I have a team of several offshore devs working on a site I created a copy of the live site for each of them and they are all assigned different tasks, over time their installations became so different that we are spending hours just for debugging, question: what would be the most efficient method to have a team work together without conflicting on each others work? (git? )

i started reading about all of this... I got a massive headache....

Essentially I want something that also has the website live (for specific users not for the general public) so in the backend there's a repo with full versioning and history of commits and on front end theres a website from the latest version so that we can use the same system for testing , and it is not a static website, it's php+sql

I found https://www.springloops.io/ what it does is connects to a git and than deploys to ftp (or other options) basically it's a IFTTT for git

Are you sure you want to publish every commit? What if one of the developers commits something which breaks another developers work? Git allows you to have separate branches which you can then merge into the master when all seems well, and can easily be rolled back. All of your developers would have to know git well for that though.

No i will publish what I choose, however with git, how will the dev site be live for testing? do you suggest I create a dev site and push from git to ftp?

Simple answer is yes.

Their remote repo should be your dev/testing server. Any changes go there. If all's good you push to the live server.

I'll start:
I have a WP website and recently, when I try to visit one of the pages I get the following message: This webpage has a redirect loop.
 Anybody have advice on how to fix this. I'm pretty much a novice when it comes to website development, so any help in layman's terms will be appreciated.
TIA

 In w.p there are many issues you have to check some plug in first for getting into some other idea because from some time i had a site with the same problem i have reserved it but there was a guy he told me that some plug in ar not supporting your site version that why i have changed it and you have to be extra careful in w.p if you uninstall any plug in the  then the site may crash.

So I have a website that I'm setting up. There was one thing that was really bugging me about it. It's a responsive site and  it had a pair of two buttons that moved to the top left corner of a section when on the mobile version. I wanted them to stay on the top right corner like how it looks on desktop.

I looked at the source code on the element inspector and saw that the buttons are an unordered list with each button being a list item.

It was something like this

<div class="mainarea">

<ul class="buttons">

<li>
<li>

The div had a property of position: relative  but the ul was position: absolute

First I just tried deleting the position: absolute totally from the css file but it didn't change anything.

Then I changed the ul to position: relative and the buttons went to the top right corner of the div where I wanted them to be.

My question is why did it go there because of that? Shouldn't it go on the top left?
(I don't really know much about html or css I'm asking based on my current understanding of what position: relative does)

What's even weirder is that I have a clone website where I test any changes before I do it on my main one. I just tried doing the same thing on my main site and it doesn't go to the top right it stays on the left  ???

Any help would be appreciated

ETA: I actually just cleared my browser data and tried it again and it seems to be working fine

I'm trying to add 4 videos into MailChimp without making separate blocks for them. So I try to insert this via code


<iframe width="280" height="315" src="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PsI7nyLNVvg" frameborder="10" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

<iframe width="280" height="315" src="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PsI7nyLNVvg" frameborder="10" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

But it delete itself. I see that they have some T&C

Code Block Tips
Here are are some tips for how to use the Code content block.

Don't use JavaScript.
Because most email clients block JavaScript to protect against viruses, we automatically remove all detectable JavaScript from your code.
Don't use a word-processing program to create HTML content.
Programs like Microsoft Word or Publisher can add extra styling code, and distort your campaign. We recommend that you write the HTML code in a simple text editor and then paste the code into the Code block.
Use embedded or inline CSS.
In most cases, external CSS files will not work in HTML email. You can add embedded or inline CSS to a Code block, preferably above the body section of your campaign layout. For the best results, we recommend you use inline CSS.
Use media queries to ensure responsive design.
If you want your code to be mobile responsive, you’ll need to include media queries. A media query is a CSS component that allows your content to adapt to different devices. To learn more, check out the W3C Recommendation for Media Queries and the Litmus guide to How to Code a Responsive Email from Scratch.
Use the Content Manager or absolute paths for images and files.
Use our Content Manager to host files and images for your campaign. Grab the file URL from the Content Manager and paste it into your code in the Code block. If you host your images on your own server, use absolute paths.


Is there a way for me to insert it by changing a few small things?

I don't think I've ever seen a video actually embedded in an email. What's usually done is putting a placeholder image that when clicked takes you to a page with the video.

They have an option of just putting in the URL and it automatically creates the picture. My problem is and I'd like to put in 4 different videos and don't want to have it as 4 different blocks.

I'm confused about what this means. Does a class name need to have something before the period. In this example they write "p.subheader" and they use the class for a <p> tag. Does it need a prefix before the period? If yes does it have to match the tag you're using?

For example can I make a class

Code: [Select]
.sampleclass {
Font-weight: bold;
Color: red;
}

Then use this for any HTML tag?

No


However if you only want to apply a style to all elements that have the class subheader and are in a P this is how you would specify p.subheader

I need help regarding the best and easiest method for redirecting old permalinks from my old website (using ID based links) to my new website using SEO optimized links.

I would appreciate a PM alternatively we can continue the discussion here.
