Important Notice for WordPress Plugins Using PHP 4 Style Constructors

The ability to use PHP 4 style constructors is getting removed from PHP. Without an update, many plugins will eventually no longer work (this is PHP breaking this backwards compatibility, not WordPress)

One of the more common uses of the PHP 4 style constructor (as opposed to PHP 5 style __construct() ) are plugins with widgets calling WP_Widget::WP_Widget() and/or parent::WP_Widget() and/or {object}->WP_Widget()

Note: Starting in WordPress 4.3, regardless of the PHP version in use on a server, WordPress will throw a deprecated notice when one of the PHP 4 style constructors is called specifically for widgets.

Basically instead of doing these:

#Laravel 5 Simple ACL manager

Protect your routes with user roles. Simply add a 'role_id' to the User model, install the roles table and seed if you need some example roles to get going.

If the user has a 'Root' role, then they can perform any actions.

Installation

Simply copy the files across into the appropriate directories, and register the middleware in App\Http\Kernel.php

How WordPress Plugins Should Handle Front End Resources

This is a WORK IN PROGRESS intended for fleshing out and feedback

It's very common for people to be unhappy with how a WordPress plugin adds front end resources to their site. If a plugin needs CSS, the plugin will add a <link> element to that CSS. If the plugin needs JavaScript, it will add a <script> to that JavaScript.

Plugins do this because it works. It's damn important for a WordPress plugin to work, even in adverse conditions. They rightfully want good ratings and little customer support.

But this comes at the cost of additional HTTP requests. In optimizing front end performance of a site, reducing the number of HTTP requests is a huge thing. Front end developers want to decide and control how front end resources are being handled, and WordPress plugins don't typically make this easy on them.

For the scenario, imagine posts has a foreign key user_id referencing users.id

public function up()
{
	Schema::create('posts', function(Blueprint $table) {
		$table->increments('id');
		$table->string('title');
		$table->text('body');

-function wc_local_pickup_plus_remove_pickup_location() {
-	$methods = WC()->shipping->load_shipping_methods();
-	if ( isset( $methods['local_pickup_plus'] ) ) {
-		remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_template_part', array( $methods['local_pickup_plus'], 'review_order_shipping_pickup_location' ), 10, 4 );
-	}
-}
-add_action( 'wc_shipping_local_pickup_plus_init', 'wc_local_pickup_plus_remove_pickup_location' );
