## Description

Adds the [Oomph Microformats toolkit](http://visitmix.com/Lab/oomph)‘s microformat
overlay to any WordPress-generated pages (as long as the page has a [microformat](http://microformats.org/)
in it, of course).

This plugin is pretty idiotic (by which I mean brain-dead simple), but it does enable
anyone to fully microformat-enable their blog with purely point-and-click operations.
It’s recommended that you start with [a WordPress theme that already has built-in support for microformats](https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/tags/microformats),
and then add this plugin to the mix.

Alternatively, if you are comfortable with template code, you can write your own
microformats into your custom template. Learn more [about authoring and customizing WordPress templates at the Codex](https://codex.wordpress.org/Blog_Design_and_Layout).

Please note that all this plugin does is adds the Oomph toolkit’s functionality 
to a page. What that means is that the plugin has all the features and benefits,
as well as all the limitations, of the Oomph toolkit. Most notably, the plugin only
recognizes the [hCard](http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard) and [hCalendar](http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar)
microformats for now.

## Installation

 1. Upload `wp-oomph.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Add or double-check that you’ve already added microformats (either [hCard](http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard)
    or [hCalendar](http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar)) somewhere else in your 
    template markup.

## FAQ

#### I installed and activated the plugin, but nothing is different. How come?

First, view the source of your WordPress-generated page and make sure you see a 
line similar to the following near the top:

    ```
    <script type='text/javascript' src='http://visitmix.com/labs/oomph/1.0/Client/oomph.min.js?ver=1.0'></script>
    ```

If you see that but there’s still nothing different about your page, then you probably
don’t have any (valid) microformats. You might consider [switching to a WordPress theme with built-in microformat support](https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/tags/microformats),
or modifying your theme’s code to add some of your own. You can [learn more about the support WordPress offers for microformats in the Microformat wiki](http://microformats.org/wiki/wordpress).

#### The plugin doesn’t let me do X thing that I want to do! Why not?

Most likely because I haven’t taken _X thing_ into account. Sorry, I’m not a psychic(
as much as I wish I were). However, you’re encouraged to leave a comment on plugin
homepage or to contact me elsewhere to request that I add capabilities to the plugin.
Better yet, if you’re comfortable doing so, send me or the [fine guys who wrote Oomph](http://visitmix.com/Lab/Oomph)
a patch.
