CMS Tree Page View has been adopted — by me!
I’ve been a part of the WordPress ecosystem for a long time now. Such a long time in fact, it’s been the platform upon which I’ve built my livelihood. That’s come in many forms: consulting, custom development, and products like SearchWP. I got started wedging my way into the WordPress world primarily by blogging what […]

Using Parcel to Bundle your Vue Powered WordPress Plugin
I’ve been working with Vue for the past little while and it has very much struck a chord with me and how I like to work. I think if you’ve been sticking with modern JavaScript development in any way you’ve got similar feelings about your latest workflow. Because I work with WordPress-related projects so much, […]

Add Pinterest Rich Pin OpenGraph Data for WooCommerce Products
Update: this has been generalized into a WordPress plugin I recently built a WooCommerce project for a client through Iron to Iron and the client requested integration of Pinterest Rich Pin snippets. Pinterest has proven to be a really valuable marketing vector for many online shops so I thought there must be something out there […]

Hierarchy 1.0 is Here!
Hierarchy is now at version 1.0! Check it out and find out more about the changes that went into it. A long time ago I wrote about a plugin I built that I’ve used on every client site since doing so. It solved a problem that exists only if you use WordPress in a certain […]

Generate Breadcrumbs from your WordPress Menu
I have what some may consider a unique approach to WordPress Menus. Without going into extreme detail (but if you want extreme detail be sure to sign up to get notified when @clientwp Second Edition arrives!) I rarely use Menus for client projects. From time to time however, they’re the perfect fit. I found myself […]

The WordPress Plugin Boilerplate 3.0.0
I really like code boilerplates. They’re such a great way to show up-and-coming developers one of many ways to accomplish something. They can also teach veteran developers a thing or two. They usually embrace the codebase for which they were written, and follow established conventions of the project. I also like Tom McFarlin. If you […]

Write your own code profiler in PHP
I’ve made it a focus of mine over the next few months to tighten my belt on tests and profiling, specifically with my WordPress projects. I’ve been doing a lot of tinkering with Vagrant, VVV, Xdebug, and xhprof with the specific intent of easily profiling my code. I was quick to discover that while these […]

Template Map makes my Client Work Easier
TL;DR: Built another WordPress plugin: Template Map (GitHub) Very often my inspiration for building plugins is to make my life easier. Selfish as that may be, I’m a big fan of the idea behind using your own publicly released code as much as possible. When you’re actually in the trenches using the code you’re that […]

I’ve Built a Live Search Plugin for WordPress
Search continues to be (in my opinion) a very much underutilized aspect of many websites. It’s not that websites are universally lacking on-site search, it’s that it usually stinks. I did what I could to improve that for WordPress sites by building SearchWP. It’s what I’ve always wanted but never found in a search solution […]

Front End Editing in WordPress with Barley
Front end editing has always been an interesting pain point over the years. WordPress was a fantastic playground for many attempts to solve the problem of separating writing and consumption of your site content. I work with a lot of clients, and it’s usually hit-or-miss when explaining how to manage things. Some clients are used […]
