Local By Flywheel + WP CLI
At the time of writing this article – I am referring to Local version 6.1.2 – on Mac OS. Local by flywheel is a fantastic tool for quick WordPress development. However running CLI commands on WP CLI requires you to right click and open site ssh (on Mac OS). To remedy this there is a two step process – i would suggest doing this at the very start of creating your project as this allows you to quickly use wp cli right from the command line. Firstly – you need wp-cli installed globally. If you’re on a mac use Homebrew […]

So – it’s good to get back together with some old friends. We are very excited about the new world we are about to head out into – and all the […]

Understanding the Arrow function ( in javascript )
Why was the arrow function created ? As you may know that the arrow function was added to ES6. Why was this added though ? To solve two things. 1. Shorter function declarations 2. to solve the “this” problem 1. Shorter function is self evident: Lets take simple array manipulation. The map() method creates a new array with the results of calling a provided function on every element in the calling array Example A: Let us find the sqaure root of a given list of numbers var listofNumbers = [4,9,25]; console.log(listofNumbers.map(Math.sqrt)); //[2,3,5] In fact to lessen any possible confusion for […]

True colors
At the height of the nakabandhi, I was returning from work, in front of my home, I saw this man being dragged across the street. Bloodied, unable to move. It was winter, maybe January i dont remember. Naturally as people do. They gathered around. What followed next was hard to watch. Instead of helping the poor guy. They started hurling abuse at him. Why? Because he was a “madhesi”. After a while everyone left, ofcourse they would, after all, it was winter. This man was left their, in the cold, bloodied, drunk, half conscious. I couldnt do it. I couldn’t […]

Digthis Filter Hooks
https://wordpress.org/plugins/digthis-action-filters/ Ever had that feeling where you hook into and action or a filter and for some reason your code isn’t working? well 9 / 10 the reason is your hook is in a lower priority(in case of filters) and it can simply be determined by searching through the code for that particular filer? Seems, a tedious amount of time doesn’t it? I’ve created a plugin for just that reason, it lists all hooks and filters and allows you to search through them to see whats being hooked. To do this i’ve used a helper class from Query Monitor where […]
