One of the very first things you would have done when you were ready to get your business started up is to have the company name searched for, to ensure it is unique.

If you get this error whilst working with WordPress: “Deprecated: Function create_function() is deprecated in…”, the following advice works: “It addresses the add_filter statement: add_filter( 'option_page_capability_' . ot_options_id(), create_function( '$caps', "return '$caps';" ), 999 ); switch it out, and use this instead: add_filter( 'option_page_capability_' . ot_options_id(), function($caps) {return $caps;},999); We can see the usage of function(), very typical function creation instead of a deprecated create_function() to create functions.

WordPress 5.0 was released on November 27, 2018. It is a big change but it’s nothing that you can’t handle. Bluehost — which is the web host I’ve guided most of you to utilise — will prevent sites from auto-updating to 5.0 if they are not already running Gutenberg. Auto updates of WordPress will resume in January, however the update will not overwrite the classic editor plugin. Gutenberg is switching the game up from text based to visual based editing of your content in the back end of your website. It will make the design and publishing process more visual for non-technical website builders. So what is this Gutenberg?! (Funny name, first of all!) This is what the Gutenberg editor looks like. It’s a […]
