Good morning!

I have solved the “too many WordPress plugins” problem!

Simply put all of your plugins inside a single plugin, and include each one manually!

One of my clients went from 75 plugins to ONE PLUGIN using this trick.

I just hope they don’t try to deactivate it.

I. Am. BEAMING right now. Ben is absolutely crushing Game Builder Garage. He’s on the “last lesson”, and I can’t possibly overstate how amazing this game is as an educational tool. He’s been 90% on his own, and the game is paced well enough to keep him engaged. I’m very impressed

So we’ve been using pine shavings for the toilet so-far, but we have a TON of sagebrush out here, and we’ve been thrilling about how to repurpose it. I got a wood chipper to break it down, and I think it’ll be a perfect replacement!

4-days in with the solar setup, and it seems to be able to keep up pretty well. We just make sure to bring the small Jackery in the truck when we go on errands so it charges while we’re driving.

I bet we can extend to 2 sunny weeks before needing the generator at this point.

theme.json is a whopper, but it looks AMAZING.

WP Dev Academy launched as a single page on Alexstandiford.com

Then I moved that page to its own site
Then I added course lessons
Then I added the blog
Then I added the membership
Then I added the affiliate program.

You don’t have to launch the whole site to get started.

WP Dev Academy has launched an affiliate program. If you’re looking to earn some commissions, and think you have some content that could benefit from some killer WordPress resources, this program may be a great fit for you.

So this is fun. I didn’t know that this is actually default behavior on WordPress.
