My current stack is GeneratePress plus a small custom plugin for tweaks.
Dark mode via prefers-color-scheme is easier than I expected.
Full-site editing is powerful but clients keep breaking their own layouts with it.

I will start: reheated pasta and zero regrets.
Go on, share yours. Rules: no politics, keep it fun.
Maybe this has been discussed before, but I could not find anything recent.

Started three series this month and finished none of them — a new personal record.
My vinyl shelf is small but every record earns its place.

I have been lurking for a few weeks and finally made an account.
Overall the forum feels fast and the layout is easy on the eyes.
Looking forward to learning from everyone here.
One small suggestion: a toggle between light and dark mode would be lovely.
Would love to hear how you all handle this.

Hooks are the heart of MyBB plugins — is where everything starts.
Returning true from a by-value hook replaces the argument; by-reference hooks mutate in place — check the call site.
I keep a list of essential plugins and thought I would share it here.
xmlhttp.php is the cleanest way to add AJAX endpoints to MyBB.
Would love to hear how you all handle this.

Finally finished the rebuild after months of collecting parts one sale at a time.
Undervolting dropped my temps 10°C with zero performance loss.
My old GPU still holds up, but the new titles are starting to push it.
Went from air to an AIO and the noise difference at load is night and day.
Any tips, experiences or strong opinions welcome.

Code:
:root { --accent: #4f7cff; }Container queries changed how I build card layouts — the component adapts to its slot, not the viewport.
I did a bit of searching but could not find a recent thread on this, so here we go.

I debloat Windows with a small script and a restore point — never had an issue.

I put every site behind the same free CDN tier and forgot about DDoS worries.
Staging is just a subdomain plus a database copy — nothing fancy, works fine.
Learned the hard way that an untested backup is a Schrödinger backup.
My monitoring setup alerts me within a minute of downtime and costs nothing.

The upgrade script is reliable but a backup costs you nothing.
I switched the cache store to Redis and the ACP feels snappier now.
— always check for this guard in your own plugin files.
Make sure you take both a files and a database backup before upgrading.

:has() finally lets me style parents without JavaScript, and support is good now.
I design in the browser almost exclusively now; mockups only for client sign-off.
— CSS variables made my theming life so much easier.

Never let WordPress send mail natively on a VPS — use SMTP or a transactional service.
Every build of mine starts with the same six plugins and grows from there.
I stopped using page builders once the block editor matured.

Everything is custom except the CMS, and the CSS is all variables so theming is trivial.
Traffic is tiny so far but the feedback from early users has been great.

My rule of thumb: if a plugin has not been updated in a year, it is a liability.
After juggling a dozen WP sites for clients, I have opinions on pretty much everything WordPress.
