What did you do lunchtime today?<\/p>\n
I converted a spreadsheet from a 24.8Mb monstrosity, to a 72Kb pussycat.<\/p>\n
And I debugged the entire WordPress .php application, and the Mantra theme.<\/p>\n
I started out debugging just the Mantra theme (let’s not talk about the spreadsheet, that’s a work thing).<\/p>\n
But when I’d finished I kept thinking ‘Is that it? Really? That’s it? There isn’t more?’<\/p>\n
So I began working my way through the WordPress .php stack.<\/p>\n
Actually, I found hundreds of .php files with blank lines outside the begin\/end .php markers.<\/p>\n
(blank lines outside the\u00a0<?php –\u00a0?> switches are usually the causes of feed failures)<\/p>\n
I could have been clever.<\/p>\n
Or lazy.<\/p>\n
Same thing, really.<\/p>\n
I could have opened the feed-related files in the includes folder and put this code in:<\/p>\n
$out = ob_get_contents(); But I didn’t want to do that, because it wouldn’t have answered the unasked question.<\/p>\n Coding my way out of the issue wouldn’t have actually told me how many instances of the issue there were.<\/p>\n And now I know.<\/p>\n Because I fixed them.<\/p>\n Fixed them all.<\/p>\n By hand.<\/p>\n Because I am a geek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What did you do lunchtime today?
