The Total Eclipse of the Sun stamp is the first U.S. stamp to use thermochromic ink, which reacts to the heat of your touch. Placing your finger over the black disc on the stamp causes the ink to change from black to clear to reveal an underlying image of the moon. The image reverts back to the black disc once it cools.

Changing git submodule repo after you started editing it

I had to make some changes to a repo to dockerize it. Initially the submodule pointed at the original repo, so I went back and switched it to a fork and branch, so I could make pull requests as necessary.

bash-4.4$ git config --file=.gitmodules -l
git config --file=.gitmodules -l
submodule.indieauth.com.path=indieauth/indieauth.com
submodule.indieauth.com.url=https://github.com/aaronpk/IndieAuth.com.git

bash-4.4$ git config --file=.gitmodules submodule.indieauth.com.url https://github.com/dougbeal/IndieAuth.com.git
git config --file=.gitmodules submodule.indieauth.com.url https://github.com/dougbeal/IndieAuth.com.git
bash-4.4$ git config --file=.gitmodules submodule.indieauth.com.branch docker-fixes
git config --file=.gitmodules submodule.indieauth.com.branch docker-fixes

bash-4.4$ git submodule sync
git submodule sync
Synchronizing submodule url for 'indieauth/indieauth.com'

bash-4.4$ git submodule update --init --recursive --remote
git submodule update --init --recursive --remote
From https://github.com/dougbeal/IndieAuth.com
 * [new branch]      docker-fixes -> origin/docker-fixes

submodule.indieauth.com.path=indieauth/indieauth.com
submodule.indieauth.com.url=https://github.com/dougbeal/IndieAuth.com.git
submodule.indieauth.com.branch=docker-fixes

These commands will do the work on command prompt without altering any files on local repository

git config --file=.gitmodules submodule.Submod.url https://github.com/username/ABC.git
git config --file=.gitmodules submodule.Submod.branch Development
git submodule sync
git submodule update --init --recursive --remote
Please look at the blog for screenshots: Changing GIT submodules URL/Branch to other URL/branch of same repository

Why Categorize when you have Post Kinds and Tags – Disabling categories in WordPress

Consider putting all your changes in a child theme. Look at my child theme as an example.

add to functions.php in your theme:

function dougbeal_unregister_categories() {
    register_taxonomy( 'category', array() );
}
add_action( 'init', 'dougbeal_unregister_categories' );
unregister_widget( 'WP_Widget_Categories' );
