I recently had to make a diagonal strikethrough style to use on single word throughout a site.

To rename the default WordPress posts put this into your functions.php file.

I like to embrace the system with which we build our websites and display things like this with no alteration... But try getting a job with that attitude!!

Recently I built a site that needed to have terms that matched the name of every custom post type ‘brand’

You need to register the taxonomy ‘category’ again with no arguments. You can do this by adding the below snippet

As I had partitioned all of my work into posts I wanted somewhere I could view the images only and then click through to the post with which the image was associated with if the image piqued my interest.

I used this to stop anyone adding terms to a taxonomy that we needed to be set to a set of specific terms. Once they were added to the databases across all environments the below was added to the functions file.

We will not actually disable the page. As far as I can tell these cannot be disabled (please do let me know if they can). We will redirect it to the home page. Good practice, no, good for the user, no, time saving, yes. Please! If anyone has any ideas that would make this nicer please share.

If you want to do some crazy hover effects using javascript on multiple elements on a page then use this structure. This technique is useful if you want to use something from the mousemove event, like the mouse position.

Finding the best way to include SVG files in Wordpress can be a little confusing. There doesn't seem to be a clear answer anywhere.

This means it isn't running through all the Wordpress functions that are not relevant to our particular scenario thus increasing the speed of the query drastically.

I found out recently that you should not be using a custom WP_Query on an archive page if you don't want to cause major issues with your pagination. However, for this particular Custom Post Type archive page I needed to set a different number of posts per page than was set in the admin settings for the blog page.

I recently had to write an alert to a user after the saving of an ACF options page. I did so by using the Wordpress admin_notices action.

Google map embeds have recently become a massive pain in the butt. You need api keys to embed them, which is fine but the documentation is seriously disjointed and overly complicated.

This is a hack and it should be noted that if you want a fading slider then you should search for one that has this built in.

This Applescript can be used in Mac's Automator application to receive a list of urls and open them all in new tabs in Google Chrome.

I looked for an elegant way to find the URL of a specific size of the Featured Image in Wordpress for a while. This is a nice way.

The correct way to setup redirects within the Wordpress .htaccess file is to put your redirects above the Wordpress pretty permalinks code.

In a nutshell we needed to change an individual post's category on a given date (via an ACF field) sometime in the future.

This is a relatively simple task but important for us to begin automating some of the more dreary tasks we have to complete in the studio.

The documentation does not have all of these listed (as far as I can tell) but here they are pulled straight from the code.

When adding a custom image size in your Wordpress functions file using add_image_size() it is not automatically added to your media upload image size dropdown menu.

I created a scroll animation that I wanted to happen 3 seconds after the page had loaded.

Here is some simple jQuery to test if a user has scrolled or clicked on your page.

Below are a list of some useful commands for working with public/private keys on a server over ssh.

I now often need to use srcset to provide a list of possible images for the browser to choose from I need to find the urls of various sizes of the Featured Image.

I then wanted to access the $count variable that I had attached to my Wordpress loop within that template.

If you have named a branch incorrectly AND pushed this to the remote repository follow these steps before any other developers get a chance to jump on you and give you shit for not correctly following naming conventions.

Sometimes we want to use only the Bootstrap grid in a project and not everything else.
