Gravity Forms to Events Calendar Pro (no approval needed)
A request a ways back to see Gravity Forms to Events Calendar Pro had a problem that I wasn’t aware of. It required being approved or updated to make it live. I didn’t realize that because we wanted to approve all the events before they went live.
Here is another version that’s a bit more hassle but does not require any further action. This one is focused on a form with the ID of 3.

Strip Google Span Tags When you Cut/Paste into the WordPress Editor
You may note that when you cut/paste from Google Docs into the WordPress editor you get a bunch of span tag and inline CSS garbage. It’s awful . . . so you could paste into the plain text editor . . . but you may also find that you want to keep a bunch of the other HTML in there like links and lists and stuff. via GIPHY Jonathan Nicol figured this out way back in 2015 and I keep having to re-Google it or remember which theme I had it in so I’m putting it here to help me find it more easily. You can see my slightly tweaked version below. All credit to Jonathan and thanks to him for documenting it publically.
Google Forms Meets the Spaghetti Syndication Monster
Or – how I do things since I can’t program – but isn’t the first title much more fun?I freely admit that this may be seen as a stupid and useless thing to do (esp. by people who can write any sort of php.) I still see it as interesting if only for the fact that it shows different ways to make the information both portable, dynamic and embeddable. First off, thanks to Jim Groom for letting me bounce ideas off him, giving some technical assistance and for testing services rendered. Now to business. Here’s what I wanted- a web accessible form that would display the data as it rolled in right under the submission form. Just like comments for a post but we wanted multiple questionsTo help make sure people actually addressed each aspect of the questions. If you give three questions in a post and ask people to answer in the comments you tend to get 1.4 questions answered rather than the 3 you wanted. and we wanted to be able to divide the responses. So that, in and of itself, is pretty narrow and stupid but what this can do in the end is pretty cool and can have widespread power. Using Google forms and the selective publishing option you can embed all sorts of user inputted […]
#openupTRU – Simpler WordPress Writing POC
I’ve had a number of requests to simplify WordPress, to make it more Tumblr like. I get that. It was mentioned again while I was at Thompson Rivers University and that inspired me to get it done. WordPress has a lot more complexity than Tumblr and that allows you to do a lot more. Doing complex things often requires tools with some complexity. The thing that interests me is when and how you make that complexity visible.That’s a big, big question but this expression of it is realistic. So could we do something more Tumblr like in WordPress? There are certainly ways to completely re-write the dashboard and to set up user roles that only have limited kinds of access. That seems a bit heavy-handed to me and I don’t want to wall this stuff off. I simply want to make things very accessible to inexperienced users. The full re-write is also somewhat beyond what I have the time to do. I could take the time but in “innovation” land time is energy lost and I must ride the mixed-metaphor wave of getting stuff done fast. So in the time honored spirit of throwing stuff together with duct tape, I offer this for consideration. WordPress does have a simplified authoring view. Really. You can activate it using the ‘Press This’ […]
