The refork of WordPress, that was decided in late 2022, which is going to be ClassicPress v2.0, is happening right now. Its based on WP 6.2 and does not contain Gutenborg (ie. the Block Editor), but compatiblity layers for allowing “regular” block-focused plugins to continue working. So CP 1.6 is supposed to be the last […]

i18n changes to the site
So I finally decided to disable Bogo, which has been a shoddy solution from the very start. But now its a shoddy solution only supporting the other shoddy, WP-6-only solution, ie. Gutenborg.

Micro-Plugin: Mastodon Profile Verification Link
Just finished building a quick micro plugin for ClassicPress and WordPress, which allows you to add a verification link pointing back to your mastodon profile.

After doing this for over 20+ years, and having seen a lot of fancy stuff come and go, my game in optimizing load times and rendering speed hasnt change that much.

WooCommerce: Setting a specific stock number for all products but a selected few?
Client wanted to have inventory management, but the items are all produced on-demand – except for unique specimens, which are either custom-made pieces which have been returned, or have been produced as a side or test run. So, we decided to enable inventory management, and set the stock number for all items in any category […]

Recipes + Cooking
A quick note on recipes and cooking stuff in general: I’ll be dropping most of my “regular” recipe write-ups, notes and clippings = snippets into my wiki (in its own namespace).
