  • (Quote) I'm testing and playing with the limits. Will post an extensive report ("review"). From the preliminary results - CPU is by far the greatest bottleneck for WordPress and forums (the stuff running on PHP). The rest are less critica…
  • (Quote) If you are moving to a cheaper plan, double-check > @Ympker said: (Quote) Yes, but if one website gets hacked, or has any other problems - every other website is likely to have problems. Again, related to viruses and hacks - fixing one w…
  • I've used BackWPup with great results, but such plugins are resource hogs. Besides, backup of WP is best done by the hosting server, not by WP backing itself up using a plugin. That's less efficient and more likely to cause errors (in my opinion and…
  • (Quote) Yes - no email confirmation even. I've sent them the feedback with suggestions - not that I expect anyone to actually read it (but I'd be happy to get pleasantly surprised). :)
  • (Quote) Ditto - thanks to your shared experience, I've finally decided to pay for the license. The website-provided info was too unclear for me (colour me dumb :) ).
  • (Quote) A lot longer, more tedious, but with instructions needed for cloning, not just migration (i.e. domain change): WordPress manual backup WordPress manual migration/cloning I've been using that for years, until @Ympker told me "the trick…
  • (Quote) Unless they change the prices (and/or resources again) - which seems to happen every few months :) my Enterprise Entry Reseller renewal should be under $ 330 per three years (with the discount, cut from 80% to 50%, but still a lot better tha…
  • (Quote) AIO "trick" stopped working? Hmm - that plugin has been updated 2 weeks ago. Now I'm not 100% sure whether I've last used it with the latest, or with the previous version. Would have to double-check. Does Updraft Plus free work fo…
  • Since you explained the "trick" for AIO WP Migration free version, I've been using that mostly. Especially for cloning websites - I still do migrations mostly manually. :) And still have WP CLI on my to-learn list. Here's the step-by-ste…
  • In case anyone else finds this interesting, here are the resource usage stats - total, for my entire reseller hosting account. Before, and after switching from Advanced Reseller to Enterprise Entry Reseller: (Image) With a full report in my HostM…
  • (Quote) I'm keeping an eye on the new reseller resource limits performance - to see if I'll hit the total account limit through regular use (2.5 vCPU, Enterprise Entry Reseller package).
  • (Quote) Here's my reasoning: The way I've configured it, AMP maintenance is done 100% automatically. Zero extra hassle. :) Which is the point of my starting this topic (and making the tutorial article). And it provides a super-fast user experienc…
  • (Quote) Well, for me, HostMantis reseller is still "the best" - i.e. what I'm using in spite of all the price/resource fluctuation (my HostMantis experience, documented :) ) Of all the providers I've been with (and even more I've had the e…
  • (Quote) For caching - LiteSpeed is where it's at. The way things are now - if the hosting server isn't LiteSpeed, I'd seriously consider switching providers (it's not be all end all, but it is very, very good - as long as the provider doesn't mess …
  • IMO, AMP is not a replacement for good (mobile) optimization. It's just an addition. I've seen stupider things done "for SEO" - "SEO" (and "social networks) is ruining the Internet, piling it with garbage. :) ( my long-win…
  • Yup - it's confirmed. :) Using my Advanced Reseller hosting account for an example: Old policy: potentially available resources - 75 x 1 vCPU core (if I really used that on a server with even 32 cores, it would be in trouble with my account alon…
  • (Quote) For caching, I prefer LiteSpeed. This is my article on WordPress caching options. In other words: CDN sort of comes "on top," or "alongside" caching, but it doesn't replace it. Even with Cloudflare set up like that, I th…
  • (Quote) If that is the case (waiting for confirmation), then Enterprise Entry reseller hosting - at $24/Mo, with 2.5 vCPU and 50 cPanel limit, is better for my use than Reseller Advanced - at $30/Mo with 1.5 vCPU and 75 cPanel limit. Considering th…
  • (Quote) I love the concept! :) Sacrificing a bit of the flashy design for the essence: the contents (article text and images) being loaded more efficiently. In the 7th chapter - "AMP ethical aspect" - I talked more about the whole concep…
  • (Quote) I opened a (low-priority) ticket to ask for clarification. If it is how I hope it is - with the Advanced reseller plan (with 1.5 vCPU per cPanel) I could, for example: set the cycling website to have 1.5 vCPU set my blog that no one reads t…
  • (Quote) It's all configured to take money - like everything else. Right from the start. Everything is free... until you need a WooCommerce webshop or a multilingual website - then 99% of the plugins and themes require you to pay, or code it all you…
  • (Quote) > (Quote) A few weeks ago I had a website go 50 to 100% CPU (full-retard! :) ). If that were the case, wouldn't all the other websites have been affected? I hadn't noticed any problems with any of the other websites. Still, I hadn't a…
  • Keeping it simple for now and sticking with Cloudflare free tier. I've tested a plugin that enables real CDN function for free: WP Cloudflare Super Page Cache
  • (Quote) No problem - it makes sense. Having a separate thread for each topic. That would make it easier to find the needed info later on.
  • (Quote) It's not explained clearly enough. It could mean at least two different things. For me, that would be a big step-down in the available resources - if you get say 1 vCPU and 3 GB of RAM to share between all the cPanel accounts. On the other…
  • An "idiot-friendly" (just how I like and need it :) ) step-by-step tutorial on how to add Google AdSense to a WordPress website. I've also covered the AdSense for AMP website versions - for those who use it.
  • (Quote) That doesn't sound good. Were you able to retrieve the backups, or get to log into your cPanel/DirectAdmin? Was it a shared, or a reseller hosting account? On that note - some providers (Veerotech for one) are fine with a user hitting their…
  • (Quote) In my experience, HostMantis has been very reliable (uptime, stability, even performance). Highly reputable (and a lot more expensive) hosting providers don't offer such packages. I've asked - had a project that needed more resources and wa…
  • (Quote) My bad - cPanel. DA is still not mature enough in my opinion. The "Entry" option looks good if you have a few websites that need more resources (2.5 CPU - since CPU seems to be the bottleneck with WordPress website performance, at…
  • How I built my website - theme, plugin choice, custom code etc: https://io.bikegremlin.com/22393/how-i-built-this-wordpress-website/ * As close as it gets to step-by-step without being too long. :)
  • (Quote) Updated: '. $updated_date . ' '; (Quote) Oh, I had tried that - that way the function doesn't do the job (but the error code does disappear :) ). It is my understanding that the variable should be defined first as an empty string: $cus…
  • (Quote) I'd be happy to, just please post the complete, edited code (idiot friendly) :) Here's the faulty original: // BEGIN Last-updated displayfunction wpb_last_updated_date( $content ) { $u_time = get_the_time('U'); $u_modified_time = g…
  • (Quote) From what I could gather - it's been a bad piece of code from the start. Just didn't get any warnings about it until now. And some themes and plugins seem to make those warnings disappear. :)
  • Here's the full, thorough report: Strange WordPress PHP 8.0 error
  • @PHP_Backend and @nickelodeon ... and the others who've contributed and helped: I am trying to do it all cautiously, by the book. Testing it first in a staging environment, staging on the production server, one production website, then the other pr…
  • A "Solomon's solution" - I've removed all the PHP and added this to the style.css: /* BEGIN updated date showing only */.posted-on .updated { display: inline-block;}.posted-on .updated + .entry-date { display: none;}.posted-on .upda…
  • (Quote) That didn't help with the error. :( Didn't hurt, nor take much time to poke a bit. :) Edit - PS: Removing only the first one reports the error at the line of the second one. However, removing the second dot prevents the function from doin…
  • Removing the dots in both places removes the error, but the function no longer works. Removing only the first one doesn't remove the error. What I mean: $custom_content .= '<p class and $custom_content .= $content; Those two .= replaced with j…
  • Thank you - I'll give it a try. Interesting (for me at least): The function does its job with no problems, even when that error gets reported in the root directory. When I install and activate a plugin called “Subscribe To Comments Reloaded,” the…
  • (Quote) Same setup - plugins, themes, custom code. One website has problems with PHP 8.0 - the others work fine. Well - no problems, all functions great in the frontend - but I get that PHP error in the error log. The function my custom code does …
