• New site redirect

  Hi all, I'm building a new site via Google Sites to replace my pre-existing web.com site. I would like the URL to remain the same. What do I need to do to redirect to the new Google Site once finished? Thanks in advance! Source: 7 months ago

• Just bought a domain name, how do I connect it to my html code?

  I'm not sure how to connect the html code to the domain name? I don't see an interface from web.com (purchasing site) other than their expensive website building packages. I don't want to pay that amount for developing the website as the point is to code the entire thing by hand. Source: 10 months ago

• Worst revival to make with?

  Web (yes I'm not kidding its web.com). Source: 11 months ago

• Google Domains is going away, now owned by SquareSpace. Well that sucks.

  A good analogy is to look at Network Solutions. It's a horrible company that is owned by web.com. Web.com only cares about sales and marketing. The registrar aspects just a path to cross-sell you on bullshit services. Source: about 1 year ago

• Google domains closing, selling all assets and domains to Squarespace!

  This sucks. What I liked about Google Domains is that price remained the same year after year. Most registers are owned by a couple companies (web.com or something?) and every renewal it is some jacked up artificial price. $12 for the first year and somehow it is $36+ for the next? All the registers should be price regulated. Source: about 1 year ago

• Looking for Facebook/Nextdoor alternative for Civic League

  The final thought that comes to mind is BuddyPress, a plugin for WordPress sites. A pretty decent option if you already have a WordPress site setup. Source: over 1 year ago

• Child care - matching parents with foster parents

  As you're building a community site to allow parents and foster parents to create their own user profiles and potentially interact with each other, buddypress can do a lot of the heavy lifting for you. Source: over 1 year ago

• Best way to create a community website

  I'd probably be remiss if I didn't also mention buddypress, which some like for creating a social/community space based on WordPress. I much prefer a forum, but you should at least look into buddypress a little. Source: over 1 year ago

• Can Wordpress help me make a blog (image below explains) where users can select topics they’re interested in, add these topics to their profiles, have a calendar with important dates, author profiles and more. The image will explain more

  Yes you can make the site in Wordpress. Some development work needed for sure. Please check Buddypress https://buddypress.org/ This a free plugin by Automattic. Source: over 1 year ago

• New theme system is incoming! Basically you can create iOS & Android mobile apps or even Windows & MacOS programs with.. a WordPress Theme! You can self-host your data in your server.

  My long-term plan: Adding BuddyPress support ( https://buddypress.org/ ) so basically wordpress+quasar social system with groups, forums, private chats etc. Adding WooCommerce support ( https://woocommerce.com/ ) so e-commerce.. Source: over 1 year ago
