You may have already noticed or heard from your clients:

WordPress Multi-Domain Multisite (not subdomain nor subdirectory) has an annoying problem since version 6.8;

Every time you switch from one subsite to another, you have to log in again, and you are logged out of the other subsites.

Let me save you the time and effort:

No, it’s not a Cookie Domain problem, it’s not a Cookie Path problem, and there isn’t some sneaky software logging you out just for fun. It’s a side effect of the new password hash implementation in WordPress 6.8. Continue reading “WordPress 6.8 Multisite Forced Re-Login – Solved!”

opens a new Terminal shell specifically for the site you are in. (not chrooted, but it is set-up correctly). opens Sequel Pro with the correct database.

And there is much more ;) Continue reading “Handy script: lbl – the missing cli for LocalWP”

Hi there.

This is my first blog-entry, well, it’s a little pathetic, actually, it’s just a simple note to say “Hi there and welcome!”

In the coming days, weeks, months, I will be updating the theme of this blog and eventually let you know the technical issues I have been dealing with in my time as WebDeveloper. Wether it is at all interesting to you, I’ll have to leave that up to you all, so, feel free to comment; any and all remarks are welcome.

Yours,

Remon.
