On the off chance that you are running on an older version of #WordPress, consider mashing that upgrade button to bring yourself onto the latest branch today.
As someone who maintains at least a hundred some odd WP 6.2.x sites, I can assure you that the water is fine.
When writing about HTML/CSS/JS, how would you embed interactive demos into articles?
I consider to do something like using figure and figcaption elements, use an iframe inside the figure with the demo, add description and also provide the link to the code inside figcaption.
With #js enabled, it could maybe progressively enhance to a widget with html/css/js/result panels.
I often put the code directly into the #HTML of the article. In most CMS (if you use one?) there are plugins to add individual #CSS and #JS to each article.
In #WordPress I use the "scripts and styles" plugin. If I want to display the code as well, I use additional <pre> elements.
@ChrisHardie I would gather than many agencies consider that information "proprietary". 10up does a pretty nice job of documenting things for all to see.
@chris so for clarity is this a call for #WordPress Core to include it's own site migration tool internally?
As I've work with other CMSs now such as #CraftCMS & #Strapi they really don't have this solved internally either. With the vast amount of hosting platforms, some better than others,
I'm still not sure that even something in WordPress Core can solve this, especially if we are talking that both the new host and old host expected to use the same DNS name.
@techphotoguy hmm, interesting, I just did a whole talk on the subject of #WordPress site migrations at our last local #WPGR meetup.
I'm partially surprised as this, however I question how much site migration issues are a WordPress Core issue vs a hosting or plugin issue.
I do know, from my own research & testing, that plugins used to migrate sites can have vastly different requirements and compatibility with hosting providers.
I'd be curious to hear more from @chris on some of the details.
Hey fellow #WordPress users, what is the easiest way of adding google fonts (locally hosted) to a #Gutenberg theme such as Davis Blocks with a free plugin? 🤔

@davidbisset@mattmedeiros I don't know how no one has encountered what I have, but my city has "web development" shops, marketing companies & ISPs that sell cheap WordPress sites, but don't have ANY programmers on staff.
#WordPress has drastically reduced web development jobs in my city.
I've used #Akismet on my #WordPress blog to block spam since its early days. The folks over at #Automattic have just informed me that I'm in violation of their license terms because the Google ads I have on it make it "commercial" so I can't use their free license.
I write on my blog for fun, and most years the ads bring in less than the cost of an Akismet license.
This is stupid and short-sighted on Automattic's part. I would have paid a reasonable price; this ain't it. Bye, Akismet.
Also, I've been waiting a month and a half for #Automattic to fix a problem with the social sharing functionality in their #Jetpack#WordPress plugin which is preventing me from linking my social accounts to my blog. In that time I've been given zero useful information and a great deal of outright wrong information by their support staff (read the ticket, it's a whopper). This does not put me in a position to be well-disposed toward giving Automattic money.
OMG! Quick note to self: if you create a CPT in WordPress, do not create completely blank page templates as placeholders. Add something, anything in the template so you don't WSOD yourself.
You can't blame WP if you literally tell it to serve an empty page 🤦
Time to go outside for a walk and then make more coffee 😖 😂
I was extremely lucky to be one of the first to contribute to the MOBA, thanks to Anne McCarthy who kindly invited me to upload my piece "Rare Optics One".
