The idea of directly modifying the database using $wpdb is not what you should worry about, it’s what wp_update_post() does that you should be considering. This function internally uses the $wpdb to update the post, and if you know what you’re doing, then do it. But… Many plugins can hook into the actions that are … Read more

I will post my findings here as they will likely be useful to anyone else facing a similar situation. I had considered whether the issue was with the CDN redirection implemented on the site (a plug-in). But the fact that every (3 of the most popular) CDN plug-ins I tried, and every cache plug-in with … Read more
I Would start with creating a array that hold all “conditions” logic, loop it, check to see if some condition is met and return the value. $conditions = [ ‘variable_1’ => ‘DoSomeStuffWithVariable_1’, ‘variable_1’ => ‘DoSomeStuffWithVariable_1’, ‘variable_1’ => ‘DoSomeStuffWithVariable_1’, ‘variable_xy’ => ‘DoSomeStuffWithVariable_xy’ ]; foreach ($conditions as $condition_key => $condition_value) { if (isset($_POST[$condition_key])) { $returnArray[‘return’] = $model->$condition_value(); … Read more
