RSS lives and the topic has come up a few times recently. It got me thinking and reading stuff I haven’t looked at in a long time. Alan’s Feed WordPress 101 is still gold and reminded me of all kinds of things I had forgotten. Back in the glory days of RSS and the Mother […]

Omeka REST API Experiment
In the Domain of One’s Own workshop yesterday, Ed Beck‘s work around integrating Omeka and WordPress came up. It led me to check out the Omeka S API. I made a functional example in CodePen and a couple of things came up that might be of interest. First, why do something like this? You have […]
Context Dependent WordPress Banner
Note: I will be conducting a sexy SEO title writing workshop in the near future. Goal We’re moving our documentation.1 We want to warn people of that fact just in case they’ve done something odd like bookmark a particular page, are referring to a link from an old email, etc. etc. The main DLINQ site […]
Stacking Images with CSS
I wanted to do a little example for a Gravity Forms workshop series I’m doing with Reclaim Hosting. The goal was to play off the Wonder Twins and their ability to change into various shapes. So I thought it’d be fun to propose a scenario and then have people propose different things for the Twins […]
Getting Relevanssi Search Working in WordPress Multisite
We shifted the DLINQ site to multisite a while back. It’s no obvious change for anyone viewing but it enables us to spin up different sites without the hassle of jumping between sites or installing the same plugins/themes in so many places.

It has a sidebar menu for each section and at the bottom of each page are buttons for the previous/next page. Pretty […]
Gravity Forms, Open Street Map API, and Leaflet JS
I’m sketching this one out because it’s a fun mix of things. I’m going to use Gravity Forms to accept submissions, the Open Street Map API will convert the address into latitude/longitude, and then we’ll display the data on a Leaflet JS map. I could have done it all in Google but I was irritated […]

JSON and the WP REST API
This post is supporting a bunch of tweets going out for pressedconf22 on March 24. Why? The basic idea is that WordPress is good for taking care of the mechanics of writing on the Internet. It deals with users, logins, uploading media, writing to the database, etc. On the other hand, WordPress themes can feel […]
Panopto API meets WordPress
Imagine you have some longer training videos but it’d be useful to provide discrete chunks. You might also want to provide some additional contextual information for particular video portions. Well, we wanted to be able to do that.1 This example uses the Panopto embed API and the Advanced Custom Fields repeater field to make this […]
Fancy Gravity Forms Site Creation with Teams
This is an odd one but I think worth writing down so I don’t forget and because it walks me through some patterns that are useful in both Gravity Forms and WordPress Multisite. You can see the whole thing here. The goal was to allow students to sign up and create profile posts on a […]
