My first website project in 2021.
Finally finished. And because i have not been designing or creating more wordpress websites recently… i wasn’t aware of this SSL certificate issues that my own webhost godaddy didn’t have unless you buy a certificate. Costs an arm and a leg, i tell you. And propagating it was a nightmare. Spent 4 days with their tech support promising me at least 24 hours for it to work. Each time i am with one of them on a chat- all of them promised it will be fixed. 3 times i had to make them promise. what’s weird is that it was just supposed to auto-install. But noooooo!
Anyways… the way this wordpress themes work is ridiculous. They give it to you for free and then realize it doesn’t work like how you want it, then end up buying the pro version. On top of that… i got the pro version after promising this and that with the paid theme. Guess what… they haven’t updated the theme for 2 years and won’t reply to my support ticket.
Lesson learned.
I don’t have enough web projects to spend time on wordpress and explore what it has to offer. I AM SURE this software has almost become the INDUSTRY STANDARD for easy content management AND simple website presence, but i swear — every time i peek into wordpress.org, there is always something new happening.
The digital and virtual world has grown so fast exponentially like COVID – and i can’t keep up.

Cos why not?
