Hi everyone,

I’m new to WordPress and currently setting up a photography portfolio.

What I want to achieve is:

• show a large preview image in the gallery (for example ~2000px wide, cropped, smaller file size)
• allow visitors to download the full-resolution original (10MB+)

So the preview would load something like image-2014x680.jpg, but the download button would provide image-fullres.jpg.

Important: I don’t want thumbnails — I want a large preview image that loads fast, while keeping the original available for download.

So far I’ve tried:

• PhotoSwipe
• Meow Lightbox

But both seem to either load the full image in the lightbox or don’t provide a way to separate preview and download files.

Is there a lightbox plugin or WordPress workflow that supports this?

Thanks for any advice!

I'm building a coworking space management software and I'm trying to understand more about the day-to-day hurdles of coworking spaces?

Do you use an all-in-one management tool or a mix of tools?

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I don't know where else to ask.

I tried to turn off auto updates by putting

define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', 'false' ); 

in the wp-config file, but I was still updated to 6.9.4. I don't know what I did wrong, and if I revert to a previous version, it'll probably just auto update again. (Edit: Looked it up again, I'm not supposed to have quotes, am I? It had been set to 'minor' and I changed it to false but didn't realize about the quotes.)

The problem is that my child theme stylesheet isn't loading. It was working fine before with

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_parent_theme_style' ); function enqueue_parent_theme_style() { wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' ); } 

After the update, it doesn't work at all. I can't even figure out how to get just the parent theme stylesheet to load when the child theme is activated. Does anyone know what might be going wrong here?

1. Hey! I recently built a WordPress plugin that audits alt text in media libraries and gives you a coverage score. It can also generate alt text in bulk. Would love to hear feedback from anyone managing large media libraries. https://wordpress.org/plugins/flux-ai-media-alt-creator/

I am looking for a solution for storing photos online. It should have the possibility of having series presented as web albums with full screen views, but also have some functionality for comments and metadata. So, for example, you can search for tag-keywords.
Does something like this exist for wordpress?

Edit: Open source alternatives would also be appreciated.

I am a Motion Designer and want to rebuild my portfolio. (I currently have one made with Semplice which was nice at the time but in the end very limited and doesn't have any symbols logic).

I have been fairly interested in Breakdance builder, but I am not sure about how the licence works : Let say I buy a yearly license and built my portfolio on it.
Can I still add some projects and new content after the license expires and use the visual editor ? Like in the way that yearly license is only for new updates and support but you still keep full use of the tool ?
Or will I be barely able to use the tool and modify anything with it after the license expires ? (If so, I think I'd better use Framer even if it's also quite limited).

Thank you in advance !

Added support for io_uring in the HTTP coroutine server. The HTTP coroutine server can now utilize the high-performance io_uring event mechanism. Enable it by adding the --enable-uring_socket option during compilation for better I/O performance.

From Wikipedia:

io_uring is a Linux kernel system call interface for storage device asynchronous I/O operations.

It works by creating two circular buffers, called "queue rings", to track the submission and completion of I/O requests, respectively. For storage devices, these are called the submission queue (SQ) and completion queue (CQ). Keeping these buffers shared between the kernel and application helps to boost the I/O performance by eliminating the need to issue extra and expensive system calls to copy these buffers between the two.

I've been building PHP backends for 20+ years. The question always comes up: how do you make navigation feel instant without pulling in a JS framework?

I built µJS to answer that. It intercepts link clicks and form submissions, fetches pages via `fetch()`, and swaps the content. No full page reload, no CSS interpretation, no framework, no build step.

Setup:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@digicreon/mujs/dist/mu.min.js"></script> <script>mu.init();</script> 

That's it. All internal links are now AJAX. Your PHP backend doesn't change.

What µJS sends to your server:

• X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest — lets you detect AJAX requests and return lighter HTML if needed
• X-Mu-Mode — the current injection mode (replace, update, prepend, append…)

So on the PHP side, you can do:

if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH'])) { // Return only the content fragment } else { // Return the full page } 

Patch mode lets a single response update multiple DOM fragments. It's useful for forms that update a list, a counter, and reset themselves:

<form action="/comment" method="post" mu-mode="patch"> ... </form> 

Your PHP script returns plain HTML with `mu-patch-target` attributes. No JSON, no special format.

Live search, polling, SSE are also built-in if you need them.
