I had the chance to work more on the ANTH 101 site with Ryan and Mike over winter break. It’s a pretty significant change. It’s almost entirely gutted in terms of the WordPress side of things with a different theme, some new plugins etc. but also some significant changes on how student see and interact […]

You Can’t Do That on WordPress
I submitted something like this already to NMC but it failed . . . and I did not have a backup copy. They happened to extend the deadline so I’ve resubmitted and I’m sticking a copy here for future reference. It might also be useful just for a handy list of examples. 100 Word Summary […]

500 Error on wp-admin after upgrade
This happened with one of our individual installs and it’s happened before (but I forgot the solution) so I’m writing it down. After the upgrade to 4.7.1, the front of the sight still worked but attempts to get to wp-admin failed with a 500 error and the URL was redirecting to something with upgrade.php? in […]
Bootstrap Collapsible Shortcode Plugin
There are a bunch of these out there but the ones I knew of didn’t quite do what was needed by the Focused Inquiry faculty involved in this project. They wanted a couple things to be possible. The ability to link to specific elements via URL and have them expand. The URL to those elements […]
Minimal WordPress
Sometimes people just want a little bit of WordPress. Before hanging a left with the anth101.com site, we pruned it waaaaay down and tried to make it as simple as possible. This is a pretty solid example that WordPress can be just about anything you want if you’re willing to put in a bit of […]
Vue and the WordPress REST API
I’ve continued to play around with using Vue and WordPress’s API. The Vue stuff is entirely new to me but it’s pushing my javascript knowledge. The main reason I’m excited about the WordPress/Vue (or whatever framework) combinations is simply speed. If you have any doubts give the pagination at the bottom of this demo site […]
Instagram-ish WordPress Filter Shortcode Plugin
That beautiful link-bait title and a picture of a dead leaf! That’s why I’m a social media guru. With that self-promotion out of the way . . . I found this CSS library from Una.1 It lets you apply instagram-like filters to image via CSS. Also got to have a nice interaction with Una via […]
