If it works why change it again… I wish someone would tell the WP techies that….

If a temporary fix works and does the trick there’s no incentive to make it permanent.

And it’s true for so many things, too. My church was in a temporary building for almost 10 years!

My house is like that – moved here 18 years ago as a temporary thing after I lost the lease on my other “temporary” home (was there 10 years). Someday I will find a permanent home…

I’ve got so many “temp fixes” it’s amazing anything keeps working.

Especially one that’s repeatable. The time I’ve saved not having to really solve a problem–it’s stunning.

Got that right! And since the code that you add is only “temporary”, you don’t need to bother to comment it in the code, or document it, right? You’ll remember it since you’ll fix it in a few days. Which somehow turns into 5 years later. 🙂
