Is it possible to take static website files from something like Simply Static use that to recreate a word press site? Can the static file data be loaded to recreate an editable version of the site?

Long story short, awhile back I made a website with wordpress and converted it to a static website. I no longer have access to the wordpress site files but still have the static website data. Search results have mostly just been for the opposite - going form wordpres to a static website. Is the opposite possible?

Apologies if this is a dumb question.

How to change this so I can see students enrolled and their progress and be able to download CSV?

I have experience how to make Wordpress sites and i wanna super charge it with AI. There's this Nova mira mcp but is it any good? Can i vibe code an html, and if it looks perfect i tell nova mira mcp to intepret it on wordpress via some mcp out there. Basically i wanna super charge my wordpress process. I have tried nova mira mcp but it sucks. Can we get to a line where we are almost vibe coding a wordpress site and it's as fast and as good as vibe coding a hard code site?

Has anyone seen this? In access log it shows dozens of different IPs from all over the world per second. Possible bot problem? If so, wouldn't they be able to mention?

Not sure what else I should check while I wait for their team?

To soon to consider switching hosting companies? Is it a hard migraton? I need to get back running asap ;(

Hey community,

Do you set your core / plugins to auto-update or run them manually?

If manually, how often do you run the updates?

Are you updating everything on schedule or just each update individually once it's available?

Do you always backup before, or just update and hope for better?

How often something breaks on your site (or your client sites) after an update?

Thanks and great weekend ahead! :)

If you've looked for a way to import RSS feeds as WordPress posts, you've probably noticed that most "RSS importer" and "auto post from RSS feed" plugins are either abandoned, locked behind a paid tier, or only pull a title and a snippet.

I took an older plugin, RSS Post Importer (last tested on WordPress 4.7 back in 2017), and brought it up to date for current PHP and WordPress 6.x. It's free, GPLv2, no upsell, no account, and the source is on GitHub:

https://github.com/guylouzon/interq-rss-posts-importer

a ready to install zip file to download, is here:

https://github.com/guylouzon/interq-rss-posts-importer/raw/refs/heads/main/interq-rss-posts-importer.zip

What it does:

- Imports items from one or several RSS feeds as regular WordPress posts, with the full article content or titles only

- Runs on WP-Cron, with per-feed settings and custom scheduling

- Maps each feed to a category, author and number of posts, and can auto-assign categories and tags to your existing ones

- Imports featured images, and has a template tag to put the image inline

- Simple templating for the post body: append your own HTML or text, add a link back to the original item (the source link is saved)

- Duplicate protection, plus pause/resume per feed

- Optional nofollow on outbound links, and an option to noindex imported posts

- Import/export your feed list and settings as OPML or CSV, so you can move between sites

What changed in this version:

- Works on current PHP versions

- jQuery replaced with vanilla JS in the admin

- Tested against WordPress 6.x

Who it's for: a niche news page, a company blog that republishes its own feeds, a deals or curated-links site, or moving content between your own sites. Please only import feeds you own or have permission to republish, and keep the original link on the post.

I'm still working on it and I'd like real feedback: what breaks on your feeds, which settings are confusing, what's missing. Issues and PRs on GitHub are welcome, or reply here.

Looking for help with a Wordpress/Elementor/Theme issue I’m having.

Using Astra (free) theme. I’ve made changes to the homepage in elementor and the changes show up when I preview them, but not in an incognito window, so basically they are not being pushed live. I don’t think its an elementor issue because any changes I do to other pages work fine, and I’ve also made changes to the global footer (Astra footer, not Elementor) and again the changes show up across all pages apart from the homepage.

This has only started happening recently, before it worked fine. I’ve tried flushing the cache, regenerating css etc in Elementor settings. Checked the page template, reassigned the homepage to another page but same thing happens, changes don’t get pushed live.

Any help would be much appreciated :)

I have a Wordpress site with 7.1.3 and Jetpack. We have a text that has a word "Vibrators". This is really confusing: it is not accepted by the editor. Save produces a JSON error. If I change the word to "Vibrator" it is accepted. What the heck? What kind of reserved word is "Vibrators"?

Hey everyone!

I've been learning web development for about two years. I started with HTML, CSS, and Js, and I'm currently focusing on PHP, with the goal of learning Laravel.

Recently, I started learning WordPress because I heard there's strong demand for WordPress developers in freelancing. Surprisingly, I really enjoy it, especially customizing websites, working with CSS, and using PHP to build custom functionality.

Now I'm struggling to decide where to focus my time.

I'm considering two options:

1. Focus on WordPress development: Learn custom theme and plugin development, WooCommerce, APIs, and advanced PHP, and start looking for freelance clients.

2. Focus on Laravel development: Build a strong backend foundation, learn Laravel, and work toward developing web applications and APIs, while keeping WordPress as a secondary skill.

I'd really appreciate advice from developers who have experience with either or both paths.

Thanks!
