Help, I wonder if I chose the wrong person to build my site. can I dm someone some questions to ensure I did, or didnt?

Thanks

This is a warning for anyone looking at Kadence right now about what will be coming and we we all know it.

Liquid Web, after buying Kadence (or before I have never heard of them until this sale), seems to have fully embraced the AI build process from Claude Code. All tells are there. Its a clone of any other Claude website with the eyebrows and the numbers. They are going to sell "Kadence AI" soon, and I expect fully that Kadence is now a pile of shit owned by equity. I can't fault whoever built it for running with it and closing the sale. But as a "Founding" lifetime purchaser for Kadence, I can't recognise what I am looking at.

Kadence will be recommended a lot, and is here, because it's generally a good theme with great hooks and is good enough for a developer that needs to hand a site a customer wants a bit of control over.

But watch out. Don't invest today for something that might be milked for everything it can be by the new owners.

Liquid Webs website is absolute horse shit. Its a testament of the money hungry hype train of AI and if you think Kadence is safe now you are probably in for a surprise.

My suggestion:

Learn to FSE, learn to ACF Pro with Gravity Forms and CPT and templates. Learn to develop WP and don't settle for what's coming. Don't settle for a builder, or a theme or anything bundled and sold, especially if you are going to rely it for income.

We dropped Kadence about 2 years ago for full FSE or ACF/Templates, but I have a few legacy sites on it. And I went to do some work for a customer and realised so much had changed in the ownership that the brand trust we had is now in the toilet.

Just be careful making a decisions about developing into something you have no idea what the road map is anymore.

Hello everyone,

PHP comes up here from time to time, and I've noticed the discussion is usually based on what the language looked like 5+ years ago. Since I work with it every day and have genuinely come to enjoy it, I wrote a short article recapping where it actually stands today.

It covers modern deployment (FrankenPHP, Docker), software architecture (modular monoliths, the Symfony kernel, agents), the type system and its tooling (PHPStan, PHP CS Fixer), and the state of concurrency (ReactPHP, Swoole, the True Async RFC).

Let me know if I missed anything, or if you'd like me to go deeper on a specific topic!

Is this happening to anyone else? I'm a Kadence lifetime user. My license key is not working as of this week so when I try to build with premium layouts I get an error message. I contacted support on Tuesday and again later this week and have not had a reply...I was hoping for a fix before the weekend, but that looks like it's not going to happen.

I run a non-profit and need suggestions about the best database to get. I loved Giftworks but they don't convert to the cloud so went with Frontstream that bought up so many databases. I paid a lot and it's totally useless for me. Only way to ask questions is with a chat or email. They are more interested in upselling. All I need is a database that stores records about my donors - runs reports- mailing lists - info on constituents.

Hi!

Does anyone know how to transfer system.io domain to wordpress? A step-by-step guide would be helpful.

Thanks!

So it’s been a few weeks since 7.0 has been released and I’m kinda surprised nothing happened. No cry’s or screams of fear that peoples sites haven’t burned down. Does this mean that things are safe or is everyone like me waiting for 7.01 and others to say it’s good to go?

I’m looking for alternative for Salesforce CRM. In my current salesforce org, I had implemented customizations for accounts, opportunity, opportunity product, product, product schedules, price books, price book entry, contacts, leads, 12-15 custom objects

2 custom apps, approval process, flows, triggers, and some lwc component, validation rules were also present.

The org is for about 100+ users.

Any recommended alternatives which will have the similar capabilities to implement all the above features.

Our current site is hosted in Europe, loads painfully slowly for anyone in mainland China and sometimes simply does not open. I have learned this is partly the great firewall and partly the lack of a local server and an ICP filing. What I really want is one team that can handle the whole package, the localization into Chinese, the China hosting, the ICP filing, and ideally the WeChat side of things too, instead of me juggling five different vendors in three time zones. A few Shanghai based agencies keep coming up that claim they do all of this end to end for foreign brands. Before I reach out to anyone, can someone recommend a studio that genuinely delivers the full China launch rather than just one piece of it?

noticed the AMC theatres site has had queue times of over an hour today… just to get onto the homepage. That’s a bit strange right?

AMC has ~650 locations in the US. Assuming ~10 screens per location, ~5 showings per screen per day, and ~300 seats per auditorium (probably a generous estimate), that’s roughly 10 million available seats per day.

Even if site traffic is 5x higher than actual ticket sales, we’re still talking about something in the ballpark of 50 million daily visitors.

That’s obviously not nothing, but it also doesn’t seem like an absurd amount of traffic for a company this large. I’m curious what the technical/business rationale could be?

hello, she has a gigabit connection , and my upload speed is fast enough to deal with it but for some reason she has 8/10 times constant issues where it buffers every second ,whether with directplay or transcoding (i can transcode at 6x the framerate of the shows so shouldnt be an issue)

can anyone recommend a way to speed up or solve this issue? it wasnt a problem till i had to reinstall jellyfin and i believe i have put all the settings back to how they were.

is there an alternative to tailscale , that is still free and maybe faster without any issues such as relaying

I use the Whatsapp API for the "new leads". But whenever I need to transfer the lead to a seller, it's creating a new lead card, duplicate. Is there a way for the seller to send a message from inside the CRM and inside the lead card, only changing the number that they wanna use (a normal number, using whatsapp lite, separate from the API) and the CRM not creating a duplicate card for that person?

En otros países esto clasifica como secuestro, pero que recursos tenemos en Panamá para estas situaciones que rosan lo ilegal? Conocen a alguien que le haya pasado estos temas?
