Here’s something I learned the hard way today. If you are using Genericons in your WordPress theme, and you’re enqueueing it like this: wp_register_style(‘genericons’,get_template_directory_uri().’/genericons/genericons.css’,false,$theme[‘Version’]); wp_enqueue_style( ‘genericons’ ); …you’re going to run into problems if Jetpack is enabled, because Jetpack uses the same method. Normally this wouldn’t be that much of an issue, but their version of […]

This year I went to WordCamp San Francisco. I didn’t take any pictures, but here’s one found on the WP Armchair stream where you can sort of make out my bald head. You can tell it’s me ’cause the water bottle. This isn’t going to be an exhaustive post. I’m glad I went but (and […]

I released an update to the Cat Signal plugin that fixes some issues that were introduced in the last update. If you’re using it, make sure you update before the campaign tomorrow. Internet Defense League Cat Signal

I’ve got a new course up on Pluralsight that went live today. New course: Introduction to WordPress Plugin Development | the pluralsight blog.

If you asked me a year ago who Chris Lema was, I wouldn’t be able to tell you. My experience up to that point was a brief mention by my friend Josh at Event Espresso that his was a blog worth reading. Chris tweets a lot — one of my biggest turn-offs when I am […]

You may have heard about the massive security threat toward Joomla and WordPress sites. (If not WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN???) There are lots of posts around the web on the subject, but not a lot of answers to “well, how do I change my username from admin?” This post answers that question. Answer 1: You don’t […]

This post is being written in Sublime Text thanks to a new package by Nicolas Dienstbier — who has a much cooler way of shortening his name than I do (what could I do? rnlds? Actually…) — called Sublpress. The premise of Sublpress is simple — use Sublime to manage your WordPress site(s). You can […]

Brian posted a link to Cat Signal on Post Status. It may not be the same thing (yet) as being Dugg but it’s still pretty cool. I still need to write up a post on how and why I wrote the plugin… Cat Signal: An advocacy plugin for the Internet Defense League : Post Status.

No one claimed that? It’s for reals, yo. The closest the repo has is WP Notifications. Now why would someone name a plugin WP Notifications […]
