Played around with the template in this 2025 theme. Block theme kinda life saver for non-coders. If you managed to understand the block purpose and how it could play well with your theme and what it could do to achieve what you want it will do well.

What i could suggest is, dont touch the original template that comes with the theme. Make a duplicate or create new one and copy paste from the original them start from there. If anything happened, you have something to revert back into.

I updated the status template here, thinking of create separate template for articles. Simply achievable, just need to spend time to test to see if its fit with what you want. What bother me is this cache plugin, which make my changes dont really reflect in real time. Sometimes i need to purge all first then i could see the changes. Maybe i could just uninstall this cache plugin first the re-install back. Maybe i could just install this one plugin that bypass all this cache thing.

Been working on this for hours now, but it still not working didnt give the result that i was expecting, time to put a stop, break. Maybe gonna give. Technically got what i want but its good to have this thing that i’m crashing my head on.

Normally how many attempts it will take for you in working with chatgpt or grok to get your code working? the challenges with them in working with wordpress plugins is they tend to create their own function and not using the official/native function that comes with the plugin. They just assume the function by naming the function with the plugin’s name. The tricks sometimes we need to find the plugin documentation link and include in your prompt (to get them read/scan it and use the correct function). Or sometimes i just past the whole plugin’s code in the prompt to make it work.

I’m currently working on this site that primarily using LifterLMS plugin. I’m trying to turn most the event, trigger and activity in the plugin programmatically. For example, to complete a lesson, normally user need to click the “Mark Complete” button to make the system mark that particular lesson Completed. But I want user to do certain action within the lesson then once that action completed, the lesson also will automatically mark as Completed. ChatGPT being quite helpful. I got Grok to help as well.

When you spent almost 5 hours to create that dream tool that you just mumbled about last 60 min, then out of sudden all you hard word got wiped out due to, i dont know what happened. Make you question what sin you have done that make you deserve this kind of surprise and make you question your existence.

I need a tool to record time spent for reports that my team is working on, and the tool need to record time, preferably, specific for each report and segregate between time spent during office hour and out of office hour. At the end decided to just create one using Excel and VBA with the help, of course, ChatGPT. Its working fine but the concern was on sharing and collaboration part. Seems like if i put that excel file in Sharepoint, there’s potential conflict in data entry and user maybe cannot insert data at the same time. What a shame though.

With vibe coding seems like lots of premium and pro features of plugins are achievable. Thinking of moral and ethical but what can we say because it is simply achievable now. Creating clone plugin also from scratch and from fork also is no longer impossible for non coder like me.

Tbh i only remember 1 or 2 teachers from school; those that only gave impact on my life. When friends from school talked about teachers i don’t really participate. Because i dont really remember much about them. Some that i still remember already passed away. Obviously, i think if i ever meet one now, none of them will remember me. Despite i was one of top students in school. But nevertheless happy teachers day for those celebrating today. Done some flower wrapping for my kids to bring to school for their teacher.

sometimes how delightful i fell when this house don’t have internet connection. it feels refreshing, make us “connected” again in old fashion haha

Happened to have in laws that neglect their parents, with the spirit mother’s day still, i hope that you doing well with your mother, father and siblings, don’t just because your spouse dislike them (or asked you to be so), you ignore them in your life. You are better than that
