Does anyone have recommendations for a business coach? WordPress ecosystem experience useful, but not strictly necessary. Shares appreciated 🙏

Using #WordPress multisite and want to switch the context to another site in the network? Well you can, using the switch_to_blog() function. Just make sure you also use the restore_current_blog() function when you are done! ##learnWPFunctions https://bit.ly/4508sHK

If you want to show the number of posts you have on your site in a specific post type, you can easily do this using the #WordPress wp_count_posts() function. Pass it a post type and you are good to go! ##learnWPFunctions https://bit.ly/43F2PfJ

If you want to know what objects (e.g. post types) are registered against a specific taxonomy, you can use the get_object_taxonomies() function to do this. There are lots of #WordPress functions that we have probably never come across - this is another. ##learnWPFunctions https://bit.ly/4krFVQc

Live at 13:30 (UK time) for episode 124 to talk about: - View transitions - This weeks development work - Offline Kids Hope you can join us 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbEv...

If you have a #WordPress pages slug (or path if it is a child page) you can use the get_page_by_path() function to return the page object. Another useful but less known WordPress function. ##learnWPFunctions https://bit.ly/3HirOhl

What is FAIR and why am I involved? I wrote about it here: carriedils.com/wordpress-fa... #FAIRPM #WordPress

We are live in 5!

The esc_js() #WordPress function escapes javascript for safe inline JS output. For example using inline JS on an HTML element. It forms part of a number of esc_ functions that WP provides which I would recommend all developers familiarise themselves with. https://bit.ly/4krEukM ##learnWPFunctions

On today's show @keithdevon.com and @markwilkinson.dev are talking about: - Our latest project pitch - Receiving a 3rd party security questionnaire - Other related #WordPress news Join us at 13:30 (UK time) 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4zU...

The remove_accents() function remove accents from characters in a string. For example é would become e. I am not quite sure why you would want to use this but an interesting #WordPress function nonetheless. https://bit.ly/3FAyA1w ##learnWPFunctions

I am hearing a lot of positive vibes about this #FAIR project. Could someone let me know what it is in its most simple form... so that even I can understand it 😂

Another really useful and unknown #WordPress function is trim_words() Allows you to trim a string to a certain number of words and then sent "more" text which shows to indicate to the user there is more to read. https://bit.ly/4dSY8nq ##learnWPFunctions

Number 2 in #learnWPFunctions is wp_strip_all_tags() This function removes all HTML tags from a string. I use this to prevent the output of terms linking to their archive page. https://bit.ly/43Vky3M

Lots to talk about in todays episode. Hope you can join us.

#WordPress has lots of wonderful functions available to developers, some better known than others. ##learnWPFunctions #1 - make_clickable(). Wraps a strings in a clickable a tag. https://bit.ly/4knrNHP

Better Core Video Embeds has just gotten slightly better with a small release which improves the way in which the plugins CSS is loaded on the front end. Optimise your #WordPress sites videos today 👇 wordpress.org/plugins/bett...

Today I have that developer feeling of when you have worked on something for a number of weeks and it works 😃 You push it live and it works 🤣 3 days later, it doesn't work, you can't work out why and therefore you abandon the work and go back to how it was 😢

Recently I have been working on adding settings to the block editor to save data as post meta. Initially I tried to add a new sidebar to the editor to house my settings but failed. I wish I had seen this from @permanenttourist.ch before I started. https://bit.ly/4jkKcUn

Have you watched or listened to an episode of @wpcafe.show yet? We go out most weeks on Friday at 13:30 (UK time) and talk about all things #WordPress development, running our development agency and building our WordPress products. Catchup on previous episodes 👇 https://bit.ly/3ed1x2w

I don't know about you, but I use WP_Query a lot when coding in #WordPress. This article from @spacedmonkey.bsky.social is a great resource on how to enhance your use of WP_Query. Well worth a read. https://bit.ly/4kwUVfa

Recently I gave a talk @wpldn.bsky.social which was a case study of how we built a recent #WordPress site using full site editing and the block editor. It is always great to catchup with the WordPress community ❤️ https://bit.ly/4kC1iy6

Got my new sit stand desk yesterday - to replace the one that failed. Spent all night last night putting it together. This evening will be spent setting everything up. Looks nice although a little deeper than the other one.

Adding a custom sidebar in the WordPress Block Editor permanenttourist.ch/2025/05/plug...

I have been working on integrating background processing and queuing for JobRelay. I am using the Delicious Brains repo for this. github.com/deliciousbra... I am struggling to understand the difference between an "Async" request and a "Background process". Can anyone help?

Does anyone know the current status of the iFramed editor when using ACF blocks? I _really_ want to update my editor to the iFramed version, but still not sure if this is possible with ACF. 2023 post here: www.advancedcustomfields.com/blog/acf-blo... and issue here: github.com/AdvancedCust...

Listeners of @wpcafe.show will know that my sit/stand desk broke a white ago. Well, thanks to Ikea for honouring their 10 year warranty as they are delivering a brand new desk this week. Might be standing again on this weeks show!

If, like me you get frustrated every time you move a window towards the menu bar on your Mac and it fills the screen, you can turn it off 👍 ✅ It is under System Settings > Desktop & Dock and you toggle of the "Drag windows to menu bar to fill screen" option.

Back today at the usual time. I will explain about some recent development work I have been done on our JobRelay product. Hope you can join us 🤞

This week has been spent learning how to use The WP Background Processing class from Delicious Brains. I have been improving the way JobRelay works to send jobs in the background rather having the provider wait for a response. Working well so far and ready to rollout soon.

We're back with another episode of the WP Café show. Going live in 5! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW_J...

For a long time I have advocated for #WordPress multisite and recently I have seen others do the same. However, I am starting to think the other way. In particular, how do agencies handles staging and local dev for large multisite installations?

I recently spent a week cruising the Norwegian Fjords. Absolutely stunning place. Looking across the Fjord was like looking at a painting. If you get the chance to go, I would highly recommend it.
