I have a Development, Staging and Production workflow for my WordPress site. I am fairly strict about any structural work to be done on the site being done in Staging first, then migrated to Production. I feel some changes may be better done on Production through the admin interface, such as a simple logo change, … Read more
I did some searching before asking and didn’t quite come across an answer. Recently I started on a project where they were hosting the development version of WP on an internal multisite, and I was tasked to bring it to a more modern workflow. The setup is Development (localhost) > Staging (Client Approval) > Production … Read more
Is there a secret workflow I don’t know for developing WordPress sites? I am constantly finding I have to either update permalinks or sign out and sign back in to see changes. Sometimes I have to do both. I am using MAMP and Coda 2 as my IDE. I’d love a list of tricks to … Read more

DATABASES MOVE DOWN, CODE MOVES UP This idea is presented both in a WPEngine support article for WordPress and in another article called “No More Cowboy Coding.” The idea is that a … Read more
I would like to moderate WordPress users’ edits to their own profiles. As I understand it, the default would be for the profile changes to go online immediately. Instead, I’d like to leave the older version online, until an Admin has approved the edit. I’ve checked several of the moderation plugins (e.g. Revisionary), and the … Read more
Basically: I want my work to be meaningful and efficient. I am considering making my local development AND staging database the same thing. I would develop on my local machine but have the SQL data stored on a web server. I could build the site and move the important parts to staging where I can … Read more
