Variation confusion!

6 September 2026 at 19:37

Hi all, wondered if anyone can help?

I am trying to add variations to a product in woocomerce, allowing the option to purchase certain quantities ie 1, 5 or 10,

Then depending on the quantity chosen, x amount drop down boxes to choose between a list of say 20 options ie: quantity 1 so 1 box comes up with 20 different products, or quantity 10: then 10 different drop down boxes come down with the same options in each so products can be mix & matched or 10 of the same item chosen

Only price difference would be between quantities, wouldn’t vary between options within the secondary drop downs…

Hopefully this makes sense?

Thanks

Making a rental website

Here's the website idea I'm trying to create for the business I'm starting. I'm entering the portable toilet industry, and many existing companies are pretty old-school; you have to play phone tag or send an email to order a toilet. I want to create a website that has this type of flow:

  1. Select the toilet you want. 2. Select how long you need it. 3. Select add-ons such as hand sanitizer or insurance. 4. Input info such as delivery address, name, and contact. 5. Select the desired delivery date. 6. Enter payment info and complete checkout.

I would also need to have it so you could only order within a few specific zip codes. I've been teaching myself how to do web design and have been experimenting with different plugins like WooCommerce and Elementor. I'm struggling to figure out the best way to create a website with all of the above features and would appreciate some guidance. What would be the best WordPress plugins to use, and would it be worth it to connect Claude Pro?

WordPress still runs almost half the internet, here's why it hasn't been replaced yet

A lot of people think WordPress is old news now that there are newer website builders like Webflow or Framer. But WordPress still powers a huge share of websites out there, way more than any other platform.

The reason is simple: it's flexible. You can build almost anything with it, a blog, an online store, a business site, a portfolio, using plugins and themes instead of coding from scratch. It's also cheap to host, and there are thousands of developers who know how to work with it, so businesses can always find help.

The newer builders look nicer out of the box, but WordPress wins on control and cost, especially for small businesses that need something built once and maintained cheaply.

Is WordPress still worth learning in 2026, or should beginners skip straight to newer tools?

A plugin with under 10 installs got cited in a Google AI Overview along with plugins with millions. Readme text seems to be the input.

Searching "WordPress SEO Content Generator" this morning, the AI Overview named a plugin with fewer than 10 active installs and zero reviews in its opening sentence, alongside All in One SEO and SEOPress. It's also the first card in the source panel.

It's mine, so I went looking at why.

The description Google generated is almost verbatim from the readme's first paragraph. There are no reviews of it, no listicles, no roundups β€” nothing existed for it to summarize except the .org page itself. It read readme.txt and paraphrased it. It also pulled the Polish translation URL as a second source, so it's crawling locale subdomains.

The takeaway I'd offer to anyone maintaining a listing: readme.txt is now feeding a summarization layer, not just directory browsers. Plain declarative sentences about what the plugin does seem to get lifted cleanly. Marketing voice probably doesn't.

Context that matters: this changes nothing about .org directory search, which is still ranked on installs and ratings. I'm still buried there. But AI Overview citation apparently doesn't weight install count at all, which is a real opening for small plugins that didn't exist a year ago.

Has anyone tracked AI Overview citations for their own plugins? I'd like to know whether readme structure makes a measurable difference or whether I just hit a low-competition query.

What actually makes you trust a WordPress plugin comparison?

6 September 2026 at 04:19

I work in content strategy and spend a lot of time reviewing WordPress plugin comparison content. One thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of β€œbest plugin” articles are basically just feature lists rewritten from product pages. That made me wonder what WordPress users actually trust.

A useful comparison should probably include things like:

  • real hands-on testing
  • actual workflows, not just feature checklists
  • clear pros and cons
  • pricing and limitations
  • what broke or felt annoying during testing
  • screenshots or evidence
  • a clear explanation of who each plugin is actually best for

So I’m curious: When you read a plugin comparison, what makes you trust it? And on the flip side, what immediately makes you think, β€œthis is just SEO content”?

How my plugin was accepted on Wordpress.org ? By creating two flavors of it

Live Blogging Suggestions

5 September 2026 at 20:12

Does anyone have any suggestions for a live blogging solution? I was using 24LiveBlog and as of June 2026-- WordPress booted them for security issues. It was a decent product and I was getting ready to pull the trigger on a paid subscription.

I run a news website and our live blogs generally are for sporting events (24 was strong there), boring council meetings, and sometimes other breaking news events.

I found out today as I tried to set it up for a college football game and ended up getting Arena to hold me thru the game. But it was worfully inadequate --most liley because I had zero time to learn or really explore it.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks in advance!

What's the most deceptively small WordPress change you've worked on?

5 September 2026 at 12:42

I've noticed that the size of a request often has almost nothing to do with the amount of work behind it.

Something like "just change this part of checkout" can end up touching shipping rules, coupons, taxes, payment gateways, order status, emails, caching, and a couple of plugins that all expect the original flow.

Meanwhile, a page that looks like a much bigger job can sometimes be straightforward.

Over time I've become much more careful when someone describes a WordPress change as "small."

What's the most deceptively simple request you've worked on that turned into a much bigger technical problem?

Woocommerce pagination issues

I’ve been building my site for a while and one issue I cant seem to figure out a solution to is the pagination glitch that happens on page 2. So I have 16 products with default sorting with 12 on a page. On page 1 it displays correctly with the first 12 products. When I hit page 2, it now says I have 16 pages and puts a single product on each page, except page 1 which is still the first 12 products. I have very few plugins and have played around with several themes (currently using hello elementor) but it has been an issue thats been present since the very beginning and I cant figure out why. Ive tried all the solutions that come up with a search, but nothing even matches this specific issue I’m having. If anyone has an idea of a fix for this I would appreciate it!

Help editing menus

I'm normally using Joomla but I have a need to use WordPress for a project and I have a question.

After a bunch of plugins were installed there are many items in the menu I don't want to be there but I can't see where to delete or remove them.

Where do I go to do that?

Best design builder for people without experience

Hey guys, I’m working on a project where the client must be able to create multiple landing pages by her self, but she isn’t a tech a person.

Based on your experience, which block builder could be more intuitive and easier for someone without experience?

To be honest I only have experience with Elementor, but as a developer, I prefer to do everything by code instead of blocks.
