I’ve been finding it increasingly challenging to position Drupal with clients when WordPress tends to feel more stable in comparison. The Drupal 7 → 8 migration was already a tough sell for some clients, and now the CKEditor 4 → 5 migration feels like another uphill climb.

Many of the CKEditor ecosystem modules (Linkit, CKEditor Templates, etc.) have taken a long time to fully catch up, and some are still buggy. On top of that, core and contributed modules often need patches to work as expected, and sometimes updates introduce new issues rather than resolving them.

I’d love to hear how others approach this:

• How do you frame Drupal’s value when clients are frustrated by bugs and regressions?
• What strategies do you use to maintain stability and client confidence? Testing my own custom code is one thing, but I expect contributed modules to do this for themselves. I guess that’s a wrong assumption. Having a dev, staging, and production site are good too, but they only go so far for the sneaky regressions that make their way into a live site.
• Do you think we could move toward stronger automated testing for contrib, maybe even with AI to help increase coverage?

Is anyone else a little weary of CKEditor at this point? It’s surprising that in 2025 we still don’t have a truly smooth WYSIWYG experience in Drupal. It reminds me of the growing pains we had with media in early Drupal 8.

This follows up a previous post "Duplicating a D7 site's front page layout in D11, DXPR theme" but I'm trying to focus the question better. I need a FRONT page structure having:
-- a top region containing a banner graphic
-- menu region for main menu of 7 items with dropdowns
-- big region displaying a cycling slideshow of photo images
-- secondary menu region for a 4-item menu with "mega menu" (multiple column) dropdowns
-- main content area in an approximate 1/3-2/3, 2-column structure
-- footer region containing a banner graphic

Then a BASIC page structure for other pages having:
-- same top region
-- same main menu region
-- main content area in an approximate 1/3-2/3, 2-column structure
-- footer region containing a banner graphic

Given that goal, what theme or starting theme would probably be best to get there? I have tried to use the DXPR theme but frankly, I'm not understanding how to get what's desired from it. The old D7 site was not responsive. I need the new version to have that, but also want to have a fixed width within the range of desktop screen dimensions.

Hello,

I've got two content types:
Houses, Flyers

Houses is mostly just address, name - that's it.
Flyers contains media field to upload files and a reference to a house.

So 1 House : n Flyers - Relationship.

Now, I'd like to use the API to retrieve all Flyers with a certain House ID.
I've got the ID, I can see all the Flyers via Postman, when I GET URL/jsonapi/node/flyer
and I can see inside each flyer:

 ... "field_something": "xyz" }, "relationships": { ... "field_house": { "data": { "type": "node--house", "id": "893aa231-e276-4f47-a3c0-efavfdv", "meta": { "drupal_internal__target_id": 960 } }, a aaa 

Somehow, I can filter by all fields inside attributes.
Is it possible to filter by by details inside relationships as well?

When I filter like:

flyer?filter[relationships.field_house.data.id]=893aa231-e276-4f47-a3c0-efavfdv

I get a response:

 "errors": [ { "title": "Bad Request", "status": "400", "detail": "Invalid nested filtering. The field `relationships`, given in the path `relationships.field_house.data.id`, does not exist.", 

I've recommended to a friend it's just I'm in design so maybe for me it's easy but dunno for him tho.

I am running a multisite environment (70+ sites) where some sites need to have the same "ribbon menu" above my main navigation. I currently have one theme and would like to keep it that way.

How can I add a "checkbox" to my theme settings that, if checked, will insert a specific twig file in a region. Otherwise, that twig file is not inserted.

I was able to do something similar in D7, but can't figure out how to do it in D8/10 and Drupal's documentation isn't very clear.

I am using Commerce Centauro Module, I saw alot of options to implement payment, like paypal.
I want to know what are the best options? Especially free ones. Its about payments so I want to be sure I am using the best modules.
