The following code emails a particular person whenever an ACF Form is submitted. It’s a slight modification of the example at the bottom of this page. Since I’m dealing with three forms with different fields, I do some if statements to gather and append various fields if they exist. In this particular workflow, all these […]

Slack Bot! SLACK BOT!!
via GIPHY I don’t know why these two things are connected in my head but they are. So this is another one of those odd workflow posts. Here’s the scenario. I built a Slack App in their Bolt javascript SDK. That app has a command /courseupdate that triggers a modal with a selection and three […]
WordPress and Slack Workflow Experiments
Every place I’ve ever worked we’ve ended up talking about paths to deal with support emails and follow ups. Generally there is an existing technology helpdesk support system but it is usually unpleasant to use and hard to customize.1 What we have currently at Middlebury is a fairly typical combination of things going on. We […]
All ACF Fields to Custom Post Type
A long time ago, I put a post up about getting ACF Fields for a custom post type in the WP JSON API response but you’d have to do that one by one. Sometimes that would be good but if you have a lot of fields and don’t mind them being public it’s not so […]

Here’s another stuff-I-did-in-the-past post. It may be doing this does a couple things for me.

List Posts/Pages in WordPress Multisite Admin Sites View

This is a little something that’ll help you see activity across a multisite. It adds a column to the admin view that shows the posts/pages count for each site. I found this plugin that got me the foundation for adding the column and then was able to just use the switch_blog function to get me […]
