Found this little trick recently to auto update the year in your footer:
Add this to functions:
/* Renders current year */
function display_current_year() {
return date('Y');
}
add_shortcode('current_year', 'display_current_year');
Put this shortcode where you want the year to show up:
[current_year]
Gravity Forms is a premium WordPress plugin that allows sites to create custom forms to receive better feedback from their customers. By default only WordPress Admins have access to this plugin. That’s not practical when there are multiple editor accounts using the site.
In order to give editors access the following code will need to be added to the sites functions.php file. Using a child theme is ideal but not required for this step to work.
[php]/* make gravity forms available to Editor role */
function add_gf_cap()
{
$role = get_role( ‘editor’ );
$role->add_cap( ‘gform_full_access’ );
}
add_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘add_gf_cap’ );
[/php]
In visual composer you can convert the entire page to shortcode and copy that to new pages to duplicate content. In Elementor things are different. But there is a way to do it using XML imports.
Follow the steps from this artbees link and you can copy over entire websites from a testing environment quickly. (Don’t forget to re-upload missing images.)

Recently our Velare Systems emails broke. We recently closed our Bluehost hosting accounts down and moved them to A2 Hosting. We forgot to update the MX records for our Velare Systems Gmail account. Below are the steps on how to do that.
Step 1: Login to Bluehost – Click Domains > Zone Editor
Here you will be able to add different record types. For this make sure MX records are selected in the type field.
Step 2: Add Google MX Records – Google has 5 records to add. Here is the list. If you need to add records for other domain hosts follow this list.
Step 3: Wait 4 hours for propagation – You can click this link to see if the record has been added. Just type in velaresystems.com and make sure MX is selected. Bluehost said it takes 4 hours and Google said it takes 24 hours for the email to be at 100%.
Login to the Cpanel of the site, e.g. A2, Bluehost. Use the Velare Logins sheet if you don’t know the pwd.
Create your domain:
For a sub domain, open the sub domain module and create your sub domain, then create a sub folder ‘wp’
Create your database from the Cpanel: *Make sure to record this info*
If you ever need to embed a website within a website its possible using iframe code. This is similar to embedding videos to pages. Usually Youtube and social media provide their own embedding code.
Just paste the code into the text editor of your WordPress page, update the link and change your width and height to match the page settings. Then your good to go.
*Note: The code only works if the page is using the same protocol as the one its linking to. For example a Https page has to link to a Https page. If it goes to Http the link will break.
[php]<iframe data-lazyloaded="1" src="about:blank" data-litespeed-src="URL goes here" width="600" height="300"></iframe>[/php]
