I'm new to WordPress and i've just managed to create a local site using bedrock running inside docker.

Are their any goods books/texts recommended for professional wordpress setup and development? My impression is that the titles I'm able to find online are out of date or of questionable relevance. Any ideas? Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi, I'm an experienced webdev but new to wordpress and was asked to build a maintainable webpage for a hobbyist group.
In the future they want to be able to maintain as much as possible themselves and for the remainder search for as broad a range of web-devs as possible.
Due to that I found it reasonable that they specifically requested I use wordpress, but they also requested elementor and astra.

Taking basically one long look at these I threw both of them out immediately and have been using a basic theme (twentytwentyfour) and no plugins so far.
My contact however keeps insisting "all the tutorials use astra/elementor" or variations thereof, so just to cover my bases here,
What is the community consensus on astra/elementor?
What plugins themes would you recommend for such a situation?

The page has a bunch of static text-pages, a somewhat complex page-frame (with top and sidemenus) and a few "article pages" (Where later maintainers can easily create "posts" i.e. subpages).

Solution was to addtouch-action: auto !important; to the CSS!

Hi! I am the webmaster for my wordpress site, fusil.uk.

I have been trying to fix a problem where text links within anchor tags aren't clickable on mobile. If I set the browser to responsive mode on chromium, they aren't clickable either, regardless of resolution.

I have been trying to adjust anchor tags z indexes, checked several times to see if there were overlapping divs, etc, and yet to find a solution. It also affects my sub pages.

The closest I have gotten is that deleting the global-styles-inline-css fixes the problem, but obviously ruins the graphical aspect of my site. Changing the style doesn't fix it, but changing the entire theme does. Obviously, I want my theme to work.

Hovering over the link in responsive mode on the browser shows the url interestingly, but clicking has no e

Matt Mullenweg has a huge chip on his shoulder that HE PUT THERE. He's taking it out on his top contributors.

Joost has nothing but the best interest at heart for the WordPress community. I would exactly say Mullenweg Silenced Joost, it's not like he killed him or anything, but he's not letting him speak at WC Asia.

I think Matt has gone off the deep end here and its' concerning beyond belief.

We really need to wrangle control of the project out of his hands.

I want to show a bunch of previews of websites on one page on a grid. The visual link preview addon just grabs an image from the page and the tagline, it doesnt actually show a site preview. Wpmains grid view of sites is a great example of what I want in the image. (Ik I can just take screenshots and get this done in minutes, I was hoping there was some dynamic addon that is easy to update)

By site preview I mean a literal preview of the website, thought that was obvious but the only adddon I've found for this purpose definitely doesn't do that.

I love the Post Status community and am a paying member Joost and Marieke are great stewards and will do a lot for the community.

The WP Community Collective is focused on supporting and strengthening the open source ecosystem.

The WP Community Collective provides financial, operational, and promotional support to open source projects and communities. We fund independent contribution to selected projects and develop initiatives that support the both the micro and macro open source community.

I'm a member and I see the need for a community like this outside of WordPress.org to make sure the project survives Matt Mullenweg's idiocy.

As the owner of a wordpress.org website, which I host myself, and use for personal blogging, how can I get an email anytime anyone posts to my blog?

What's the feel about moving away from talking about WordPress and more talking about CMS based on Wordpress? - It seems that we are all going to have to move away from wordpress.org and WordPress branding.

The best general expression of frustrations I've watched so far on the Wordpress (Matt)/WPE debacle, everything she says is on point.

Some extracts:

Stunningly, Automattic’s CEO Matthew Mullenweg threatened that if WP Engine did not agree to pay Automattic – his for-profit entity – a very large sum of money before his September 20th keynote address at the WordCamp US Convention, he was going to embark on a self-described “scorched earth nuclear approach” toward WP Engine within the WordPress community and beyond. When his outrageous financial demands were not met, Mr. Mullenweg carried out his threats by making repeated false claims disparaging WP Engine to its employees, its customers, and the world. Mr. Mullenweg has carried out this wrongful campaign against WP Engine in multiple outlets, including via his keynote address, across several public platforms like X,YouTube, and even on the Wordpress.org site, and through the WordPress Admin panel for all WordPress users, including directly targeting WP Engine customers in their own private
