Is Cloudflare breaking your REST API? https://lnkd.in/gDbqATuU The worst problems are the ones that don’t leave you a clue for why they are happening. Such an one will cause much grief. No messages, warning, or errors. I like using plugins for WordPress, plain and simple, and as long as they aren’t hurting my page speed the more the merrier (If you need it). Plugins save the time of trying to figure out ways to do things that someone else has already figured out, and nine times out of nine, they do it better than I can anyhow. Some are just huge time savers. One of my favorite […] https://lnkd.in/g6gMJNMZ #Cloudflarecachedeceptionarmor #WordPressRESTAPIBreaks

As the WordPress ecosystem evolves, Automattic is changing its relationship with developers. I had a chance to talk to some of the people inside the company, from WooCommerce, Pressable, and WordPress.com, about some of these changes.

He who wants to grow must embrace challenges. It first starts as a challenge, it gets solved and then growth comes. We are not grateful enough for the challenges we have faced. We won't have been here. Something happened recently with a mobile app project we had at hand. This challenge led me to do something with WordPress I haven't paid attention to, for the past 12 years I have been sailing through WordPress. I never took enough time to look into "Custom fields" but something happened. . . We already planned the other parts of the app to be coded up with Golang and everything did go as planned but our client needed one more thing. He wanted to be able to create contents related to tours, schools and travels to the app to make the app fresh daily for their users. I didn't want us to build that from scratch, so we advised our client to use their already existing WordPress blog to manage creation, update and deleting of these contents. WordPress fits so perfectly well for the use case and it's so easy for our client to manage their content and again it cuts costs for them. But see eh, the contents to be on the app had some fields more than what WordPress offers by default, so we needed to add custom fields. That was a piece of cake from me, I ate it as a WordPress OG wey I be. Our dev team plugged it into our central API. It was sharp! But there was wahala. I saw shege in 9D 😂 The WordPress rest API wasn't picking the data in the custom fields. Remember what I said in the beginning of this post? Challenges push you to dive deep, to walk paths you were once scared and reluctant to explore. I dived deeeeeep. Lo and behold, I learnt so much about Custom fields that I haven't in my past 12 years of using WordPress. After the debug, all issues were fixed and I smiled. Custom field data are now showing up on the WP rest API and it's now well served on the app, working so well with the Golang service already running. And surely I can, thank you dear Lord for the challenges. Keep your ship sailing.
