've modified. When you say you've made adjustments to the theme via a plugin, what exactly do you mean? What plugin did you use to make the changes? Depending on whether or...

    The "No Dev Question is Stupid" Thread - Basic HTML / CSS / Etc.

    It really all just depends on how the plugins are built. Generally the thinking is that fewer plugins is better, but in practice it really depends. What's more important is that the plugins are built well, don't introduce bugs or security vulnerabilities, only load additional JS or CSS files on...

    The "No Dev Question is Stupid" Thread - Basic HTML / CSS / Etc.

    The first thing you'll need to consider is the width of the content area. Depending on your theme, you may be able to set this in the theme options, or it might be hardcoded in. Also, different page templates may use a different content area width. I feel like most themes these days have a Full...

    The "No Dev Question is Stupid" Thread - Basic HTML / CSS / Etc.

    Tough to troubleshoot without actually seeing it, but off the top of my head: - does the color change not show on your mobile phone, in Chrome inspector when you reduce the screen width down to a mobile size, or neither? If the change is showing on "mobile" view in the developer tools but not...

    The "No Dev Question is Stupid" Thread - Basic HTML / CSS / Etc.

    Do you have a content value set on the :after element? Pseudo-elements (:before and :after) don't show up if there's no content value set. It can just be an empty string ( eg content: ''; ). When you say it shows up in Inspector, do you mean that you can see the CSS rule in the source file, or...

    The "No Dev Question is Stupid" Thread - Basic HTML / CSS / Etc.

    I think your first instincts are better; get the site functional and refine it as you go. I think the worst thing you can do is to actually get the site wrong from the go. What I mean by that is, I feel like a lot of people overbuild their website at the start without really knowing what's best...

    If you were using this addon (https://www.monsterinsights.com/addon/forms/) and no longer have access to it because you're not paying for premium anymore, your Monster Insights form tracking is probably going to stop working in Analytics when you deactivate the plugin.

    The "No Dev Question is Stupid" Thread - Basic HTML / CSS / Etc.

    Since you mentioned Monster Insights, I'm guessing you're talking about tracking submissions in Google Analytics. The easiest way to track them is probably to have the forms redirect to a "thank you" page after submitting. Then, you can set up a Goal to track all the visits to that page. Super...

    Semiconductor Shortage = Trouble

    I don't see anywhere where he wrote that you shouldn't consume if you have the money. He was talking about average people taking on more and more debt to buy shit they do not need. Like this is stuff you guys preach regularly - cut out the bullshit things, costs, people, etc. in your life and...

    Logic Behind An Upvote Button?

    This guide explains how to set up AJAX calls in WP and even uses the "vote counter" idea as the demo example (https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2011/10/how-to-use-ajax-in-wordpress/). In this case, they just save the vote count as some custom post meta. As mentioned above, unless you need to...
