While most of this episode was too basic for me, the last few minutes really paid off. Thanks for the straight talk @Kevin 01:55:47 WordPress CMS and the Lunatics of this world (Rant) 02:13:02 Why "Owning your data" is important (Free Speech / Free Web / Censorship)
This video just made me realise you can use one looped card, one static card, order, and nth-child, and achieve absolutely any grid mix and match layout you want. 😮
Would love to see a video that goes over your page speed optimisation plugins, your work flow for page speed optimisation and your SEO plugin of choice... maybe as a 2024 Blueprint video 🤷♂️
Thank you, Kevin, for your very informative discussion today. While listening, you mentioned that pages don't have categories. I have been using this code snippet to create and use them. add_action( 'init', 'add_categories_to_pages' ); /* * Add CATEGORIES to pages */ function add_categories_to_pages() { register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'category', 'page' ); } From your perspective, what would be the downsides to continuing to use this category for page snippet in the future?
Hm, I believe the very reason ACSS became so successful is because the people behind it actually used it by themselves, and have built it for themselves in the first place. You guys knew exactly what’s necessary because you were on the playing field. That fact was the very foundation of ACSS’ success. I’m curious how leaving that part out of the picture will impact the future of ACSS. How not playing the game anymore and not being in the playing field will affect future decisions made for ACSS. You were actively engaged in using the tool, not just building it. I do trust in your ability to keep the product evolving without actively using it, but nothing ever will beat real world practice and the insights you gain from “walking the walk”.
So, picture this: Imagine a world where statements like this sprout from a decline in critical thinking and the rise of groupthink, pop culture, and viral memes. No imagination required. Let’s take a trip into another imagination land for a moment. Imagine a group of hunters who were skilled trappers, feeding themselves and their families. Then, out of the blue, they stumble upon this game-changing tool called a bow and arrow. Suddenly, their hunting game skyrockets! They start crafting these magical bows and arrows, sharing them with fellow hunters, and even selling them. These inventive folks, still sharp as ever, didn't lose their knack for hunting-though they do it a bit less now. They've got hunter buddies, family members, clients, and enthusiastic students all buzzing with fresh ideas about hunting, eager to collaborate because these hunters have truly inspired them. I know right, hard as frick to imagine! At first glance, your comment seems misinformed at best and hardly worth the 3 minutes I just spent venting about it. On second glance, it was a rewarding 3 minutes!🤔😁😎
I still use it every day. I still study web design and build patterns for frames. I’ll still be doing live builds and tutorials. We will likely be adding full website layout packs. There’s a lot of work to be done on the playing field, we just have to get rid of the client distractions.
Since we forsee that Wordpress could reach in less than 10 years the cliff towards which it's rolling to, what would be your personal/pro alternative keeping the necessity of self-hosting, data ownership and being open-source in mind ?
Kevin, am I right in understanding that you now use the "Visibility" taxonomy as a replacement method for the "hide from loops" custom field you talked about in this video: ruclips.net/video/ji-mFz2y2uw/видео.html ?
Vote for Geary in 2024. Make WordPress great again!

Really like this narrow layout, focuses the eye.
A very good long mass today Fr. Geary. As usual the sermon was top notch.

Long but great show ! Love your new web site and very interested to follow your business shift.
As somebody who makes real etchings I am intrigued by this etchings thing. We’ll all be up to see your etchings in September.
Waiting for Etch.
The furure is headless 🎉. That is what we need. ACSS to be the head of Sanity or Storyblock. That would change everything 💪
Data ownership for the win.
Hi Kevin, Congrats on the new website, why the switch from Rank math to the Seo framework?
Lightweight and does the job for smaller sites
Absolutely agree it is crazy that CPTs are not part of core WP! 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏻♂️
They are they’re just insanely limited without being extended by plugins
2:22:35 What an epic rant that was...
Thank you, Kevin, for your very informative discussion today. While listening, you mentioned that pages don't have categories. I have been using this code snippet to create and use them.
add_action( 'init', 'add_categories_to_pages' );
/*
* Add CATEGORIES to pages
*/
function add_categories_to_pages() {
register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'category', 'page' );
}
From your perspective, what would be the downsides to continuing to use this category for page snippet in the future?
CPTs is better
Thank you for your input Kevin
Why the switch from Rankmath to SEO Framework Kevin, are you finding it better?
On smaller projects, I use SEO framework because it’s lighter weight
Any reason you are using The Seo Framework before other seo-plugins?
I use it on smaller sites because it’s lightweight
@@Gearycoah understood. I use SeoPress think its amazing.

@@Gearycothanks for your reply, I’m looking forward to the future of your products
For people watching in the future, timestamp 14:43 is when the fun starts. Lol

I haven’t even begun to look at alternatives yet :/
@@Gearyco Could forking be one of them ?
