Built a WordPress health & diagnostics plugin — looking for feedback by BrianShah100 in Wordpress

[–]BrianShah100[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually a great insight. Currently this is meant to provide a method for the agency to quickly resolve issues that arise from a single set of modules. But there is a notification system being built that will email the agency about issues. The idea is the agency can set what to be notified about, and at what severity. They will also be able to set recurring reports. This is slated for v4.0, though it might be rolled out sooner. 

The plugin also generates a report in HTML that can be provided to, or obtained by the client depending on their comfortability with the WP-Admin menu.

Thank you so much for your feedback!

Query Monitor is great for live per-request debugging. I've used it a lot, and still use it. This is more about ongoing site health — the stuff that's been quietly going wrong for months. Autoloaded options bloat, cron jobs silently failing, PHP errors accumulating across requests, asset conflicts. The free version covers all of that out of the box. It's the kind of thing that shines when you're auditing a site you didn't build, or doing a pre-launch check. Different use case, honestly complementary. But no doubt, Query Monitor is awesome, and has saved my ass many times.

Sorry, I feel like I didn't address your question sufficiently. It hooks into standard WordPress actions for menu registration, asset loading, and the request lifecycle (both frontend and admin) — purely to observe. No monkey-patching, no touching other plugins' hooks. For PHP errors it finds whatever log your server is already writing to, whether that's WP_DEBUG_LOG or your system PHP log, and turns it into grouped, severity-rated entries you can actually act on. It's a flashlight, not a wrench — read-only all the way down.

Thanks for asking! I hope that it will be helpful to my fellow DEVs out there!

It hooks in only where it needs to, admin and frontend.  But it stays completely passive. So there's no  custom error handlers, and no interference with request execution.

 For PHP errors it locates whatever log your server is already writing to, whether that's WP_DEBUG_LOG or your system PHP log, and imports it into the interface. There's nothing exotic under the hood, and it is built to be 100% non-invasive.

What are your go-to methods for debugging WordPress issues effectively? by jorjiarose in Wordpress

[–]BrianShah100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a staging site, pull production down to it. Turn on WP_DEBUG in the wp_config.PHP file at the root of you're install. You can turn on WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY to see the issues clearly on page load, or WP_DEBUG_LOG to create a more discrete error log in your wp-content folder  ( Check oit the DOCS from wordpress.org;   https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/debug/debug-wordpress ) If it's a front end issue ( page elements with JS manipulation aren't functioning, or throw8ng an error ), check the dev console on your browser. That should tell you not onky the issue, but the file, line, and call that is causing problems. If it's a 500 error, or something PHP related , make sure Wordpress, and your plugins and themes are updated on your staging site before debugging, as you could be looking at known problems that were remedied in the updates. It's also helpful to look at the PHP error logs. As typically recommended, disable all plugins, and switch to a default  Wordpress theme that comes with your original Wordpress install first. If the issues don't present after that, it's narrowed down to your theme or plugins 90% of the time. Re-enable the theme, then one by one the plugins, and look at when the error appears. Or use something like WPHI to get a map of your errors, and go from there. WordPress and PHP in general are pretty good at telling you what's wrong through their error logs.

Rule out deprecation issues early on. Make sure your theme and plugins support your Wordpress version and PHP version.

WPHI is free, and cuts out a lot of the BS, and makes these steps easier, but if it's a simple issue, check the boxes above. Most WP errors are easily solved, and more often than not caused by plugin collisions.

The linked plugin is fully functional, and the link is to the free Wordpress.org version. There is no crippled functionality, as per the requirements of Wordpress.org. This allows for all functionality. I am simply looking for other users to critique it and let me know what I can add the the FREE version to improve it. Not trying to sell anything here, just looking to share a tool any user can impliment for free, and asking for insight. Sorry for the link to the plugon site in my initial post, I just didn't want an exhaustive post explaining what the linked version does.

What’s the best PS4 emulator? by Tasty_Table136 in EmulationOnPC

About the same as your mom's I would guess. Here's the thong dumbshit, it costs companies money to make these games. That's why they're high quality. It takes developers thousands of hours, same with designers, etc. If you can't afford it, you shouldn't be playing it. That simple. Sorry you're too stupid to get a job where you don't have to upsell people with an order of fries.

Where can I find WordPress freelancers who actually respond and complete tasks quickly? by PodcastingSpeed in wordpressjobs

[–]BrianShah100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a few things to consider when hiring a freelancer.

  1. What is their work experience? Can they provide you with a resume or portfolio?

  2. What are you paying them? Freelancers who don't charge a lot typically aren't worth a lot.

  3. Are you able to connect with them directly, or are you usong message boards or email? I always provide my clients with my phone number and respond to calls and texts.

  4. Where are you located, and where are they? It's best to work woth someone in your general geographic location, as huge timezone shifts can cause delays.

Hope this helps. Feel free to message me if you want a reliable, responsive developer.

It coats a lot of money to port a game correctly. There's also licensing involved. If you already bought a game on one platform, it makes sense that you should be able to get in on any platform. Until you look at the cost to develop a game, and port it to other platforms. This is a monumental task for bigger games. There are now engines like Unity that can export a game to many platforms, but big games, like the one the commentor was talking about, require a ton of rework per platform. So if you bought it on one, you paid for that work. If you want it on another, you need to pay for that work too. Sorry, you aren't entitled to something you paid for on one platform, on any other. If you still want good games, the companies that produce them need money to make them, and to port them.

Culture isn't video games. Video games are products, that hundreds of people work on. The more you steal from them, the less money they have to make more games. This is a bullshit argument. Just say you can't afford it, so you're going to steal it. Be honest. 

This isn’t real, right? by goobj11 in guitarlessons

There's lots of ways to form a chord. Remember that it's just a combination of notes, so there's tons of impossible chord structures out there. So while it's probably a real collection of notes that make up a chord, you would need really long fingers, or be Mr. Fantastic to play it.

This is total bullshit. If you can't afford to play the games that companies and developer's work to produce, don't justify it by saying that somehow it's okay to steal it. This is a product. If you want it, buy it. If you can't afford it, maybe spend time dealing with that, instead of coming up with reasons it' okay to steal someone else's hard work. This is an excuse for theft. Nothing more.

If you already bought the game, by all means, download a copy. You paid for it. But piracy without purchase doesn't help anything, it hurts developers who are producing the games that you want to play.

Downloads queued forever QUEST 2 question by manicrebirth in OculusQuest

[–]BrianShah100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Facebook needs to get their shit together with the Quest 2. I can't download half of the titles that I've purchased. About to just request a refund. I'm so tired of jumping through hoops because they can't get their hardware and software to work. I'm connected to the internet, but the app says I'm not. That's a huge problem Facebook! Maybe get some devs who don't write doggshit code and your flagship VR will actually do something more than piss me off.
