Having used several Thrive Themes products for my websites over the years, I thought it would be good to write a review about their WordPress themes, page builders, and plugins.
I can honestly say that discovering Thrive Themes several years ago was a turning point in my online business. Things have evolved since then, but I am still a happy user of various Thrive products.
The internet is packed with WordPress blogging tools, services, and add-ons promising to make blogging easier. Over the years, I’ve tried (and paid for) more than a few. Some were worth it, others not so much.
In this guide, I’m sharing the tools I currently use (and trust), along with a few I’ve used in the past and still recommend—from web hosting and plugins to keyword research and email marketing.
With the release of WordPress 5.5, users now have image lazy loading turned on by default in their websites. That’s right, lazy loading is now a standard feature in WordPress that you can’t just turn off.
I personally don’t like this at all, and in this article I am going to explain how you can disable lazy loading in WordPress. Plus, I am going to give you two reasons why you should consider doing this.
If you’ve read my review of GeneratePress, then you know I’m a big fan of this WordPress theme. It’s fast, it’s super customizable, and most importantly, it’s as robust as it gets.
One question I get asked quite a lot is how to actually add the Google Analytics tracking code in GeneratePress.
It’s no secret that WordPress websites attract tons of spam comments, comments that often make no sense whatsoever.
A reputable anti-spam plugin such as Akismet does a really good job at filtering these out, so that you don’t need to waste your time moderating them.
But WordPress websites, especially the ones with a decent level of accumulated authority, also attract comments that aren’t necessarily spam.
Many WordPress bloggers have recently been asking how to redirect their author archives link to their About page.
By default, a blog post author link will point to the author archives page, which doesn’t add much value to the reader when there’s only one author on the site.
When you publish reviews of products on your website, it’s important to also include Structured Data markup along with the reviews.
Google will use that Schema markup to reward you with the Review Snippet in the search results, which can greatly increase the CTR to your site.
You can either use a WordPress plugin to add that Structured Data to your content, or you can do it manually. This article explains the manual way, which is my preference.
GeneratePress is a free, lightweight theme that can be extended by installing a premium plugin that allows you to add essential features.
One of the many things you can do with the GP premium plugin is using Hook Elements to “hook” your own custom code into various areas of the theme without changing core theme files.
