It is common practice for developers to work on several servers or tiers in order to test their work and make sure code is ready to deploy without introducing errors on a live production environment. WP Engine features multiple environments per WordPress installation and provides a multi-tiered workflow. It is possible for developers to work on a separate development site until code is ready to be shared with a client.
WP-CLI is a tool that allows commands to be run in WordPress from the command line or terminal.

This article is a part of a series on writing object-oriented PHP for WordPress development. So far, we’ve spent two articles on writing the code and now we will test the code and systems. It takes an enormous amount of tooling to write code and back in my day I walked uphill both ways,

If your client serves a non-English speaking audience, you may need to produce a website that works in multiple languages. Given that implementing multiple languages means a potential wealth of new custom, don’t let the fear of tackling a multilingual website stop you from working with these types of clients.

Since the WordPress REST API was first proposed, we’ve talked a lot about how it will be involved in the future of wp-admin. Gutenberg, the new WordPress UI system that will be used for the new post editor in WordPress 5.0 is the first example we have of the REST API being used to communicate data between the server and a JavaScript-driven interface.
