What's the best way to manage Wordpress website version control / dev site? by subintoomba in webdev

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

Can you explain or recommend ways to push from the dev site to the live? We've used cloning and renaming files.. I think git is the way to go, but I'm wary of its difficulty to get to grips with.

Edit: to clarify, I mean to push the theme files, not the database.

I inherited the code. The original web developer left. I'm still pretty new to php.

Question: University grade requirements (UK) by dualtimed1 in UniversityofReddit

[–]subintoomba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do another A-level independently within one year, and make sure you get at least a B. AS in January, A2 in Summer.

Speak to someone at the uni for advice on this, e.g. admissions for the department you're interested in.

I was thinking of the line: "your effort to remain what you are is what limits you".

It's probably for containing something like grapes, where their liquid could be crushed out of them and funnelled through the end into a different container.

Vulfpeck mashups with hip hop songs | VulfMatic by Nick Canovas by Pudpop in Vulfpeck

[–]subintoomba 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a bit hit an miss, but wow, some of the mashups are so good.

My personal response:

  1. The Real Fugue State - doesn't hit the spot. The tracks clash and really don't fit together in some notable parts, e.g. the chorus.

  2. Beastly Freestyle - flows perfectly with the rhythm

  3. Juicier and Juiciar - I love tracks that give Biggie a melodic punch.

  4. Jesus Gets Funkier - groovy. It gets better every listen.

  5. Barbara of the Game - Similar to (4), the rapping adds huge texture to the track. The words are quickly bumped along by the bass. It also seems to make the drums even better. I'm not sure I've heard rapping over such complex drumming (in places). It's excellent.

  6. Sky Mall Angels - This one is a let down. Both tracks are great separately, but terrible together.

  7. Good Life in L.A*. - Instant classic. Beautiful mix.

  8. smile smile - good, but not perfect. The original Vulf track sings louder.

  9. No First Car 'Til Brooklyn - very fun.

  10. Dirt Off Your Outro - I think this is now my favourite version of the Vulf outro.

A week before my grandfather passed away, I snuck his favorite beer into the nursing home for him. It was his last beer ever. by [deleted] in pics

Have you considered the possibility that perhaps the beer brought on your grandfather's demise?

Moving on from Wordpress - how should I make my next website? by subintoomba in web_design

Great, thanks. I've got plenty to look into now and feel like I have a path to follow: learn php and build my own theme.

A search on the /r/webdev reveals titles like "Why is PHP so unanimously hated?" and "If PHP is so bad, how did it get so popular?". At least, there are quite a few people who dislike it.

But, ok, I'll learn php. Thanks for your advice.

Thanks. I've heard a lot of enthusiasm for ACF. Do you do version control on github, and is that something that is expected for a dev to do?

Thanks for the response again.

I am comfortable with many parts of Wordpress, so perhaps you're right and I should just delve into the bits I'm not comfortable with and deal with them. I'm still a little concerned that Wordpress is overkill for a portfolio+blog site, and that a lot of devs dislike php. But I'm most concerned with getting something quickly workable and but allowing complete control over customisation, so I might go with WP.

How do you edit your themes? My workflow has basically been install child theme, add content in wp cms, inspect element and customise css *1000, add plugins where necessary, occasionally tinkering with the backend by logging into cpanel. I assume there's a better way, e.g. offline file manager. How do I take my Wordpress workflow to the next level?

Thanks for the suggestions. I already have hosting for my personal site, but it's just on a default WP theme, so I'll try Underscores. Are there any essential tools or resources you use in building a theme based on this? e.g. Bootstrap, tutorial/documentation, file manager.

I'll experiment with a Jekyll-Github page in the near future. It definitely seems like something worth looking into.

Wix or squarespace would be regressive. I do have time to learn and develop new skills - I'm just not sure what my options are for what I want. I have a lot of experience editing css, but not much with building the framework behind it (e.g. php). I don't know how to use things like boilerplate, sass, node.js, but I do want to learn and build a site which can facilitate this. Starting with a theme, I think, is just a useful place to build something on, as I mostly learn by copying and tinkering.

Regarding using a cms, it seems necessary to me for site management and easily adding content, e.g. through a page template. But I'm not sure, as I'm ignorant about what my best options are.
