You may use it for video recording in almost any app. However, some apps, such as Netflix. Although using Netflix is simple, specific tips and tactics can optimize your viewing experience.

HOW TO CLEAR CACHE ON IPHONE.

In this post we will be looking at the meaning of cache and how to clear browser and App cache on iPhone.

INTRODUCTION

Browsing through various different websites and using interned-based apps on your iPhone tend to generate data called ‘cache’ which is stored directly into the internal memory. Although this data helps in reducing the tasks of loading the apps or websites’ resources from scratch, it can sometimes act as a bottleneck to your storage, especially on iPhones with storage capacity as low as 64GB. That said, to prevent running into any performance issues, you can easily get rid of the cached data on iPhone and enjoy more storage space for apps and media files. Here’s a quick guide on how to clear app-based and browser cache on your iPhone.

WHAT IS A CACHE?

Cache is the temporary storage of some data: parts of a website or image from the last time you visited, for example. It’s content from a website that is stored on your phone during a browser session to help the browser perform faster the next time you visit that page. Cache data can slow down your phone’s browsing performance since it takes up storage space in your device, so it’s good to clear it out regularly.

HOW TO CLEAR BROWSER CACHE ON IPHONE

Over a period of time, the browser cache can end up taking too much of your internal memory. Removing such cache memory can give you some precious storage for more apps and media files. Here’s how to clear the cache on various browsers available on iOS.

  1. Safari: Clearing cache on Apple’s own inbuilt browser can be done through the settings app, just like other apps on iOS. Here’s the step-by-step process.
  2. Go to your iPhone’s Settings: Open the Settings app on your iPhone to delete the cache in Safari. Keep in mind that this will close all open tabs in Safari and will likely log you out of any websites, prompting you to sign in again.
  3. Select Safari: In Settings, scroll down until Safari comes up, tap on it to select it.
  4. Find a button for Clear History and Website Data: Scroll down through the Safari options, until you find a button for Clear History and Website Data.
  5. Confirm by pressing Clear History and Data: A confirmation will appear, press Clear History and Data to confirm. After confirming, the cache and cookies are deleted from your iPhone, but your autofill information should still be on your device.

Do note that as the option suggests, all your browser history along with cache and cookies will be removed as well. However, autofill data will still remain in place.                                                                     

  • Google Chrome: Clearing cache on Google Chrome for iPhone is a bit different than Safari. As it’s a third-party app, we can utilize the in-app settings to remove the cache as well has cookies and browser history. The process is as follows.
  • Head over to Google Chrome app on your iOS device
  • Next, tap on the ‘3-dot’ menu present on the bottom right corner
  • Now from the options appearing over there, tap on ‘History’
  • Here you can select the time range of the data to be removed. Once done, there would be an option called ‘Clear browsing data’ at the bottom. Select it.
  • Confirm the prompt and all your cached data, media and files will be removed
  • Microsoft Edge: Microsoft Edge is yet another popular browser on iOS. Being a third-party app, removing the website cache can be done by going through various options. Here’s the step-by-step guide.
  • Open Microsoft Edge on your iPhone
  • Tap on the ‘3-dot’ menu at the bottom right corner
  • Now select the ‘Settings’ option
  • Next tap on the ‘Privacy’ option
  • Within the privacy settings, select the top most option called ‘Clear browsing data
  • Now checkmark the ‘cache’ option along with other types of data you want to remove from Edge browser such as history, cookies and saved passwords
  • Finally, hit the ‘Clear browsing data’ button at the bottom
  • It’ll ask for a confirmation prompt so select the ‘Clear’ option
  • With that, all your cache and other data will be removed from the browser

HOW TO CLEAR APP CACHE ON IPHONE

There are a couple of methods to remove app cache on iPhone. This is how they work:

  1. Removing temporary app data: Some apps on iOS allow you to clear cache from the settings apps itself by click of a button. But to make this come into effect, the particular app needs to be launched at least once in order to clear its cache.
  2. Open the ‘Settings’ app on your iPhone
  3. Scroll through the Settings and find the app you want to clear the cache of
  4. Select the app and once again scroll to the bottom of the page
  5. Now here you’ll find a toggle named ‘Clear temp data on next start’
  6. Turn it on and launch that particular app from the home screen to get rid of its cache.

Alternatively, you can also search for the app name within the settings itself to avoid the hassle of scrolling through the settings app.

  • Through the offload option

Another way of getting rid of some cache and freeing up some space on your iPhone is by using the offload option on certain supported apps. This option isn’t exactly an alternative to removing the app cache but rather deletes the app and gets rid of the temporary and hidden storage space taken up by the app. Moreover, all the user data and documents such as media files are not removed using this option but instead are stored in an archive. There’s the procedure for using the offload option.

  • Head over to the ‘Settings’ app on your iOS device
  • Scroll down to the ‘General’ settings
  • Now tap on the ‘iPhone storage’ option
  • Here you’ll find an extensive list of third-party apps. Select the one which you want to clear the cache of
  • Once the app storage page opens, here you’ll find an option called ‘Offload App’
  • Tap on it and confirm the prompt to offload the app from your iPhone

With that done, you’ll gain back some storage space. Now you can go ahead and reinstall that app from the App Store and start afresh. All the data will be restored once the installation i

HOW TO CLEAR CACHE ON ANDROID PHONE.

In this post we will be looking at the meaning of cache, How to Clear the Cache on Android Devices and Benefits of Clearing Cache on Android.

INTRODUCTION.

Your Android phone’s limited storage can fill up quickly. And one cause of this that’s easy to overlook is the stored information that apps regularly create to run at their best. These temporary data files are known as a cache; a fair chunk of your Android phone’s storage space might be filled up with cache files. Your apps and web browser store bits of information to speed up your experience using them. Over time, your phone may collect a lot of files you don’t really need. You can clear out the files to free up a little storage space on your device. Clearing cache can also help with website behavior issues. Clearing browser cache and app cache from an Android phone is a quick and easy process. Let’s take a look at what temporary app files are and how to clear cache on Android.

WHAT IS CACHED DATA?

Your phone uses the temporary data stored in cache files to quickly recall associated information when you open an app. For example, Spotify might cache your most frequently used playlists so it doesn’t have to load the full song lists from scratch each time you open them. Google Chrome might cache a large image on a website that you visit regularly, so it doesn’t have to download the image every time you open the page. A cache file is only useful to the associated program; Spotify has no use for Instagram’s cache, for example. In many cases, once an app decides the stored temporary information is no longer useful, it discards the accompanying cache files. Websites, apps, and games all make use of cache files to offer you a smoother experience. Cache isn’t only used by your Android phone—it’s also a function of desktop browsers and other software. Without cached data, your device would have to reload common images and other elements every time you accessed them, which is inefficient.

HOW TO CLEAR THE CACHE ON ANDROID DEVICES

On modern versions of Android, you need to delete the cache files for each app individually; there’s no system-wide option to clear all cache. Note that you rarely need to delete all cache across your device. In most cases, clearing the cache from a few problematic apps can resolve storage or performance issues. Follow these steps to clear cached data for an Android app. We’ve used stock Android 12 for these instructions; your device may look a bit different or use different menu names.

  • Open Settings and select Storage.
  • In the resulting list, tap the Apps entry (Other Apps on Android 11 and earlier). This will take you to a list of all the apps installed on your phone.
  • Choose the app whose cache you want to clear. To see which apps are taking the most space, tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner and choose Sort by size. We’ll use Chrome as an example.
  • On the app’s info page, tap the Clear Cache option.

That’s all it takes to clear the cache files for any app on your Android phone. Keep in mind that if you tap Clear Storage instead, you’ll remove all data from the app. This essentially resets it to a fresh state, like you just installed the app from the Play Store. Only do this if the app is seriously misbehaving.

Older Android versions gave you the option to delete all cached files at once by going to Settings > Storage > Cached Data. From there, simply tap OK when you see the option to delete all cache files. Unfortunately, there’s no built-in way to clear all the cache on modern versions of Android, so you’ll need to repeat the above to clear the cache for multiple apps.

BENEFITS OF CLEARING CACHE ON ANDROID

Cache files are important, and you typically don’t need to mess with them. However, it’s sometimes useful to manually remove cache files from your Android phone. Here are a few ways that clearing the cache on Android can be helpful:

  • In the short term, clearing cache helps you save storage space on your phone. But this is a temporary fix, since new cache files are created all the time as you use apps. If your device is so low on space that you need to clear the cache regularly, it’s probably time to upgrade to a new phone with enough storage for your needs.
  • Sometimes, old cache files can become corrupted. When this happens, apps may run into performance problems. Deleting faulty cache files can solve these issues.
  • In theory, old cache files can pose security and privacy threats. Web pages cached in your browser may contain sensitive information. If an unauthorized person accessed these files, they might be able to use them to obtain private details.
  • If a browser or other app refuses to fetch the latest version of a page, clearing the cache can force it to update.

CONCLUTION

Clearing unused cache files on Android is a decent way to free up space temporarily and comes in handy when troubleshooting app issues. But it’s not something you should do often, or through unreliable third-party apps. Use it only as a specific tool when needed for device performance. Going further, it’s good to know the signs of poor Android performance and how to diagnose them.

The decision of which to go with can vary depending on your business, although you should consider the features of each service so that you can weigh their pros and cons. Here are most of best online video conferencing software of the year.

Google Meet

Google Meet is another one of the more well-known video conferencing options. Similar to Skype, this means that many people will have access to it. This is driven by the fact that it’s implemented with much of the Google suite, which makes it easy to use if you have Gmail or other apps.

Though this lacks some of the more advanced features that accompany other solutions, it’s much more cost effective. This can make it great for smaller businesses and startups

Zoom’s paid versions offer many added features attractive to small, medium, large and enterprise businesses including increased meeting participants, storage, admin capabilities and more.

BigBlueButton

BigBlueButton implements the core web conferencing features you would expect in a commercial system, but under an open source license. These core feature include audio/video sharing, presentations with extended whiteboard capabilities – such as a pointer, zooming and drawing – public and private chat, breakout rooms, screen sharing, integrated VoIP using FreeSWITCH, and support for presentation of PDF documents and Microsoft Office documents.

BigBlueButton is a pure HTML5 client. It uses the browser’s support for web real-time communications WebRTC to send/receive audio, video, and screen.

In a BigBlueButton session there are two types of users: viewer or moderator.

As a viewer, a user may join the voice conference, share their webcam, raise their hand, and chat with others. As a moderator, a user may mute/unmute others, eject any user from the session, and make any user the current presenter. The presenter may upload slides and control the presentation.

Adobe Connect

Adobe is a large name in several areas and brings a variety of features to video conferencing. This includes a significant amount of control over documentation and other areas. Users will also be able to create rich multimedia to use with the video calls.

Adobe Connect doesn’t require any software downloads, so it can be much more accessible to users. As such, business owners will be able to sign in and start calling quickly from any device. This convenience extends to first-time users, as the software is easy to understand and use.

GoToMeeting

GoToMeeting is a solution that can be connected to a variety of other apps, such as Outlook and other email services, among others. Through this, it offers a simple click-and-call feature that makes video conferencing much easier than many other providers.

This is also one of the few options that allows you to record HD video and share it with others on the call immediately afterward. This can make view back and note-taking much easier.

Webex

Cisco Webex is another popular video conference solution that’s used by millions of people across the world. This popularity is seen across both smaller firms and Fortune 500 companies, as it offers a considerable number of features.

This is also one of the more cost-effective solutions, as one of its more affordable options allows for up to 100 people to take part in a video conference for a low monthly price.

Lifesize

Lifesize is one of the more expensive options available for companies, as it’s geared more toward international businesses. The price works out to about $11 per user per month, with this equating to $12,999 per year for 100 users; the cost per person goes up if there are fewer people using it.

For the price, however, companies are getting much more, as Lifesize offers some of the best collaboration. This is true, regardless of whether a company is using multi-point or point-to-point calls.

LoopUp

LoopUp offers a variety of features that business owners will be able to take advantage of. One of the more notable of these is that it provides users with dedicated account managers, with support being available 24/7. This support is worldwide and in most major languages, which can be beneficial for many users.

When it comes to cost, LoopUp offers a Pay-As-You-Go approach. This means that many entrepreneurs will be able to ensure that they can keep costs low while scaling up when needed.

Omnijoin

Many conferencing solutions restrict the number of calls that a business can make depending on the package that they have. This isn’t the case with Omnijoin, which offers unlimited calls with each of its packages. There are three packages available depending on the number of people that will be using it.

While this might not be an appropriate choice for larger businesses, it can be a smart choice for startups, as it’s cost effective while offering many of the features seen with other software. With its dynamic HD video feeds, companies will see a seamless meeting experience with each use.

Pexip

Pexip offers a tailored approach to business video conferencing, with much of this being adjusted depending on the industry that you’re in. Companies that use Pexip can host the conferencing themselves, or in the cloud of their choice (like AWS or Google). This is enhanced by the company’s support network, which includes certified professionals that will work with you to assess your needs.

This is enhanced by the resources that the company offers, which business owners will be able to take advantage of whenever needed. This can include cloud-based or premises-based infrastructure or even a combination of both.

BlueJeans

BlueJeans provides rich-content sharing for each of its users, which means that customers will be able to offer effective presentations without compromising on streaming quality. Alongside this is stream recording that doesn’t affect the frame rate or cause the call to freeze or slow down.

Being cloud-based, BlueJeans can connect with a variety of other apps without any issues. This means that users can sign in through several ways without affecting performance.

Skype

Skype is one of the more well-known video conferencing platforms. While many people will be aware of the benefits that it offers individuals, some mightn’t know that there are a few business advantages. Some of these are partly influenced by how well-known and accessible the app is.

Businesses will also be able to take advantage of the phone numbers that can come with the service. These can be called from virtually any phone. As a result, your customers shouldn’t need to have a Skype account to ring you.

This is also one of the more cost-effective ways of making and taking business calls, as it offers much more choice when it comes to billing. Users will be able to control the number of credits they use, which means that they’ll only have to pay for the amount that they use.

Vidyo

Vidyo has a few relatively unique features for companies, such as Native Rate Matching. This automatically adjusts frame rates based on a caller’s and receiver’s internet connection and computer power. By doing so, it avoids freezing while keeping video quality high.

The conferencing service has a large amount of intuitiveness, which makes it quite easy to use for newer users. There’s also a dynamic quality to the design, which adjusts on-the-fly when people join or leave the conference.

Conclusion:

While each of the above video conferencing services can be beneficial, every business will need to consider how they’re using them. One of the larger mistakes that entrepreneurs can make is with their voicemail greeting. This is a vital part of your communication, as it often makes a substantial first impression for potential clients and customers.

As such, it’s vital that you optimize your voicemail as much as possible, although many business owners may not know how to. There are several areas that you’ll need to look at, with the first being to identify any mistakes that you may already be making.

Speed Up Your WordPress Themes

WordPress Themes can be more faster than you think let’s see how !!?

A few months ago, I ran an experiment to see how much faster I could make one of my websites in less than two hours of work. After installing a handful of WordPress plugins and fixing a few simple errors, I had improved the website’s loading speed from 1.61 seconds to 583 milliseconds. That’s a 70.39% improvement, without having made any visual changes to the website.

According to a 2009 Akamai study, 47% of visitors expect a page to load in under 2 seconds, and 57% of visitors will abandon a page that takes more than 3 seconds to load. Since this study, no shortage of case studies have confirmed that loading time affects sales.

In 2006, Amazon reported that a 100-millisecond increase in page speed translated to a 1% increase in its revenue. Just a few years later, Google announced in a blog post that its algorithm takes page speed into account when ranking websites.

So, how can you speed up your WordPress website?

Below are twelve quick fixes that will dramatically improve your website’s loading time, including:

  • identifying which plugins are slowing down your website;
  • automatically compressing Web pages, images, JavaScript and CSS files;
  • keeping your website’s database clean;
  • setting up browser caching the right way.

Lay The Foundation

When your house is sinking into the ground, you don’t polish the windows — you fix the foundations. The same goes for your website. If it’s hosted on a sluggish server or has a bloated theme, quick fixes won’t help. You’ll need to fix the foundation.

So, let’s start with what makes for a good foundation and how to set ourselves up for a website that runs at lightening speed.

CHOOSE A GOOD HOST

Your Web hosting company and hosting package have a huge impact on the speed of your website, among many other important performance-related things. I used to be sucked in by the allure of free or cheap hosting, but with the wisdom of hindsight, I’ve learned that hosting isn’t an area to skimp on.

To put this into perspective, two of my clients have similar websites but very different hosting providers. One uses WPEngine (an excellent hosting company), and the other hosts their website on a cheap shared server.

The DNS response time (i.e. the time it takes for the browser to connect to the hosting server) of the client using WPEngine is 7 milliseconds. The client using the cheap shared hosting has a DNS response time of 250 milliseconds.

If you want your website to run quickly, start with a good hosting company and package.

CHOOSE A GOOD THEME

Unfortunately, not all WordPress themes are created equal. While some are extremely fast and well coded, others are bloated with hundreds of bells and whistles under the pretence of being “versatile and customizable.”

A few years ago, Julian Fernandes of Synthesis ran an interesting case study in which he updated his theme from WordPress’ default to the Genesis framework, monitoring page speed. He noticed that just by changing the theme to Genesis, his loading time improved from 630 to 172 milliseconds.

When you choose a theme, check the page speed of the theme’s demo, using a tool such as Pingdom, to see how quickly it runs with nothing added to it. This should give you an idea of how well coded it is.

USE A CONTENT DELIVERY NETWORK

I recently started using a content delivery network (CDN) for one of my websites and noticed a 55% reduction in bandwidth usage and a huge improvement in page-loading speed.

A CDN hosts your files across a huge network of servers around the world. If a user from Argentina visits your website, then they would download files from the server closest to them geographically. Because your bandwidth is spread across so many different servers, the load on any single server is reduced.

Setting up a CDN can take a few hours, but it’s usually one of the quickest ways to dramatically improve page-loading speed.

12 Quick Fixes To Speed Up WordPress

Now that our foundation is solid, we can begin fine-tuning our website.

A good way to start speeding up a website is to look at what can be removed. More often than not, a website is slow not because of what it lacks but because of what it already has.

1. IDENTIFY PLUGINS THAT ARE SLOWING YOU DOWN

P3 is one of my favourite diagnostic plugins because it shows you the impact of your other plugins on page-loading time. This makes it easy to spot any plugins that are slowing down your website.

A common culprit is social-sharing plugins, most of which bloat page-loading times and can easily be replaced by embedding social buttons into the theme’s source code.

Once you’re aware of which plugins are slowing down your website, you can make an informed decision about whether to keep them, replace them or remove them entirely.

2. COMPRESS YOUR WEBSITE

When you compress a file on your computer as a ZIP file, the total size of the file is reduced, making it both easier and faster to send to someone. Gzip works in exactly the same way but with your Web page files.

Once installed, Gzip automatically compresses your website’s files as ZIP files, saving bandwidth and speeding up page-loading times. When a user visits your website, their browser will automatically unzip the files and show their contents. This method of transmitting content from the server to the browser is far more efficient and saves a lot of time.

There is virtually no downside to installing Gzip, and the increase in speed can be quite dramatic. As we can see in the screenshot above, MusicLawContracts.com goes from 68 KB to only 13 KB with Gzip installed.

Migrating A Website To WordPress

Now powering over 17% of the Web, WordPress is increasingly becoming the content management system (CMS) of choice for the average user. But what about websites built with an outdated CMS or without a CMS at all? Does moving to WordPress mean starting over and losing all the time, energy and money put into the current website? Nope!

Migrating a website (including the design) over to WordPress is actually easier than you might think. In this guide, we’ll outline the migration process and work through the steps with a sample project. We’ll also cover some of the challenges you might encounter and review the solutions.

WordPress Themes

About This Guide

Before we get to work, let’s establish some context. First, this guide was written primarily with beginners in mind and will be most helpful for basic websites. Some of you will likely encounter advanced aspects of WordPress migration, but they are beyond the scope of this guide. If you’re tackling an advanced migration and get stuck, feel free to share your difficulty in the comments below.

OBJECTIVES

The objective of this guide is to help you with the following:

  • Plan an effective migration to WordPress.
  • Walk through the technical steps involved in migrating.
  • Get ideas and resources to solve common migration challenges.
  • WordPress Themes

ASSUMPTIONS

I assume you have basic familiarity with WordPress. Previous development experience with WordPress would be helpful, but not necessary. I also assume you have an existing website and design that you want to migrate to WordPress.

BASIC STEPS

Here are the basic steps that I recommend you follow for a typical WordPress migration:

  1. Evaluate website.
    Work carefully through the pages on your existing website, identifying all of the types of content (standard pages, photo galleries, resource pages, etc.) and noting any areas that need special attention.
  2. Set up environment.
    Set up WordPress and get ready to import.
  3. Import content.
    Bring over and organize your content, whether via an importing tool, manual entry (for a small amount, when no tool is available) or a custom importing process.
  4. Migrate design.
    Incorporate your existing design into a custom WordPress theme.
  5. Review website, go live.
    Carefully review the import, making adjustments where needed, set up any URL redirects, and then go live.
  6. WordPress Themes

With this outline in mind, let’s work through each step in detail.

Start With A Plan

The key to a successful migration is to carefully evaluate your current website. You need to figure out how to import and structure the content in WordPress before carrying over the design.

While the principles are the same across migration projects, the details often vary. So, below are two lists of questions to ask as you work out a plan.

IMPORTED CONTENT

  • How much content needs to be imported (number of pages, number of images, etc.)?
  • Is the volume low enough to be imported manually, or do you need a tool?
  • If you need a tool, does one already exist?
  • Can the content be categorized into the standard “posts” and “pages,” or does it call for custom post types?
  • Does extra content need to be stored for certain pages (custom fields, taxonomies, etc.)?
  • Will the URL structure change? If so, will the old URLs need to be redirected?

EXISTING FUNCTIONALITY

  • Does the website integrate any third-party services (data collection, reservations, etc.)?
  • Do any forms need to be migrated (contact forms, application forms, etc.)?
  • Is access to any content restricted (such as members-only content)?
  • Does the website sell products (digital or physical)?
  • Do any administrative tools need to be carried over (such as custom CMS functionality)?
  • WordPress Themes

A WORKING EXAMPLE

My brother, Joshua Wold, has volunteered a website to serve as an example; it’s for a side project of his in which he sells posters and postcards of a Vegan Food Pyramid. He built the website in plain HTML, with some basic PHP includes for the header and footer. Below is a screencast of me evaluating the website to give you a sense of how the process will work. Enjoy!

Set Up WordPress

Before importing the content, we need to get WordPress ready to go. If you’re just experimenting or if you prefer offline development, start with a local installation of WordPress. Otherwise, the next step is to install WordPress with your current hosting provider; or you could use the migration process as a great opportunity to move to a new host.

Once WordPress is up and running, you’re ready for action!

WordPress Themes

For our example, we’ve installed WordPress with the same host, setting it up in a wp directory for the duration of the migration process.

SETTINGS AND PLUGINS

With WordPress Themes installed, we’ll make a few minor adjustments:

  • Update permalinks.
    Go to Settings → Permalinks to make changes. In most cases, I’ll switch to “postname”-style permalinks.
  • Update users.
    I create an admin-level account for myself and any admin or editor accounts that are needed for clients and collaborators. I also remove the default “admin” user name if it exists (a basic but wise step for WordPress security).

Depending on the needs of the project, we might have to preinstall plugins. Here are the major categories of plugins:

  • Form management
    Migrating a form “as is” is usually a mess; simply recreating it using a forms plugin is usually easier. My current favorite is Gravity Forms ($39+ per license). Other options are Formidable (with free and pro versions) and Contact Form 7 (entirely free).
  • SEO management
    Search engine optimization (SEO) is a touchy subject. My philosophy is to build content for people, not for search engines. That being said, there is a common-sense approach to SEO that is solidly supported by the WordPress plugin ecosystem. And if your old website includes custom meta descriptions, giving them a new home during the importing process is important. I recommendWordPress SEO (free).
  • Multiple languages
    If your old website supports multiple languages, WordPress has you covered. My plugin of choice is WPML ($79 per license, free for non-profits). Another option isqTranslate (free).
  • Security
    WordPress security is a topic near and dear to me. The increasing popularity of WordPress has made it a target for security attacks. WordPress itself is rarely the problem; a poorly secured hosting environment or an outdated or poorly developed plugin usually is. I use managed WordPress hosting for the majority of my projects, which offers a good foundation for solid WordPress security. Options include WPEngine, ZippyKid, Pagely and Synthesis. In addition to managed hosting (and especially if you opt for a non-managed host), consider installing a security plugin, such as Better WP Security (free) or Wordfence (also free). Last but not least, review the “Hardening WordPress” guide in the Codex.
  • Backups
    If you opt for managed hosting, backups are usually included (make sure, though). If you’re managing backups yourself or you want an extra layer of data protection, great options are available, including VaultPress ($15+ a month), CodeGuard ($5+ a month), BackupBuddy ($75+ per license) and BackWPup (free).

Child Themes for WP Framework

The theme framework you’ve built will be used as a parent theme in the sites you develop. This means that in each case you’ll need to create a child theme to create a unique site with its own design and with extra or different functions compared to the framework.

The obvious way to go about this is to dive in and start creating template files in your child theme to override those in the framework, but thanks to the action and filter hooks you’ve added to your framework, this might not always be the best approach.

In this article, I’ll outline some of the techniques you can use in your child themes to make best use of your framework and improvise your workflow.

The topics I’ll cover are as follows:

Creating starter child themes
Amending code via the framework’s filter hooks
Adding code via the framework’s action hooks
Creating template files in your child theme
When to use a plugin instead
Creating Starter Child Themes framework

The main purpose of developing your theme framework is to adopt the DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) principle, and that applies to your child themes, too.

It can make you more efficient if you create one or more ‘starter’ child themes for use with your framework, which contain the core code you need to get started on new projects.

When deciding how to go about doing this, consider the way you work and the sites you build:

Do you create a lot of sites for clients in the same sector with similar needs?
Do you want to offer low cost template based sites to smaller clients?
Are there specific template files you tend to create for most of your new projects?
Is there functionality you need to include on some sites but not others? (For example, I use two starter child themes, one with comment functionality and one without.)
Is there styling you tend to use for most projects, or can you use object oriented styling or a CSS preprocessor for most projects?
Are there libraries or resources you use for most new projects, or for a significant proportion of them?
Do you have two or three main categories you can place projects under, with each category involving similar development work?
If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, then developing one or more starter child themes may save you time. You can create a set of child themes with the basic code that you repeat across all projects using them, and then you don’t need to rewrite that code (or create those files) for each new project.

Note on caveat: If you’re adding some code to every single new project, you may want to add it to your framework instead of to child themes, maybe by using a hook so you can override it if a different need arises in the future.

Even if you answered no to the questions above, it’s worth creating a very basic starter theme with an empty stylesheet and functions file, and adding the instructions WordPress needs to access your framework’s parent theme .

You might also want to create a starter functions.php file with the functions you most frequently use in your child themes. You can then choose to remove any of these and/or add to them for specific projects.

Amending Code via Filter Hooks

As well as adding styling to your child theme, you’ll most likely want to make changes to the code output by the framework. The most lightweight way of doing this is via filter hooks, so it’s worth exploring those first to identify if you can use any of them.

Creating a function which you then attach to a filter hook is much more efficient than creating a whole new template file for the new code; however, if you find yourself doing this repeatedly with the same filter hook, you might want to consider changing that filter hook to an action hook and writing a new function for each project which you activate via that action hook.

To be more efficient, you might want to create a set of relevant functions which you place in the functions file of different start themes or even create a plugin with your function which you activate when needed. I’ll cover plugins in more detail later in this series.

Adding Code via Action Hooks

Your theme framework will also have action hooks which you can use to insert content in various places in your sites.

If you’ve been working on the code files for the framework bundled with this tutorial series, you’ll have seven action hooks to work with:

before the header
inside the header
before the content
after the content
in the sidebar
in the footer
after the footer.
To do this, create a functions.php file in your child theme and .

There is plenty of other content you could add using your action hooks, such as sharing buttons above or below the content, extra content in the footer, a search box in the header and much more.

You might just want to add some content on specific page types, such as single blog posts, in which case the most obvious place to start would be by creating a newsingle.php template. But you can still use your action hooks with the addition of a conditional tag.

Creating New Template Files

On occasion you won’t be able to do what you want using the filter or action hooks in your framework, in which case you’ll need to create new template files in your child themes.

These might be the same template files as are stored in your framework, in which case the files in the child theme will override them. Or they might be new template files, for example for a new category, taxonomy or post type.

If you are creating template files in your child themes, it makes things easier if you use the template files in your framework as a starting point. The steps I follow are:

Identify the template file you need to create with reference to the WordPress template hierarchy
Create a blank file with the appropriate name in your child theme
Identify the file in your framework which is closest to the new file (again with reference to the template hierarchy)
Copy the contents of that into your new file
Make amendments to the new file as required.
Doing this saves you the work of duplicating any code which will be common between your new file and the existing files in your framework, such as the calls to include files.

When to Use a Plugin Instead

Another option you have when creating sites based on your framework is to use plugins in conjunction with your child themes. A plugin won’t replace a child theme completely, but it can be useful in the following circumstances:

The functionality you want to add isn’t theme-dependent (i.e. you want to keep it if the site ever changes theme in future). This might include registering custom post types or taxonomies, for example.
You want to use this functionality on a number of the sites you create, but not enough for it to go into a starter child theme or the framework itself.
I’ll cover developing plugins for your framework in the next part of this series.

Summary

Your theme framework is just the starting point of a library of code and files you’ll create to support the sites you develop. Each site you create will need to run on a child theme, which will have your framework theme as its parent.

As we’ve seen, your child themes will add their own styling and functionality, and they can do this by hooking into the action and filter hooks in your framework, or via the creation of new template files. It’s always a good idea to adopt the solution which needs the least code, as that makes your site faster and your life easier!
