Having gone through a video course of his some years ago, Wes Bos made a lasting impression on me as someone that could make learning to code really enjoyable and explain relatively complex concepts in an easy-to-understand way. So, when I embarked on this journey to learn React and wanted to go beyond freeCodeCamp’s intro course, I knew where to go next: his React for Beginners course.

Bitnami take security seriously with their applications, there’s no doubt about that. In order to access phpMyAdmin on your AWS instance, it’s not simply a case of navigating to the IP of your instance and adding /phpmyadmin to the end of the URL or going to a control panel and clicking the phpMyAdmin logo.
Luckily, it’s not all that difficult to access it after all. All that we’ll need to do is create an SSH tunnel.
Moving from a popular hosting provider – whether generic (i.e. GoDaddy) or WordPress-specific (i.e. SiteGround) – over to AWS can be a bit daunting at first (I know it was for me!). With this handy guide, however, you can get a new WordPress site up and running on an EC2 server in less than 10 minutes, getting familiar with AWS along the way.
You can get a new server setup on AWS EC2 with WordPress installed via Bitnami quite quickly and relatively easily, but actually logging into WordPress itself can sometimes stop people in their tracks.
In this quick guide I’ll show you two ways to get your password for WordPress from your AWS EC2 server.
An SSH connection gives you control over the configuration of your server. From handling folder permissions to simply removing the Bitnami banner that comes enabled as standard, you’ll need SSH access to do a lot of things.
If you’ve installed WordPress on an AWS EC2 instance using a Bitnami AMI but you don’t know how to connect via SSH, let me help you with this quick guide.
There’s no doubt that Google Tag Manager is a great tool. One of the benefits it brings is that, once implemented, it removes the need for (and burden on) developers to implement various technical requirements. In order to get to that point where everyone’s happy, you need to make sure that Tag Manager is even working in the first place.
Facebook Ads is an incredibly popular platform for running advertising campaigns, but in order to get the most out of it you’ll need to make sure that the Facebook ‘pixel’ is implemented on your website. This is where Google Tag Manager comes in as it’s easier to implement the pixel through this as opposed to via the website’s code itself (which can be challenging and may require a developer).
Google Tag Manager can be used to easily track clicks on any button on your website and send usage data to analytics platforms such as Google Analytics. You can then use that data to measure performance and make informed decisions. If you’re not yet measuring feature usage on your site then this is definitely a good place to start.
If you make use of shortcodes and widgets on your WordPress site (which is probably most of us), you might find that they don’t particularly work well together straight out of the box. For example, including a shortcode in a Text widget does not execute the shortcode itself and just displays the shortcode as text (instead of the actual output of said shortcode).
If you need to let someone else have access to Google Tag Manager – whether that be a freelance developer or a colleague – then you can accomplish this in less than 30 seconds. Just follow the simple steps below.
