I was able to debug and fix my problems with inserting new entries into my project’s database. Specifically, the new entries would be inserted with some incorrect and missing information. It definitely took longer than I wish it did, but overall I was glad to have found the issue. It turned out that I left some obsolete code in the back-end that needed to be modified.

As an aside, the other day my Linux laptop’s operating system died after trying to update it and I was worried I would lose the code I had been working on for the project. I tried to fix the operating system but I guess I am still not experienced enough to fix the issue. However, luckily I was able to retrieve my data from the laptop using the operating system’s recovery mode. The project was saved! Ultimately, I learned two great lessons regarding Linux as a result: always backup your data before doing big OS updates and recovery mode is your savior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
