Advanced Custom Fields(ACF) + Page Builder at WordPress meetup Stockholm 2016...
Editors, designers and developers all have very different requirements and ideas of what a great CMS implementation and experience is. We will tell you about how we do to meet the designer’s requirements “Here’s how it should look”, the editor’s demands on “This is what I want to be able to edit” and give the developers the tools they need to be able to store and display the data in an easy and flexible way.

WordPress by a Dummy
Installing popular plugins like W3 Total Cache, BackupBuddy, iThemes Security, and Yoast SEO can help get a WordPress site running with minimal effort. Using managed WordPress hosting services can help with server maintenance, security updates, and technical support. When choosing a hosting provider, it is important to consider their response time, level of support, and ability to promptly resolve issues.
A word press site even your mother can use
What is the best WordPress plugin combination to make an easy to administer website for your client? I will go over a handful of plugins that I use to create maintenance free websites that even the most tech adverse client can use to create their own pages and media rich posts.
I needed to make a WordPress site for a friend who draws comics. He isn’t very computer literate, but needed a site he could make updates to himself which also would allow him to sell his own illustrations and other physical media on.
SydPHP Presentation
This document summarizes two demos from Steven Cooper of PayPal/Braintree - the V.Zero demo of a payments platform that works behind the scenes, and the Blockify demo of an open source block manager for Bootstrap themes. It provides information on installing and using Blockify to create customizable blocks, and encourages attendees to find out more about Braintree and Blockify on their websites and to provide feedback.
Netbeans dev and ecosystem
NetBeans is faster at starting up and more stable than Eclipse. It uses Swing for its GUI rather than SWT, and has a custom plugin development format based on OSGI. The document discusses why the author chose NetBeans over Eclipse and IntelliJ for Java Swing development - its stability, customizability through plugins which he has developed, and open source nature. It also mentions his research into toolchain and assembler development using the NetBeans platform.

WP-CLI - WordCamp Miami 2015
Slides for the talk I gave at WordCamp Miami in 2015 about managing WordPress from the command line using the WP-CLI library.
WP-CLI Talk from WordCamp Montreal
WP-CLI is a command line interface tool that allows users to manage WordPress from the command line. It is useful for developers, theme designers, and server administrators. To use WP-CLI, one needs SSH access and a "UNIX-like" environment like Linux, OSX, or Cygwin. Installing WP-CLI involves downloading the phar file, setting permissions, and moving it to a useful location like /usr/local/bin/wp. Common commands include installing and managing plugins, interacting with the database, searching and replacing content, generating test content, and more.
On premise cross-browser testing
This document summarizes a webinar about on-premise cross browser testing solutions. It discusses how online and on-premise testing solutions work, the advantages of on-premise solutions like testing local environments offline and keeping data secure on the local network. Two on-premise solutions are demonstrated - Multibrowser and BrowseEmAll - and the document provides criteria for when on-premise solutions are preferable to online options, such as when testing mainly for desktop browsers or having security concerns. It concludes with contact details for the solutions.
Plugging Chocolatey into your Puppet Infrastructure PuppetConf2014
Are you managing Windows? Longtime Windows system admin? Do you enjoy long walks on the beach thinking about how it would be awesome to have Linux-style package management on Windows?
Well you, sir or madam, are in luck! Chocolatey will help you get jiggy with it and get your Puppet package management in much the same way that you already enjoy with other platforms. During this talk we will go over how you can be successful hooking Chocolatey into Puppet, creating your own packages, and setting up an internal package repository. Even if you've seen Chocolatey before, we have something new and Puppety we'll be showing at this talk!
Vim Plugin Deployment
This document discusses best practices for deploying Vim plugins. It recommends using Git for version control, hosting the repository on GitHub, and structuring the plugin code at the root directory. The document also suggests using vim-makefile to build a Vimball file, then deploying to vim.org and mentioning the GitHub repository to announce and share the new plugin.
WordPress & AJC
The document discusses the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's use of WordPress for their blogs and websites. It details how they started with around 50 blogs generating 8% of traffic and now have over 1 billion annual pageviews. It provides information on their development workflow, use of child themes and plugins, and contact details for their WordPress developers.
Frontend testing with Codeception
Made for T3DD19
Every developer has made the experience that new changes to a project end up breaking existing code. In a worst-case scenario, these new errors sneak into the production system unnoticed.
In order to ensure that your website works, ideally before deploying the code, you should implement automated tests. While most developers are very familiar with functional and unit tests, they often shy away from frontend tests.
I want you show you how easy it can be to set up and run browser-based tests with codeception. This way, you can rest assured that your frontend doesn't break without you noticing.
Use Powershell to make your life easy.
This document introduces Powershell as a way to automate tasks and make life easier. It discusses how Powershell can be used to retrieve system information like serial numbers and IP addresses much faster than doing it manually. The document argues that Powershell is easy to learn and use through cmdlets and scripts. It encourages the reader to start automating repetitive tasks and creating their own Powershell scripts to save time and effort.
Optimizing WordPress (WordCamp Philly 2011)

Meet The Family (Philippines Remix)
This document introduces WordPress and several related projects. It describes WordPress as a state-of-the-art publishing platform used by millions that is easy to install, customizable, and open source. WordPress MU allows hosting many blogs with shared user accounts and administration. BbPress is a powerful lightweight forum system that can integrate with WordPress. BuddyPress creates a social network using WordPress MU and plugins. BackPress and GlotPress are shared code libraries and translation tools built on WordPress principles.
Mobile web application
This document discusses challenges in developing mobile web applications. It summarizes issues encountered like lack of repainting, ghost clicks, and HTML5 video bugs across different mobile browsers. It also provides suggestions for debugging mobile browsers like enabling debugging in Safari, using the ADB Chrome extension, and Weinre for the Android Browser. Mobile development requires extra effort to account for variations in browser standards implementation and behavior.
Word press for lazy people
To quickly get a WordPress site up and running with minimal effort, some recommended plugins include W3 Total Cache for performance optimization, Akismet for spam protection, and iThemes Security for security hardening. Divi is a popular premium theme that offers an intuitive drag-and-drop builder interface and lifetime free updates for $69. Alternatively, free themes are available on Envato starting at $0-100 that can be used to get a basic site online quickly. When choosing a hosting provider, support quality should be the top priority area of evaluation.
Angels versus demons: balancing shiny and inclusive
The modern web developer faces a moral choice when creating sites and apps. The angel on your shoulder tells you to use standards and respect accessibility across users of AT, older browsers, mobile, etc. The devil on your other shoulder meanwhile tells you to use all the shiny, satisfy your ego, and leave user agents over two weeks old in the dust.
This talk walks you through the dilemma, looking at the perils of embracing the serpent and presenting solutions that will allow you to achieve a satisfactory compromise. We know the devil has all the good albums, and we want to rock out as much as you do! But not at the expense of the Web’s greatest strengths!
Good WordPress Gone Bad – How To Troubleshoot WordPress When Things Go Wrong
We’ve all been there. Your finger is on the mouse, ready to click, but you pause. You think to yourself, “Will this click be the one that I regret? The one that can’t be undone?”
Sometimes you’re working away when you get the dreaded error message. Frustrated and confused you think, “Great, now what do I do?”
WordPress is an amazing platform that offers a lot of flexibility and control, but with that flexibility comes more complex problems. Many people who are unfamiliar with WordPress are often afraid of making a mistake. Fear and apprehension are common emotions when a WordPress site has an issue. Knowing how to solve a few of the most common problems can give even beginners the confidence to use WordPress without anxiety.
Some of the topics that will be covered include:
What is a good backup strategy for when things go wrong?
How do you use revision history to undo mistakes?
What should you do when you see, “Error establishing a database connection.”
What to do when you see only a blank white screen?
Troubleshooting WordPress
This document provides guidance on troubleshooting common WordPress problems. It begins by emphasizing the importance of backing up websites before making changes. Potential areas of trouble include databases, plugins, themes, and content. Basic troubleshooting steps include disabling all plugins, switching to the default theme, and then re-enabling plugins and themes individually. Common issues covered include the white screen of death, syntax errors, out of memory errors, 500 internal server errors, missing sidebars, maintenance mode issues, and database connection errors. The document recommends searching online resources and forums if initial troubleshooting does not resolve the problem and hiring an expert if issues remain unsolved.
Battling the WSOD - A Tech Support Tale
The document discusses common WordPress support issues like the White Screen of Death (WSOD) and provides tips for troubleshooting and resolving them. It recommends first checking error logs for clues, then disabling or updating plugins and themes. If issues persist, it suggests allocating more memory, scanning for malware, restoring from backup, or creating a clean install. The document also offers commands for the WP-CLI tool to help manage WordPress installations and troubleshoot problems.

WordPress maintenance - Keeping it all running smoothly
How to keep your WordPress website running smoothly with regular maintenance. How to fix a site broken by a plugin update.
Debugging common errors in WordPress by Steve Mortiboy
- WordPress support is provided through community forums rather than a phone number; paid support is also available.
- When debugging errors, always back up your site, enable debugging tools like WP_DEBUG, isolate issues by disabling plugins/themes, and search online for error messages.
- Common issues like the white screen of death can often be solved by disabling plugins and themes to identify conflicts. Caching also needs to be disabled for proper troubleshooting.
Debugging WordPress for Site Owners
- The document provides tips for debugging WordPress sites when issues arise such as white screens. It recommends staying calm, finding the root cause by asking questions, enabling debugging tools like WP_DEBUG, and searching error logs and developer tools for clues. Key advice includes not troubleshooting live sites, using a staging site with backups, disabling plugins and themes gradually to isolate the problem, and preventing issues by using well-supported code.

MWUG wp-myths
The document discusses several common myths about WordPress performance and security. It notes that while some plugins can slow a site down, others speed it up or have no effect. Inactive plugins and themes still need updates for security. Revisions and trash do not significantly impact performance. WordPress scales well for large sites. It is used by major companies and organizations, not just blogs or amateurs. WordPress security has improved, but proper precautions like updating plugins are still needed. Function calls are cached so removing them prevents functionality.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Editor's Notes
- In this session we will go through ‘common’ problems with WordPress and what to do about them. Common is way too vague, but what we will cover is the best way to troubleshoot when your site is not acting the way it is supposed to. We will aim this talk at the beginner, our goal is to stay away from code and error logs to show you what you can do to troubleshoot your site if problems arise.
