In reply to: [Gutenberg] Too much uncertainty for too longYes – I really agree with @chthon here. I’m not sure I’m being a responsible business owner if I choose to create sites using WP right now – especially if in a year or less the custom themes I create may be obsolete.
What I think is missing:
1. A Production Version
Even if I wanted to start building client sites with Gutenberg, I can only do it in testing, I can’t move any of those sites to production – therefore I can’t even build new sites with it if I wanted to. I think it is crucial there be a production-ready version for us to use now (or a while before it’s rolled out), since we are creating new sites in WP for clients.
2. A clear guide for making current/recent custom themes Gutenberg-friendly, with a hard deadline.
If we’re going to have to fix/change all those sites to make them Gutenberg-friendly, we need a straightforward guide on how to do it and we need a hard deadline. Because: #1 we need the time to contact our many previous and current clients and explain the issue and #2 then we need time to change them over.
I hope this helps.

In reply to: Password Protect Page with Email RequiredI may not be understanding what you’re saying…
But you can password protect any page in on your WordPress site – In the editor on the right side under “Publish” >”Visibility” > click “Edit” and select “Password protected” and enter the password you’d like to use.
Is that what you mean?

In reply to: Password Protect Page with Email RequiredThere are many ways to do this. Basically you’d just make the password protected page and add the form code you need to the “text” view of the editor. Here are 3 ways:
1. You can add a web form from an email client, like MailChimp, Aweber, etc. (you’d get the code from the email software, copy + paste).
2. Embed a google form to have the names and emails saved to spreadsheet (again, you’d be creating the form in google – then copy + pasting the code.
3. Use a contact form plugin that has a database. Like Gravity forms or Contact form 7 in combo with Contact Form 7 Database.

In reply to: WP Breaking ImagesNot sure what’s going on. I googled your site and I can see all the images on your home page. If you have a cache plugin installed, I’d recommend disabling it and seeing if that fixes the issue.
You can easily add the grid by adding this code to your functions.php file:
https://www.billerickson.net/code/add-column-classes-to-display-posts-shortcodes/
Once you’ve done that, as he’s included, you can add column=”3″ or however many columns you want in your grid up to 6.
You may need to modify the the output for the other part, and that has been a bit tricker for me to figure out, but here’s a link to code kind of like that: https://www.billerickson.net/code/display-posts-shortcode-additional-fields/
Hope that helps!

In reply to: Facebook SPAM HELP!Best I can tell you is to deactivate and DELETE the plugin. Spammers can still access plugins even if they’re deactivated.
Then make sure your entire site is updated, including your version of wordpress, your theme and your plugins. Not updating leaves your site vulnerable for these kind of attacks. Also delete all inactive plugins.
You can try using Digg Digg or the Facebook plugin to use the like button on your posts.

In reply to: Keeping same site, but moving to a test server?Do you need an exact replica of your current site or just to copy your content?
If you just need to copy the content of your site, you can export it – tools>export, which will create an xml file you download. Then you can create a new wordpress site and import your content tools>import (you’ll have to install the importer plugin) then upload the xml file.
If you need an exact replica and you have little-no knowledge of FTP or MySQL, I would advise you to use a migration plugin.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Questions about installation via BlueHostMarvel has a great answer, but if you don’t want to do it locally – you can create a subdomain (new.yourdomainhere.com) or install wordpress in a new directory, like yourdomainhere.com/wordpress. Just keep in mind you’ll have to migrate your site to your real domain once you’re done with it.

In reply to: New WordPress Site, how to use existing domainDepends on your hosting account. You’ll want to contact 1&1, let them know what you’re doing and ask whether you have a hosting plan that will accomodate wordpress. Then you’ll need to ask if they have a one-click wordpress install and if so, where you can access instructions on how to do it. Good luck!
Hey Nick – Thanks for this! I was having the same problem and this solved it for me. :)!
