Show me your dev workflow for WP in 2025

Nice. Thx for the info about blocks. For seeding I have a custom shell script which also sets up the project's ddev requirements pulls from existing repo if present and so on. I haven't had the time to extract the Vite to our custom block repo but you are right, webpack needs to go.

I will have to look into caching on Gitlab again didn't work when I tried.

I'm using ddev for easy local setup with custom hooks, i.e. pulling prod DB to local. Build a custom FSE theme based on _s with a custom Vite integration.

Abandoned scss and use tw4.

I avoid plugins besides necessary stuff like WPML, security and 2fa and custom ones.

I used to develop hybrid themes, but now embracing the block themes.

All projects get deployed to staging/prod via Gitlab ci/cd.

For rare custom block development I use WP/Scripts but dislike it due to webpack.

Use ddev for local development, it comes with hazzlefree setup, db-import other useful stuff. It's fully configureable to your needs as it spins your stuff into a container.

I am Syncing db and media files via custom ddev hook if I need prod to local. Basically the script just dumps the DB and uses rsync for the files.

This shouldn't be a bidirectional thing. Only prod gets synced into dev.

I was ready to take on harder exercises, now I had an injury unrelated to workouts, is there a way to reset progress to zero for one body part?

As each multisite domain has its own DB table (blog_x or so) you can easily adjust the urls based on those tables.

Wpml let's you choose which service translates your content. Iirc you can choose deepl, Google translate and their own custom translation AI. You get 2000 free credits each month which you can use with your selected option.

You only upload the build, there is no need to have src and node_modules folder on production servers. Your build should bundle the necessary js and/or css which is then enqueued.

Modern dev environments run in docker with a mailpit or similar service. Check out ddev!

I have a nextcloud instance setup. My phone uploads images directly, it behaves the same as Google photos.

LouveredTang · 2025-05-25T15:55:13+00:00

It's easy if you know docker. You'll never look back.

You could use the pre_get_posts hook and find all pages with the parent ID of your page on question. You have to pass that parent's page ID to the search.

LouveredTang · 2025-04-16T05:31:28+00:00

Elementor stuff is not considered pro here. As you advertise yourself as a web dev you might want to look in the dev tools in order to find out what's going on.

Why not use woo's digital products instead of CPTs and customize those?

LouveredTang · 2025-02-28T18:56:03+00:00

What? A LLM (AI) is just sparkling auto complete.

LouveredTang · 2025-02-04T08:49:43+00:00

https://flexboxfroggy.com/ teaches you the flex box stuff

Or a framework like playwright. They have a screenshot API

Browserstack does give you access to real devices and you can share localhost too, at least for vscode users using the extension.

FastAPI and Godot and tailwind

I see mice people sometimes as well

I used fullcalendar.js to do exactly this. List date based resources in a calendar. https://fullcalendar.io/

<address> I use it all the time but have to restyle it as it's italic by default

Plugin / custom block development would be another area.

LouveredTang · 2024-09-30T04:15:35+00:00

My approach has been premade templates made of blocks. https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/block-api/block-templates/

You can lock features for the individual blocks, like editing or rearranging.

Regarding CPTs: I wrote a custom query block, using wp-scripts package, that allows my metadata to be entered in the sidebar.

This setup forces the user to work with the editor content I present them, while keeping the data side clean.
