using local/wp/wp for all content

Blog

  • Create astro-local
    Category:

    and use local/wp/wp headlessly for its content.

    This post was created in WP. Will we be able to add posts created in Astro?

  • Try out ncvp theme
    Category:

    Even after inhibiting the loading of a lot of block stuff on each page, site looks quite good.
    In particular, Home page works, although the styling of the list of posts may be a bit lacking.

  • Source of media files
    Category:

    Move images and other media files which have to be loaded by URL to the cloud so the URLs don't have to be fiddled with as the site is copied around

  • Reduce canonical WP
    Category:

    Something basic with the master at localhost/wp/wp and distributed around to the various default cloud sites

  • Move away from block editor
    Category:

    Now it's clear that I don't need full site editing and only need the block editor for the Home and Blog pages, convert all other pages and posts to the classic editor.

  • Category vs Tag
    Category:

    Each post has only one Category. It can have various tags

  • Different menus on different pages
    Category:
    If these can be made to work smoothly I may not need a hybrid site, like my new garden, but look carefully at Planting Plans.
    This may be another case like CAS membership form with payment where I can use a shortcode to basically dump code on a WP page and not worry about registering it.
  • Raw embedded images post
    Category:

    These images are all stored in single image galleries. The first image pops out with Fancybox effect. The other two don't. There's limited controll of the size of images, and there doesn't seem. Not ideal. The mobile display is good.

  • Post with a gallery
    Category:

    The gallery shortcode is eminently copyable because it doesn't include urls.

  • Post with an image
    Category:

    If you don't want the image to pop out with a Fancybox effect use a gallery shortcode with link="none".

    To get a pop out link="file"

    The advantage of using single image galleries in this way is that the code is very simple and there are no urls to interfere with copying.

  • Setting 'allow comments' flag
    Category:

    You can't seem to do this from the normal edit page, but have to go to the quick edit page. Irritating. OK I've found it now. Check 'Discussion' in screen options.

  • Force strong passwords
    Category:

    I'm surprised this isn't part of WP core. There are a few plugins which address the problem, at least one of which admits to being susceptible to being bypassed by a knowledgeable hacker. It ought to be possible to see how strong a user's password is from the dashboard.

  • Now anyone can register
    Category:

    I set this flag so a register button now appears above the log-in button at the bottom of the left-hand menu. Let's see what happens

  • Second level page
    Category:

    The root is level 0. We never see it.

    The pages in the top menu are level 1. This menu is effectively static.

    The menu item for this level two page appears at the extreme left of the side menu.

  • Presentation slide page style
    Category:

    Something between a page and a series of posts. Initial experiments quite promising, but requiring a child theme for each theme used is not a good thing.
