Inserting the following snippets into your WordPress child themes’ functions.php file will activate some nice effects on Gravity Forms. Read code descriptions for additional details.
We were contracted to perform a few updates on an outdated website which was hosted through GoDaddy. Upon attempting to perform the updates we received the dreaded 500 Internal Server Error. In short, the theme we were attempting to update failed to do so for one reason or another.
Making matters worse, the website was now locked in WordPress maintenance mode.
The WordPress Security Team just announced a security and maintenance release for all versions of WordPress since 3.7
WordPress versions 4.9.4 and earlier were affected by three recently discovered security issues. In addition, twenty-five other bugs were fixed in this WordPress 4.9.5 release.
Today, Google announced that it began rolling out their initiative of “mobile-first” website indexing.

What does mobile first mean for your website?
The following code snippet will remove the “Portfolio Items” post type within the Enfold theme for WordPress.
We were recently contracted by a new client to “fix their website” which suddenly went offline.
Our analysis revealed that they had an improperly configured Apache .htaccess file. This can happen if the hosting company migrates a website or updates the .htaccess file, which they do from time to time, but without testing for compatibility. This can also happen for a number of other reasons but you aren’t here for those.
The client authorized us access to their BlueHost hosting account so that we could resolve the issue for them. It was at that time that we discovered that their .htaccess file was not visible from within the File Manager component window under their cPanel.
Usually one would just check the box to “show hidden files” under the options menu which would reveal the .htaccess file. In this case there was no such option.
It was then that we discovered a work around which would force the reveal of any hidden files from within the File Manager component window. We will share this tip with you below.
The article distills the most helpful and optimal settings for the W3 Total Cache WordPress Plugin.
Sometimes, as a developer, it may be beneficial to hide the WordPress version number and or hide the WordPress update notice from backend users. Particularly if you are aware that performing the update will cause issues with your presently installed theme.
Nothing beats getting it fixed immediately, but sometimes that just isn’t feasible. We still recommend that any security releases be implemented immediately and if you must, take the site down for maintenance. That is, until the theme compatibility issues have been resolved and the security updates implemented.
In some cases you may not want to be constantly reminded that a WordPress plugin needs to be updated.
Here is how you go about hiding individual WordPress plugin update notices within the WordPress admin backend.
