Introduction

As you might know, the first impression is always an important factor that can make or break your WordPress business or niche site. If your niche site lacks this vital “attraction factor”, I bet you need to explore themes and plugins. In fact, a new stunning theme and combination of plugins can have a great impact on your sites and make them go from floundering to flourishing. However, the problem is that high-quality themes cost us around $47 to $197 each. As the result, it is hard for you to find the one that works for your site not to mention the case that you have several sites, or maybe build sites for clients. So that is why I want to show you a tool called WP Toolkit which allows you to open access to 80 premium themes, over 250 Premium plugins and more than 200 Woo Commerce extensions, and more. Now, let’s take a look at my WP Toolkit Review to know what kind of advantages it has.

MySQL Aggregate Query using CodeIgniter’s Query Builder

CodeIgniter’s Query Builder ORM has class methods for nearly any kind of database access/operation you can think of. In this post, I’ll cover some of the available methods for retrieving aggregate-level query results. The examples in this post map out Query Builder method chaining to produce results you would get from a raw MySQL query. Continue reading to see more… Image by Clker-Free-Vector-Images from Pixabay Self-Promotion: If you enjoy the content written here, by all means, share this blog and your favorite post(s) with others who may benefit from or like it as well. Since coffee is my favorite drink, you can even buy me one if you would like! MySQL Query prototyping When working on Back-end PHP code, I typically prototype out MySQL queries using either MySQL Workbench or phpMyAdmin. Once I have the correct query results, I then translate the MySQL query over to the PHP layer. For applications written in core PHP, I tend to use the PDO class. However, when using CodeIgniter 4 (which is my PHP framework of choice at this time), you can use any of these options:  Query Builder class methods.Extend the CodeIgniter Model class, utilizing its helper methods.A combination of both.For the examples in this post, I will use Query Builder class methods which are specific for aggregate-level data. Aggregate Query Results using MySQL As a SQL-first type of developer, I can honestly say that SQL is my favorite programming language and I am comfortable writing MySQL queries. That being said, I do appreciate the usefulness of an ORM. In my particular instance, since I use the CodeIgniter framework, the combination of CodeIgniter’s Models and the Query Builder class makes querying quite easy, among other things. Here is one such case in which I had little trouble retrieving the same query results using CodeIgniter Query Builder class ORM methods, as opposed to a raw MySQL query. I don’t feel that one approach is better or more valid than the other. This is just my experience as I learn CodeIgniter and am exposed to the Query Builder class and the in-built Models functionality provided by the framework. Let’s review this MySQL query which retrieves aggregated data on some of the walking stats and metrics I am interested in: SELECT     MIN(`ws`.`day_walked`) AS `oldest_day_walked`, MAX(`ws`.`day_walked`) AS `recent_day_walk`,     SUM(`ws`.`cal_burned`) AS `total_calories_burned`, SUM(`ws`.`miles_walked`) AS `total_miles_walked`,     COUNT(*) AS `number_of_walks`, `sw`.`brand_name`FROM `walking_stats` AS `ws`INNER JOIN `shoes_worn` AS `sw`ON `ws`.`shoe_id` = `sw`.`shoe_id`GROUP BY `sw`.`brand_name`ORDER BY `sw`.`brand_name` ASC; Nothing too extravagant. A typical query using SUM(), COUNT(), MIN(), and MAX() aggregate functions.  The above query returns these results: MySQL aggregate query results. Aggregate Query Results using CodeIginiter Query Builder class methods But, is this type of query – and more importantly – the query results, easily reproduced using CodeIgniter 4’s Query Builder class methods? They absolutely are. Let’s visit this CodeIgniter method I have in a class which extends the CodeIgniter Model: CodeIgniter 4 Query Builder class aggregate methods. The 4 key Query Builder aggregate-type methods used in the above Model method are: selectMin() – Maps to: SELECT MIN(field_name) selectMax() – Maps to: SELECT MAX(field_name) selectSum() – Maps to: SELECT SUM(field_name) selectCount() – Maps to: SELECT COUNT(field_name) Rounding out with both groupBy() and orderBy() methods complete the query. (Note: All 4 of the methods accept an optional 2nd parameter used to rename the field. I think of this in the same context as aliasing a column in MySQL using the AS keyword. The shoeAnalytics() model method produces identical query results as the MySQL query version shown previously. Looking at them in the browser using PHP”s print_r() method, we can see all of the data is there: Array(     [0] => stdClass Object         (             [oldest_day_walked] => 2019-01-02             [recent_day_walked] => 2020-12-02             [total_calories_burned] => 9091.1             [total_miles_walked] => 87.76             [number_of_walks] => 35             [brand_name] => Keen Koven WP         )     [1] => stdClass Object         (             [oldest_day_walked] => 2019-02-01             [recent_day_walked] => 2020-12-20             [total_calories_burned] => 1243.5             [total_miles_walked] => 13.25             [number_of_walks] => 5             [brand_name] => Keen Targhee Vent         )     [2] => stdClass Object         (             [oldest_day_walked] => 2019-07-15             [recent_day_walked] => 2020-05-13             [total_calories_burned] => 36805.2             [total_miles_walked] => 363.35             [number_of_walks] => 114             [brand_name] => Merrel MOAB Edge 2         )     [3] => stdClass Object         (             [oldest_day_walked] => 2019-02-15             [recent_day_walked] => 2019-04-08             [total_calories_burned] => 404.7             [total_miles_walked] => 3.99             [number_of_walks] => 2             [brand_name] => New Balance Trail Runners-All Terrain         )     [4] => stdClass Object         (             [oldest_day_walked] => 2019-07-30             [recent_day_walked] => 2021-02-17             [total_calories_burned] => 21754.4             [total_miles_walked] => 216.61             [number_of_walks] => 75             [brand_name] => Oboz Cirque Low         )     [5] => stdClass Object         (             [oldest_day_walked] => 2020-05-24             [recent_day_walked] => 2020-12-04             [total_calories_burned] => 31222.5             [total_miles_walked] => 308.09             [number_of_walks] => 105             [brand_name] => Oboz Sawtooth II Low         )     [6] => stdClass Object         (             [oldest_day_walked] => 2019-01-01             [recent_day_walked] => 2019-08-08             [total_calories_burned] => 33084.5             [total_miles_walked] => 327.59             [number_of_walks] => 137             [brand_name] => Oboz Sawtooth Low         )     [7] => stdClass Object         (             [oldest_day_walked] => 2020-10-05             [recent_day_walked] => 2020-10-11             [total_calories_burned] => 1172.3             [total_miles_walked] => 11.42             [number_of_walks] => 4             [brand_name] => Skechers Crossbar         )) Consider making a small donation on my behalf as I continue to provide useful and valuable content here on my site.

Slow Cooker Red Beans, Rice & Tofu

https://www.thefullhelping.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Red-rice-beans-tofu-8.jpg

My slow cooker has been a very good friend to me throughout the last twelve weeks of clinical work. I rarely use it overnight on weeknights the way I used to, mostly because I have to rush in the morning (and don’t want to clean it). But it’s a wonderful helper on weekends, when I’m batch cooking: one less thing that needs careful monitoring, and great for cooking/freezing in bulk.

Since rice and beans are one of my staples, I recently got to thinking whether or not I could prep them in my slow cooker for a change. The answer is yes, and this recipe for slow cooker red beans, rice & tofu is my first try.

I’ve mentioned in past posts that I love adding tofu to rice & beans: it gives the dish extra plant protein, heft, and texture. In this recipe, extra firm tofu plays the role that sausage might play in an authentic red rice & beans recipe, except that, with my schedule these days, I didn’t do anything fancy to season the tofu beforehand. I just threw it into the slow cooker with all of the other ingredients and allowed it to soak up flavor—which is what tofu is great at doing!

My extra firm tofu of choice is from Nasoya, makers of awesome, organic soy foods that are accessible all over the country. I love the texture of this tofu, which is firm enough (in my opinion) to resist the need for pressing. If you do want to press it, it gets even denser. I’ve used it both ways, but in this recipe, I just patted it and squeezed it gently between paper towels before adding, without any time in my press.

When I add the Nasoya extra firm tofu to recipes, I usually cube it into pieces that are about 3/4-1″ big. When I cut the block up evenly, it’s 32 pieces (invariably they end up a little uneven, but it’s all good.

When I want the best flavor from a slow cooker recipe, I sauté the onions and other veggies (peppers, celery, etc) in some olive oil before turning the slow cooker on (my current slow cooker allows me to sear/sauté in the device, but in the past I’d just do it in a pan). For this recipe, you can skip that step or roll with it: it adds a bit more depth of flavor, but the dish will be perfectly spicy and flavorful no matter what, thanks to the spice mix.

Note that, for this recipe, rice gets added after the other ingredients have cooked for a while, so if you’re cooking overnight, you’ll want to plan to add in the morning. I cooked for 4 hours and added the rice 1 hour before cook time was done.

Slow Cooker Red Beans, Rice & Tofu

Recipe type: main dish

Cuisine: slow cooker, vegan, gluten free, tree nut free, no oil option

Author: Gena Hamshaw

Prep time: 10 mins

Cook time: 8 hours

Total time: 8 hours 10 mins

Serves: 8-12 servings

Ingredients

1 lb kidney beans, soaked overnight or for 8 hours and drained

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large or 2 small onions, diced

3 large stalks celery, diced

1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced

14 ounces Nasoya extra firm tofu, cubed

4 cloves garlic, minced

7 cups water + 1 vegan, chicken style bouillon cube or 7 cups vegetable broth

2 bay leaves

2 teaspoons smoked paprika

2 teaspoons chili powder

2 teaspoons dried thyme

1 teaspoons fine salt (more as needed; the bouillon or broth will plenty of salt as well, but you can increase the starting amount to 1½-2 teaspoons if you use low-sodium broth)

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (this is very mild, which is my style, but feel free to ramp it up if you like a lot of heat!)

¼ cup tomato paste

1¼ cups long-grain white or brown rice*

1-2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, to taste

Hot sauce and chopped green onions, for topping

Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Boil the beans for 15 minutes. Drain and rinse.

Optional: heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the onion is gently browning. Add these ingredients to the slow cooker.

Add all remaining ingredients except for rice and vinegar to the slow cooker. If you don't choose to sauté the vegetables, you can skip the olive oil and dump everything but the rice and vinegar into the slow cooker now!

Cook the ingredients on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours. Add the rice. Continue cooking for 2 more hours on low or 1 hour on high (1½ hours if you use brown rice instead of white). Remove the bay leaves. Stir in the vinegar and add additional salt as needed. Serve, with plenty of hot sauce and chopped green onions if desired.

3.5.3251

This is, as so many of my recent recipes are these days, a staple that can be dressed up in a ton of ways. With a good squeeze of hot sauce it’s a light lunch. With a big salad or a couple veggie sides, it’s dinner. Stuffed into some corn or whole wheat tacos, it’s a perfect breakfast. I’m so happy to still have a ton of it in my freezer.

And, speaking of how voluminous the recipe is, it’s totally OK to cut the whole thing in half if you like—and it’s an especially good idea to do that if you have a smaller sized slow cooker.

Rice and beans is a perfect combination of foods in just about every way: nutritionally, texturally, economically. Tofu makes it all the better and all the more nutrient-dense, and I can’t wait to make this one again.

Wishing you a nourishing end to the week, and I’ll see you this weekend.

WordPress 5.6 Brings the Good, the Meh and the Ugly

New Post has been published on https://tiptopreview.com/wordpress-5-6-brings-the-good-the-meh-and-the-ugly/

WordPress 5.6 Brings the Good, the Meh and the Ugly

WordPress 5.6 has been released with dozens of improvements and new features. Code named Simone (honoring singer Nina Simone), WordPress 5.6 has been met with a positive response, possibly because it didn’t break anything.

The substance of what’s new in WordPress 5.6 can be described as mostly good, some meh and one issue that’s ugly.

The Good

Enable jQuery Migrate Plugin Updated

The last two updates were somewhat rocky due to millions of websites breaking or accidentally updating with a beta version of WordPress.

The biggest potential issue was with the jQuery Migrate deprecations and updates.

WordPress 5.6 managed to avoid the legacy jQuery plugin issues experienced with the WordPress 5.5 update in August 2020. That was the update that caused websites to stop functioning in myriad and unexpected ways.

The reason those issues were avoided this time around is because WordPress 5.6 updated the Enable jQuery Migrate plugin in order to avoid a repeat of websites crashing.

When the plugin is active and the publisher is logged in, the plugin will detect outdated jQuery and log it, presenting a display at the top of page to signal the problem.

The plugin detects jQuery issues from page to page as the pages are served to the publisher as they browse the site.

There is an option to perform similar logging using pages served to users are browsing the site, but WordPress warns that this could create significant server load and recommends not turning it on.

There is a deprecation log page that shows the plugins responsible for the warnings. After updating a plugin the publisher can clear the old log and resume browsing again to see if the Enable jQuery Migrate plugin detect additional issues.

WordPress stated:

“With the above in mind, the Enable jQuery Migrate Helper plugin was updated for the release of WordPress 5.6, this provides a temporary downgrade path to run legacy jQuery on a site when needed.

The reason this is considered a temporary solution, is that the older version of jQuery no longer receives security updates, and the legacy version will not be patched manually if anything should occur that warrants updates to it.”

The Meh

WordPress 5.6 is shipping with their first version of WordPress that is (somewhat) PHP 8 compatible, the newest version of PHP that was released in November. However, this compatibility is meant to be regarded as beta compatible.

Because the WordPress PHP 8 compatibility news manages to be both good and less than good news it ends up being… meh.

As noted in the official guidance of WordPress 5.6 and PHP 8 Compatibility:

“WordPress Core aims to be compatible with PHP 8.0 in the 5.6 release (currently scheduled for December 8, 2020).

…Significant effort has been put towards making WordPress 5.6 compatible with PHP 8 on its own, but it is very likely that there are still undiscovered issues remaining.”

Publishers should test first before upgrading their version of PHP because themes and plugins at this point in time will very likely not be ready for PHP 8.

That’s why WordPress’ announcement framed PHP 8 compatibility as one of the first steps, because of potential compatibility bugs and because themes and plugins may not be compatible yet.

According to WordPress:

“5.6 marks the first steps toward WordPress Core support for PHP 8.”

The Ugly

One of the new features in version 5.6 that the WordPress team are rightfully proud of also contains a potential downside to it that if fully exploited could lead to a full site takeover.

WP 5.6 introduces the REST API authentication with Application Passwords Feature

The App Passwords Feature allows third party apps to connect to your website and add functionality.

According to WordPress:

“Thanks to the API’s new Application Passwords authorization feature, third-party apps can connect to your site seamlessly and securely. This new REST API feature lets you see what apps are connecting to your site and control what they do. “

However, according to WordPress security plugin publisher Wordfence, a social engineering attack could be used against a site administrator to obtain administrator credentials.

Social engineering is a hacking method that relies on tricking into providing information or access.

For example, Phishing is a form of social engineering where an attacker may email a victim posing as their bank, requesting that they reset their login credentials.

A link in the email leads to a copycat site that resembles a bank website where the victim enters their user name and password which is then harvested to obtain access to their banking account.

Wordfence describes a social engineering attack where a criminal could create an app that impersonates a trusted App, leading the site publisher to issue a password and allow a secure connection to their website. Wordfence describes the complexity of this attack as “trivial.”

According to Wordfence:

“An attacker could trick a site owner into clicking a link requesting an application password, naming their malicious application whatever they wanted…

Since application passwords function with the permissions of the user that generated them, an attacker could use this to gain control of a website.”

Wordfence produced a video describing and demonstrating the potential for a social engineering attack compromising the new Application Passwords Feature:

WordPress 5.6 Overview

WordPress 5.6 is largely a success. There’s much that is so right with it. While it’s not a major advance it does have incremental improvements into site design functionality and improvements to functionality.

That this release manages to avoid the drama of the last two release makes this update a win considering there’s still a few weeks left in 2020.

6 Reasons Why Video and Audio Content Are Trending Among the Blogging Community

The post 6 Reasons Why Video and Audio Content Are Trending Among the Blogging Community appeared first on HostGator Blog.

It’s hard to argue the value of high-quality, written blog content. Text blog content engages readers, helps establish you as an industry leader, and boosts your website in the search results.

However, the written word is not an island in the blogging world. Recent trends show that more and more bloggers are taking advantage of other dominant content types, namely, video and audio content.

Here are some of the reasons why video and audio content are trending in the blogging community, and why it’s time to look into expanding your content strategy.

1. Video and audio content is easier to create

Writing a 1000+ word blog post can feel like pulling teeth, especially if writing isn’t your passion.

Creating a video or audio track, on the other hand, is as easy as pulling out your smartphone and pressing “record.”  

Not to mention, with several smart WordPress blogging plugins, it’s easier now more than ever to post your video or audio content on your blog without any hassle.

Here are some stellar video embed WordPress plugins you can check out:

YouTube Embed

Video Gallery WordPress Plugin

Video Thumbnails

Responsive Video Embeds

And, here are the top WordPress audio players and podcasting plugins:

Compact WP Audio Player

Blubrry PowerPress

Seriously Simple Podcasting

Audio Igniter

2. Video and audio content engage your audience for longer

Guess what the average time a visitor spends reading a blog post? Thirty-seven seconds, according to NewsCred.

While 77% of internet users regularly read blog posts, readers consume text as quickly as possible.

Stats show the opposite for video content. Users spend 88% more time on a site that contains videos, and videos that are up to 2 minutes get the most significant engagement.

But, time spent watching videos on blog posts and websites is not the only metric for engagement success. 

Research also shows that sites with videos receive more social shares than sites with only text and video. In fact, video content generates 1200% more shares than images and text combined.

The more people share your content, the higher your chances of bringing in new readers and blog subscribers — and even more people to share your content!

What about audio content? 

Can audio content boost time on site? According to Edison Research, most podcast listeners listen to content via a mobile device, but not all. As of 2018, 29% of podcast listeners still consumed audio content via their computers.

Even if your audience is listening via Apple Podcasts or Stitcher, there is still a case for including audio content directly in your blog posts. According to Optinmonster, audio content in blog posts also helped 45% of bloggers achieve better results.

3. Video and audio content increase inbound linking opportunities

Stats show that blog posts that incorporate video attract 3x as many inbound links as posts without video.��Backlinks are very important for SEO.

Additionally, Search Engine Land touts creating audio content as a “brilliant way to build backlinks” and referral traffic to your website.

Why should bloggers even care about inbound links?

Inbound links show search engines that your blog content is relevant, trustworthy, and credible enough that other authoritative blogs want to link to your content. That’s one of the most powerful Google ranking factors.

While we are talking about inbound linking opportunities for your blog, it’s worth mentioning that posts with videos, images, and lists will attract nearly six times more inbound links than a blog post with only plain text. And, it can’t hurt to add the audio version of your content into the mix.

4. Video content increases sales opportunities

Here’s the deal. Every time my children watch Kid’s YouTube, they start asking me to keep certain toys in mind for their birthday. Every time. 

Before watching YouTuber videos, my kids had no idea they absolutely had to have the latest and greatest from Ryan’s Toy Review.

As much as the frugal part of myself would like to deny it, I’m guilty of this too. I can’t tell you how many products I’ve purchased after watching a video.

Unintentional mobile shopping after watching a video is not a trend in my family alone. Stats show that consumers are 64% more likely to purchase a product after watching a video about it. 

Additionally, video content boosts buyer’s confidence. Fifty-seven percent of consumers say watching a product video makes them more confident in buying it online.

5. Video content is preferred and more memorable

Audience preference is another one of the reasons there has been a shift from text to video and recently.

Seventy-two percent of readers on the internet would rather watch videos than read text if given both options. This goes for product videos as well, considering four times as many consumers would rather watch a video about a product than to read about it, according to Animoto.

And, it makes sense why. Video content is more vibrant and memorable than text. Stats show that people that watch videos retain 95% of the message as compared to 10% of people reading a text. 

6. Video and audio content is accessible 

As audiences become more accommodating to people of all abilities, accessibility of content remains at the top of the mind. 

Plugins like WP Accessibility, WP Accessibility Helper, and EsAudioPlayer are being utilized more, making it possible for a broader audience to consume your valuable blog content, whether it’s text, video, or audio. These plugins make it possible to easily add closed captions to your videos.

Wrap Up

Text blog posts will always remain a valuable part of your blogging strategy, but there is a reason why bloggers are incorporating more video and audio.

It’s easier to create video and audio content, and these types of content will enhance your blog posts. You also have more opportunities to connect with your audience in various and meaningful ways when you offer more ways to digest content.

Skribbl.io Hack

Skribbl.io is a multiplayer drawing and guessing game that runs on the browser. It is played by a maximum8 people all over the world or with a small group of friends. When a player tries to draw an image, the other players guess what it is. The faster they guess, the higher the number of points they earn. Skribbl.io is an exciting game that helps connect with friends and take off stress after a nerve-racking day at work. You get to find out how good or horrible your friends draw, and have a good laugh at it.

How to Play Skribbl.io

Type in https://Skribble.io in your browser.

Pick a user name- one not so personal to you as names are accessible to other players you don’t know. If you don’t pick a name, Skribbl.io would automatically generate a name for you.

Select language preference- For easy communication and to avoid confusion between players, a common language has to be chosen.

Choose your avatar- This avatar represents you during the game and can be edited to change color and also how it looks with the arrows at the sides.

Join the game- You click on play if you don’t have a friend with you. A game would have been on, you’d have to wait your turn before you draw and other players try to guess. Skribbl could seem confusing at first, but hang in there, you’ll figure it out.

If you want friends to join- Click on the private room- the blue tab just below ‘’Play’’. A form titled lobby would appear. The form contains the number of rounds and will be default at ‘’3’’, but can be adjusted to preference. The form also contains draw time for each session of ‘’80’’. You can decrease it to a minimum of 30s and a maximum of 180s. To bring your friends in, go to the bottom of the screen where you’ll see boldened words that say ‘’Invite your friends.’’ Hover your mouse on it and the invite link would appear. Copy this link and send to friends through email or any social media, or just show them the screen if they are close by, and they should type it into their browser.

Click on ‘’Start game’’

Game on-There are basic guides you need to know while playing skribbl.

First- draw a clear but complex image that other players won’t find it easy to guess. This keeps the excitement in the game, gains you points, and also prevents you from being vote kicked [kicking you out of the game] by other players.

If you don’t want to draw, search an image on google, drag and paste it on the drawing field when it is your turn. Simple images draw best.

How to cheat at skribbl

Words selected by the drawer shouldn’t be seen but there is a trick you do to get above others.

Download the cheat codes here.

Unzip the file and install node-js on your computer if you don’t have.

Open the command prompt or command line for windows and enter the following: npm install-g http-server

Change the directory in your command line to where you unzipped the downloaded files. e.g cd ...home/downloads/skribblio-helper-master

Run http-server

Go to your browser- chrome or firefox and open https://localhost:3000

Open a new tab and go to https://skribble.io. Open your browser console [ctr+shift+i]

Copy Cheat.js content and paste it in your browser console.

Enjoy the game

Where to Learn WordPress Theme Development

Over a decade ago, I did a little three-part video series on Designing for WordPress. Then I did other series with the same spirit, like videocasting the whole v10 redesign, a friend's website, and even writing a book. Those are getting a little long in the tooth though. You might still learn from watching them if you're getting into WordPress theme development, but there will be moments that feel very aged (old UI's and old versions of software). All the code still works though, because WordPress is great at backward compatibility. I still hear from people who found those videos very helpful for them.

But since time has pressed on, and I was recently asked what resources I would suggest now, I figured I'd have a look around and see what looks good to me.

Do you like how I plopped the WordPress logo over some stock art I bought that features both a computer and a chalkboard, by which to evoke a feeling of "learning"? So good. I know.

Who are we talking to?

There's a spectrum of WordPress developers, from people who don't know any code at all or barely touch it, to hardcore programming nerds building custom everything.

Pick out a theme that looks good, use it.

🤷‍♂️

🤷‍♂️

🤷‍♂️

🤷‍♂️

Hardcore programmer nerd.

I can't speak to anybody on either edge of that spectrum. There is this whole world of people in the middle. They can code, but they aren't computer science people. They are get the job done people. Maybe it's something like this:

Pick out a theme that will work, use it.

Start with a theme, customize it a bit using built-in tools.

Start with a theme, hack it up with code to do what you need it to do.

Start from scratch, build out what you need.

Start from scratch, build a highly customized site.

Hardcore programmer nerd.

I've always been somewhere around #4, and I think that's a nice sweet spot. I try to let off-the-shelf WordPress and big popular plugins do the heavy lifting, but I'll bring-my-own front-end (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) and customize what I have to. I'm making templates. I'm writing queries. I'm building blocks. I'm modularizing where I can.

I feel powerful in that zone. I can build a lot of sites that way, almost by myself. So where are the resources today that help you learn this kind of WordPress theme development? Lemme see what I can find.

Wing it, old school

There is something to be said for learning by doing. Trial by fire. I've learned a lot under these circumstances in my life.

The trick here is to get WordPress installed on a live server and then play with the settings, plugins, customizer, and edit the theme files themselves to make the site do things. You'll find HTML in those theme files — hack it up! You'll see PHP code spitting out content. Can you tell what and how to manipulate it? You'll find a CSS file in the theme — edit that sucker!

Editing a WordPress theme and seeing what happens

The official documentation can help you somewhat here:

How to install WordPress

Developer Resources

Google stuff when you get stuck

To some degree, I'm a fan of doing it live (on a production website) because it lends a sense of realness to what you are doing when you are a beginner. The stakes are high there, giving you a sense of the power you have. When I make these changes, they are for anyone in the world with an internet connection to see.

I did this in my formative years by buying a domain name and hosting, installing WordPress on that hosting, logging into it with SFTP credentials, and literally working on the live files. I used Coda, which is still a popular app, and is being actively developed into a new version of itself as I write.

This is Nova, a MacOS code editor from Panic that has SFTP built-in.

Hopefully, the stakes are real but low. Like you're working on a pet project or your personal site. At some point, hacking on production sites becomes too dangerous of an idea. One line of misplaced PHP syntax can take down the entire site.

If you're working on something like a client site, you'll need to upgrade that workflow.

Modern winging it

The modern, healthy, standard way for working on websites is:

Work on them locally.

Use version control (Git), where new work is done in branches of the master branch.

Deployment to the production website is done when code is pushed to the master branch, like your development branch is merged in.

I've done a recent video on this whole workflow as I do it today. My toolset is:

Work locally with Local by Flywheel.

My web hosting is also Flywheel, but that isn't required. It could be anything that gives you SFTP access and runs what WordPress needs: Apache, PHP, and MySQL. Disclosure, Flywheel is a sponsor here, but because I like them and their service :).

Code is hosted on a private repo on GitHub.

Deployment to the Flywheel hosting is done by Buddy. Buddy watches for pushes to the master branch and moves the files over SFTP to the production site.

Local by Flywheel

Now that you have a local setup, you can go nuts. Do whatever you want. You can't break anything on the live site, so you're freer to make experimental changes and just see what happens.

When working locally, it's likely you'll be editing files with a code editor. I'd say the most popular choice these days is the free VS Code, but there is also Atom and Sublime, and fancier editors like PhpStorm.

The freedom of hacking on files is especially apparent once you've pushed your code up to a Git repo. Once you've done that, you have the freedom of reverting files back to the state of the last push.

I use the Git software Tower, and that lets me can see what files have changed since I last committed code. If I've made a mistake, caused a problem, or done something I don't like — even if I don't remember exactly what I changed — I can discard those changes back to their last state. That's a nice level of freedom.

When I do commit code, to master or by merging a branch into master, that's when Buddy kicks in and deploys the changes to the production site.

CSS-Tricks itself is a WordPress site, which has continuously evolved over 13 years.

But like, where do you start?

We're talking about WordPress theme development here, so you start with a theme. Themes are literally folders of files in your WordPress installation.

root - /wp-content/ - /themes/ - /theme-name/

WordPress comes with some themes right out of the box. As I write, the Twenty Twenty theme ships with WordPress, and it's a nice one! You could absolutely start your theme hackin' on that.

Themes tend to have some opinions about how they organize themselves and do things, and Twenty Twenty is no different. I'd say, perhaps controversially, that there is no one true way to organize your theme, so long as it's valid code and does things the "WordPress" way. This is just something you'll have to get a feel for as you make themes.

Starter themes

Starter themes were a very popular way to start building a theme from scratch in my day. I don't have a good sense if that's still true, but the big idea was a theme with all the basic theme templates you'll need (single blog post pages, a homepage, a 404 page, search results page, etc.) with very little markup and no styling at all. That way you have an empty canvas from which to build out all your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript yourself to your liking. Sorta like you're building any other site from scratch with these core technologies, only with some PHP in there spitting out content.

There was a theme called Starkers that was popular, but it's dead now. I made one called BLANK myself but haven't touched that in a long time. In looking around a bit, I found some newer themes with this same spirit. Here's the best three I found:

HTML5 Blank

BlankSlate

_s ("Underscores")

I can't personally vouch for them, but they've all been updated somewhat recently and look like pretty good starting points to me. I'd give them a shot in the case that I was starting from absolute scratch on a project. I'd be tempted to download one and then spruce it up exactly how I like it and save that as my own starter in case I needed to do it again.

It feels worth mentioning that a lot of web development isn't starting from scratch, but rather working on existing projects. In that case, the process is still getting a local environment set up; you just aren't starting from scratch, but with the existing theme. I'd suggest duplicating the theme and changing the name while you hack on it, so even if you deploy it, it doesn't affect the live theme. Others might suggest using the starter as a "parent" theme, then branching off into a "child" theme.

To get your local development environment all synced up with exactly what the production website is like, I think the best tool is WP DB Migrate Pro, which can yank down the production database to your local site and all the media files (paid product and a paid add-on, worth every penny).

Fancier Starter Themes

Rather than starting from absolute scratch, there are themes that come with sensible defaults and even modern build processes for you start with. The idea is that building a site with essentially raw HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, while entirely doable, just doesn't have enough modern conveniences to be comfortable.

Here are some.

Morten Rand-Hendriksen has a project called WP Rig that has all sorts of developer tools built into it. A Gulp-based build process spins up a BrowserSync server for auto updating. JavaScript gets processed in Babel. CSS gets processed in PostCSS, and code is linted. He teaches WordPress with it.

Roots makes a theme called Sage that comes with a templating engine, your CSS framework of choice, and fancy build process stuff.

Ignition has a build process and all sorts of helpers.

Timber comes with a templating engine and a bunch of code helpers.

I think all these are pretty cool, but are also probably not for just-starting-out beginner developers.

Books

This is tough because of how many there are. In a quick Google search, I found one site selling fifteen WordPress books as a bundle for $9.99. How would you even know where to start? How good can they be for that rock bottom price? I dunno.

I wrote a book with Jeff Starr ages ago called Digging Into WordPress. After all these years, Jeff still keeps the book up to date, so I'd say that's a decent choice! Jeff has other books like The Tao of WordPress and WordPress Themes In Depth.

A lot of other books specifically about WordPress theme development are just fairly old. 2008-2015 stuff. Again, not that there isn't anything to be learned there, especially as WordPress doesn't change that rapidly, but still, I'd want to read a book more recent that half a decade old. Seems like a big opportunity for a target audience as large as WordPress users and developers. Or if there is already stuff that I'm just not finding, lemme know in the comments.

Perhaps learning is shifting so much toward online that people don't write books as much...

Online learning courses

Our official learning partner Frontend Masters has one course on WordPress focused on JavaScript and WordPress, so that might not be quite perfect for learning the basics of theme development. Still, fascinating stuff.

Here's some others that looked good to me while looking around:

SuperHi: WordPress

Chris Dixon: WordPress 5 Theme Development Academy with Bootstrap v4

WPSHOUT: The Basic Course

WPCasts (free on YouTube)

Know The Code which teaches with specific theme frameworks.

Udemy: Zac Gordon's Complete WordPress Theme & Plugin Development Course

Zac's course looks like the most updated and perhaps the best option there.

A totally different direction for theme Development

One way to build a site with WordPress is not to use WordPress themes at all! Instead, you can use the WordPress API to suck data out of WordPress and build a site however the heck you please.

The WordPress REST API (built-in!) which you could use to do something like this.

Gatsby and WordPress

Use GraphQL instead of REST with wp-graphql.

This idea of decoupling the CMS and the front end you build is pretty neat. It's often referred to as using a "headless" CMS. It's not for everyone. (One big reason is that, in a way, it doubles your technical debt.). But it can bring a freedom to both the CMS and the front end to evolve independently.

After registering to google webmaster, you can add and verify the ownership of your website.  Here are the steps to getting your website on the Google search console. Step 1- Make an account with the help of Google webmaster tool First of all, you have to go to google search console and then click on Start now.  If you have an existing Google account, then you can directly login, or the first step is to make an account and then proceed with the login process.

Verifying of ownership of your webpage with google webmaster tool  This step is one of the most essential steps in the process. Here, you have to verify the ownership of your website in the google tool for webmaster. There are five ways to do this.   1. HTML File Verification   If you have gone for this method, then you have to download the given file of HTML and then upload it to the Rooter folder of your webpage. Mostly, there cases where this is in the public_html folder.  Once you have uploaded, then you can click on the Verify button and continue to the next step.

    2. HTML Tag   You can also verify your ownership with HTML Tag. If you have chosen to use this verification way, then you need to copy the meta tag that is given by Google and then enter it to the head section of your webpage. If you use the Yoast SEO plugin, then you can add the verification code in the box of Google Verification Code by following the simple selection process-  Yoast SEO> General> Webmaster tools   3. Google Analytics   This third method is one of the most simple and recommended methods in the industry.

So, here, it is always better to ask for the assistance of your domain helper.

Step 4- Continuation of the process to enter every website variation Once you have registered and verified one of your web page's address in the verification process given above, then you just have to repeat the entire process till you have all your variations entered.

For example- http://www.webtechninjas.com/ http://bestfridgereviews.com/ and so on Google Search Console Settings You have to go to SETTINGS to keep a check on the ownership status and then to delete or add or change users who can assess your website’s properties.  How to Use Google Tag Manager? If you are an existing user of Google Tag Manager, then this can be the easiest way to verify your website. If you are looking forward to trying this method out, then you must have View, Edit, and Manage options permissible and enabled for your Google tag manager account. Take a look at your website's HTML code before trying out this method to be assured the google tag manager code is placed right after your site's tag.  

From the dashboard of the search console, you have to select Manage site and then you have to click on Verify this site. If you do not see the GTM option listed under the Recommended method, then it must appear under the Alternative method.    Select Google Tag Manager and then click on the verify option. If the GTM code is found, then you must see a screen that lets you know your site has completed verification. And, once your site has been verified, absolutely do not remove the Google tag manager code from your site because if you do, then your site will lose its verification.

Understanding the WP CLI associate arguments

In a recent article, we learn about WP CLI arguments or $args. If you have not read it yet then you can first read the article Understanding the WP CLI arguments.

Below is some code which may you already have done in a recent article. So, you can skip some below steps.

Okay. In this article, we are going to understand the $assoc_args parameter.

Let’s create a simple plugin and then understand the $assoc_args.

Create Empty Plugin #Create Empty Plugin

Create a new folder wordpress-examples into plugins directory /wp-content/plugins/

Create a file wordpress-examples.php and add the below code into it.

<?php /** Plugin Name: WordPress Examples */

Note: If you want to add some additional information then you can get it from gist snippet – WordPress Complete Plugin Readme File.

Now you can see our WordPress Examples plugin exists into the plugins list.

Now, Activate the plugin.

Register WP CLI Command #Register WP CLI Command

Register PHP class WordPress_Examples_WP_CLI e.g.

if ( ! class_exists( 'WordPress_Examples_WP_CLI' ) && class_exists( 'WP_CLI_Command' ) ) : class WordPress_Examples_WP_CLI extends WP_CLI_Command { } endif;

Here,

We have registered a new class WordPress_Examples_WP_CLI and extend it with WP_CLI_Command.

Add Example Command #Add Example Command

Now let’s register the examples. E.g.

WP_CLI::add_command( 'examples', 'WordPress_Examples_WP_CLI' );

Here,

We have used the function WP_CLI::add_command() to register our examples command.

The function WP_CLI::add_command() accepts 2 parameters. The first parameter is the command name. Which is examples in our case.

And second is a callback class which is WordPress_Examples_WP_CLI.

Add associated_arguments sub command #Add associated_arguments sub command

public function associated_arguments( $args, $assoc_args ) { WP_CLI::line( 'Hello' ); }

Here,

We have added a function associated_arguments() with two parameters.

$args contain the arguments.

$assoc_args contain the associate arguments.

Testing #Testing

Open command prompt/terminal. Go to your WordPress setup. I have set up WordPress in D:\xampp\htdocs\dev.test

So, Execute the below commands:

cd D:\xampp\htdocs\dev.test

wp examples associated_arguments

You can see the output something like below:

λ wp examples associated_arguments Hello

This command just shows the string Hello. Now, Let’s try some examples:

Example 1

public function associated_arguments( $args, $assoc_args ) { WP_CLI::line( 'Hello' ); WP_CLI::line( print_r( $assoc_args ) ); }

Let’s execute our command wp examples associated_arguments.

λ wp examples associated_arguments Hello Array ( ) 1

Oh! This is something similar like $args. Right, Becase of the $assoc_args is also an array.

So, After executing above command WP_CLI::line( print_r( $assoc_args ) ); print an empty array because we don’t have any associated arguments in our CLI command.

But, If instead of command wp examples associated_arguments if we execute the command wp examples associated_arguments --one=One --two=Two --three=Three then output as below:

λ wp examples associated_arguments --one=One --two=One --three=Three Hello Array ( [one] => One [two] => Two [three] => Three ) 1

Here, Code WP_CLI::line( print_r( $assoc_args ) ); print an array of associated arguments.

In the next example, Let’s access the associated argument one by one in the code.

Example 2

public function associated_arguments( $args, $assoc_args ) { WP_CLI::line( 'Hello' ); WP_CLI::line( $assoc_args['one'] ); WP_CLI::line( $assoc_args['two'] ); WP_CLI::line( $assoc_args['three'] ); }

Execute the command wp examples associated_arguments --one=One --two=Two --three=Three

λ wp examples associated_arguments --one=One --two=Two --three=Three Hello one two three

Here,

WP_CLI::line( $assoc_args['one'] ); contain the value one

WP_CLI::line( $assoc_args['two] ); contain the value two

WP_CLI::line( $assoc_args['three] ); contain the value three

Example 3

public function associated_arguments( $args, $assoc_args ) { WP_CLI::line( 'Hello ' . $assoc_args['name'] ); }

If we execute the command wp examples associated_arguments then we get an error as below:

λ wp examples associated_arguments Notice: Undefined index: name in D:\xampp\htdocs\dev.test\wp-content\plugins\wordpress-examples\wordpress-examples.php on line 12 Hello

Now, Set some default values as below:

public function associated_rguments( $args, $assoc_args ) { $value = isset( $assoc_args['name'] ) ? $assoc_args['name'] : 'World'; WP_CLI::line( 'Hello ' . $value ); }

If we execute the command wp examples associated_arguments then we get the output as below:

λ wp examples associated_arguments Hello World

If we execute the command wp examples associated_arguments --name=Mahesh then we get the output as below:

λ wp examples associated_arguments --name=Mahesh Hello Mahesh

If we execute the command wp examples associated_arguments --name=Mahesh Waghmare then we get the output as below:

λ wp examples associated_arguments --name=Mahesh Waghmare Hello Mahesh

Why? Because of It consider Mahesh and Waghmare as two different associated arguments.

We can contact the string in a double quote. So, the CLI command understands that the parameter is a single associated attribute.

E.g.

λ wp examples associated_arguments --name="Mahesh Waghmare" Hello Mahesh Waghmare

Using \WP_CLI\Utils\get_flag_value() #Using \WP_CLI\Utils\get_flag_value()

WP CLI has some helper functions which are more useful while developing some commands.

The WP_CLIUtilsget_flag_value() is one of them which allow us to get the value of the $assoc_args.

Let’s see it with a below simple example.

public function associated_arguments( $args, $assoc_args ) { $value = isset( $assoc_args['name'] ) ? $assoc_args['name'] : 'World'; WP_CLI::line( 'Hello ' . $value ); // With helper function WP_CLIUtilsget_flag_value(). $first = \WP_CLI\Utils\get_flag_value( $assoc_args, 'name', 'World' ); WP_CLI::line( 'Hello ' . $value ); }

If we execute the command wp examples associated_arguments then we see something like below:

λ wp examples associated_arguments Hello World Hello World

We get the same result because the code \WP_CLI\Utils\get_flag_value( $assoc_args, 'name', 'World' );

$assoc_args contains the list of all arguments.

name is the index of the argument.

World is the default value if we have not passed any parameter for name index.

Understanding the WP CLI associate arguments.

New Titles Lead Line of All-Ages and Young Adult Graphic Novels, Digital First

 Publisher Space Goat Productions has announced a new line of Backpack Edition comic books. Perfect-bound, at 9″ x 6″, the graphic novels are small enough to fit in backpacks, messenger bags, and purses, while still being durable enough for travel. Perfect for readers on the go. Most books will be available digitally on Amazon and Comixology well in advance of physical publication.

“Going straight to graphic novel after serializing digitally first has been a dream of mine since at least 2005,” stated Publisher Shon Bury. “Our partnership with Amazon and Comixology, along with competitive domestic printing sources, has made that dream a reality.”

The line will launch with two new series: Moonlighters and Uncanny Valley High. Both are available for pre-order on Comixology today.

#gallery-0-4 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-4 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-4 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-4 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Moonlighters features broke college-age werewolves taking supernatural odd jobs to pay the rent. Written by Katie Schenkel (writer at Comics Alliance, The Mary Sue, Panels, and the upcoming graphic novel The Cardboard Kingdom) and illustrated by Cal Moray (Monster Elementary). They are monster helpers for hire.

“I’m excited for the opportunity to build the world these characters exist in between the mundane and the supernatural,” said series illustrator Cal Moray. “But not gonna lie, I’m mostly excited to draw corgis.” Series writer Katie Schenkel said, “Writing these cute queer werewolves being friends and getting into shenanigans has been a dream so far. I really think Moonlighters is going to be special.”

Uncanny Valley High is about a high school in a (poorly rendered) computer simulation dealing with all of the glitchy hijinks that entails. Think Archie, if Archie was trapped in a broken video game. Written by Ian Flynn (Sonic the Hedgehog, Mega Man) and illustrated by Maddi Gonzalez (Munchkin, Fresh Romance).

“I can’t wait for folks to experience all the fun and funky stuff in Uncanny Valley High,” said series writer Ian Flynn, “It’s new territory for me, and it’s been a lot of fun to be involved with it!” Series illustrator Maddi Gonzalez said, “I’ve always loved stories based in reality but slightly off-kilter, so I’m ecstatic to work on a title like Uncanny Valley High.”

“We want to get more comics in more people’s hands,” said Space Goat’s Director of Marketing and Sales, JD Boucher, “So at Space Goat, we want to make comics featuring creators and characters of all genders, sexualities, races, religions, and backgrounds, in the formats that are easiest for consumers to access, digital and trade paperbacks. Our Backpack Editions are just the first step.”

Other Backpack Editions:

Out Now:

Big Game Hunters by Shon Bury (Superman Adventures, Cable, Impulse) and Jok (Mix-Tape, Doctor Grordbort)

Mage, Inc. by Shon Bury (Superman Adventures, Cable, Impulse) and Ian Waryanto (Mage, Inc.)
