So what’s WP Orgs long term plan?

Almost every WP site I come accross now days is a mess of WPBakery and Elementor code. It’s slow, messy, not opitimised and buggy. WP always promotes it’s self as a “do anything” CMS, which is it, but its becoming another Wix or Squarespace.

Even premium themes are built in “drag and drop”.

No one cares about BEM or SCSS or any current coding standards. It’s just bird’s nest of code.

The “premium” theme I am workin on now has 35 seperate .css files and 12 seperate .js files plus about a dozen style blocks in the code! I asked the theme creator why the code wasn’t at least minimised and they didn’t know what I was talking about.

I’m so tired of cleaning up other’s messy code. No one takes pride in WP anymore. It’s just smash something together in Bakery and whack a $7k price tag on it, who give’s a stuff if it’s actually done properly. It’ really sad.

@joyously, does WP.org not have control over the plugins distributed on their site?

Right so apparently your meant to name the php file the same as the post type. It doesnt say this anywhere in the docs.

One more reason not to use WordPress.

Awesome – I was able to do it in JQuery.

Code for the curious:

$( ".customclass" ).each(function( index ) {

	var featlink = $(this).find("a").attr("href");

	$(this).find("h3").wrap( "<a href='" + featlink + "'></a>" );

	$(this).find(".feature-me-link").hide();

});

Thanks, thats worked.

Is there any way to use the title as the link in stead of the ‘Learn More’ link?

GOT IT!

I think I was going about this the wrong way!

Renaming my theme directory so it would ‘default’ worked. I was able to login the admin area and disable the problem plugin.

Previously when I tried this I was looking at the front end of the site which would go completely down. I was expecting it to defulat to the twentytwelve theme. As the front end was broken I assumed the back end would be as well so did try logging in. My mistake.

(PS: I think it was an auto back up plugin breaking it)

I dont get any errors. On the normal pages I just get a few warnings and notices but on the problematic page I get nothing.
