  • wp_add_inline_script instead of wp_localize_script

    Note1 min read

    wp_localize_script() exists to pass translated strings to JavaScript and has been used for everything else because it was the only way to get data across. 4.5 added the…

  • wp_cache_get with the found flag

    Note1 min read

    A cached value of false and a cache miss both return false, so a lookup that legitimately caches “no result” re-queries on every request and the cache appears…

  • Batching a WP-CLI loop so it does not exhaust memory

    Note2 min read

    A command iterating every post accumulates objects in the query cache and the object cache, so a loop that works over 10,000 rows fails over 200,000 — and…

    Shaping a model for JSON has meant a transformer library or toArray() on the model, and the second couples the wire format to the database columns — so…

  • Telescope does not exist yet; here is the query log

    Note2 min read

    Finding out what queries a request actually ran means either a package, a debug bar that changes the page, or the listener that has been in the framework…

  • Composer 1.4 made the platform check a real error

    Note1 min read

    Installing a package requiring a PHP version newer than the one running used to be a warning in some paths. Composer 1.4 tightened it, which surfaces a problem…
