Sounds like one hell of a plan.

Feel better soon. Runny noses and colds suck.

I've got 134.85 miles since January 1 I'm almost there I think I'll spend Shabbat at the Prancing Pony lol.

These kinds of lawsuits, including quantity, are part of the reason why accessibility is perilously close to on life support here in the U.S. And I'm not gonna lie, I will never forgive the blind people who participate in this. Lawsuits are quite literally the only enforcement mechanism the ADA has which is bad enough, and we have these people doing high-profile stupid shit because they figure it's an easy way to supplement their monthly income.

Yeah, I know, RIP my mentions, but with the week I've had I do not care in the slightest.

That's it we're firing Tuesday.

They have different licenses, and the license you need depends on what addons you need for specific tasks.

Just to lay out my biases, I'm a proponent of learning the foundational web stuff (HTML, CSS, vanilla Javascript), thoroughly before you even touch something like WordPress or even just PHP or similar.

Most of that will not apply in the WordPress world. You need a plugin like Gravity Forms to do something like that if we're talking about generic forms, and if you're trying to sell some sort of membership package, you need to skip Easy Digital Downloads and the forms plugin and go with something like Paid Memberships Pro. Learning how to do forms in HTML is useful so that you understand how forms work on the web and at least the basics of the submission process.

Yes. Easy Digital Downloads in the search box under add new plugin.

Uninstall WC and clean up whatever it doesn't clean up, (associated pages), then install and configure Easy Digital Downloads.

OK use Easy Digital Downloads. It's pretty straightforward, you get Paypal for free, it's a free plugin. You don't need any of the moving parts that relate to physical goods, (shipping inventory, ETC.)

Are you selling physical or digital goods?

ECommerce always has a lot of moving parts, so easy is never a term I would associate with it, unless you're using a hosted service like Shopify which handles all the moving parts for you except for some specific details you need to configure. With that said, you're probably not going to get something that will be easier than WooCommerce, assuming you need a full ECommerce solution.

I'm glad your primary employer is providing cover.

@ner @GottaLaff Seconding.

That's … Interesting.

Even if they weren't in business though, there'd still be an issue with trying to do anything with DECtalk while not having a license, because the software's never been open sourced and the license has never been changed to be more permissive. And those kinds of copyright fights where the company has shut down but someone still owns the rights get real wild real fast.

Companies do this all the time. Especially when their websites aren't the primary drivers of their business. I mean they shouldn't, and they should at least keep the domain, but it happens.

They take on new customers, but it's stuff like vehicle telematics and home appliances.

Yes. They still have physical headquarters in UT and an active presence on LinkedIn.
