How to specify where video starts and stops when embedding a video in wordpress?

For example, If I put this, it will start at 0:00:01, but what if I wanted it to start at 0:50:05 and end at 1:30:00?

Can someone help me with a SQL Query for VB 3.8.7

I am needing a SQL Query I can run in the AdminCP to:

Change the password for every user that is a member of primary usergroup id# 65.

The password will be chosen by me and I want all the members of usergroup id# 65 to have the same password.

Thanks in advance.

I can’t exactly help you without you providing any details on your schema but keep in mind that the password is most likely hashed, salted, and rehashed so you consider that when you write your query otherwise your admins won’t be able to access VB anymore.

help with adding a dynamic feature to my film site

i dont know any html, php or python, but i can figure it out if someone could show me where to start as far as the type of commands and scripts i would need. A how-to guide on the internet would be helpful too.

this is what i want to do:

the review for the movie would be pulled from my profile on and the buttons would link to the movie profile on the following sites: imdb, rotten tomatoes, metacritic, and letterboxd. i dont think that would be too difficult, but it would involve a script that searched those sites for that movie. the reviews, i imagine, would require a similar script, but only for letterboxd and would just pull words from my profile on letterboxd, while also independently updating any time i updated my letterboxd for these specific movies on my personal site. this sounds like it would require some time of script that ran every day and checked my letterboxd for each of the movies on my site. also, any time i watch a new movie that needs to be added to the site, i would probably add it to my letterboxd first, and then im hoping the script on my website would add it too, along with the review and rating and maybe even add a movie poster to another page on my site.

The title "Web Designer" or "Web Developer"

I claim both.

I have built a portfolio of six clients offering web design and web development. My clients are happy campers.

The problem here is I didn’t design anything, nor did I develop.

I use WP and purchase crisp clean themes, add in content, re-arrange widgets, make very little revisions to the files, just enough to change the footer to say "Professionally Developed by [My Site].

So am I more of a web builder?

Copying a WP site to another domain/host

I have a full backup of my WP site that I made in Filezilla and I also have a copy of the database that I exported using phpmyadmin.

I just moved the domain to a new host and I want to restore the website to how it was.

Is it as simple as just reuploading all the files in Filezilla to the new host?

Also, I tried to import my copied database in phpmyadmin and got an error that says database does not exist. Well obviously it doesn’t exist, that’s why I’m trying to import it! Do I have to create one with the same name first?

How do I update all instances of my old domain in SQL?

I got a new domain to replace an old one. There are a few dozen instances of the old domain name in some of the tables. Rather than going through each one individually and replacing it, is there a way I can just do a massive find/replace? Find every instances of "domain1.com" and replace with "domain2.com." Everywhere. In posts, in image links, in text, etc.

I saw online how to do it but only within a specific row/column. I want to do it everywhere in every table in every row.

You are not a professional PHP/web developer if you’re not using…

I think all modern PHP developers need to familiarize themselves with Composer, git, grunt, and TDD (test-driven development). Also start using PHP’s internal web server. Once you’ve added a new feature or squashed a new bug, then commit to git. Use CI to always run tests before deploying to various environments. All unit and functional tests should pass prior to any deployment. Acceptance test probably isn’t needed for staging, but it is needed for production.

Here is a very brief breakdown of each of the things I listed.

Ctrl+S, Alt+Tab, y, Alt+Tab->Tab, Ctrl+R, Alt+Tab->Tab

More like 2nd monitor + live reload. Amateur.

<script src="http://localhost:35729/livereload.js"></script> or get the chrome extension

grunt-contrib-livereload (or any other watcher) or get the plugin for your ide

ctrl+s + watch browser refresh on 2nd monitor

nice hack for devs

is that port of ur localhost ur root for projects

I have no idea what that y is for, but I’ll bet it’s unnecessary too.

HIVELOCITY for dedicated server?

Anyone deal with HIVELOCITY for hosting? They have some great pricing and I’ve been reading a lot of great reviews so I’m considering switching from Liquidweb to them. Liquidweb has served me well over the years, , but I feel like I’m not getting much for my money at this point for a managed dedicated server. I also have been pretty disappointed with their support this year so far, it doesn’t seem to be as good as it used to be. Dunno if anyone actually comes into this forum any more though
