What Are Must Use Plugins in WordPress?

Posted on September 2, 2021 by Robbie Adair

What Are Must Use Plugins in WordPress? The plugin system is one of the most powerful aspects of WordPress. The ability to extend the functionality of the CMS quickly and easily is unparalleled in other platforms. Plugins are typically installed and maintained through the WordPress administration interface, and end up in /wp-content/plugins/ in their own folder.

Posted on September 1, 2021 by Robbie Adair

It’s April 14, 2010. I’m on a motorcycle on my way from where I live, outside of Cincinnati, to a town called Sussex, New Brunswick up in Canada to teach at a university for the week.

So, I pulled out my Macbook Pro, tethered it to my iPhone 3, and in about 20 minutes, his problem was fixed. So the question for today is: Has anything about that scenario changed?

Thanks for joining me today, and of course the answer is YES! A ton has changed.

How to Set Up a Drupal Workflow in cPanel with Git

Posted on August 6, 2021 by Bugs Bunny

Unlike other CMSs, the update of Drupal core is not difficult, but somehow complicated because of all the details involved. In this tutorial, we are going to implement a local Drupal 9 installation, and then we will upload (push) this codebase to a central repository on Bitbucket. We will then download (pull) the codebase from this repository to the live server, where the website is going to be stored.
