[pfefferle] oh, we still did not add mf2 support to the microformats wordpress theme, did we?
#
[pfefferle] what WordPress version is http://microformats.org running on? maybe I can port some work I did with my themes over to the microformats one?
#
[pfefferle] WordPress 5.4.24!? 😳
#
[pfefferle] I would recommend updating it!

#
GWG I'd switch to a ClassicPress
#
GWG We don't need fancy
#
[tantek] GWG why not enable both and let people choose?
#
GWG ClassicPress is just a fork of WordPress that doesn't use the block editor

#
[tantek] then I don't understand your comment in the context of [pfefferle] sharing his link. what are you trying to say? can you be more direct rather than oblique?
#
[tantek] or my bad, I did not see the previous chat about what version http://microformats.org is running
#
[tantek] ok I agree that http://microformats.org should stay with a version of WordPress that does not require JS
#
[tantek] requiring JS goes against our progressive enhancement principles
#
[tantek] GWG, is http://microformats.org running the latest version of ClassicPress?
#
[pfefferle] I think it is running WordPress
#
GWG No, it's running an older version of WordPress.
#
GWG It needs to be updated to something
#
GWG I think I might have a password and can do it

#
[pfefferle] …and all I wanted to do was suggest a small theme update 😉
#
Loqi themeupdate has 1 karma over the last year
#
[tantek] themeupdate++
#
offeringofpie WordPress can be updated, and it won't force Gutenberg/block editor on themes. Well, depends how the theme is developed I guess, but fairly sure

#
gRegor Yeah, the Classic Editor is still available in regular WordPress via an extension.
#
gRegor "Easiest" upgrade path is upgrade core WordPress vs switching to Classic Press.
#
gRegor and sorry, orthogonal to the theme update. thanks [pfefferle]++

[artlung] My experience is that on upgrade Block editor is default on upgrade. Installing and activating "Classic Editor" plugin reverses that.
