This is a pretty goofy function, but a client once deleted the default user roles using some plugin, and I just threw this into functions.php to re-create them. It’s hooked onto admin_init, so it runs when you load any back-end page. I set a transient that keeps the function from running more than once (and […]
Paste this into your .htaccess file # BEGIN Force SSL <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =off RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L] </IfModule> # END Force SSL I once had the needed to exclude a directory, so http:// versions would still be served. This was just one extra line: RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =off RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/directory/ RewriteRule […]

When using Microsoft Visual Studio Code / Monaco for PHP it’s really annoying to me how double-clicking a variable doesn’t include the dollar sign in the selection.
