Great to see you getting back up on the KZbin horse

[@WPCasts]

Thanks!

[@chuksokie1213]

Your minimalistic WP setup for tutorials helps a lot. I frequent your channel often whenever I have to fool around with "functions.php" lool. No one does it like you. You were missed. So happy your back.

[@WPCasts]

Great to hear! Happy to be back!

[@coltonherschberger8931]

Dude! I found your channel about a month and a half ago and I can safely say you have single-handedly changed everything about Wordpress development for me, you're an amazing teacher! I got so excited when I woke up and saw you posted a new video, I hope you keep it up! Thanks again for everything man, you're the best.

[@WPCasts]

Thanks! I’m so glad I’ve been able to help somehow :)

[@nicolaskeith8945]

Great to see you back here, Alex. Your videos are some of the very best for WP devs on the utubez

[@igortot01]

Awesome, i think that there's no other channel posting vids with info like this. So helpful! Thanks man!

[@neobabis]

Yeah! Alex is back! Thank you Alex!

[@salehalnaggar7926]

Great to see you back again, your amazing tutorials helped me a lot.

[@elizabethsullivan1894]

This is incredibly useful as I'm just starting to deep dive into WordPress!

[@tobisalami]

I've missed your tutorials! So much!

[@lukedharrison326]

[@mrlolalot531]

Great to see that you're back!

[@tomdevisser8273]

Oh hey you're finally back, missed your videos :)

[@MirkoGosch]

Awesome tutorial, could have kept on watching for a lot longer. Inspiring and of great value. I am looking forward to the continuation. Keep the good stuff coming. Thx

[@carlompg]

Hey love ur channel, specially the headless content! Another thing that I usually do on my new WP installs is lock the rest API to authenticated users only or disable it altogether as most common setup does not use the rest api. Also I disable avatars in the admin panel.

[@manavbudhia]

Glad to see you after long time... 😊😊

[@WPCasts]

Thank you so much 😀

[@rayediaz]

I was waiting for your videos 👏🏻

[@WPCasts]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@tedspens]

Less certainly is more, especially regarding WordPress. Those are some great tips. If installing WP on more than a few sites, I would get the first one setup then make a backup, and use the backup to launch new sites. At least until the next version, but then just make a new updated backup. It's just a thought. Thanks for the tips.

[@sanal3492]

I am seeing tons of svg's under the html tag in the page source, any idea what those are for?

[@BuntyWP]

Learning lot of things from you. Keep sharing

[@JimKernix]

I have those 2 remove_action lines for emojis, but I also have remove_action( 'admin_print_scripts', 'print_emoji_detection_script' ); and remove_action( 'admin_print_styles', 'print_emoji_styles' );. I found that code somewhere after googling how to remove that from the head. I assume those 2 are for the admin area. Any problems with having those lines in functions.php?

[@CarlMadsen]

Good stuff, thank you. Exactly what I was looking for.

[@abenjamin13]

Greatly appreciate the speed tips thank you

[@YeahNoTellTheTruth]

Awesome. I really love these kind of tips. Thanks.

[@SeferDemirci]

Welcome again 🙏

[@elenaandreeva6120]

Thank you for the tough recommendation!

[@yardchopuniverse7339]

Hey I have random question. I tried using the woocommerce API to connect to supplier. Woocommerce was connected but I’m getting a error thst the API might be blocked. Would this be due to Wordpress or would it be my hosting provider? I’ve heard someone say some about the DDOS blocking it. If that’s the case whst can I do to let these pass

[@AVIVRO2]

nice vid ! thanx for sharing

[@PaulMcCannWebBuilder]

Thanks! Might as well also add the remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator'); to remove the WP version from the head if you haven't done it already.

[@teazmo]

Glad to see you back. Does the comment-reply section also remove the comment section in the admin?

[@WPCasts]

Just the frontend

[@adarshakshat3046]

Hi Alex Bhaiya, Been following your videos to upgrade my skills during my first job, very much thank for that. Can you please guide me towards software you are using for recording your videos?

[@theman7050]

Ur backk!! :D

[@JimKernix]

What are your thoughts on to hide max-image-preview:large directive to the robots meta tag with: remove_filter('wp_robots', 'wp_robots_max_image_preview_large');

[@oZenakos]

Thanks this was useful

[@thomasschwinn1512]

great, do you have something that make wordpress stop creating a '-scaled.jpg' when a jpeg is bigger than a certaib size? I always find a script somewhere that works for some months and then it just stops. And I see always people commenting somewhere with the same problem. thx

[@xSalamz]

Happy new year Sir.

[@WPCasts]

Thanks, you too!

[@BuntyWP]

This is great idea.

[@ConorTreacy-BigRedSEO]

Hey Alex, good stuff! What was the editor you were using? I've used Sublime Text for years, but the popup on the WordPress function is pretty handy on your screen. Are you in Sublime also, and maybe an extra package installed? Just curious. Thanks

[@BobCorraro]

This is useful, thanks

[@ravi-gadhiya]

Can you make video on how to add Wordpress post on favorite list without login system using Local Storage OR Cookies. On WordPress post listing and detail page, we have option to add post on favorites, and all posts are can we be visible on separate favorite page. Thanks

[@air961]

thanks, man!

[@shakalbadlalega]

Should wp developers switch to javascript programming as node js rising?

[@woutertt]

Worth learning for sure, but there's jobs in both sectors.

[@user-fc6hc4xr8i]

WP is good, but the time has come.

[@EngineerMizan]

Hey, your all video also great. you can make a image optimizer plugin for learn with advance functionally. Thank you

[@user-fc6hc4xr8i]

Hi man. Do you want to make a video about Strapi? I think it will be interesting for those who knew Wordpress and want to move forward. Tnx!

[@ravi-gadhiya]
