Why are reviewers and even AI still saying LearnDash is easier than LifterLMS? Everything is so much easier and more logical in LifterLMS.

CHatGPT for the win in debugging old code that broke updating to PHP 8.1. Old Genesis/Dynamik based site the client doesn't want to update to more modern tools and look but other than this recent error, it's been very stable.

Just cancelled my Adobe Creative Cloud plan completely. I should have done that years ago...

I've redone my personal web site (pixelyzed.com) in Bricks Builder and ACSS with a new-ish design (went back to an old color scheme but the layout's new). At my agency we've been on Bricks Builder exclusively since the end of 2024. For me, everything just works and I'll be writing about it soon.

Hey WordPress developers and designers. Are multilingual sites something you struggle with? Would a tutorial or course on how to build them without complex plugins but with multisite instead interest you? It make sound more complex if you've never used multisite but it's really not. Let me know!

Working on a site I built with Generate/Blocks a while ago...Seriously missing Bricks right now. This testimonials slider I need to make would have been done in 10 min in Bricks.

I've been canceling a few subscriptions for general media services or WordPress plugins I don't really use. Feels good to drop the dead weight...

The deeper I get into Automatic.css and learn more details, the more impressed I am! My only regret at this point is not starting to use Bricks and ACSS sooner...

Fucking Astra theme broke a client site again. Duplicate search icons in the main menu. No matter what cache I flush they remain. Settings are no help. Astra remains one of the most frustrating themes I've ever had the displeasure of working with. Why did I listen to that moron who recommended it...

And our first Bricks client site is live! (Bricks, ACSS, Advanced Themer, bit of Frames). Great learning experience and completely different from my usual GeneratePress/Blocks or Kadence/Blocks workflows. I seriously cannot go back now. What a revelation!

I've been really testing Bricks Builder for few days & I'm truly impressed! This will be the future base of my WP toolbox. The Query Loop is fantastic! Handles user queries flawlessly + popups in query loops!! Tried to create something like that in multiple Gutenberg packages and failed. I'm sold!

I've been spending time offline with Isabelle and my family. Merry Christmas to all and I hope you are having good down time. As a small business entrepreneur, the Holiday Season is often a time for me to really take things slow and disconnect from anything work related. Hope you're doing the same!

The KadenceWP folks are really killing it these days. Their recently released Kadence Insights plugin (A/B testing) is amazing for what they call an MVP product. I can't wait to test it on client sites. To me, their product ecosystem is probably one of the most useful globally (theme, plugins, etc.)

Spent an awesome day in the studio recording guitar parts for my band's upcoming album. Felt good to play through a loud tube amp again instead of a modeller 😁

The more I use the Kadence theme, the more I like it! They keep releasing useful features without bloating it (or Kadence Blocks).

Just requested a download of my X/Twitter data. After that, I will deactivate my account. Loved Twitter for a long time. It was my watercooler in 2008 when I started my entrepreneur journey and worked from home spending my days alone. But it has not been that for a long time. Time to move on...
