Combine+Minify styles of parent theme and add as inline-style in wordpress

In a recent project, one of my tasks was to optimize and minify the styles included by the child-theme by combining and minify the styles of the parent theme into one file or include as custom inline style.
While working on the task, I ended up reading multiple resources to and writing the function below.
The function first fetches all the styles that are being included on page, and then for the handles belonging to the parent theme, the script then concatenates the scripts and then minifies by using preg_replace().
The generate combined CSS is stored in a database table and updated every 24 hours(triggered on page load).
It then de-registers the style handles we have combined and includes the custom style as an inline style.

On more than a few projects, I have ended up using Gravity Forms either because it was previously installed or was the need of the hour based on the requirements.
Recently, I was asked to ban a certain email address due to frequent spamming by the email address in concern. I am aware of the fact that the spammer can change email address and continue spamming. My task was simple, just ban the email address.
Here is how I chose to complete the task
Strategy for API using Codeigniter REST!
- 23 Aug
- Aadil P.
What was needed?
An existing codeigniter application needed to be fixed, and API endpoints needed to be created for a mobile application.How we tackled it?
We implemented REST CodeIgniter API using the RESTful library by CHRIS. The controllers worked flawlessly out of the box but there was also a requirement for a standalone controller to take care of certain data-exchange, and REST was not an option. A controller was coded to accept the post data, process it and returned the desired result in JSON format. All tests using postman and via jQuery.ajax turned out successful until tests were done from the mobile application itself. Apparently, the mobile application was not sending form-data or x-www-form-urlencoded data. The application was sending JSON data with application/json header which PHP was unable to read using the $_POST or $this->input->post() class of CodeIgniter.Wrapped tw-bootstrap

Here is how you can apply bootstrap styles inside any container tag, without affecting tags and elements outside of the container tag.
<div class=”non-bs-parent”><aside></aside> <div class=”bootstrap-inside”>…</div> </div>
Let’s say you want to apply bootstrap only inside the div.bootstrap-inside container. But default bootstrap sylesheet will impact the entire document. Having a wrapped boostrap stylesheet will limit the bootstrap styles inside the container.Hide Labels in Gravity Forms for WordPress
