Moving posts from one site to another in WordPress

Migrating content from one WordPress site to another is considered a daunting task. Most people resort to copying the content from each of the posts and pages, over to the new site. They would also need to copy details like post author, timestamp and comments. This method will take too long if there are many posts. Also the comments would list the author name as the person who adds it to the new site. Others would probably copy the same from the old database to the new one. This requires some basic technical knowledge about MySQL, and also how WordPress stores its data. We may want to copy the posts from one site to another for various purposes. Either we could have changed the domain, or maybe we have revamped an existing site and need the content to be moved to the new site. It is just two steps away! : Export and Import The solution to this is provided by WordPress itself, and it isn't as scary as you would expect.  WordPress comes with a built-in “Export” tool, and an ...

Dependent dropdown in magento 2

With dynamic dependent form fields, Store owner can easily ask further qualifying questions based on the user’s answers using various conditions. Basically, dependent forms dynamically show/hide or changes the value of form fields based on the user selections. For example, if you want to list out products of a particular category, then we have to create category-products dropdown so that when users select a category, related products will be shown in dropdown option. Here we’ve come up with the custom code in which whenever user picks country option from drop-down, state drop-down will be displayed with respective options based on the dropdown country selection. And also when user picks country and state option, city option will be displayed based on the country and state selection. We have developed this functionality using Ajax code. Firstly, you need to add form to your phtml file with following code. <select name="country" id="country...

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing – Laravel Framework

The frontend JavaScript code for a web application served from a domain uses Http Request to make a request for the API in the backend domain. For security reasons, browsers restrict cross-origin HTTP requests initiated within scripts. So how do we resolve it? The main cause  is because, Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) is a mechanism that uses additional HTTP headers to tell a browser to let a web application running at one origin (domain) have permission to access selected resources from a server at a different origin. A web application makes a cross-origin HTTP request when it requests a resource that has a different origin (domain, protocol, and port) than its own origin. Here is the Solution for this issue: A web application using those APIs can only request HTTP resources from the same origin the application was loaded from, unless the response from the other origin includes the right CORS headers. The CORS mechanism supports secure cross-origin r...
