@TomJNowell, is batcache still a "thing"? it seems like a dead plugin right now, which I guess might indicate it is just very stable

I know you can install WordPress and then make the site live, but is it possible to add a live site to a WordPress installation?

@MarkKaplun it serves billions of pages daily on wp.com

@JakeSymons ofcourse, but you'd have to be more specific. It sounds like you want to migrate a site into an existing multisite install elsewhere. Perhaps a question for the main site?

@MarkKaplun it's just very stable

@TomJNowell I've asked a question on the main site, already but I don't seem to have worded it in the right way so that it can be understood

@JakeSymons have you tried editing it? Can you link to it?

chat here isn't so great for anything heavy enough to appear on the main site

@TomJNowell Its this but I've got to get wordpress to undelete my account first, becuase I deleted it when I was trying to resolve the issue so theres not much I can do at the moment

@JakeSymons use WP CLI to create a new one?

or use a different account?

I used a different account

hmmm

so yes, you need to copy the data to your raspberry pi

you could put your remote server details in instead, but that would be the difference between me photocopying you a document to read at home

and you laying down fibre optic and peering through it at one end in your house to look at the original document in my office

slow, clunky, unreliable, and prone to problems

I'm hoping that I build the site locally with my new account, and then somehow transfer it over if I ever get my other account back, or I'll just put it live from the one I'm doing now

as the commenter said, data migration

there's millions of articles and tutorials about it

and no 1 single correct way to do it

it's also a massive can of worms for anybody who tries to answer

especially since the response is unlikely to be an upvote or an accepted answer mark, but lots of small and hyper localised follow up questions

and the answer would need to be very big to be canonically correct, and likely explain non-WP technologies

e.g. how to do DB backups, or FTP

Yeah I think using the new account would be eaiser then trying to move everything over and just hope that I get to keep the domain

but then not all possible ways to do this even use those

also be more precise with your words, move vs copy vs migrate vs clone

tnx tom

moving everything other suggests you want to close your hosting account and relinquish the domain

anyway you know what to look for, local dev/migration/cloning production

how to move a site from server to server is also a good one to look for

just keep in mind local dev ops is out of scope on the stack

also the comment mmm left is actually a pretty good answer

just because your raspberry Pi isn't a rack in a data centre doesn't mean it's not a server, you're using it as one

Hi Just confused with hook, I added do_action('xx',1); inside my plugins function. on other hand I added the add_action('xx','fn_xx',10,1) theme function.php

fn_xx not called when plugin do_action triggered, so I add the do action after 'fn_xx' function in the theme function php for testing. it worked

So don't know is there some loading order issue ?

yes

hooks are better known as events

you can't fire an event/action/hook then add to it afterwards without some form of time travel

when things happen matters a lot more in WP than people think, and actions/events help with that

it's good practice to only do work on actions, e.g. register all your widgets and post types etc on the init hook

and do as little in the root scope as possible

oh yeah!! - My do_action hook is add in the other action ('login_form_register') call back. don't know how to order it properly !!

add before doing

if it helps, write it out as a timeline
