I'm looking into integrating something that can help me capture aggregate, and anonymous error monitoring using Sentry for a distributed WordPress plugin. Obviously this would be opt-in.

Is there someone out there who has actually done this who I can chat with? Looking for some insight on things to look out for, how to approach it, etc.

@alexstandiford I don’t remember how since it’s been a long time since I set it up, but you can configure Sentry to dump specific parameters. I imagine you could do the inverse with an allow list.

@travislopes Oh that's really good to know.

I was getting some pushback regarding privacy in some other circles, and it kinda freaked me out a bit. I really think having this data would be valuable though, so I want to figure it out.

I point to this post also for the community who should also have been asking the same question for a number of years even before COVID.

The last couple of months I’ve had numerous discussions on this topic with longtime developers in the community. Those leaving the community for whatever reason or one thing, but not focus on whose entering.

Next time you go to a WordCamp look around and see how many people are there under the age of 25 not with parents. https://drupal.community/@ultimike/112479234829553220

And this isn’t just #Drupal #WordPress - other mostly older products and technology communities are realizing the same thing. It’s a bigger trend and I think bigger than (at least for some of these communities) simply what competitor you have to worry about.

A related question:

I just noticed that stuff on my blog (which was hosted on URLold and now is hosted on URLnew) still points to URLold.

A quick inspection has shown that this is not a cache issue. When I look into the database, I can see that Wordpress introduced hard links for images like URLold/path/to/whatever/foto.jpg and similar stuff for other content.

The probably dumbest solution would be to replace all appearances of URLold with URLnew using sed or just an editor but ... there must be a better way? They cannot make their users edit the data base when the site migrates from URLold to URLnew. Right?

RIGHT?

@holger A search and replace is in fact the solution. But you need to beware of URLs stored in serialized PHP arrays. Doing a simple search and replace will break them.

I would use WP-CLI’s search-replace command to do this safely.

@janl @alda @danielaKay Alda gets my recommendation. When somebody knows WordPress then it's her. And Daniela is a wonderful person that deserves the help 😀

@acid @janl @danielaKay Yeah I just can't see the original post for some reason. Happy to help.

Current plan:

  • Build a replica of my website using .

  • Add an e-commerce section on top of it using WooCommerce.

  • Build an e-commerce section for my music on my current Jekyll website, using .

Then I'll decide which one's best, and potentially move on from Bandcamp. I'm not going to leave the platform, however I want to act on the principle of

@m2m doing similar today, have mirlo.space, jam.coop, kofi set up and attempting FairCamp.

There’s so much to do!

Maybe I’m crazy going full on Indie but also, I know it would suit my brain.

Seriously need to get over my phone-phobia, especially when I’m low/burnt out.

Best of luck with it all. I’m rooting for you!

It’s funny: powers about 40% of the internet but in the it is still the underdog ☺️

@wpcommaven @girlinblack but this is not really a WordPress problem or is it? https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/29747

@wpcommaven@mastodon.social avatar

@pfefferle knowing the origin of the issue hopefully will help to get it resolved. 😊 And thank you for all your hard work on this. ❤️

Regardless, until there is more granular control over how federated blog posts appear here, I've removed my WPcom site connection for now.

It's 20 years ago today that I registered my first account on the wordpress.org forums. I had been preparing to move my blog to 1.2 and needed some help.

It's been quite a ride. Such a wonderful, friendly and helpful community.

Je suis perdu avec et (ne me jugez pas, ou alors pas trop fort). Je ne trouve aucun moyen d'afficher le libellé de la catégorie d'un article dans l'article proprement dit.
Bêtement, j'imaginais pouvoir faire ça dans un template dédié aux articles dans le "thème builder" mais je dois mal m'y prendre.
(ni virer Wordpress ni virer Divi ne sont des options dans le cas présent, même si l'envie ne manque pas)

Any experts on here that could answer me a question?

Is there a way to bulk move a bunch of entries from one category to another ?

Amazing. Just discovered this function in which handles the sanitisation of cockney words. ❤️

@tallstorygames posted that into the UK Slack and according to the co-founder it was one of the first patches added to the b2 fork that eventually became WordPress

@rhyswynne Makes sense, when Wordpress was first developed back in the late 1800s.

really didn't do anyone any favours by making EVERYTHING a post and stuffing everything into the Posts table.

I don't know how they talked themselves into the idea that Media uploads are 'posts' but this is really bad architecture.

(Coming from someone trying to do some fancy migrating of media.)

syntaxseed,
@syntaxseed@phpc.social avatar

Like guys... there isn't a limit on the number of SQL tables you can have. It's not DB golf where fewer tables = better. 🤦‍♀️

syntaxseed,
@syntaxseed@phpc.social avatar

Exporting a month's worth of media uploads shouldn't be this complicated and shouldn't need a plugin.

The importer should allow me to import just the DB/Meta data if I don't check the 'download & import files' box (importing huge files from a password protected staging site) and allow me to just ftp the actual files up.

Utter nonsense.

So much of is actively hostile to the idea of having multiple environments.
