A good measure of the utility of WP_REST_Posts_Controller and brethren would be to test how much (or little) time it takes for a developer to correctly model their custom post type data by extending it. If it’s easy to do, then we’ve established a great abstraction. If there are pain points or places we need to […]
It would be neat if WP-CLI included a rudimentary backup and restore process for this use case: richard.tape [8:19 AM] anyone used wocker? I’m looking to set up a dev environment that I can share with someone else so they’re able to more easily help me debug a problem and I want to modify the base […]
Moving databases between environments is tough. Many things can break in the process, and a single issue can sink hours of your valuable time. Migrating WordPress databases between environments is especially tricky for two reasons: Instead of relative paths, WordPress stores full URLs in the database, in many different columns and tables.

Smarter Featured Gallery By default, the topmost UI element on each homepage will display the most recent published post. […]
I’d pay a couple bucks a month for a service to automatically push photos from Google Photos to Amazon Glacier, as a sort of catastrophic backup service.
Choosing a WordPress theme from the Customizer is a bit painful. First of all, "Search installed themes" doesn’t make sense as a string on a hosted WordPress service. As a user, I have no ability to install new themes. It could be edited to just "Search themes" Second, as a user with a blog, I […]
In the interest of blogging professionally, I’ve started a blog for my business, Hand Built. My blog’s description is "Perfect is the enemy of good enough", because I’ve been meaning to write about work-related topics for a while and sometimes you just need to ?. It was many painful steps to start this WordPress blog. Although […]
