Thanks for the comment. After reviewing what’s available, I believe MediaWiki (for the moment) has the features I need built into the software, rather than through plugins (semantics, cite, toc, etc.). For those considering the same question, I found useful (but dated-2015) post on the subject: https://blogs.pjjk.net/phil/wordpress-as-a-semantic-web-platform/ . The page discusses how to include some features – semantic content types, more descriptive tagging, etc.

Thank you for the details. It will be useful.

I, too, avoid reinventing the wheel.

Since WordPress does not have a free equivalent to the js-based dataTables, I guess I was trying to shoehorn a WP solution. I could simply import a static google docs file, but I want to avoid going through 300 rows of data whenever the info needs updating. I could simply edit one post and the change would easily be reflected.

So, the solution is to either pay $59/year for the full dataTablesWP plugin or switch to a CMS that provides greater latitude in data manipulation.

I’ve tried the plugin. Problems: free version does not support custom post types or taxonomies. Full version costs $69/year. I guess I’m a bit spoiled by more data-centric CMSs.

Right. I followed those links, finding the “spacing” section in “styles”;

"spacing": {
            "margin": {
                "top": "value",
                "right": "value",
                "bottom": "value",
                "left": "value"
            },
            "padding": {
                "top": "value",
                "right": "value",
                "bottom": "value",
                "left": "value"
            }
        },

This is how I have my “spacing” section set:

"spacing": {
		"padding": {
		"top": "0.667em",
		"bottom": "0.667em",
		"left": "1.333em",
                "right": "1.333em"
                 },
                 "margin": {
                   "top": "10px",
                   "right": "40px",
                   "bottom": "10px",
                   "left":"40px"
                        
                    }    
					
	},

I can only get the margin to work via style.css:

.wp-site-blocks {
margin-left: 30px;
margin-right: 30px;
}

Any suggestion?

Thanks, Alan.

Although clearing the cache (and disabling Autooptimize plugin) did not make a difference, disabling the AMP plugin did. Thanks for the pointer. Now that the theme seems to be working correctly, I’ll go ahead and purchase the pro version.

Does Content Blocks include hooks for taxonomy? Looking at the pro page I could only see examples for posts and sidebars.

Ed

That is a very attractive option. Blocksy has some of the best features of any free theme I’ve seen.

Thanks,
Ed

Yes, Elementor would be easier, but I’m concerned both about the extra load time and the lack of Blocksy styling. My goal is to add a section between the category description and the list of category posts. I’d like to add three cards that would display featured posts of that category.

Thanks.

This is was a stupid mistake on my part. Menu 1 was set to “Main Menu” while the correct menu was “Main”.

While I have your attention, how do I remove the “Contribute” button from the header?

Thanks, Rob. I use Redirect for simple 301s, but am unfamiliar with how to mass redirect.

Ed

I had not. Thanks for pointing me to this plugin.
