[jgmac1106] GWG did the Borg subsume Zegnat into the WordPress collective?

[Michael_Beckwit until told otherwise, i assume he's stuck in the 5min install

# cambridgeport90[ Eats (Discord): I still have to decide what I want to do. It will be fun either way. I might go back to WP; the enhancements while I've been gone look great. Buyt what did I do with iW26 is question numero uno.

# swimrr hi
# swimrr is it necessary to enqueue child theme stylesheets? I ask because I've read it isn't
# swimrr which is not what wordpress.org says
# [Michael_Beckwit they just need to exist, you don't need to load them to the browser
# [Michael_Beckwit at minimum, they need to have that header block giving the theme name, author, version, parent theme reference, etc
# swimrr I thought they had to be enqueued?
# [Michael_Beckwit they likely say that thinking you'll be adding your custom styles to that file
# [Michael_Beckwit however if you're wanting to use something like sass or so to build other stylesheets and enqueue those, that's perfectly valid
# swimrr I just want to add styles to the styles.css stylesheet in my child theme folder.
# [jgmac1106] if you use the css in customizer it will not be over ridden when your theme updates
# [Michael_Beckwit then you would want to enqueue the child's style.css
# swimrr Thanks michael
# swimrr I appreciate it
# [Michael_Beckwit welcome
# [Michael_Beckwit customizer would also be a viable option as well, as Greg mentions
# swimrr how does one make sure you're enqueueing all the parent stylesheets (in case there is more than one, which I'm not sure of)
# swimrr that documentation says it will only work if all css is in styles.css
# [Michael_Beckwit if the parent styles were meant to be enqueued, it'd be handled already by the parent. you just have the 1 to worry about
# [Michael_Beckwit and the documentation is still going to go with a "lowest denominator first" approach. They assume someone making multiple extra stylesheets generally knows what they're doing already
# swimrr Thanks again Michael, your help has been invaluable.
# swimrr Cheers sir!
# [Michael_Beckwit happy WordPress developing

# [Christina_Hendr Not sure I'll have time tomorrow but at some point I do want to get started on a WP site where I can play with and learn about these tools. Question: I have multisite WP on my domain, so one thing I could do is just create new subdomain (e.g. christinahendricks.ca/[title]). Or I could by new domain. Former seems easier; any reason it might be a problem?
# [Michael_Beckwit nothing i can think of for problems Christina
# [Michael_Beckwit mostly a question of if you network install or install in just one of the sites
# [Christina_Hendr Thanks! I would just install in one of the sites for now until I learn more.

# [jgmac1106] Yes. Every post has a revision history
# [jgmac1106] In terms of you hacking on your theme... I don't know much about how that is tracked. Most just use a child theme and something like GitHub
[snarfed] joined the channel
# [jgmac1106] https://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/page-post-revisions/ WordPress.com only stores last 25,wonder if wp.org diff
# [jgmac1106] That is done. Available right in editor
# [jgmac1106] People like this plugin VersionPress
# [jgmac1106] Seeing sone security warnings about it though
# [jgmac1106] Some* but general revision history is native

# [jgmac1106] then you need to do nothing, that is native, I will grab a screenshot one sec

# [jgmac1106] weird...hey gwg why do I not see revisions in screen options?

# [Christina_Hendr Looking to use a WP theme: any reason to choose one or the other between sempress and Autonomie? I just like the look of the latter better, but maybe one or the other is better in terms of how it operates...
[jeremycherfas] joined the channel
# [jgmac1106] [Christina_Hendricks] do you want to track the community and manually update your themes from GitHub when someone pushes a theme update or do you want automatic theme updates from WP.org? If automoation is goal uyou can only choose SemPress
# [jgmac1106] make sure those instructions are included on any wiki page for a theme not in WP.org
# [jgmac1106] may already be there
# [Christina_Hendr Thanks for the help! May do sempress at first then just for convenience until figure out github plugin.
# [jgmac1106] [Christina_Hendricks] I have a ton of tutorials on SemPress too I think..lemme check:
# [jgmac1106] some of these maybe out of date due to plugin updates but they shoudl pretty much cover everythign SemPress: https://www.youtube.com/user/intertextrEvolution/search?view_as=subscriber&query=%23edu522
# [Christina_Hendr Another question: I set up a new site on my WP multisite for this, but now am realizing what [Michael_Beckwith] was saying earlier--if I do that then the plugins seem to need to be network installed. Will that mess with anything I already have in my five or six other sites on that network? E.g., I think I recall from the session yesterday that part of the IndieWeb plugins includes classic editor. If that gets network installed
# [Christina_Hendr does it mean all my sites will then use classic editor?
# [Christina_Hendr Oh wow--those look they will be so helpful. Thank you!
# [Christina_Hendr Maybe I set it up incorrectly because when I go to plugins on my site on the multisite it only gives me the option to use plugins already network installed. The only place I can add new plugins is on my network settings page.
[Michael_Beckwit joined the channel
# [Michael_Beckwit Classic editor should allow switching between editors too. You can only install at network level, but can activate per site in the individual sites.
# [Michael_Beckwit Once a plugin is network installed, it'll not show it in the individual site, if I recall right
# [Michael_Beckwit But if not network active, it will list for per site activating needs
# [Christina_Hendr Yes, now I understand--I network installed but didn't network activate and now it shows up as an option to activate at the individual site level. Thank you, everyone--super helpful. Thanks for helping out a total newbie with basic questions! 🙂
# [Michael_Beckwit Glad to help
