WordPress defaults to showing latest posts on the homepage until a static page is created...

2026-06-18

Hey, thanks for the question. Look, sorry, probably didn't make it very clear. Let me just show you what I mean. Okay? So when you install WordPress fresh out the box, you'll see that under posts, you'll have one post called Hello World. That's always there...

Let me show you how to set a static homepage using WordPress. You want to log into the admin, you want to head over to pages, click Add New Page, give it a name, add your content and publish it.

Now this is an easy way to speed up your WordPress website.

2026-06-17

Now this is an easy way to speed up your WordPress website. if you think just by deactivating and deleting a plugin that it's gone, then you're wrong. WordPress doesn't quite work that way. Most plugins store temporary data called transients, and these are just cached values that save WordPress from calling them over and over again every time they need...

Take a piece of paper like I just did, and you write down anything you don't like in your life.

Take a piece of paper like I just did, and you write down anything you don't like in your life. Your income, your car, your girl, your guy, your pets, your lifestyle, whatever. Write it down. If you don't like it, then simply choose to not tolerate anything on that list, beginning now. Because you get what you tolerate. You're tolerating a negative mom...

Or people saying WordPress isn't that customizable and then use Wix, Shopify, or Square Space.

Or people saying WordPress isn't that customizable and then use Wix, Shopify, or Square Space. Yeah, exactly. It doesn't make any sense at all. Like, that's just saying I don't know how powerful WordPress is.

Damn, blocking you now. Sell your shady add ons or an outdated product WordPress somewhere else.

Damn, blocking you now. Sell your shady add ons or an outdated product WordPress somewhere else. WordPress is free by the way. 10 comments? Dude, no one is using WordPress in 2026. So tell me, who's using WordPress in 2026? Like for me, obviously. There's the emergence of AI now. AI is able to code and build websites faster than I ever could...

Okay. Hundred percent agree.

2026-06-14

Okay. Hundred percent agree. WordPress is awesome if you actually know what you're doing. And for me, hundred percent, I agree with this. Okay? It's crazy the split down the middle when it comes to WordPress. The amount of people that love it and the amount of people that absolutely hate it. I honestly don't know what there is to hate about WordPress...

Use WordPress for years, but moved to Laravel for backend.

2026-06-13

Use WordPress for years, but moved to Laravel for backend. So I used that WordPress for years. I've used it for 15 years. And there was a period where we went through. We were building some quite bespoke projects. And at the time I felt like we needed to move to something else. And I built probably four projects, I think, in Laravel...

Okay, thanks for the question, and I think it's a valid question and something that need does need addressing. So WordPress is the most popular platform online. You know, I think it's like 40% of websites are built in WordPress...

I've just seen a video where an agency owner said that her agency is no longer using WordPress because they want their websites to look more professional. Like, that doesn't even make sense. I'm assuming she must have had some backlash for this because the comments to the video were totally disabled. I couldn't even reply with my opinion...

Alright, cheers for the comment, Mike.

Alright, cheers for the comment, Mike. So Mike is asking what's the best approach to find out why external images don't load or show as blank images. This is what I would do in 30 seconds to get this resolved. First of all, external images means that your website is trying to load images from somebody else's website...

These are the five things that I check if any of my websites go down.

2026-06-10

These are the five things that I check if any of my websites go down. Almost every broken website that I fixed has been one of these things. Having uptime monitoring is a lifesaver because generally speaking, if something goes wrong with one of my clients' websites, I'll know about it and be able to fix it before the client even knows about it...
