    I’m sharing a post on BerlinDB and Underpin next week. I’m the meantime, let’s take a moment to explore BerlinDB.

    BerlinDB is a PHP library that makes creating custom database tables in WordPress much, much easier.

    https://t.co/S5TIyOPIWK BerlinDB is currently used by some well known plugins, like @eddwp and @sugarcalendar. I’ve used it on several plugins, including extensive work on a logging utility I use for my clients.

    It’s also used for @DFS_Web’s instant quote tool. designframesolutions.com/quiz/

    Just saw a Vermont license plate parked in a New-Mexico Baskin Robbins. Conclusion? They’re either corporate, or just really jonesin’ for something familiar.

    We just bought another 3/4 of an acre across the road!

    I’m working on a tutorial on how to set up BerlinDB with Underpin, but I noticed that I was starting to type up the same “set up Underpin” steps in my posts.

    So, I decided to make a post specific to setting up Underpin on a single site. Here you go!

    My morning, a haiku:

    It can’t be the cache
    There is no way it’s the cache
    Wrong, it was the cache

    PSA: Remember to use the ver param in your WordPress scripts and styles. If you’re compiling with wordpress/scripts, it will create a version for you.+

    Underpin is REALLY close to making it possible to scaffold just about anything inside WordPress using CLI commands. Something like:

    composer underpin/scaffold script (args)

    Would autogenerate the script loader automatically.

    Working on some small improvements to Underpin’s style loader and script loader, then HOPEFULLY I can finally tackle this stupid iOS specific bug I’m seeing on WP Dev Academy.

    Switched to white key caps today. They’re A LOT quieter. My sleeping family is going to appreciate this.

    I don’t have air conditioning and it’s hot. But my hot water heater is also broken, so I’m gonna take two wrongs and make a right. BRB
