When building a theme in Drupal, it's often necessary to adapt your site’s UI dynamically based on the context in which a user is navigating. One such piece of dynamic content is the menu title. Achieving this can be a bit tricky due to the layered nature of its routing and menu systems. This reference article will walk you through the process of fetching the current menu title within the `hook_preprocess_page` function in your Drupal theme's `.theme` file.

The issue – I have a content type that includes an entity reference revisions field named field_introduction. This field points to a paragraph, which itself contains a text field also named field_introduction, of the type Text (formatted, long). How can I access the content stored in this paragraph's field_introduction field?

Dealing with errors in Drupal development is a common occurrence, and understanding how to interpret and resolve them is essential for smooth development workflows. In this article, we'll delve into a specific error message related to render arrays in Drupal and discuss steps to diagnose and fix the issue.

Alright, picture this: you're knee-deep in Drupal 10 development, churning out code like a pro. But hold up, what's this? Twig debug mode is still on in production? Cue the headaches. Suddenly, your beautifully crafted HTML is drowning in unnecessary output, and innocent contact form responses are sprouting template suggestions left and right. It's a mess.

I'm getting the following error

As noted above, the relevant function is unpackArgumentValue

Have you ever walked into a situation at work and just wondered how everything still runs smoothly? I mean, there are deployments with so many fail-safes stacked on a shaky foundation that it's almost a miracle they work at all. The real trick is gently nudging the team toward accepting change to develop a more stable and robust process—something that really lines up with Drupal best practices.

The red flag was when I saw the server disk space is showing a site is taking up 57992.5 MB, where locally the site size is showing 957MB.  There is something serious happening here and I need to establish the problem quickly.  When dealing with a significant discrepancy in site size between a local environment and a server, it's important to identify the root cause of the larger disk usage on the server. 

Extending the functionality of a contrib module in Drupal can enhance its usefulness without altering the original codebase. This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to add custom configuration options to an existing contrib module, using the sitewide_alert module as an example. We will extend its configuration by adding new settings through a separate custom module named sitewide_alert_ext.

When receiving a logic error such as
