In reply to: [ICS Calendar] Everyone on vacation?Well, I tried [email protected] and it bounced.

In reply to: [Polylang] Works too well?[Solved] If I specifically set the language the builder uses in the settings page for the builder to my preferred language and not leave it the “Site Default”, all is well.

In reply to: [Advanced Custom Fields: Extended] Change button text?Ok, finally someone answered my question on another site.
Calling the field under the tab settings for the form “Submit Value” I glazed over the text below that Field description: “The text displayed on the submit button”
You could easily make a case that I need to slow down and read more carefully but WHY not just call the setting “Submit Button Text”?
Thanks

In reply to: [Media Cleaner: Clean your WordPress!] Filtering the searchHere is the key: advanced specificity. I want my clients to have a way to clean the Media Library but only for CPTs I have created. They are not savvy enough to realize this result of the scan includes assets that are part of templates for example.
Use case: They have a CPT that lists cars available for their car sales business. They sell the car, delete the post but the assets are still in the Media Library. I want to “Re-determine” that only assets that are from trashed (and were in emptied trash) are removed for certain post types.
The plugin “Autoremove Attachments” performs this way BUT if they have uploaded the images for the vehicle manually, they are not removed. Only if they add the assets within the post creation page will this work. I can with that specify they only remove attachments for listed CPTs. I wonder if there is any way to specify that these images were used but not anymore only for certain post types.
Again, it’s not about “speed” but specificity.
Thank you for your time on this question.

In reply to: [Media Cleaner: Clean your WordPress!] Filtering the searchJordy,
Thanks for the reply!
Just the (kinda’) opposite ??
Actually I would like to have a list of post types to specifically select including my CPTs to scan only when necessary.
Thanks,

In reply to: Very Slow Localhost config (Too slow too work)Unfortunately the changing the “Localhost” to the local IP doesn’t make a huge difference for everyone.
What has worked best for me is diligence with what, when and which plugins I use.

In reply to: Very Slow Localhost config (Too slow too work)…yesterday I changed my hosts file to …
I have read and heard that also. I tried it before and the change was quite marginal in my experience. I mainly work on a 10 core iMAC so the “potential” “horsepower” is there.
Taking a careful survey of the plugins I was / am using and being a bit more stringent about which, how and when to use them has made the most difference overall here.
I use several development plugins and some of those plugins are a bit “heavy”. Of course they aren’t necessary in a live environment. It’s that the performance is encumbered so during the development and production process locally that is my challenge.
The old tried and true advice is still true – that turning off plugins and testing, then turning on each plugin individually to the extent that it’s possible, tuning plugins on one at a time – observing performance as you go to carefully choose what ones “make the cut” – STILL TRUE.
This research is obviously important in dialing resource use. This is why the localhost is a “sandbox”
That’s always going to be true I think in the WordPress “ecosystem”.

In reply to: Very Slow Localhost config (Too slow too work)I see I have “resurrected” an old topic quite well.
The references to other technologies have generally provided the same results for me.
At the end of the day I think we are dealing with a lot more overhead to run the server locally – even on my 10 core iMac ??
Please, if anyone does find the “magic bullet” on this speak up.
Thanks

In reply to: Very Slow Localhost config (Too slow too work)It seems to be just the combinations of lots of resource demanding plugins and some poorly written code in various places.
It don’t seem to be anything “left over” that slow things down, but what is “left out” that speeds things up ??
Thanks for replying Stef

In reply to: Very Slow Localhost config (Too slow too work)Here too on MAC… Every update has gotten slower and slower.
Anyone know why?
Is Vagrant or something else better.
I have used MAMP for YEARS but it’s just getting really bad.

In reply to: [Polylang] Now doesn’t play nice with Oxygen BuilderI have no idea how or why. I had turned off all the other non essential plugins. I had set up a sandbox in the cloud – all the stuff I know to do and it was failing consistently. I was really careful and diligent in the testing. I actually have QA training.
Now today and I am stumped… It’s working with 2.7.1

In reply to: [Polylang] Now doesn’t play nice with Oxygen BuilderUpdate:
If I revert back to the previous build: 2.6.10 the reusable template parts are available in the Oxygen Builder interface again.
Thanks

In reply to: Post Layout – Custom Theme@jaycbrf Yes I saw that finally.
The presumption I had made was that the editors had some basic default styles they would pass to the frontpage side of the equation, that would to some basic level, reflect the editor “backend” preview. This is simply not the case.
As I go from starting with other existing template code, to coding from scratch, I see now I must maintain and enqueue something like the standard “editor-style.css” (for classic editor) and “editor-blocks” for Gutenberg editing.
I think I have a handle on this now, but I detail it here for others combing the forums for answers.
Thank you for taking the time to confirm my understanding.
Kind regards,

In reply to: Reduce Mobile header sizeI think the best way to have them on an “equal par” is to put both elements inside the same tag “ie: div” (or whatever you choose).
That way you could align them easily. They should respond together that way also.
Does that help?
