My company is going to be hiring a WP dev in the near future. We'll be looking for someone who is up to date with modern best practices, has familiarity working with a fairly standard toolset (ACF, Gutenberg, Sage 10), and strong skills with S/CSS, JS, and PHP. Experience with modern JS libraries (eg. React, Svelt, etc.) is a plus, and attention to detail an absolute requisite.

The company itself is stellar to work for – competitive pay, outstanding benefits, great client list, wonderful coworkers, etc.

If this sounds like a good fit for you, shoot me a PM!

Hey there.... I'm running out of ideas so I'm hoping it's OK to resurrect this thread for tech support needs. I am in charge of a debian server that serves a wordpress website. I think for as long as WP has been on this server (which is a few months), it has not been able to auto update or update plugins via wp-admin. When I try to update any of the things, it asks me for FTP information.

I got FTP set up, and I'm pretty sure set the user permissions to read/write the wordpress directory, but I'm still getting errors saying "cannot find wp-content" and depending on what I change it says can't connect at all, even though I can connect with an FTP client just fine.

All the stack overflows I've found about this say it has to do with permission issues to the WordPress folder but I just can't seem to get it right.

Has anyone dealt with this before?


Update: turns out I'm a dinosaur, added
php:
<?
define('FS_METHOD','direct');?>
to wp-config and now everything is correctly updating

A buddy of mine runs a small business and wants some work done on his Wordpress site. He estimates between 5 and 15 hours. Budget is on the lower side. If anyone is interested DM me, or if you need more info let me know.

Edit: All sorted!

Resurrecting this old thread for a quick question with hopefully a quick answer.

I am trying to set up a WordPress container for local development. I'm using the bitnami/wordpress image and in my Dockerfile I'm copying my theme files into the image at /wordpress_themes/my_theme and I have an init script that will symlink the contents of that directory to the /bitnami/wordpress/wp-content/themes/my_theme directory, and then set the WordPress theme to that them using wp-cli.

This all works great. I can build an image that holds everything and works well, and I can also run the container with my theme directory mounted as a volume at /wordpress_themes/my_theme and my local changes will show up in the container. BUT there's always a delay, about 5 minutes. I assume something in WordPress is doing some caching of the template files, but I can't work out what it is doing and how to disable this behaviour. The changes show up just fine, it all works really nicely, but it just takes too long for the changes to show.

Unless you have a WP caching plugin enabled, I'd imagine the caching is taking place within your plugin. WordPress has extremely limited native caching abilities, and what you've described doesn't sound like something it would do on its own.

If you've also containerised it, then maybe you are using a reverse proxy to serve the front end? In which case, the proxy may be caching too.

Thanks guys, I really wasn't expecting any replies so soon!

The only custom stuff I have on there so far is the "BlankSlate" theme which I'm using as a parent theme to my own child theme. The child theme has nothing in it around caching and I can't see anything in the parent theme to imply it's caching things either.

Your line of enquiry does make me wonder though whether this might be something built into the bitnami image somehow. I'm also encountering other issues, the container doesn't appear to having any internet connection from inside it either :( Maybe I should have just built my own WordPress image...

Nah nothing like that as yet, I'll do this eventually but haven't done anything like that yet it's just its own container with a mariadb container alongside it in a docker-compose.

Got it sorted - it was an env variable for the container called "PHP_ENABLE_OPCACHE". I needed to set that to "no", now it all updates immediately in dev while I can still deploy it with that flag enabled.

Does a default wordpress config generate any logfiles? I've tried googling it, but am only finding references to plugins. I am hoping to do some forensics on some apparently stolen credentials.

Basically no. You'll have PHP error logs and access logs on your server, but those probably won't contain the type of data you're looking for.

I've got an odd issue, and hopefully y'all can point me in the right direction. When I upgrade a plug-in, as soon as the upgrade is complete the plugin disappears. Poof, gone. What could be causing this, and where should I start looking to fix it?

Core is 6.4.3 if it matters. Thanks!

What’s the plugin, and what version are you starting with?

Default logging sucks in WP, at a bare minimum install a logging plugin like "activity log". Some firewall plugins also have logging of some functions.
