Simply Awesome! Love your work. I've never seen such kind of tutorials on youtube.

What a great Work my dear friend. Good for developers and those who knows some coding!

[felixrivera]

I love what you do! This one is very confusing. I will check out your post on the killer playlist, that should clear up my confusion. Thank you!

Fantastic tips, most fun I've had in years!

This is a big one... Replacing the "plugin replacer" plugin. What else do you have under your sleeve, Bjorn? Love this series.

Thanks Bjorn, this was exactly what I needed to help me position my javascript snippets without bloating the functions.php . I am guessing I would do something similar and call my PHP snippets instead filling the functions.php with them too?

Thank you! This really helped me get started.

I think it's easier to go in the WordPress dashboard Themes > Theme File Editor rather than going into the hosting website. This way it will be same for most people.

thankyou for this! I was wondering if there was a way to minimise the amount of plugins used, because a few guidelines i have read have recommended between 5 - 10 plugins to maximise site speed and load times. I realised these guidelines were extremely difficult to stick to. If the site was any more than a simple blog or company 'about us' website the amount of plugins just goes up and up ending up in the 20-30 plugins per site mark. I was debating whether to master (or try) to master PHP, but I'm thinking ill just learn what is needed... you have probably saved me a few years of learning and bashing my head against a hard surface repeatedly to numb the pain. Very grateful!

Is there a way i could addon some file converter to my site using the same method..Please make some video on it. Example. PDF to Word or some sort of it.

[johnlyons]

Will this work with php files as well as javascript?

Hi, will you be doing a tutorial on how to secure a wordpress site without a plugin cos i find that wordfence slows my sites down quite a lot in some cases. been thinking of moving to Ithemes Security. I think/know you can do some work in the .htaccess file that can improve security but not sure how to do it.
Thanks

We need to kill plugins for speed wp, auto backup, Image Optimizer, Cache. Thank you.

I agree with the over all thought, but I think your way is regression. These days we move away from directly modifying the function.php when possible. That is why the plugin Code Snipplets actually is a better way to do the same thing. So using 1 plugin enables you to avoid using and all the issues with child themes, and allows you to keep track of each code/snipplet.

Too many commercials too close together.

I feel this video is going backward. It seems smart to move away from child themes. Perhaps on high performance and sites that won't be updating child themes might be workable. Using snippets has allowed us to continue to do A/B testing with various themes and makes it easy to test each functionality between updates.
