    Thanks for the presentation, very interesting plugins. I am especially interested in the caching plugins. I have been asked to rebuild a site for my wife's drama group. I'll have to browse for an appropriate theme (or consider recommendations). I'd be interested in any plugins for addition of show photos if such a thing exists, ie these are photos from shows staged in the past and potentially future shows... I'm using Elementor Pro and Oceanwp. Thanks.

  • @mattsheekstri
    @mattsheekstri Před 5 lety

    I love Divi but the contact form is inadequate for a major technical reason: the form submissions do not get saved in the Wordpress backend, you only receive an email. This is a major problem if you ever have a deliverability issue. In addition, it's not going to work well if you get a lot of submissions within a short time period (you'll have to sort the mess of data out for yourself). So it's not true that it does everything else that the other plugins do. Ninja saves to the Wordpress backend in the free version, most of the other form plugins do something similar in their paid versions. Finally, there is a $10 Divi plugin that is developed and sold by a separate developer that allows to capture form submissions in the backend, but I have zero experience with it and don't know if it works correctly.

  • @fvgoya

    What about NitroPack for optimization? You should also add Optimole for delivering the resized versions of images for the device where the webpage is being viewed. But from what I've seen NitroPack dies an amazing job of optimizing yore site ... including image optimization except for dynamic sizing for devices.
