Make sure everything is up to date.

Sublime Text Preferences

My personal settings for Sublime Text (Mac). Heavily borrowed from Wes Bos: https://gist.github.com/wesbos/a3b12cfda064a906ac04

To set the key bindings below, goto Sublime Text menu -> Preferences -> Key Bindings - User, paste the settings from below and save that file.

To set the user preferences below, type ⌘, in Sublime Text to bring up the Preferences.sublime-settings file, paste the settings from below and save that file.

Hardening WP Security

A shortened, actionable version of the full punchlist

1. Sync your entire live site down to your local repo
2. Change the WordPress default admin user + generate a new password
3. Remove any users that aren’t supposed to be there, or that are no longer in use
4. Update WordPress (in case you need to update it manually: https://gist.github.com/ericrasch/4192dc480398a896d4d58b5afe08a1d0)
5. Update all WordPress plugins
6. Remove unused plugins

When running npm update I was getting this error: npm ERR! cb() never called!

This answer on StackOverflow helped solve that issue:

So here's the fix for that. These steps are from David Walsh's blog

1. Clear your npm cache: sudo npm cache clean -f
2. Install the latest version of the Node helper: npm install -g n
3. Tell the helper (n) to install the latest stable version of Node: sudo n stable
