I’ve been working on an OER textbook project for some number of years. It is in Pressbooks. The latest issue has been that the textbook was imported to the grant provider’s site and for some reason the glossary terms are all set to private. There is no bulk edit option to publicize them and there […]

Events Calendar Pro recurring event category problem
I was trying to do some specific template changes based on a category with Events Calendar Pro events. With single events, I could pretty easily use has_term like I’d do with a regular WP post. For some reason this wouldn’t work with recurring events. I’m still not sure why. I didn’t go into the database […]

Pressbooks URL re-write with javascript
I supported the creation of a PressBooks OER textbook at VCU. It’s now getting published as part of a VIVA grant. As part of that, the book is imported into the central VIVA PressBooks site. They reached out to me indicating that the image links for WP media links were failing on the VIVA site. […]
Add media storage amount to wpms sites view
For one of our multisites, I wanted an easy way to see show people the media storage usage per site. I did a bit of Googling and got a couple functions to get the size of a directory using PHP.1 Then I just appended it to the column I’d already customized to show the posts […]
Sending Reminder Emails
So what I’m doing here is sending an email the day before an event someone registered for via a Gravity Forms process I set up. This is kind of an interesting pattern because it moves back and forth from the Gravity Forms API and uses a mix of Events Calendar functions, in addition to basic […]
List all my WP multisite blogs shortcode

This function uses three WP functions. You can check out the links for more details.<footnote>This is actually kind of a neat […]
Revisiting Minimal WordPress
I’ve blogged a number of times over the years about minimizing the complexity that’s exposed in WordPress’s dashboard. I’ve done that in a couple different ways. The Gravity Forms-driven front end where you avoid WP’s dashboard entirely is one path. The other way was to just remove stuff that’s like irrelevant to different groups. I […]
Request this workshop
I’m working on a DLINQ website and I’m recycling1 ideas I liked from the old ALT Lab website days.2 This one is about having a list of workshops that we normally offer and making it easy for people to request them. My goal is to try to meet people’s needs for workshops and make what […]
Conditional Field Display in ACF Based on Options Value
In ACF, the conditional logic for fields is constrained to data found in the other fields in the group. That works for most things. In this case, I wanted to have an options page for the theme that allowed two different patterns for timeline events. If you choose the “structured events” pattern, I want to […]

Taking Reservations in Gravity Forms
I should have written this post first, but I didn’t. Give me some credit. I’m still writing stuff on the Internet. The years have proven that’s a higher bar than one might expect. So, we want people to be able to register for events and we want to be able to send them emails, mark […]
