Voice Thread’s embed code should like what you see below. For non-super admins who have iframe embed rights we were getting this instead (once the post had updated and been cleansed by our friend kses). It still mostly worked but we needed to tweak things to let in those additional variables (allowusermedia allowfullscreen allow). You […]
Gravity Forms lets you set up user registration via an additional plugin but it require some setup. It’s not hard to run into a scenario where you though people were getting registered but they were not. Not a big deal if it’s a handful of people but not pleasant if it’s more than that. I […]

Ran into an interesting bug today on the Motherblog plugin. Despite being in use for a number of years this is the first time we’ve run into this particular issue.

I talked to some VCU people about ePortofolios1. It’s a conversation I’ve had any number of times over the years. I think that experience is leading to a better understanding of what’s going on structurally and the space we have to navigate competing interests. I’m also in a better position to show how certain technologies […]
We wanted to be able to know whether people signing up for Ram Pages were faculty or not but didn’t want to add fields for them to fill out. VCU has an online phonebook with faculty emails in it but there didn’t appear to be a way to hook into an API. But you can […]
If you cut/paste from a Google Doc into the WordPress WYSIWYG editor you get more than I want. Mainly a bunch of inline CSS that sets the font weight (see below). This is a pain because it’s going to take priority in CSS land and undoing it by hand is a hassle. Some internet wandering […]

Long have I struggled with WordPress Multisite and the way it makes things difficult for non-super admin users. While it is very easy to join additional sites, leaving them on your own is easier said than done. I hesitate to write ‘impossible’ even now as it seems insane that there isn’t a good and obvious […]
