For those who are looking for a simple solution to develop Block Themes or GeneratePress child themes, I published 2 starter boilerplates with :
- pre-made PHP includes for CSS and JS on both the front-end and Gutenberg editor.
- PHP linting.
- a simple esbuild workflow.
- and a zip export function for easy manual deployment.

@blog Schöne Sache, das. Ich hab noch nicht rausbekommen, wie ich das mit #GeneratePress mache. Aber vielleicht läuft mir da auch noch was über den Weg.

Still an old database showing, but i enabled an old theme.
ha. the old .php #WordPress themes were so easy to configure.

How did anyone ever convince their production (ahem. "Make") team that Block themes were somehow... more accessible for creatives (or whatever was that pitch)? A better approach would have been to advise people to ditch wordpress and learn how to use a web manifest document. Who's to say?

Anyway. That's the good ol' #GeneratePress theme.

Treading out the WordPress

Lanie Carmelo Dec 10, 2024

#WordPress users: Anyone out there familiar with #Pods and #WPGridBuilder? Can't seem to get #facets to work right. I've added 5 facets for my #portfolio: one with checkboxes to filter by project type, one with checkboxes to filter by technologies used, one with a dropdown to filter by year, one with a button to apply filters, and one with a button to reset. The first two don't look right. They only show 3 checkboxes each and the counts for those project types each say 2 when I know I have more than that. I already added custom project types, technologies used, and project year fields with Pods and selected the correct values, so I'm not sure what's going on. I could really use some help if anyone knows what's wrong.

@acarson Thanks for the suggestion! I looked into FacetWP, but sadly it’s not within my budget. I’m exploring portfolio plugins, but many seem overly visual or image-focused. My projects are more text-heavy, with elements like a title, description, screenshot, GitHub repo link, live demo link, and an embedded iFrame of the demo. Any recommendations for a plugin that could handle this setup? Accessibility is also a top priority!

My #WordPress website is finally back to normal—and maybe even a little improved! 😅 I spent all night undoing the damage caused by someone who offered to "help" but left my site in chaos. 🚩 Lesson learned: be cautious about who you trust with your work.

The one challenge I still haven’t solved is making my #portfolio filterable by project type. With 13+ projects and growing, this feature is becoming essential! Ironically, this was my original request for help before things went sideways. 😬 The person not only messed up my site but also claimed it wasn’t responsive (I can’t verify that myself as I’m #Blind, but no one else has reported issues) and tried to take over. Now I’m back to square one—but wiser!

I’m using Jetpack's built-in portfolio feature, which unfortunately doesn’t support filtering natively, along with the GeneratePress Premium theme. If anyone has tips or workarounds for creating a filterable portfolio with these tools, I’d love your advice! 🙏

🎉 Yes! Just added my last portfolio project to my website. It showcases my recent work in JavaScript, web accessibility and responsive design. 🖥️ Now if only I could figure out how to make the logo bigger... 🤔 People keep telling me it's too small on mobile, but I don't know how to fix it. Any tips from fellow developers?

Looking for a sighted person familiar with #WordPress and also preferably #GeneratePress to help with the visual aspects of my #website. Please don't offer if you expect me to pay, as I have multiple #disabilities and can't afford to do so. This would be purely voluntary and to help me out with the site.

#Blind #WordPress users, especially those familiar with #GeneratePress, has anyone ever created an image gallery before? My mom suggested it would be a good addition to my #website so I'm trying to add it using the gallery block, but I don't like how it seems to squish the photos together, at least when read with a #ScreenReader. The alt text for both shows on the same line like they're squished together if that makes sense. I'm wondering if I should look for a gallery plugin or something.

Just made some changes to my new #website. Can someone who can see go to https://laniecarmelo.tech and make sure it doesn't look too cluttered?
