I renewed my subscription with card, not apple pay. Just added my card numbers and paid.
1 week later I got a transaction from Walmart.
We don't have Walmart in my country.
And the card used is a brand new virtual card that I only used in movie box.
Be careful, pay with crypto or other ways.
Hello,
I want to start building my own custom WordPress theme from scratch rather than relying on pre-made themes.
I want to avoid having dozens of plugins installed just to achieve basic functionality, and I’d like the theme to be lightweight, maintainable, and compatible with the wider WordPress ecosystem.
I already have experience with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP, but I haven’t built a complete WordPress theme before, so I’m trying to understand what I should plan for before writing any code.
My goal is to create a theme that:
Follows WordPress coding standards and best practices
Works well with popular plugins
Is fully responsive
Has good performance and Core Web Vitals scores
Supports SEO plugins
Supports WooCommerce
Supports Elementor, Gutenberg, and other major page builders
Supports custom post types and custom fields
Is translation-ready and multilingual friendly
Supports dark mode if possible
Is accessible (WCAG compliant)
Is easy to update and extend later
For those of you who have built WordPress themes professionally:
What are the most important requirements I should implement from the beginning?
Which WordPress features should every modern theme support?
What mistakes do beginners commonly make when building themes?
Are there specific hooks, functions, or theme supports that are considered mandatory today?
How do you ensure compatibility with Elementor, WooCommerce, and other major plugins without adding unnecessary complexity?
Would you recommend starting with a classic theme, a block theme, or a hybrid approach in 2026?
Any advice, checklists, documentation, or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated.
I am the creator of a chrome extension with almost 150.000 users , out of 70-80.000 are active users.
The extension generates a passive income of 250-300 dollars per month with zero marketing.
Unfortunately I don't have the time to advertise it or upgrade it.
How much could I sell it? And any platforms that I could sell it?
