How to pause browser execution when F8 is not working

Let’s break down a simple trick that can help you manipulate and understand your code better.

To begin with, access your developer console. This can usually be found in your browser’s Developer Tools under the ‘Console’ tab. Depending on the browser you’re using, you might need to use different shortcuts (like F12) or methods to open it. But don’t worry, a quick search on how to open the developer console in your specific browser should get you on the right track.

Once you’ve opened the console, the next step involves entering a particular command. All you need to do is simply paste the provided command line in the console. This is what we’re going to use to manipulate our code. After pasting the command, hit the ‘Enter’ key to execute it.

document.addEventListener('keydown', function (e) {

if (e.keyCode == 119) { // F8

debugger;

}

}, {

capture: true

});

Now, your code should still be in an ‘unpaused’ state. But when you press F8 on the keyboard, it should pause. It’s like freezing a moment in time, letting you thoroughly inspect and understand how your code behaves for specific elements. This can be especially useful when debugging hover-effects and mouseovers.

With this simple trick, your web development toolkit has a new superpower! Experiment, explore, and let your code reveal its secrets to you. Happy coding!”

Google Family Link: After Unlocking your child’s device with parental access, how do you re-lock it?

I have been using Google Family Link recently in order to keep my child’s mobile phone online while safeguarding it against mature content.

Sometimes I have logged in to the device using the parent access code and that has brought up a question that doesn’t seem to have great answers in the manual of this software: How does one logout from the child’s device after accessing it with the family link parent code?

Here’s the answer: in order to quit accessing the child’s device as a parent, go to the Google Family Link app on the parent’s device and right beneath the circular image on the top, there should be your child’s device listed. Click on the name of the device and click on “lock”. Now the device should only be available if there is screen time left and the time is withing the allowed time limits.

Several blog rolls on a single WordPress site using categories

Here’s a simple code example of how you can have separate blog roll areas on your WordPress website which show different types of blog content. Just add this query to your template file:

<?php
  $query = new WP_Query(array('category_name' => 'reviews'));
  
  if ($query->have_posts()): while ($query->have_posts()): $query->the_post();
?>

<div class="review">
  <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
  <?php the_content(); ?>
</div>

<?php
  endwhile;
  else:
    echo 'No posts';
  endif;
?>

If you don’t want to hard code the blog roll in a template file, another option would be to add the category rolls to your menu in the menu editor. That way clicking on such a menu link will take you to the blog post list (archive) of the posts that belong to that archive.
