The WordPress Customizer

The WordPress Customizer

The WordPress Customizer is an interface for drafting changes to content while previewing the changes before they are saved. This is an alternative to the "save and suprise" model of changing settings without knowing what exactly will happen.

The customizer can be accessed in the admin interface under Appearance > Customize.

A screenshot of the customizer

#19909 is the trac ticket that introduced the Customizer during the 3.4 release cycle.

Setting up a WordPress site on AWS

Setting up a WordPress site on AWS

This tutorial walks through setting up AWS infrastructure for WordPress, starting at creating an AWS account. We'll manually provision a single EC2 instance (i.e an AWS virtual machine) to run WordPress using Nginx, PHP-FPM, and MySQL.

This tutorial assumes you're relatively comfortable on the command line and editing system configuration files. It is intended for folks who want a high-level of control and understanding of their infrastructure. It will take about half an hour if you don't Google away at some point.

If you experience any difficulties or have any feedback, leave a comment. 🐬

Coming soon: I'll write another tutorial on a high availability setup for WordPress on AWS, including load-balancing multiple application servers in an auto-scaling group and utilizing RDS.

Gulp workflow for WordPress theme development

Gulp workflow for WordPress theme development

Requirements

In order for Livereload to work, you need a Firefox or Chrome extension as Gulp doesn't inset it automatically. Alternatively, you can also manually put the livereload script in footer.php, just make sure to insert it only on development environment:

<script>document.write('<script src="http://' + (location.host || 'localhost').split(':')[0] + ':35729/livereload.js?snipver=1"></' + 'script>')</script>
