Lab: WordPress Post Metadata (Custom Fields) Basics
Video Runtime: 09:52
Let’s introduce you to this lab and what you will be doing. Then starting at 1:16, you’ll setup your sandbox website to be ready to do the lab with me. This will include:
- launching Local by Flywheel
- creating a new local website environment
- adding 2 posts into your new sandbox, using Lorem Ipsum for the dummy content
- Installing PHP Kint using one of these 2 plugins:
- 4:13: UpDevTools as a must-use plugin
- 8:29: PHP Kint Debugger plugin that’s in the WordPress plugin repository
Hands off the keyboard. Web development starts by thinking first, then planning it out, and then coding it.
