Common commands include installing and managing plugins, interacting with the database, searching and replacing content, generating test content, and more.

Frontend testing with Codeception
Frontend testing with CodeceptionChristian Keuerleber Made for T3DD19
Every developer has made the experience that new changes to a project end up breaking existing code. In a worst-case scenario, these new errors sneak into the production system unnoticed.
In order to ensure that your website works, ideally before deploying the code, you should implement automated tests. While most developers are very familiar with functional and unit tests, they often shy away from frontend tests.
I want you show you how easy it can be to set up and run browser-based tests with codeception. This way, you can rest assured that your frontend doesn't break without you noticing.

Angels versus demons: balancing shiny and inclusive
Angels versus demons: balancing shiny and inclusiveChris Mills The modern web developer faces a moral choice when creating sites and apps. The angel on your shoulder tells you to use standards and respect accessibility across users of AT, older browsers, mobile, etc. The devil on your other shoulder meanwhile tells you to use all the shiny, satisfy your ego, and leave user agents over two weeks old in the dust.
This talk walks you through the dilemma, looking at the perils of embracing the serpent and presenting solutions that will allow you to achieve a satisfactory compromise. We know the devil has all the good albums, and we want to rock out as much as you do! But not at the expense of the Web’s greatest strengths!
Good WordPress Gone Bad – How To Troubleshoot WordPress When Things Go Wrong
Good WordPress Gone Bad – How To Troubleshoot WordPress When Things Go WrongDamon Schopen We’ve all been there. Your finger is on the mouse, ready to click, but you pause. You think to yourself, “Will this click be the one that I regret? The one that can’t be undone?”
Sometimes you’re working away when you get the dreaded error message. Frustrated and confused you think, “Great, now what do I do?”
WordPress is an amazing platform that offers a lot of flexibility and control, but with that flexibility comes more complex problems. Many people who are unfamiliar with WordPress are often afraid of making a mistake. Fear and apprehension are common emotions when a WordPress site has an issue. Knowing how to solve a few of the most common problems can give even beginners the confidence to use WordPress without anxiety.
Some of the topics that will be covered include:
What is a good backup strategy for when things go wrong?
How do you use revision history to undo mistakes?
What should you do when you see, “Error establishing a database connection.”
What to do when you see only a blank white screen?
Troubleshooting WordPress
Troubleshooting WordPressNile Flores This document provides guidance on troubleshooting common WordPress problems.

Common issues covered include the white screen of death, syntax errors, out of memory errors, 500 internal server errors, missing sidebars, maintenance mode issues, and database connection errors. The document recommends searching online resources and forums if initial troubleshooting does not resolve the problem and hiring an expert if issues remain unsolved.

How analogue intelligence complements AI
How analogue intelligence complements AIPaul Rowe
Artificial Intelligence is providing benefits in many areas of work within the heritage sector, from image analysis, to ideas generation, and new research tools. However, it is more critical than ever for people, with analogue intelligence, to ensure the integrity and ethical use of AI. Including real people can improve the use of AI by identifying potential biases, cross-checking results, refining workflows, and providing contextual relevance to AI-driven results.
News about the impact of AI often paints a rosy picture. In practice, there are many potential pitfalls. This presentation discusses these issues and looks at the role of analogue intelligence and analogue interfaces in providing the best results to our audiences. How do we deal with factually incorrect results? How do we get content generated that better reflects the diversity of our communities? What roles are there for physical, in-person experiences in the digital world?

Common is way too vague, but what we will cover is the best way to troubleshoot when your site is not acting the way it is supposed to. We will aim this talk at the beginner, our goal is to stay away from code and error logs to show you what you can do to troubleshoot your site if problems arise.
