So I just found out my laptop I bought refurbished in 2014 has a 1999 wifi card. WTF! It’s true. I have a laptop I bought way back when, refurbished for like $200. At the time it had windows 8 and a very good PC brand I have always favored Gateway. Yes, Gateway went out […]

Change State Name to Postal Abbreviation in WooCommerce
Changing the states names to abbreviations in Woocommerce is pretty easy. There are a couple references online that tell you how to do this but they don’t actually supply the whole list of states in their sample. This is for US states based on WooCoomerce 3.3.4, but should work for older versions. You can file […]
WP-CLI inside Docker container
So running wp-cli inside docker gives you a warning that you are running as root. For me I am running docker locally as a development server and running as root isn’t a concern as I am on a private secure network and it’s purely local development. So the default setup for Docker is to run […]

Tons of people were freaking out about this and coined the term Mobilegeddon. There was so much hype and I even got scare […]
WooCommerce Bulk Edit Sold Individually
MySQL way to bulk edit Sold Individually. So I had imported about 200 products into WooCommerce and accidentally set all of them to the sold individually setting.
