Thanks bro, I know it is not solely CSS, but do you have any idea on how to do one?

As in can u just gv me a little clue on how to do one?

u can use CSS transform/transition to achieve that

you can use htaccess to force download in the directory where the audio files are located

Hello friends!
Who can explain how this can be. I bought .com last year and I just wanted to renew. But I was very surprised when I saw that the renewal price is several times higher. Why has the price increased so much and not remained the same?

don't you know that dollar is now more expensive.

talk2hb1:
Not catching up at all, Drupal wey no get user reach am has refactor their code from drupal8, it cost WordPress nothing to build from scratch and still maintain their name. WordPress spaghetti code is a piss off, I stop doing WordPress 3years ago wahala too much

.

They are trying their best if they make drastic changes a lot of themes and plugins might break:

I also think you should reconsider your decision to stop doing wordpress .

according to statistics, WordPress usage is more that 38% of all websites and it is people like you with vast php experience that will benefit most by using it

@karleb Thanks for the info

Karleb:
No mind am. WordPress is catching up with what exactly? Which few flaws?

Imagine WordPress still doing "array()" in 2020?

They still use underscore to separate method, variable and class name? Our people get carried away because it has a nice admin panel.

WordPress will make fast money but it won't keep anyone in the game for long.

i don't see anything wrong with using underscore to separate names. (i agree using namespace is easier or using classes)

as for the array() issue pls educate me what should we use instead.

Chingle6:
Please guys I really need insight on this topic... Why will I want to go through the stress of HTML CSS JavaScript php and some other language instead of using word press or wix

Unfortunately for you to be able to use WordPress, you need to learn all of the above

unless you only intend to download and install themes/plugins.

johnhood:
Please I'm a novice in programming.
My main aim of the JavaScript snippet below is I want to declare a global function and use the value for my second function but when I ran the code it did not work. Please I appreciate if someone can point out the error for me.

function fun1() {var n=6.7569;
var ns=n.toFixed(2 );}
function fun2() {var t=prompt.window("what is your number?" );
var ps=document.getElementById("ut2" ).innerHTML=t*fun1()}; }

2errors

1. it is window.prompt not prompt.windoww

2, you have to add return ns in fun1

Karleb:
I won't. My primary language is PHP and I will say it again, WordPress is horrible.

Everyone has moved on to OOP, MVC, Design Patterns but WordPress is still jampacking model, controller and view together. Just take a look at wp-login.php or wp-register.php and you will develop instant headache.

Imagine declaring global variables in 2020? What happened to putting those in a config or environment file?
Why use function_exists and class_exists to avoid class and method collision when you can use namespace?

...is it the spaghetti code I want to talk about?


PS: All these are from a developer's point of view.

i totally agree with every single issue you raised but WordPress is slowly catching up.

it has to be gradual because backward compatibility.

You should not say "WordPress is horrible", it has a few flaws just like any other framework.

Karleb:
I've played around a bit with WordPress (I don't know much about wix) but I can tell you categorically from a developer point of view that WordPress is horrible!

WordPress actually does what it does best. It's easy to use and install and all that but if you've ever worked with Laravel, Django or Rails you'd know WordPress is shiit!


Sidenote: I am currently learning WordPress theme and plugin development

i am quite sure that when you've finished learning how to build themes and plugins you'll come back to edit your comment

EngtTemmy:
I have an HTML template which i want to convert to WordPress theme. Though i have converted it already, but i don't know how to convert the contact form area to collect the data from the users and save to the database/admin panel on WordPress.
I need someone who can do this for me, it's going to be a paid job.
Thanks

i can help/teach you how to write a plugin that will do that easily

talk2hb1:
I guess I see opportunity here, I guess someone should start the job of vetting and recommending developers, of course with charges from both party

i totally agree with you

explorer250:
if you can actually write themes and plugins, then you can actually write code and might not need WordPress to do the job!

You might still need it because it makes the job a lot easier just like all other frameworks.

Building a site from scratch requires a lot of energy, time planning etc and you will definitely encounter bugs (frustration & headache).

and to make matters worse many clients are not willing to pay good money(esp here in ibadan).

So why not save yourself the stress and use wordpress.

explorer250:
A little intro about myself. I am Clinton a freelance full stack developer.

With the increasing number of fake developers and scammers littered all over this section, it is a source of worry to some of us who get the bulk of our clients from this section.

I have come to realize that there are reasons why developer seeking clients get scammed and i am going to list out these reasons.

1. You want a great job for a very cheap price: This is the top reason why most clients get scammed and I believe that over 90% of the scams recorded on Nairaland is because of this. I keep on speaking on this. Programming is not "easy". When you want a developer to integrate top of the earth features into your website and all you can offer is a cheap amount that cant even fuel the generator, my brother, you will definitely get scammed! and you know what? I don't feel pity for this category of victims because they deserve it(hey, that is my personal opinion).

2. The developer cant really do the job: I personally don't believe in "collect the job, learn how to do it later" . So many People are claiming to be developers with incredible programming skills but in reality most of them are just WordPress theme installers. As a client you should know that WordPress cant really do much and hiring these set of developers and putting very high expectations on them will definitely end in disaster

3. The person you are trying to hire is an outright scammer: So many people in this section are actually scammers "looking for their daily bread" . What actually prompted me to create this thread is because I just saw a notorious scammer bidding for a job in this section and i know the client will definitely fall for him because the scammer usually offer incredibly cheap services.

How to avoid getting scammed

I have just one solution to this scam problem and I discovered it reduces the possibility or probability of getting scammed by over 95%(not a statement of fact but it is my opinion).

Subject any developer you are hiring to a test! No scammer will have the time to start solving algorithms and answering questions in Php or JavaScript he doesn't know because he wants to scam you.

I have been doing a job for the past 2 months and before i was hired by my client i was subjected to a test from devskiller. I don't think any scammer or quack will have the patience or skill needed to take any online test. Even if they do, they will definitely fail! You can google about devskiller or any other skill testing platform and i think the tests are free. So as a potential employer make sure to subject your potential employee to a test to ascertain if he actually possesses the skills he claims to have.

In summary. As an employer, pay well for jobs and test the skills and authenticity of your employee!
GETTING RID OF SCAMMERS IN THIS SECTION IN THIS SECTION IS A COLLECTIVE EFFORT. PLEASE SUPPORT IT !

nice article

but i want to correct your statement that "wordpress can't do much".

when you learn how to build themes/plugins you'll realize that WordPress can do a lot.

tensazangetsu20:
Do we have web developers in Nigeria that build and sell custom WordPress and Shopify themes on places like envato marketplace?

most of them build customized themes for clients.
