  1. @technosailor my fiancee, @tpayne0622
  2. @ryancduff @tpayne0622 but you have a bonfire right now! Im the jealous one
  3. @superphly but then you have to deal with it when things get messed up. I use wpengine for my site and a sysadmin that manages dev server
  4. @devinsays we actually didnt use a realtor, but @tpayne0622 can give a list of ones we almost used. Also check with @ryancduff
  5. Thanks! RT: @wp_smith: Congrats on 3.4 Commit! @BillErickson core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18041#c…
  6. @technosailor whats the result, just a url? Try wp_oembed_get()
  7. @jakeallard Not built in, but you could set up a cron to look for any posts older than X days and update_post_meta()
  8. Just released a new plugin, Old Post Notification: wordpress.org/extend/plugins… Here's it in use: billerickson.net/how-to-move-yo…
  9. @briandusablon @leftlane I recommend using Gravity Forms and linking to a standard form. You could pass the original URL as a hidden field
  10. @clarklab Sorry I missed this yesterday, sounds like you got it worked out. Let me know if you have any more issues
  11. @jaredatch I hate those ugly buttons!
  12. @jarret Yep, and I actually wrote it bc a large client wants their internal team to do it for security reasons.
  13. @jarret I like to know what's going on in case something goes wrong :)
  14. How to Migrate WordPress websites: billerickson.net/migrating-word… (a lot of ppl were interested in this at #wcatx so I wrote a tutorial)
  15. @williamsba Yeah I use that one all the time. If you're working with video, I recommend you add this filter too: billerickson.net/code/oembed-tr…
  16. @chrisbratlien here you go: interconnectit.com/124/search-and…
  17. @RichP updated :)
  18. @wpbeginner Thanks! Glad others find it useful. I use it as my brain dump, any time I want to remember how to do something, go to /code
  19. @joelisntfar I actually need to write a new post on doing that. Summary: move database, run searchreplacedb2.php, move wp-content directory
