Multiple MySQL Versions for Development

Options included below:

Using Docker docker-compose
Using Homebrew brew

Using Docker (recommended)

This gist was originally created for Homebrew before the rise of Docker, yet it may be best to avoid installing mysql via brew any longer. Instead consider adding a barebones docker-compose.yml for each project and run docker-compose up to start each project's mysql service.

WordPress Backups with WP-CLI

Important Notice for WordPress Plugins Using PHP 4 Style Constructors

The ability to use PHP 4 style constructors is getting removed from PHP. Without an update, many plugins will eventually no longer work (this is PHP breaking this backwards compatibility, not WordPress)

One of the more common uses of the PHP 4 style constructor (as opposed to PHP 5 style __construct() ) are plugins with widgets calling WP_Widget::WP_Widget() and/or parent::WP_Widget() and/or {object}->WP_Widget()

Note: Starting in WordPress 4.3, regardless of the PHP version in use on a server, WordPress will throw a deprecated notice when one of the PHP 4 style constructors is called specifically for widgets.

Basically instead of doing these:

In this guide we'll talk about handling partial payments in Event Espresso 4. This works best if you have an initial payment + a balance due. Here are some examples:

$250 deposit + $750 final payment

$500 deposit + $500 final payment

This idea uses two events: one to collect the initial deposit and one to collect the final payment.

Step 1 - Create an event for the initial payment

	* Pressjitsu Remote HTTP Cache
	*
	* Many plugins like to perform remote HTTP requests for front-end visits,
	* sometimes without even employing transient caching. We think that all HTTP
	* requests should run in the background, and thus be always served from cache,
	* even if the cache is stale.
	*
	* Configure cachable hosts via the pj_http_cache_hosts filter.
