When developing WordPress plugins, SVN is still used. It’s only used for plugin deployment though, not really during development. So your typical actions are just add files, remove files, tag a directory and commit. I always found adding and removing files such a hassle, so here’s a short script that does it for you.

In the WordPress Plugin Directory, plugins have an Active Install metric, but it isn’t anywhere near accurate. It only shows a heavily rounded value and not the actual number, values like 10+, 500+, 10,000+ active installs. I’ll show you how to get the actual number of active installs of your WordPress plugin using some investigation […]
When you want to run some code right after the Block Editor / Gutenberg initializes, the documentation provides little to no clues on how to do this. Here are 2 ways you can run your code right after the Block Editor initializes.
WordPress 5.3 shipped with a new default theme named Twenty Twenty. It’s clean, and looks amazing especially with content created with the Block Editor. There’s a full-width template as well that worked fine, unlike in Twenty Nineteen before when the content leaned over to one side of the screen and we needed to use workarounds […]
The WordPress Plugin Directory is the main source where users find plugins. For most plugin authors, it’s the battle arena that can make or break a plugin. I’ll show in this article how I got almost 200 plugin ratings for my plugin Stackable.
I do development. I code most of the day, hammering strategically at my Stackable WordPress plugin. I probably stare at Visual Studio Code for at least 8 hours a day, every day. So you can understand why I want to keep my eyes safe and sound.
If you’ve updated to WordPress 5.0, then you probably noticed the new Twenty Nineteen theme. It very simple, with a huge emphasis on the content and clean typography. It’s great. However, the content area is really made for articles and blogging. For wide screens, the content is nudged to the a little bit to the […]

Imagine that your every new product update Tweet, every Facebook wall post would be seen and commented on.. business would be […]
It’s just a matter of time when Gutenberg will hit WordPress Core. As days go by, we’re getting closer and closer to an eventual merge. So to get ahead of the game, my team and I took almost month studying Gutenberg, and ended up releasing a plugin called Stackable – Ultimate Gutenberg Blocks. Throughout our experience, […]
Gutenberg. People say it’s a page builder killer. And being that I’ve created my own page builder (Page Builder Sandwich – which is currently having a major rebuild btw), I’m obviously concerned. How will it impact my business? My competitors’ business? Will it kill all page builders? I don’t know. But if it does then […]
