How to debug a #WordPress after an upgrade:

If you are not getting any errors in the error log or console.

Turn off all the plugins
- If the issue goes away, turn them on one at a time
- This will help you find the broken one!

If the issue persists...

MoSCoW is a great way to prioritise your tasks. It stands for:

- Must Have
- Should Have
- Could Have
- Won't Have

Here is what you do.

1. Plot your tasks on a graph with importance on the x axis and urgency on the y axis.
2. Divide your graph into four quadrants.

Are you a WordPress developer looking for a move into full time plugin development?

@iconicwp is hiring a Senior Developer to help support and expand their collection of Woo plugins.

Give them a ping if you are interested 👌

[Wholesome Code @wholesomecode]

I’m not saying I’ll never make a premium plugin, but right now my focus is education in the WordPress space.

[Wholesome Code @wholesomecode]

A few things are happening in the Wholesome Code space.

First up, I’m going to be migrating my site to @hashnode (https://t.co/XROm71xvSV) slowly over the next couple of months.

Don’t worry #WordPress I still love you, it just takes down my overheads so I can still write.

[Wholesome Code @wholesomecode]

Next up, you know how I have a few plugins that are premium and / or unreleased.

Well I’m going to be making them all free, hosted on GitHub, and as I migrate the blog posts I’ll reference code in them so you can use real World examples.

You know how when you download a Gutenberg WordPress plugin, the JavaScript is compiled and you can’t figure out how it works?

From today on I’ll not be doing that. Not even in any premium plugins I put out there.

Let’s keep Open Source, open.

[Wholesome Code @wholesomecode]

If you want to get started with WordPress in 2021, what is the best thing you can learn?

I'm wanting to put together some resources that a complete beginner can follow.

All ideas considered, please share this with something who might find this useful.
