Wpwatercooler - Weekly Wordpress

Does WordPress have a naming problem? Is everything just going to be called JetPack in a few years? What about WordPress.com? Full Site Editor? Site Builder, Page Builder, Cosmic (we’re pulling for you Paul), Page Builder, GutenPage? We think WordPress has some naming issues we need to get addressed and the community is taking different sides to this issue. Here is ours. There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things.

The tangled Web we WordPress. This week on WPwatercooler we’re continuing a discussion we started last week on episode 412 which made its way onto Twitter where we discussed with Brian Gardner and Bill Erickson on using WordPress Full Site Editor and if it’s ready for Agencies to use.

Honestly, we were going to talk about forms this week and realized it was episode 404 and just had to cover errors. Hopefully, we won’t just be discussing our favorite 404 error pages online or what is the best way to disable all the WordPress plugins to figure out what is triggering an error. Or the magic way of just saving your permalinks and it fixes everything. I guess I’m getting ahead of myself, I write these descriptions hours before the show gets made and usually change it after the fact. 21 Stunning 404 Pages to Convert Lost Visitors [2021] 404-Page not found – Pagely Creating an Error 404 Page « WordPress Codex moz.com Redirection HTTP Status Dogs Panel Jason Tucker – jasontucker.blog Steve Zehngut – zeek.com Sé Reed – sereedmedia.com Jason Cosper – jasoncosper.com Show Sponsors Beatles who?
