SpencerDub Good morning, IndieWeb! I just made a WordPress post using Post Kinds, and the author details weren't saved. Now when I edit it and try to save the author name, it doesn't register when I save the post. Does anyone have a workaround for getting the author name to properly save?

beko hm. I checked for some sort of training post kind and found exercise on the wiki. Found nothing in post-kinds settings so I checked how to add my own and when I finished crafting my register_post_kinds snippet I found the existing one that is just disabled from showing in settings. There are many more. And now I really wonder why GWG :D
#
beko enables also 'trip'
#
GWG Reserved for future use, no current UI
#
beko seems to work okayish as long as there is a title and some content. url is not required.

[chrisaldrich] For those looking at delving into JavaScript/React for WordPress, Saied Abassi just gave an interesting overview of what is going on and some tooling in the last half an hour at WCSCV: https://2020.santaclarita.wordcamp.org/session/php-vs-javascript/
#
[chrisaldrich] The video is on YouTube ATM and you can scroll back 44 minutes to see the whole thing. https://2020.santaclarita.wordcamp.org/live/bonelli-stadium/
#
[chrisaldrich] There isn't any code in it, but he gives an interesting high level overview for breaking things down to make potentially tinkering and flattening the learning curve.
#
[chrisaldrich] I'm not sure how deep you're into any of it GWG, but you might find it useful.
#
GWG I might... but I have JavaScript reluctance
#
[chrisaldrich] We all do because the learning curve seems so steep. Saied breaks it down in a way so as to make it not seem so insurmountable.
#
[chrisaldrich] He also has some interesting tooling references which might make some of the WP REST API stuff you've been tinkering with easier...
#
[chrisaldrich] What is Frontity?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Frontity" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Frontity is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
GWG Will see, working on my kitchen
#
[chrisaldrich] Ha! I was watching sessions to get away from my kitchen for a while.
#
GWG Well, I am spending a lot more time in there.
#
GWG Well, not now...I just mopped the floor
