This was a really helpful post. I learn by seeing, so the recipes example was great. I would love to see a small library of example case studies for how these could benefit cause I'm still a little fuzzy on that, and I feel like processing a few more examples would really lock it down in my mind yanno?
Where are the links you mentioned in the video? They're not in the description.
Good advice about not overdoing multiple overlapping taxonomies
I hope you will expound on this paragraph in a subsequent video: "If you want to get really sophisticated, taxonomies can be used to assist with access control, personalization, injecting dynamic content (like calls to action or ads), and even re-theming posts on an individual basis." Thanks for the info on taxonomies.
"Expound on this" = "Expand on it, but in a deep serious voice and dramatically holding one hand out front, opera style" 👍
I NEED MORE OF THIS!!!
Bonus
Good explanation, I like the filing cabinet analogy!
Game changer
Thanks Kyle for sharing. Get to learn: backdrop-filter and mask-compsite. Keep up with the good work.
Fantastic tutorial, one of my faves to follow along with on a site I'm building! Thanks Kyle!
What about a tv show structure. How would you do that? For example each show has multiple episodes, those episodes belong to a specific season.. what would your structure be?
I probably wouldn't use taxonomies for each episode (since they are all one-of-one). I'd have a post type for the show and posts for each episode. That would, I think, give you everything you need to query. Now, if there are multiple shows, and you were looking to improve discoverability, you could consider things like "Genres" as a hierarchical taxonomy or actor's names as a non-hierarchical one. Hard to say without really knowing all the structure, how it's being displayed, the flow of the website, etc.
I actually just did a site like this. It's a curated best of lists website and TV was one if the main categories. We used a custom taxonomy and then broke TV up into subcategories (Comedy, Drama, Short Series etc...). Each subcategory has an archive page where we can display a listing grid of shows (custom post types) on it. We used ACF and JetEngine to accomplish this.
Hi Kyle, An off topic question. How does one add google adsense code on a website built on block themes? All the tutorials show that we need to add the code in the header.php or body.php file in the theme files of Classic themes. I assume not the same with block themes. Can you guide us on how to accomplish this on block themes? Thanks.
This is what I call a truly great tutorial. Thank you, Kyle.
Where’s the link to the inserted code?
06:30 that is impressive - auto populate field mapping for ACF form creation
I keep getting "There has been a critical error on this website." message after migration. Any solution for that?
Would love a marketing course!
do we need two separate wordpress account to migrate?
Thanks so much for this. It really helped me out!
It absolutely blows my mind that anybody would consider this to be a logical way to build a website in 2024. This is unbelievable. What a massive massive waste of time...
Amazing video! I am newbie when it comes to building websites. Can I do this using Elementor?
This was excellent. I like the longer format. I’d love to see a similar one for customizing comments which I find to be a hassle in Wordpress. Also I’d love to see an article tutorials on making a site more like Substack and all the ins and outs and best practices for doing that
Perfect!!
Thanks!! You saved me a lot of time bro!
awesome tutorial!! I think My client really like this dashboard thx you~~
Really, really helpful video, Kyle, thank you. I was likely going to go with Postmark anyway but thought I would check out Mailgun. It seems they have discontinued their forever free (up to 5,000 emails a month) plan and now only offer a free 30-day trial with a maximum of 100 emails.
do I need a plugin to be able to ad Elements to Appearance menu? Cause in current version of WP with a GeneratePress Child- theme I dont have such "Elements" option. thx in advance.
Looks like Elements is only available in premium version of GP. Is there another way how I can do it without to pay for premium?
UPDATE: After a couple of months on Wordify, I decided to cancel my account. Did this statement come out after you made this video? Have you changed to another company? If so, what did you end up deciding on? Great content!
Yes, this statement is a few months later. I, regretfully, move some sites back to Cloudways... but I put my most important sites on Rocket.net and it's been amazing. I guess you get what you pay for.
@@TheAdminBar I think that is the company Dave Foy recommended, can't remember...Well, if you stick with it for a while might be a good vid comparing hosting in 2024, it's so hard to choose and such an important decision, cause if you choose the wrong one and have to move it is a bit of a headache if you aren't very experienced....
This is so good, thank you. I do have a question about scripts manager. I am using Bricks builder for my pages. Would it be safe to turn off the script for wp-block-library on pages that are using Bricks?
Cool option! I wondering if it gives the opportunity to make GB button text look like "prefix + {post_title}" or using the same construction as a "data" attribute value.
Default Query block or even GP QLB doesn't have a "random" attribute. That's a big miss if one has a site where related posts section should show random posts and not the same list on every post. I know Advanced QUery Loops plugin does it, but should be part of the default block.
Dude, why you are not creating some cool patterns and sell them? Like is doing some guys with Kadence
I love GeneratePress, but global styles is hands down the worst feature. It’s much more convoluted than having everything in a global CSS style sheet.
I know this is a year old conversation but the email discussion in the first 12 minutes was interesting to me. I like how Jonathan doesn't do e-commerce or real estate specifically to avoid the problem of "emergency" emails. I don't do agency work (yet) but I have been in IT for more than 30 years and I've found that setting an expectation with the customer is very important. If they don't expect a response after hours, they often won't reach out. In a sense, we train our customers.
You make that sensationally simple and straightforward. Now I want to put block quotes on all my pages. :) Thanks, Kyle. I wish I'd seen this a couple of years ago.
52:15 no way will I use flex box for layout. I use it to align certain boxes within a container or maybe section/container depending on rare occasion.
You need to treat like aviation: I hear you 5 by 5
thx bro!
