This is Windows 11, XAMPP 3.30. Just look at it: I started getting this error when I tried to start MySQL in XAMPP recently and I have no idea why. The curious thing is that simply deleting the last log file in the MySQL/data folder fixes the issue: Do a browse on MySQL logs: Then... » read more
We’re using WP Media Folder. Suddenly we were seeing this message: But the images were small in both size and dimensions. It wasn’t that. When we checked the Chrome dev tools console we saw this message: Which started a minor scrabble to review our CORS settings on the bucket but then I had another thought:... » read more
I don’t know why but this took a lot longer than it should. GitHub GoPilot kept giving me code that didn’t work and then getting stuck in a loop when I tried to make it work. Code I found online simply didn’t work either. So what’s the big deal? I think I just misunderstood how... » read more

Here’s what worked for me: Click the little settings cog where the curl is generated in Postman: Now turn off multiline, turn off user long form and change quotes to double, like this: Now your curl will update,... » read more
We wanted to stop this leaking all our posts but also allow it for certain purposes with a username and password. Some solutions are very heavy-handed and can cause issues with plugins etc if you simply disable it all! With this method you can just lock down certain endpoints that you are worried about. This... » read more
Quite specific this but it was hard to work out, with ChatGPT and GitHub CoPilot failing to come up with a solution. We have a custom_post type ‘case_study‘, and a taxonomy, ‘category‘ (which is also used by other post types) and we wanted to display a dropdown list of the taxonomy items only if there... » read more
We needed to create an RSS feed of WordPress posts that had been deleted, and it doesn’t exist out of the box, but it is very simple to create one. This information is available by searching but I thought it would be useful to have a single resource for this specific case. We’re going to... » read more
