Impossible is a mindset
If you decide to develop WordPress plugins without the use of automated unit testing, you are setting yourself up for a great deal of wasted time over the long term. Automated unit testing allows one to validate the quality of code, reduce the likelihood of software bugs appearing in production, and easily verifies the compatibility […]
Continue Reading...Personally, I believe the majority of WordPress users instinctively resort to solving performance, security, and configuring URL-redirect issues by adding bloated, over-engineered, and frequently costly plugins to their WordPress installation. However a great majority of these issues can be resolved simply by utilizing a properly configured .htaccess file. Once configured properly, your site can be […]
Continue Reading...Contrary to some opinions floating around the Internet, it is in fact possible to export an HTML table as an .xlsx document (as well as .xls, .csv, and others), using only client side code, thanks to the useful Sheet JS library. The .xlsx file format is the one used by the most recent version of […]

Continue Reading...While attempting to create self-signed certificates on my local dev environment, I followed several certificate creation strategies from many respected articles, each of which failed to create a legitimate HTTPS web page. Most browsers have increased the requirements for what valid certificates are, and so many articles out there are no longer accurate. I consistently […]
Continue Reading...On many older lists and workflows I have worked with, I have noticed many workflows that continue to be triggered long after they have been deleted or unactivated. It appears that these phantom workflows continue to be triggered when lists are created from list templates (from an .stp file). I suspect a SharePoint bug is […]
Continue Reading...The SharePoint web part Note Board is a very useful tool add to pages so users can post comments to the public. Unfortunately Note Board saves users’ comments in each users’ profile in MySites rather than a SharePoint list, so workflows cannot be triggered after a new comment. Problem There is no native SharePoint way […]
