The Loop

Where humor doesn’t work.

interesting question, but IMO just another take on the old "every form has to have nonce" myth
Nov 13 03:27
lol, now matt went all bat shit publishing private information about sites which were hosted at WPE. guess he can claim that it is not 100% private, but this is getting so so close to someone calling EU regulators to get involved.

some times there just no good answer, some of them should have just been offtopic in the first place
Oct 29 17:18
:)
Oct 29 17:18
and how much content on the web and especially wordpress look like that? did I ever want cols for my blog posts? never
Oct 29 17:16
and in any case it is an edge usage, served by page builders
Oct 29 17:15
could not maybe, but more likely core didn't want to invest in it
Oct 29 17:14
and tiny now is ofc a way better editor than you get in core because there is no incentive to upgrade it
Oct 29 17:13
what does gutenberg offers that wasn't possible to do in tiny, and how often people use it in that way
Oct 29 17:12
same same for this discussion
Oct 29 17:12
elementor is the toll for page building
Oct 29 17:11
oh, why would anyone want to use gutenberg?
Oct 29 17:11
whether you want you don't want to SEO that post
Oct 29 17:10
look at what yoast do to your post editing UX
Oct 29 17:10
the question was raised back then, maybe it is still, but probably people just install yoast and don't think anything is missing
Oct 29 17:09
matt decided years ago that SEO is not part of wordpress
Oct 29 17:08
*force
Oct 29 17:08
if you "fore" people to install plugins you have no control on how the UI actually looks
Oct 29 17:07
yeh
Oct 29 17:04
(bonus for removing the content title from post editing, maybe for some posts I wanr a preface after which the title is displayed, why do I need to code where the H1 is)
Oct 29 17:02
there are basic things related to SEO, title is just the most important one
Oct 29 17:02
how many plugins do those sites use?
Oct 29 17:01
don't use SEO? don't disable xmlrps?
Oct 29 17:00
you can still enumerate user names for god sake
Oct 29 17:00
not realy, out of the box it is just an incomplete toy
Oct 29 16:59
user oriented OS
Oct 29 16:59
so the OS will be usable
Oct 29 16:58
can you imagine using an OS, that tells you, ok now first thing go search and install some app
Oct 29 16:58
microdata? most likely should not be in core
Oct 29 16:57
SEO title, not the content title
Oct 29 16:56
inserting microdata could have also been done in core, that standard is old now
Oct 29 16:55
setting a title per post is not broad. "There are many options" can not be an excuse to doing nothing
Oct 29 16:53
a product should serve 80% of the users. How can you pretend wordpress serving anyone without support of SEO
Oct 29 16:52
isn't the moto of wordpress development is "decisions not options"? ;) what core has done is to make the users mandatory select options by selecting plugins
Oct 29 16:51
ok, it is a product, just not a good one
Oct 29 16:49
it is about whether wordpress is a product. right now it is not as you need to install 10 plugins to make it functional enough for the web of 2024
Oct 29 16:48
comments should be moved to a plugin
Oct 29 16:48
form builder should be part of core as well
Oct 29 16:45
ACF still exist without the functionality being in core
Oct 29 16:45
and I am not a very imaginative person
Oct 29 16:44
backup not part of core
Oct 29 16:44
SEO not part of core
Oct 29 16:43
categorizing images not part of core yet I guess
Oct 29 16:43
you keep post information for images just for those attachment pages
Oct 29 16:42
whatever was the cause of the decision it is wrong one
Oct 29 16:42
the opinion is of yoast
Oct 29 16:41
that decision was probably based on the need of wp.com
Oct 29 16:41
ye the root problem is the design decision not to have a different table per post
Oct 29 16:40
there should not be attachment pages at all
Oct 29 16:40
in many sites, the easiest way to improve performance is to delete unused images
