I run a restaurant and want to add online ordering to my WordPress site. Which plugin would you recommend, and why?

Please keep it brief. No spam or disguised promotions. I check account histories, so I’ll spot it. If you’re affiliated with a plugin, say so.

Ran an Ahrefs content audit recently and got a list of ~60 posts/pages to prune. Wanted to back them up first — each one has its own categories, tags, valuable content, so losing one by accident would actually hurt.

Went looking on WordPress.org and every plugin was either:

• A full site/database migration tool (way more than I needed), or
• A "selective" backup plugin with no bulk URL upload, manual title re-entry on restore, and no screen to actually see what you'd backed up

Ended up building my own (I'm the dev, full disclosure): Undelly. Paste a list of URLs, it backs them all up as self-contained JSON records (title/content/slug/taxonomy/featured image), and there's a dedicated Manage Backups screen to download/restore/delete. There's also a setting to auto-backup anything trashed anywhere in wp-admin, so even WordPress's own 30-day Trash auto-empty won't silently wipe something you didn't mean to lose.

It's free: wordpress.org/plugins/undelly

Curious if others doing content pruning have run into the same gap, or if I missed an existing tool that already does this.

Hey peeps,

I tried updating wordpress website php version from 7m4 to 8.2 and my website crashed .My site shows error. What to do?

I am having a few websites built by an agency. They are ridiculously expensive. They do good work but before we launch the sites we will have a meeting with their maintenance team to discuss what those fees would look like for ongoing changes when we need to make updates. I have been in this world for quite some time and have had good and bad experiences with monthly retainers for maintenance work, turnaround times when changes need to be made, etc. Does Claude or ChatGPT or any of the bigger AI models do any of this work easily - work like updating photos on a website, adjusting copy, moving things around design wise on a page if the sites are WordPress? Forgive the ignorance, but I have seen so much on Twitter about AI companies being able to code, famously with Claude Code, so assumed I may be able to bypass paying this agency when I need to make changes barring that paying for the AI perform the task isn't more expensive than the agency would charge for changes.

Many of you guys have been using blog2video.app to add videos into your ghost posts. Now with the official integration with the WP API you can connect your Wordpress blog.

You only need to add the API token to the Connect Tab under WP

Then you go to create New > make videos via connect > it will search all of your posts publised/unpublished or create a new draft.

After doing so you just pick the usual templates + voiceover, the system will generate a video using your preferences automatically.

Have fun, we love WP ourselves and are glad the community is using our product!

Hey r/WordPress! Quick disclosure: I made this, so its self-promo, but I'd love honest feedback.

Think of a real shop. You can see whos walking around and whats in there baskets. Online, you usually only find out after they've left. ShopSocket is my solution to this.

What to expect:

A live screen in your WooCommerce admin showing:

• How many people are shopping right now
• Exactly which products are sitting in their carts
• New orders popping in the moment they're placed, with a little sound notifications

No refreshing. It just moves on its own.

What your shoppers see

• "X shoppers have this in their cart right now" under the price
• If someone else adds a product you're already holding, you get a friendly heads-up. Like seeing another person pick up the same product.
• If it sells out while its in your cart, you're told straight away.

The truth

• It's free on WordPress.org. It needs my free companion plugin, WordSocket, and a free WPSignal account, because normal hosting can't keep a live line open to every visitor.
• Your store's data is scrambled before it leaves your site, so even I can't read your orders or customer details.
• The free plan suits a smaller store. Paid plans for bigger stores are on the way.

Here's a 2.5 minute video of it in action: https://youtu.be/BKwID6t_kpQ?si=9IOuDOC9ZAAUB4x2 Plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/shopsocket/

Store owners: would you want customers to see that others are holding the same product, or would it put them off, any other suggestions/feedback?

I have a personal blog with Kadence free theme, but I search for make my blog more... mordern....
I came across this blog by a Spanish programmer and really liked it. Is there a similar theme on WordPress??

I'm creating some new pages on a client's (ancient) WordPress site, which is enable by Divi as an editor.

Besides hating my first experience with the Divi platform, I seem to have accidentally removed the styling from the main menu. I've spent hours today trying to figure it out, to no avail.

It looked like this:

https://preview.redd.it/tr2nwo2ei9sh1.png?width=1265&format=png&auto=webp&s=f46ef69d78a23940da33b613c013bff2ad8347ca

But now it looks like this (even in incognito mode):

https://preview.redd.it/g6mca96gi9sh1.png?width=1233&format=png&auto=webp&s=31cd93fa3e50859181f1302d3982b2b494f92f34

I've tried several things like accessing version history (there is none!) and clicking 'CLEAR' in the Divi Theme Options 'Static CSS File Generation' section (including enabling an disabling it), and no go!

I'm hoping this is a simple fix. I'm going crazy here!

This morning I was looking at Google Analytics and found a series of pageviews for

/page/2/
/page/3/
/page/4/ etc.

These all seem to load my home page. The source for these is direct, but I can't imagine where they would come from.

I looked back and saw a handful of these in June and early July, then nothing for a while. Then earlier this month it started happening again. Last week there were thousands of them.

Does anyone have experience with this, or any idea what may be happening?

Bonjour à tous,

Je rencontre un problème assez étrange avec Kubio sur mon site WordPress et je cherche désespérément une solution.

La rubrique « Contenu » a complètement disparu de l'éditeur Kubio sur toutes mes pages, sauf sur la page d'accueil.

Lorsque j'ouvre une page concernée avec Kubio, je retrouve bien l'en-tête et le pied de page, mais toute la partie centrale est vide. Dans la vue en liste, je ne vois qu'une structure vide : Section > Colonnes > Colonne.

Pourtant, lorsque j'ouvre exactement la même page avec l'éditeur WordPress classique (Gutenberg), tout mon contenu est encore présent : textes, photos, mises en page et blocs Kubio. Le code des blocs wp:kubio/row apparaît également dans l'éditeur de code.

J'ai déjà essayé plusieurs manipulations :

• Restaurer une ancienne révision WordPress contenant l'intégralité du contenu.
• Actualiser et rouvrir les pages dans Kubio.
• Créer une nouvelle page privée de test et y copier les blocs récupérés.
• Vérifier la vue en liste et les paramètres de Kubio.
• Vérifier les extensions installées, le thème actif et l'état de santé du site.

Malheureusement, rien n'a fonctionné.

La page d'accueil fonctionne toujours normalement et possède bien sa rubrique « Contenu ». En revanche, cette rubrique est totalement absente des autres pages dans le panneau de configuration Kubio.

Ma configuration :

• WordPress 7.1.2
• Kubio 2.9.1 (build 521)
• Thème Avantis

Est-ce que quelqu'un a déjà rencontré ce problème ?

Existe-t-il une manipulation permettant de rétablir la section « Contenu » ou de récupérer l'affichage des blocs existants dans Kubio, sans devoir reconstruire toutes mes pages manuellement ?

Merci beaucoup pour votre aide !

I have a project that was originally built with Next.js, and the client now wants to move the entire website to WordPress.

The main requirement isn't just editing text/images. They want to be able to:

Add new pages themselves

Add/remove sections

Move sections/widgets around

Change colors and images

Modify page layouts without contacting me

Basically have a visual, drag-and-drop editing experience

Manage around 5 main pages

There is also a reusable certificate page template with around 400 individual certificates

My idea is to use an AI coding agent (I'm considering Cursor/another agent) and give it the existing Next.js codebase. I would have it:

Analyze the existing Next.js application

Convert the components/sections into custom Gutenberg blocks

Build the WordPress theme/plugin structure in PHP/JS

Convert the certificate system into a reusable WordPress structure

Work section-by-section rather than trying to convert everything in one shot

Test everything in WordPress and then hand the site over to the client

The client doesn't want a headless Next.js + WordPress setup. They basically want me to deliver a WordPress site that they can manage themselves afterward.

Is this a reasonable approach?

Has anyone used AI coding agents to migrate an existing Next.js site into a WordPress theme with custom Gutenberg blocks? I'm particularly interested in:

What should be built as custom Gutenberg blocks vs. normal WordPress templates?

Should I use Gutenberg, ACF, Elementor, or something else?

How much of this can realistically be automated by an AI agent?

What are the major things that AI is likely to get wrong?

Any recommended workflow for doing this safely?

I'm comfortable with Next.js/React but relatively new to building custom WordPress themes/blocks, so I'd appreciate advice from people who have done something similar.

I want to disable the Coming Soon mode on my WordPress website. Where can I turn it off?

I know there's still quite a lot of time, but it's a fast approaching and this is a generic question.

Are you generally "hunting" to buy a yearly license around that time with a promo?
If you found a plugin you want to buy today - would you wait for a BlackFriday promo?

Update: I got a fast accurate response below, so thanks, & this is closed.

I did look the instructions up online, and the article is from August 2026, so I don't know if it's my theme or what (Generate Press), but under appearance, there is no Reading under Settings.

So

I had it set correctly, but someone installed a plugin on my site to add a sort of store type thing, and now he set the items for sale on the index page and I want my original page back.

Why would the "Reading" be missing from the Settings area?

Thanks

Hello Everyone,

I built a free WordPress plugin for selling event tickets and checking guests in at the door. I'm the author.

Events and Tickets with QR Check-in — GPLv2 on WordPress.org. No paid tier, no per-ticket fee, no account to create with me.

What it actually does:

- Sets your event up by asking you questions — what kind of night, what the room looks like, how you get paid — instead of dropping you on a settings page.

- Sells the room you actually have: tables, rows or free seating, price categories and zones. A seat can't be sold twice.

- Asks for the name of every person coming. Each guest gets their own QR ticket as a PDF, by email.

- Checks people in from any phone at the door — camera, photo or keypad. A ticket works once, and a live count shows who's inside.

- A floor view keeps sold, seated and arrived apart, so you watch the room fill in real time.

- Card payments through Stripe, straight to your own account — or offline payment (bank transfer, cash) if you prefer.

- Six languages in the download: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German and Arabic — emails, dates and the printed ticket included, with Arabic drawn right-to-left on the ticket.

It was born in a real venue, with a real door and a real queue outside, and works just as well for dinners, concerts and conferences.

new functionalities coming soon

Thank you!

Hi everyone

I’m having an issue with my hero banner graphic on an e-commerce site built with Elementor. The top of the image (text and top section of the graphics) keeps getting cut off on tablet/desktop viewports.

Setup details:

Widget: Image Carousel inside a Flexbox Container

Original Image Size: 1920 x 850 px

Image Resolution in Elementor: Set to "Full"

What I’ve tried so far:

Set Image Fit to both Cover and Contain in the Carousel style settings.

Turned Equal Height ON in the Content tab.

Toggled Full Width ON/OFF under Image Style.

Adjusted the outer Container Min Height (tried up to 850px+).

Despite these settings, the upper part of the graphic remains cut off/cropped inside the frame.

Has anyone run into this ratio issue before? What is the best way to force the carousel frame to display the full height of the 1920x850 image without clipping the top? Or should I be using a different widget/approach for hero banners like this?

Screenshots attached showing my settings and how it currently renders. Thanks in advance for any help!

I ran a website on a .co.uk domain. I purchased the .com domain and then transferred the website over. I then let the .co.uk domain name lapse and no longer own it.

The administration email address for the .com website was for the old .co.uk email address. Is there a way to force the change on the website to the .com email address as the normal way of doing it doesn’t work as I need to confirm on the old .co.uk email address.

All and any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone.

Recently I've been making all of my websites with claude. Making custom themes, building everything from scratch. The performance has been great in comparison to using elementor.

I wanted to know how other are managing, and a bit worried to know when claude is making the custom themes and mu-plugins folders, what specific security measures should I keep in mind?

We built a chat plugin for WordPress years ago. Real-time messaging between members, one-to-one and groups. Then I never released it. It sat on my drive, and every so often I'd open it, decide it wasn't ready, and close it again.

A month ago I finally committed to finishing it. I've spent the last few weeks on the boring part: rewriting the notification layer, adding moderation, fixing bugs that had been there since 2022.

And now I'm stuck on the one thing I never thought about in all those years: what to give away for free.

My last plugin's free version was too complete. People used it happily for years and never had a reason to pay. I don't want to repeat that. But a free tier nobody installs converts nobody either, and I honestly can't tell where the line is.

The specific problem: my audience is community sites, and BuddyPress already ships free 1-to-1 messaging. If my free tier is just DMs, there's no reason to install mine. Free has to clearly beat what they already have, but if it beats it by too much, nobody upgrades.

Everything it does:

One-to-one and group chat, replies, forwarding, editing, starred messages, mentions, reactions, typing indicators, read receipts, presence, images, files, video, voice messages, GIFs, archive, mute, block, conversation requests, reporting, moderation queue with strikes and bans, browser push, unread summary email, dark mode, RTL, floating widget, full-page inbox, BuddyPress integration, real-time delivery or polling with no external service.

Where I've landed so far:

* Free: groups, 1-to-1, mentions, mute, archive, starred, forwarding, images, dark mode, reporting

* Paid: real-time delivery, moderation tools, push, voice messages, reactions, editing, typing indicators

What I keep going back and forth on:

* Groups. The strongest upgrade driver, but also the only real reason to install this over BuddyPress core. Gating them feels like removing the hook.

* Reactions: They cost me nothing to run, but they're what makes a group feel alive. Paid or free?

* Moderation: I split it: collecting reports is free, acting on them is paid. Shipping a free chat with no way to report abuse didn't feel right.

* Limits instead of locks. Capping free groups at around 10 people instead of blocking them, so the wall only shows up once the community actually grows.

Which feature on that list would you actually pay for?
