Caching oembed with nginx
When we post a blog link on Mastodon, caching pages might not be enough, thanks to oembed requests — so cache those too with nginx fastcgi cache.
Snippets
Purging the nginx cache when users differ
Purge the whole nginx fastcgi cache from WordPress when nginx and PHP run as different users.
Test for blocks within reusable blocks
WordPress has a handy function called has_block() that tests whether your page or post uses a particular block type.
Gravity Forms countries restricted by WooCommerce countries
If WooCommerce is restricting which countries it sells to, then Gravity Forms should probably restrict its addresses to match.
Safari-compatible SVG with dark mode support
SVG images can support light and dark mode in CSS. But Safari browser has a problem.
Restrict WordPress blocks by post type
When building custom blocks for the WordPress editor, sometimes we want to make them only available on specific post types.
Send UpdraftPlus backups to different S3 folders
Send UpdraftPlus backups to different S3 folders, so that separate lifecycle policies can be applied to them.
Block editor link control for custom post types
The WordPress block editor supports a link picker that we can add to our custom blocks. The best bit is we can restrict its searches to a post type of our choosing.
Easy Digital Downloads and WebP images
Easy Digital Downloads is the ideal WordPress eCommerce plugin for sites that distribute non-physical products like software or ebooks. You can run into a problem if your site has WebP optimised versions of your images though. Easily fixed through a filter hook.
Reduce Gravity Forms spam false positives with multipart emails
Standard Gravity Forms notification emails are HTML emails. They don't have a plain text part, which some spam filters flag as maybe spam. Stop this happening by making them multipart emails.
Allow editors or contributors to change settings
The WordPress settings API makes it easy to add shared content to a site for administrators to edit. But it would be nice to let other roles edit some settings too.
Variable fonts with legacy fallback
Variable fonts support several variations of a typeface from a single file. Support older browsers through progressive enhancement.
