Move over Jetpack lite – the recent update of Jetpack 2.2.1 now has what tons of developers have been asking for: Developer Mode, where you can activate the plugin on a local environment for testing and all that fun stuff. People have been waiting a long time for this and now it’s finally here: Turn on Development Mode right now by adding define( ‘JETPACK_DEV_DEBUG’, true);to your wp-config.php file. A quick note: development mode automatically gets enabled if you don’t have a period in your site’s hostname, i.e. localhost. If you use a different URL, such asmycooltestsite.local or something, it is then that you will need […]

Creating a Drop-down Menu of Sub-pages

One of our responsibilities as developers is not only to make things work, but to make things work well (read: easily) for the end-user. I was recently handed a project where the client had a page that needed to display a drop-down menu of its sub-pages. There were 5+ pages like this. The seemingly easiest thing to do was make a template for each of these “special cases” and register a menu for each one. Making so many one-off page templates feels like a poor development practice. That’s a lot of repeated code. Not only that but any time the […]

Hey, that rhymes! BuddyPress has hit their RC1 Candidate and is going to be incredibly exciting for the thousands upon thousands of users who use BuddyPress for their sites: BuddyPress 1.7 is going to be one of our most exciting releases to date. It comes packaged with the same theme compatibility that was introduced in bbPress 2.0, which means that BuddyPress will now work out-of-the-box with a majority of the WordPress themes available today. This is going to be a really big deal. In terms of bbPress, what I’m excited are the forum migration tools that are being released:

It appears that yet again another large government site is being powered by WordPress – hopefully this one didn’t cost them millions of dollars – but at least the Republic of Colombia is using a free theme so perhaps they saved some cost there. They are using Dessign.net’s Font Folio Theme for their base style and look:

What We Can Learn From PyCon

By now you may have already encountered and/or read more than your fair share of the PyCon cluster-wah and how it all went down with developers, a “joke,” a picture, a tweet, and a technology evangelist. The net result of the Adria Richards vs “Dongles” was that she was relieved of her job at SendGrid as well as the developer who made the comment. For sure, this isn’t the first time that Adria Richards has publicly come forward and shared her perspective with others and I imagine it won’t be her last – for example, she once made this comment […]
