Has WordPress Lost its Magic?
- win_ini 14y agoInteresting I clicked on this to tell me something magical about Wordpress because all I think of it is the opposite of magical....it is confusing, abstracted and clunky with "workarounds" everywhere that end up painting you into corners too often (IMO)
- krapp 14y agoI really, really, really wish the themes were simpler. And that it used templating instead of having the php and html all mixed together. Which is perfectly valid usage for php but still frustrating when you just want to deal with changing the html around.
- Archetyped 14y ago"True" templating would be very interesting in WordPress, and it's not impossible that this may happen (someday). Nonetheless, a good theme author would keep the intermingling of PHP in the HTML to a minimum.
- krapp 14y agoThere is, apparently a twig plugin. I couldn't actually get it to work though.
- Archetyped 14y agoThis is exactly what I wonder about for newer users to WordPress, as it started out with a very clear direction, but currently is very non-linear.
- russell 14y agoI tend to agree wit the article author. I dislike the decades long trend towards low contrast icons, especially on keyboards and electronics. I regularly stay at a hotel where the alarm clocks have a bright blue face with black lettering. I cant read it in the middle of the night without putting my glaces on. These may be fine from twenty-somethings, but when your eyes are of the keypunch generation, they are illegible in low light.
