PHP, Ubuntu Desktop, and WordPress… and I’m perfectly happy with that.
Fight me.
Kind of lame. I don’t like it when plugins add fluff to my content/website. Aside from mentioning it here, I may submit a ticket for this to find out if it’s a bug or feature.
Cleaning up some personal projects and performing some maintenance on some personal deployments.
The Site Editor gives you a powerful way to visually create every part of your site and tell your story.
Backing up a WordPress website using WP-CLI (WordPress Command Line Interface) involves several steps. Here’s a general guide on how to do it:
If you haven’t already installed WP-CLI, you’ll need to do so. You can find the installation instructions on the WP-CLI’s official website.
You’ll need SSH access to your server. Once you’ve logged in, navigate to the root directory of your WordPress installation.
To backup your WordPress database, use the following WP-CLI command:
wp db exportThis command will create a .sql file in your WordPress directory. This file contains all of your WordPress database information.
You also need to backup your WordPress files, including themes, plugins, and uploads. To do this, you can use a command like rsync or tar. For example:
tar -czvf yoursite_backup.tar.gz /path/to/your/wordpress/directoryThis command will create a compressed archive of your WordPress directory.
After creating the backup files on your server, you’ll need to download them to a safe location. You can use an FTP client or a command like scp for this purpose.
Optionally, you can write a script to automate the backup process and schedule it to run regularly using a cron job.
Remember, while WP-CLI is a powerful tool, you should be comfortable with command-line interfaces and have the necessary permissions on your hosting server to perform these actions.
Manually creating a WordPress user in the database involves adding a new entry to the wp_users table and assigning the necessary user capabilities. Here are the steps to do this:
Please exercise caution when making direct changes to your WordPress database, as incorrect changes can break your site. Make sure to back up your database before proceeding.
wp_users Table:wp_users table.wp_users table.user_login: Enter the desired username for the new user.user_pass: Generate a secure password hash. You can use online tools to create password hashes or use WordPress’s built-in wp_hash_password function. Make sure to select the MD5 option when entering the password hash.user_nicename: This can be the same as the user_login.user_email: Enter the email address for the new user.user_registered: Set the registration date in the format “YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS”.display_name: The display name for the user.wp_users table.wp_users table (it’s typically an auto-incremented number) and then add an entry in the wp_usermeta table.wp_usermeta table.user_id: The ID of the new user from the wp_users table.meta_key: Enter wp_capabilities.meta_value: Insert a serialized array with the user’s capabilities. For example, to make the user an administrator, you can use a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}.Please be extremely careful when making changes directly to the database, and ensure that you have a backup in case anything goes wrong. It’s recommended to use the WordPress admin interface to create and manage users whenever possible to avoid potential issues.
This code is typically used when migrating a WordPress site from one domain to another, ensuring that all references to the old domain are updated to the new domain.

I’m vibing on the updated default theme, Twenty Twenty-Four. Great job to the contributors!
