  1. Hi. I’m Alex
 I like WordPress and Natalie MacLees Made

    Me Cry Until I Published These Slides.
  2. Random Knowledge add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode'); Did you know that you can’t

    place shortcodes in widgets by default? // Add Shortcodes to widgets by placing the below code info functions.php
  3. STOP IT!! define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true); It’s generally a “bad practice” to

    edit a theme or plugin using the ‘edit’ option. Here’s how you can prevent that nonsense… You would also add this to your theme’s functions.php file // Prevent Clients From Blowing schtuff up!!
  4. Versioning? Use Version Control! It will save yo zzz! You’re

    welcome! I Use Git. What is it? ! 1. an unpleasant or contemptible person. aka me
 2. distributed version control designed for working with teams Bitbucket - Free, unlimited private repositories for up to 5 users ! Github - Free public repositories !

  5. Get a WYSIWYG Editor for Widgets Sometimes it’s handy to
