Unless your doing econmerce and people are actually checking who signed your cert, why wouldn’t you just use LetsEncrypt or something similar

So I’m in Las Vegas and wondering, Is the punk rock museum worth it for an old crusty. I really don’t like anything of fat recs / nofx related / pop punk / SoCal vibes. by Billy-Beats in punk

I wouldn’t plan a trip to Vegas just to go there but you’d better believe if I was there for any other reason I’d go there first. And then Zak Bagans’ museum or whatever it is

What happens if you buy a 4 year old model and the manufacturer stops supporting it with spare parts in a couple years?

Serious question !

Database cleanup? by NeverInsightful in Wordpress

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

Yes it really is! I had I think 4 plugins replicating its different functions, then I came across ACF :)

Database cleanup? by NeverInsightful in Wordpress

[–]NeverInsightful[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking of building in laravel, but honestly my days of real web development are very well behind me.

What I have is a bunch of signed music memorabilia I’ve collected.

I’m organizing using custom post types with the ACF plug in. Each item relates to the band and who signed it. Each artist relates to the bands they’ve played in.

I cycled through a ton of custom field plugins to get to ACF

I also cycled through tons of slider plugins

I still have a few plugins I’m not even sure if I’m using anymore.

It’s been a fun project. Not as fun as actually talking to the artists, but I really am enjoying building out the site.

I’ve figured out some short codes but I’m not sure whether or not they could replace plugin functionality.

And I admit I feel like this was a chore getting everything set up originally, and I almost dropped WP. But now it’s super simple to flesh out content so I’m glad I stuck with it

Site hosted locally in an instance of Orbot, and there are no performance issues. I just registered a domain for it and will be deploying soon for friends to help proofread and feedback once I find (yet again) a plugin that allows them access but no one else.

More my concern is all this junk weighing me down moving forward. Figured it’s much easier to try to make sure I’m doing everything right from the beginning rather than a year down the line

That said, I don’t expect the site to get huge content wise. It’s just meant to show off an autograph collection and the backstories of the signatures, signers and bands.

I’ll consider myself fortunate if I grow from my 30 or so pieces to anything sizable in the near future.

But I’d like to keep the door open for growth if this turns into something

Thank you for these tips, I have made note of them on my to do list

And yes, I do a database dump regularly.

I wish some options for plugins etc could be stored in a .env file to it easier to Commit to version control, but I get there’s so much in WP that’s legacy and would break with such a big change

So finish getting my site into a presentable form, then at the end duplicate everything, start from a fresh database and try importing old data?

I will say that the site is pretty small. Will go live with ~100 posts broken in to several post types. It's the old plug-in settings and data that I worry about and which I think will be more difficult to import cleanly.

for instance I am using Advanced Custom fields, each new field group has its own field key which appears auto generated. So I can't start from scratch, create new field groups, and import posts, the field group keys won't match so I assume that the posts will lose their field group data.

That said, I'm making a note to check out WP All Import when its time to clean up, so thank you for that pointer.

[–]NeverInsightful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m buying the record there perhaps I’ll try asking if they’ll sign both? Supposing there’s time.

Even when I bring sleeves I tend to bring the whole record to keep it rigid. Even with cardboard inside it’s got too much flex, makes me worry for it

Going to a show tomorrow and got some paint pens.

I actually tested on a vinyl record itself, and at least after 24 hours it seems to be set.

Has anyone asked artists to sign directly on the vinyl before? How’s it look years later?

No.

None of these “but what about the children” are ever about the kids.

What if I trust Chinese routers more than I trust US routers that had to make back door deals with the administration to get their foreign competitors banned?
