I use HomeBrew as my OSX package manager.

I'm using Varying Vagrant Vagrants (VVV) from 10up as a MAMP replacement.

I use Variable VVV (vv) as a wizard to spin up new sites in VVV.

It is worth noting that VVV uses NGINX, not Apache. Not a deal breaker for me, but could be for others.

Install HomeBrew (assuming this is Mac OS X)

/**
 * Add params back to oEmbed provider request URL.
 *
 * WordPress runs the embed URL through urlencode prior to constructing it's oEmbed provider endpoint call.
 * This renders any passed in URL query params useless for Vimeo embeds (and probably others).
 * This filter function will decode those URL query param, and add them as proper query args to the provider URL.
 *
 * The first function param, $provider, is the oEmbed provider endpoint.

 * A "Proof Of Concept" Front Page template that displays the first gallery found in the_content, above the_content.
 *
 * The concept could be applied to any singular template, single posts, single pages, single custom post types, static
 * front page, etc (not really for archive pages, or blog home). The function
 * yourthemeprefix_remove_first_gallery_shortcode will then remove the first gallery shortcode that it finds in the
 * content, from the front page, so that we only output the first one once, above our content, and not again, within
 * our content.

/**
 * Increase the number of ACM posts that can be displayed in the ACM admin screen.
 *
 * For some unknown reason, ACM limits the display of ad codes on it's own management screens to 50 ads total out of the box.
 * More than 50 ad codes may actually exist in the database, but the ACM screen will only show 2 pages, 25 each, for a total of 50,
 * even if you have hundreds of ads codes stored in the database! Because of this you can never edit the ads that are on pages 3+!
 * Increase the number of posts that ACM will retrieve for the admin screen with acm_ad_code_count filter.
 * Increase the number of ads per paginated page with the acm_list_table_per_page filter.
 * It appears some sort of caching may be involved, leading to this unexpected/unwanted behavior.
