I built a thing for #WordPress a couple of weeks ago. 😎 Not huge, but might help some users. So links on most WP sites are kinda boring... usually just underlines or a hover color. 🥱 But there's actually way more you can do using some modern CSS. Hoverly helps with that 👇 hoverly.wpwork.shop

I used to forget stuff before hitting “publish” on #WordPress posts...alt text, broken links, SEO details. So I made a pre-publish checklist. Simple, structured, and it's saved me many times. 🎥 In this video, I share the exact list I've used for years: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn8l...

Every time I set up a new #WordPress site, I install the same plugins. One by one. Over and over. It adds up. 😮‍💨 I finally found a better way: ✅ Create a reusable plugin bundle ✅ Install it in a few clicks Here's how I do it (video): www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMXp...

WP-CLI is my secret weapon for #WordPress. Why click through endless dashboards when you can install WP, set settings, add plugins, manage users, and even create dummy content all from the terminal? Just dropped a beginner’s guide on #WPCLI: www.youtube.com/watch?v=L13Y...

What a wild ride! 🚀 I tested 16 #WordPress hosts without caching to see their real speed. Some crushed it, others dropped by 2000% 😱. Caching hides slow servers, but real-time interactions (ecommerce, memberships) don’t lie. Full report on WPShout:

I write about #AI topics frequently. One theme that consistently pops up is the “future threat” of AI. Whether it’s AI taking jobs or eventually reaching AGI/ASI, it’s often presented as a looming threat. But the reality is that AI has already been doing massive damage. wpshout.com/when-algorit...

#Google now requires you to have #JavaScript enabled if you want to use Google Search. Is it for user security or consolidating the market and making it hard on #SEO tools? I'll leave the answer to you. Here's more on the topic: wpshout.com/google-now-r...

By default, #WordPress doesn’t let you assign a custom 404 page on classic themes. Why? No idea. But I’ve got a solution! 🫡 Here’s how to bypass the limitation with a simple code snippet. It’s a literal 10-sec fix! Set your awesome 404 page #design in place here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvCL...

I was excited to try OpenAI’s Sora #AI, but it’s not available in Poland yet. Luckily, Martin from our team in the US reviewed it - and while us in the EU might be eager, we’re probably not missing much. 🎥 Mostly fun but far from practical. Read his take: wpshout.com/open-ai-sora...
