Most of my web development work is done through WordPress. I’ve built hundreds of little WordPress plugins, and dozens of scratch-made sites. At this point, I’ve modified nearly every corner of WordPress at some point since I started using it in 2009.

    Today I’m doing the first WP Dev Academy voice chat on our Discord server. This is a premium-exclusive chat, where you will be able to ask #WordPress questions I will help you as best as I can. I’ll be doing public ones in the future, too.

    One of my favorite tools for building #WordPress websites, especially when on a tight budget is ACF, but it has its disadvantages. This blog post covers some of the pros and cons to using ACF for your site.

    WP Dev Academy members get unlimited access to all courses, all Discord Channels, and more.

    “Having access to Alex and his trove of knowledge is worth the ticket price.”

    “The course content is great. I Feel like I’m getting WP super powers.”

    It’s been long enough now that I can hardly imagine going back to the classic editor, but there are still people out there who haven’t made the switch. This post talks about some of the differences in workflow when building a custom #WordPress theme.

    There’s no shortage of content about #WordPress blocks, but have you ever stopped to actually see how they work? When I discovered this, it really threw me for a loop (snort). I didn’t expect it to work like it does. This post shares my findings.

    This is a big step in the right direction. I’m thrilled to see more robust blocks coming to the block editor, such as the query loop.

    I’m thinking about bringing in other developers to guest post on WP Dev Academy. What motivates you to write guest content? What things do you look for when publishing to a site like WP Dev Academy?

    I touch on JavaScript hooks in the beer plugin course published on WP Dev Academy. in the course I use them to change a taxonomy term to use radio buttons instead of checkboxes. They’re really cool!

    With 2.8 out, and the recent revitalized push on Gutenberg blocks, I thought it would be good to talk a bit about how blocks work. Hopefully this will help someone understand how to work with them a little better.
