Why BYD can’t do for China what Ford did for America

How to create (seo compliant) FAQs per page / node on my Drupal website?

Hello,

there are a few different ways to create FAQs as it seems.
In one page / layout builder / node, I'd like to add some FAQ items.
They are directly related to the content of the page.
They should contain the JSON-LD / microformat markup for SEO purposes.

What's your recommendation there?
(without custom development)

Remote Post Handler - Trying to insert header into drupal webform

Remote Post Handler - Trying to insert header into drupal webform

Hey everyone! I am trying to get an api to connect to my drupal webform. However, I can't get the header syntax correct to pass my api key. I have tried following the documentation (Guzzle PHP HTTP requests), but that has not helped. If anyone knows the correct format, that would be great! Thanks!

Network Connectivity in BLR1

9 November 2025 at 02:11

Nov 9, 07:11 UTC
Resolved - Our Engineering team has confirmed the full resolution of the networking connectivity issue affecting the BLR1 region. Users should experience expected performance when accessing Droplets and other services.

If you continue to experience problems, please open a ticket with our support team. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Nov 8, 18:07 UTC
Monitoring - Our Engineering team is still observing intermittent issues impacting network connectivity in the BLR1 region. Between 17:28 and 17:37 UTC, the team observed a major connectivity loss to this region and took immediate steps to reroute traffic via a different upstream provider to alleviate the impact.

The issue BLR1 is experiencing at the moment stems from a broader Internet issue. Network accessibility in the region has improved as of now, and users should already experience better performance when accessing Droplets and other services. We are closely monitoring the situation to ensure stability.

We appreciate your patience and will provide an update once the issue is fully confirmed as resolved.

Nov 8, 15:15 UTC
Resolved - From 13:50 to 14:15 UTC, our Engineering team observed an issue with an upstream provider impacting network connectivity in the BLR1 region.

During this time, users may have experienced increase in latency or packet loss when accessing Droplets and Droplet-based services, like Managed Kubernetes and Database Clusters in BLR1 region.

The impact has now subsided and as of 14:15 UTC, users should already experience better performance when accessing Droplets and other services.

We apologize for the inconvenience. If you are still experiencing any problems or have additional questions, then please open a support ticket within your account.

The form has become outdated. Press the back button, copy any unsaved work in the form, and then reload the page.

Hello guys, I am new to drupal and I have a project I need to finish. It was working well a first but now I am getting this error every time I try to log in or fill out any type of form inside drupal. Any suggestions?

Now it seems like it won't work despite everything I tried.

Lessons I’ve Learned About Drupal 8 Best Practices After Working On Multiple Projects

I’ve been working with Drupal for a few years now and picked up a few habits that have saved me from messy code and downtime. Sharing what I’ve learned here in case it helps someone just starting out with Drupal 8 or 9.

The first thing that matters is version control. Use Git. Always. It doesn’t just track changes; it prevents disasters. Every developer should have a local copy, work on a separate branch, and push changes only after proper review. This process keeps your main branch clean and helps you roll back quickly when something breaks.

Testing environments are another must. Never edit code directly on a live site. I use tools like DDEV to set up a local development environment that mirrors production. Then there’s a staging setup where we test everything before it goes live. This is one of those small steps that prevent huge headaches later.

People often ask if Drupal requires coding. The honest answer is, not always, but understanding PHP, HTML, and Twig helps a lot. Drupal’s admin interface covers content creation, layout, and views, but the moment you need something custom, coding becomes necessary. If you want to handle complex integrations or custom modules, working with a professional Drupal development company saves time and avoids misconfigurations.

Now, about Drupal’s future. I keep hearing that it’s losing popularity, but that doesn’t line up with reality. Major organizations still use Drupal because it’s secure, flexible, and open source. The community is active, and new versions like Drupal 10 show consistent improvements. It’s not going anywhere. In fact, when used right, Drupal remains one of the best content management systems for long-term projects.

Headless Drupal is another interesting part of the journey. I’ve tried both coupled and headless setups. Headless makes sense if you’re building with React, Vue, or any modern JS framework. It lets you manage content in Drupal and render it wherever you want using APIs. Drupal 8 introduced JSON:API and GraphQL, which make this integration pretty smooth. It’s more work to maintain two codebases, but it gives complete control over how the frontend behaves.

On the database side, I’ve mostly used MySQL and MariaDB. They’re reliable and easy to tune. PostgreSQL also works well but needs a bit more setup. The main rule is to keep your database optimized. Clean cache tables, index frequently queried data, and use Drush to clear caches instead of doing it manually. That alone improves site performance noticeably.

Security and maintenance are where a lot of people slack off. I’ve seen projects go down simply because updates were ignored. Keep your modules and themes updated, use SSL, set up regular backups, and follow Drupal’s security advisories. The goal isn’t to make it fancy; it’s to make it stable.

When it comes to choosing Drupal for business, I’d say it fits best when you need flexibility and control over how content and workflows operate. It integrates well with CRMs, e-commerce setups, and custom CMS frameworks. If your goal is to manage structured content or multilingual sites, Drupal handles it much better than most systems. Companies like Ekfrazo Technologies focus on these areas, combining Drupal development with long-term support and content optimization.

One thing I like about Drupal is that it rewards discipline. If you follow version control, maintain environments properly, test before deploying, and update regularly, it becomes incredibly reliable. You can manage everything from basic sites to complex enterprise systems without constant breakdowns.

If anyone’s new to Drupal or planning a large migration, it’s worth reaching out to a team that handles these setups daily. Ekfrazo’s Drupal experts help with custom builds, migrations, and CMS optimization, and their documentation helped me improve my own deployment workflows.

I’m curious to hear from others here. What’s one Drupal practice you never skip, no matter how small the project is?
