In reply to: [Webmention] Breaks ordinary comment permalink-linksSorry for the delay in replying. I am travelling, and internet access is unreliable…
Thanks for looking into this. I saw there was a new version of the plugin available to address this issues and I installed it, but I’m still having the same problem. Perhaps there’s another patch still due to be released? In case you still need it, here’s the requested example, which I’ve just re-checked with the latest plugin release…
See the comments against post URL:
http://richardcarter.com/sidelines/a-good-reason-not-to-write-in-books/The first comment (by Chris Aldrich) is a webmention comment and works as expected.
The second comment (by me, Richard Carter) is a standard (i.e. non-webmention) comment, date stamped 16-Nov-2023 at 13:30 …
1) if the webmentions plugin is disabled, the URL returned by clicking this second comment’s date stamp works as expected, taking the user to the following URL:
http://richardcarter.com/sidelines/a-good-reason-not-to-write-in-books/#comment-62482) if the webmentions plugin is enabled, however, clicking the same date stamp incorrectly takes me to my website’s homepage:

In reply to: WP 5.5 ‘Default categories for custom post types’… HOW?…what threw me was having to use a function named ‘register taxonomy’ to amend an existing taxonomy. Seems unnecessarily complicated. If a user (not developer) has specified a default Category (for example), shouldn’t categories simply default to that for all post types?
But thanks, I’ll start experimenting.

In reply to: WP 5.5 ‘Default categories for custom post types’… HOW?Thanks. Yes, I did read it, but I must have misunderstood. I’ll have another read.

In reply to: WP 5.5 ‘Default categories for custom post types’… HOW?Thanks, but that wasn’t what I was after… I know you can specify a default term for a taxonomy, but my understanding is that, until WordPress 5.5, these default values were not applied when the taxonomy was used with a custom post. The release notes for 5.5 say this is now possible, but I’m not seeing it happen. So I was asking if there’s something I need to do to tell WordPress to allow default taxonomy values with my custom post types.

In reply to: [Classic Editor] Needs a third Writing optionThanks for the update, Andrew. What you’re suggesting would definitely work for me (although I’d prefer it if this functionality were core, rather than in a plugin!).
I’ve spent a long time now experimenting with the Block editor, and stand by initial assessment: occasionally useful, but would definitely slow me down a lot as the default editor. Good luck with getting the change done before Gutenberg is unleashed on an unexpecting world!

In reply to: [Gutenberg] How to change permalink?I am not talking about editing an existing slug; I am talking about specifying a preferred slug before the record is written to the database.
In the classic editor, I am able to specify a preferred slug (in the ‘slug’ field) before the database record is created. When I hit Save, that slug is honoured, and written to the database (just like any other field).

In reply to: [Gutenberg] Can’t rearrange ‘Document’ boxesI don’t use Github, so please file away.
I would prefer it if this issue was filed as a bug, rather than a feature request, as the facility to rearrange the document fields is available and works just fine in the ‘classic’ editor.

In reply to: [Gutenberg] How to change permalink?Can I ask why we have to save a draft before being able to specify a stub? With the ‘classic’ editor, we have a permanently visible field, which makes a lot more sense. Now it’s so well hidden, I will forget to complete it.

In reply to: [Gutenberg] Centered videos display left-aligned…OK, thanks very much. I finally seem to have managed to fix this issue with the theme I’m using. It was a lot of work.
Is there any published advice for authors of existing themes on the changes they might need to make to ensure Gutenberg’s new features don’t break things? For example, I’ve just discovered the new columns block feature is overflowing the edges of my amended theme. More work!
I do take exception to how complicated Gutenberg is already making things. It has some very nice features, but they won’t be of interest to many existing users who just want to bang out text with a few images. Indeed, it will slow them down considerably.
Gutenberg should remain an optional plugin. (But, obviously it won’t, because someone seems hell-bent on railroading it through.)

In reply to: [Gutenberg] Centered videos display left-aligned…Incidentally, in terms of the options you suggest for fixing this:
1) the theme would need to set a different width when the width was different
My understanding is a WordPress function cannot detect the max/min width of the viewing device (unlike with CSS’s @media calls), so how could I possibly know what width to set it to?
2) …or do something with CSS to adjust properly.
But the HTML jiggerpokery that’s automagically returned when you insert a YouTube video contains *hard-coded* widths and heights, so I don’t see how CSS can fix this.

In reply to: [Gutenberg] Centered videos display left-alignedSeems to me Gutenberg is going to break a hell of a lot of themes.
Is there a list anywhere of all the things theme authors need to check to make sure their themes are Gutenberg-compliant?
