Need help finding a professional name for my tech agency

3 October 2026 at 20:44

I am starting a tech agency that will offer WordPress and website development SEO digital marketing AI solutions virtual assistant services and automation.

I am looking for a name that feels professional modern trustworthy memorable and easy to pronounce and spell. I also want the name to be broad enough for the agency because I may offer more services in the future.

The main problem is finding an exact .com domain. I have already found some names that I liked but the .com was already taken. I do not want to choose a random name only because the domain is available.

I am looking for a unique and meaningful name that people can easily remember and connect with the agency.

If you were naming a tech agency today what kind of name or naming approach would you suggest?

I would really appreciate your ideas and suggestions.

Can an LLM refactor a WP theme for PHP 8.x compatibility?

3 October 2026 at 17:40

I’m planning to upgrade a WordPress site from PHP 7.2 to 8.3.

I bought this theme in 2018 called 'Soprano - Minimalistic Multi-Purpose WordPress Theme' and it had 2 plug-ins included: Soprano Theme - Custom Post Types and WPBakery page builder. Apparently the theme was not updated since 2019.

Both plug-ins are breaking when updating to any higher PHP version than 7.2.

I see 2 options now: either I go for a completely renewal of theme with one that is already compatible to 8.3 or I try to refactor the current code with LLM assistance to suit the 8.3 requirements.

None of the options looks facile to me, what would you do?

Using Claude code to build a better version of outdated site

3 October 2026 at 13:03

The site in this case is a woocommerce store in construction products and also a lead magnet for construction projects. Over the years the website got messy, mostly because i didn't have time to maintain and optimize it back then.

Now i do have time and energy, at first i wanted to optimize and update the current site but i decided something else.

A clean start, redeveloping my site from 0. Discussing ideas and strategies with Claude and building it with Claude code.

I am sure there are other people who tried this before, and i'm curious about your experiences, maybe some advice or findings?

I built a free broken-link checker for WordPress that runs 100% on your own server (no account, no pro version)

3 October 2026 at 09:18
Hi , I'm the developer of LinkGuard. Most link checkers I tried either send your URLs to an external service or lock the useful parts behind a pro plan, so I made one that does neither. What it does: - Scans posts, pages, any public custom post type, and optionally menus, comments and text widgets - Status for every link: Broken, Warning, Redirect, Healthy - Fix a URL inline (the post/menu/comment is updated for you) - One click "Use target" replaces a redirect with its final URL - Unlink a broken link but keep the anchor text - Bulk recheck/dismiss, dismissed false positives stay dismissed, CSV export - Throttled, batched checking so it won't hammer your server Everything runs locally. No ads, no upsells, every feature included. WordPress.org: https://wordpress.org/plugins/naveencodes-linkguard/ I'd love honest feedback: what does your current link checker do that this one doesn't?

Why is my website giving timeout error??

3 October 2026 at 04:10

https://craftingers.shop

So I migrated my website form localhsot to Hostinger and from there on, it is giving me a time out error.
If I only use elementor pro then there are no error but as soon as I enable another plugin then the usage shoots and then it give me the "unable to load your preview".
I tried everything, increasing the timeout time, increasing the memory, ignoring the timeout through htaccess but nothing works.
The elemntor itself isn't that much of a heavy plugin. So why when I use woocomerce or any other then it causes error?
Please help.

What bothers you most about running a WooCommerce store? Quick survey for my next open source project

3 October 2026 at 03:53

Hey everyone,

Some of you might remember me from my posts about the BrikPanel plugin I developed. When I last shared it here, it had over 200 active installs; today, it has surpassed 1.000. A big part of that came from this subreddit, so thanks again for that.

Now I'm trying to decide what to build next as an open source project, and I'd rather ask you directly than guess. My time and energy are limited, so I want to put them into a problem that a lot of WooCommerce users actually deal with.

So I put together the everyday problems I keep hearing from WooCommerce store owners: design, slow websites, marketplaces, updates that break things, shipping, invoices, and more. If you run a WooCommerce store or build stores for clients, could you tick all the problems you deal with and tell me how much each one bothers you? It takes about two minutes, it's completely anonymous (I don't ask for your email address), and it opens in your own language (21 languages).

I read every response myself.

(By the way, mods gave me the ok before posting.)

Woo bookings vs get Ai to help build one

3 October 2026 at 01:56

Bit of a dilemma here. I know Woo bookings will do what i need it to do but i also know it’s rather bloated and costs every month/year.

Trying to keep my WP builds as light as possible, custom theme, ACF fields for content, barely any plugins. I would call myself a good custom theme developer and designer with reasonable knowledge BUT I can’t just write code. I would be googling and researching to make it work. Ai has obviously changed that for me. What took a day is now taking 2 hours to sort. I ain’t got shame, i still understand what’s happening in the code I just don’t have to do the grunt work.

BUT saying all that a daily booking system is something I’ve never done. The slots and options are simple

Full Day - available Thu, Friday for the moment
Morning - available Wed, Thu, Friday again for the moment
Evening - available Sun-Thursday

The time of arrival will never change, there are no people to be booked, no other options except maybe adding on lunch to the morning session.

Ai has given the option to DIY it and meet the requirements I have set so far
- 12 spaces each session
- admin screen (the most fear I have for this project)
- add on days when required
- control the dates that are bookable
- refund and restock sessions.

Do i do this or use the trusted Woo Bookings? I’m keen to give it a go but don’t wanna mess it up.

And if I do DIY it. Build slowly checking each dev point or give Claude a prompt and let it run?

Advice much appreciated and please dont say you can do it for me, I live for this!!!
