WordPress plugin specialist
Version 2.7.0 of Gutenberg was released recently. It’s still auto saving drafts with a vengeance. 7 revisions so far on this short post. 9 now. 10. Oh my!
So I tried the Editable permalink. I found at least three problems. I bet no one’s bothered to raise them.
Oh fuck me! It’s a usability nightmare.
Most years, before visiting WordCamp London, I write a long bucket list of things I hope to achieve. This year it’s no different, although the main focus is on developing blocks for the new block editor, Gutenberg.
So what's wrong with gutenberg and classic-editor?
At present 33% of my content could safely be edited using the Gutenberg block editor. Migrating safely to Gutenberg is going to take a long time.
Should Gutenberg be allowed into WordPress core?
At the WordPress Portsmouth Meetup, 22nd February 2018, I gave a short talk and demonstration of the Gutenberg plugin which is being proposed as the new block editor for WordPress. In the deck are three slides entitled Road map, Current landscape and Projection. In this post I want to air my concerns about the part of the project that nobody appears to be thinking about… implementation.
Today I updated the version of PHP I use in my development environment, from PHP 7.1.1 to PHP 7.2.0.
I then raised GitHub Issues for each of the problems I found running my PHPUnit tests. New versions of a number of my plugins will be available soon.
A few months ago, having resolved to internationalize, localize and test my WordPress plugins, I started busily beavering away at a solution that will enable me to automatically deliver UK English versions of my plugins.
Now that Global WordPress Translation Day #3 is fast approaching it seems timely to write up an outline of my approach.
The solution involves a number of fairly well defined processes, and a lot of repetition.
WordCamp London 2017 is over and I am back home thinking about the past weekend and the future. Here’s an update to my bucket list.
Tools like Slack, Facebook, Twitter and WordPress itself are capable of embedding content from another site just by being given a link. I’ve just updated oik so that it will expand shortcodes during ‘the_excerpt_embed’ filtering.
Which means you shoudn’t see a load of strange
tags.
I’m volunteering again at WordCamp London. I have a shorter bucket list for 2017 than I did in previous years.
Basically, I need to find some paid work.
