Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WordPress+Slack?(or simillar)?Right. I think what i’m picturing is somehow a slack channel+wordpress can talk somehow so that someone on the slack side for example point to a website or something a team or group is working on and it might show up as a post on the wordpress side.
Or possibly feeling like a slack channel is actually part of the website such that a group can say Hey guys here’s a update or live text chat that could show up on the wordpress side such that it it’s in a own frame or box kind of like shoutbos or ajaxchat (a live text chat plugin) does.I thought it’d be handy and realy nice if the slack part could say to wordpress: aha here’s a new post and a question or just a friendly geek post.
I thought it’d be realy handy (mostly so as it doesn’t become a mess) to have slack channels handle project and geek out chat. Then have wordpress say aha this is a general science geek thing send it to the a posts as ‘goings on’
I think it might make sense to have a set of slac channels for brainstorming. Then taged brainstorming(Thing here)
Then a seperate one to be kind like cork board about general geeky posts about science, or tech or what ever (just as examples) So as things don’t quickly become a mess.
If you have ideas by all meens.I haven’t used those kinds of services. So I have no idea if they slow down wordpress.
After I posted that I tried out WiseChat. for general chat. Working great (so far) for just general text chat.
I hope my response made sense. If not by all meens say so.

In reply to: Fun Funky quirky themes?Good advice!
I simply prefer as much as possible having plugins be what a website can do. And themes what it looks like.
On the other hand as you remind me (pls correct me that i’m wrong), the blue print were bits and pieces of a theme do is simply a good idea.For feel: Fun, funky, quirky, lighthearted, and playful.
Lay out: I tend to like basic oldfation ‘Fluid’ type themes. For example. I love starting with the fun “Adventure journal” theme, realy reely like that style of layout, nice and easy (to me anyway) font, and not particularly fancy.
The nonproffit is still in very early stages. But I think will have a kind of quirky cantina thing. (Kid friendly thought).
What want in a theme: and again if others have ideas by all meens. I want something with a basic mavbar. on the top a few catagories where to go in the site, trying to avoid people digging to find news. updates, how to donate. and where to find a brick and morter place, I think I want it to be fluid in that such that someone on a laptop or screen size I simply don’t have. It’ll still work fine. As my PHP skills are minimal some tweaks and customizations to taste or needs of the nonproffit. Place well with google fonts (a plugin can help here mabie). So as as concrete example the news section can have crisp simple font for headers, and a slightly bolder font for pargraphs. If possible also have it have background colors and pictures.
Colore and theme of the them: I had pictured kind a nice mix of oak and wood colors or textures for posts. And nice fun pastels for headers.
Does that help make what I’m picturing make more sense? Opinions?
or are saying: uh please have some tea or coffe that post was as clear as mud.I realy reely like how tweak-able ‘Nirvana’ and ‘customizr'(sp) the layouts simply didn’t quite fit though. I looked briefly at ‘Material'(?) the one I’m thinking of had a realy nice plaful set of pastel colors and a fun fluid lay out. But didn’t have a simple navbar either on the top or side. I may simply have missed that.
Thinking about this as I type: I simply don’t know. Does wordpress now have a way to say: hmm lets try different kinds of navbars now. I keep coming back to that because I want it to fun and simple to use the website.
Just trying to help people with opinions on themes to try. ^_^

In reply to: Collaborative Plugins?Quick follow up question not at all related to the above. I tried posting this under plugins or general. The forum litteraly didn’t have any place to do that. Did I simply miss something?

For example spam bots trying to spam someone being a jerk and trolling?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Spell checker plugin?Thanks again! I last used something like that in 3.x I’ll take another look. I didn’t know it does spelling. That is awesome. Is that the plugin the team uses for WordPress.com? When I tried it on 3.x for my shared host (namecheap) and a friends website. It caused it slow down. I simply don’t know why. Thanks again the recomendations (<—and thus why I use a spell checker)^_^
