I'm looking for a new WordPress theme for Pivot to AI.

The present theme, Blocksy, looks nice, but it's slow and keeps breaking the WP-Supercache system.

(WP-Supercache with nginx can serve at a *stupendously* high volume. *IF* the theme or something isn't breaking the caching.)

My requirements are a magazine-style theme that will put the entire post on the front page, unless there's a "read more".

And not breaking the caching system.

Anyone know a suitable theme?

[Note to the worst of Mastodon: Suggestions along the lines of "why use wordpress when you can use asdfkjl-blurble static site generator" etc should assume I'm asking the question I'm asking and not the one you're answering.]

This June I will be taking on the 54 Mile London to Brighton Bike ride in support of #BritishHeartFoundation

I took on the challenge a few times in my 20s so will be great to give it another go despite an extra 14 years on the clock since last time.

This time holds extra meaning for me having lost my aunt Marsha to heart failure around 3 years ago.

I would very much appreciate any support you can give

Boosts appreciated #fundraising #cycling #charity

If by anyone has a dog and uk based (at least for now) my wife is making collars like the one Frank is wearing, she’s made a bunch already and think idea will be she can make designs to order to size.

If it’s something you might be interested in let me know and I can give you a heads up when she launches her store. (Imagine it will be Etsy or similar)

Here’s a few examples from product shots I took today. https://mastodon.social/@bengillam/116306929635064997

I guess she finished her emails for the day #Caturday #CatsOfMastodon

#Corporate America, by and large - rewards presentations and talking about doing work. Doing the #work day in and day out is rarely rewarded. It's essentially a popularity contest cranked up to 11. If you’re someone who enjoys doing the work, don’t expect to climb the ladder.

More parental responsibility being offloaded to tech companies.

Concerts near me also completely useless. Just a list of everything within a 150 mile radius, absolutely no bearing on what’s in my library.

Songkick managed this years and years ago

Seriously Apple **** off with this b/s

“Playlist Playground is limited to the United States.”

Absolutely, so your model can generate crappy cartoon images all over the place, but a simple text prompt is too much

Interesting - booting 26.4 for first time asks to confirm your age. Not that you can get to your password manager to login with your apppe account 🤔
